The contact owns a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that the multi-function switch continues to operate after she manually turns off the switch. The failure could prevent her from warning the driver's in the rear that the vehicle is braking and/or stopped, which could cause a crash. The manufacturer would not assume responsibility because the VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 08V231000 (exterior lighting:brake lights:switch). The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 120,000.
