Due to the multi-function switch I do not have hazard or brake lights on my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix I do know there is a investigation on it now and I know many others in my area who I have talked to have had the same problem. It is not cheap to fix and I'm unable to get if fixed at the moment so I use someone else's car when I go. This multi-function switch has my brakes as well as my hazard warning light not working. This is a manufacturer's error and something needs to be done soon.

I am the owner of a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix and my taillights were both non operative, which resulted in a near miss rear end collision. I learned that the cause of this malfunction was due to a hazard switch that was stuck that takes out the brake lights when this switch malfunctions. I had no idea my lights were out and travel every week end on the interstate. My vehicle was literally an accident waiting to happen. I was one of the fortunate ones that found out before disaster struck.

I was stopped by a cop because my brake lights didn't work. I replaced the bulbs thinking that's what it was, but they still didn't work. It turns out that my center window brake light works but not my brake lights. Apart from that my hazard light is stuck. I tried pushing it when I had to pull over but it didn't want to go down or anything.

Hazard flasher switch burnt out and caused brake light and horn to become inoperative. None of this was discovered until the time came for state inspection. We believe the car was driven for several months in this condition. The switch was replaced. The old switch is still available. Date entered below is date problem was discovered. We believe the problem occurred several months earlier when a passenger noticed a puff of smoke in the car.
