Consumer Description

LAST YEAR THEY HAD A RECALL FOR THE (BCM) BODY CONTROL MODULE. I'VE HAD THIS FIXED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED ON THE RECALL. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THE BCM SHORTS OUT THE TAIL LIGHTS, CAUSING THEM TO REMAIN ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. THEY WILL GO OFF WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL. I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE UNIT.
