Consumer Description

I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I OWN A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 15,000 MILES WITH BRAKE LIGHTS WHICH FREQUENTLY FAIL TO FUNCTION. I CHECKED THE PROBLEM MYSELF AND FOUND THERE WAS A CONNECTION ISSUE. WHEN IT CONTINUED TO OCCUR I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER (11/15/07) REQUESTING A DIFFERENT DESIGN WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THEY LUBED THE SOCKETS WITH DIELECTRIC GREASE AND THEY ARE ALREADY OUT AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO OTHER DESIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO WORK, UNLESS SOMEONE ALERTS ME, I AM UNAWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IS THIS SOMETHING WHICH CAN BE CORRECTED? IT TRULY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
