December 2004 CrashDeath

Brake lights fail to illuminate, hazard flasher intermittently works, top center brake light works as it should. Replaced the flasher unit to no avail. Determined to be a defective turn signal-multifunction switch. Researched the numerous complaints and saw that there was a recall for this problem but according to the dealer my vehicle does not fit it to the recall. I see that there are many many people with the same problem. It seems that this recall did not include many of the effected vehicles.
