Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle had no running lights. Checked bulbs and fuses ok .van went to chevy dealer was charged 100.00 checkout fee. The dealer found no ground from bcm . They told me it would be 752 55 to this point for them to run an auxiliary circuit to fix or it would cost 1200.00 -1500.00 to find the problem and repair. I went with the cheaper option. I do believe no running lights on a vehicle would qualify as a safety concern.”
