IN MARCH, MY SON WAS ON THE ON RAMP ABOUT TO GET ON I-65 IN INDIANAPOLIS, WHEN EVERYONE STARTED BREAKING FOR A CAR WHO HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. HE BRAKE, BUT HE SLID INTO THE BACK OF A SEMI DRIVEN BY JOHNNY DEATON. THIS COLLISION DID $992.00 TO OUR VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED AT A COST OF $ 492.00 (WE HAD $500 DEDUCTIBLE) AT THE END OF MAY, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET SITES THE LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE REQUIRED WHEN BREAKING IS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. MY QUESTION IS THIS--- SHOULD CHEVRO;LET BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPENSATING US FOR THIS ACCIDENT? THANKS, STEVE SCHRINK

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
