Description of the problem | Passenger side rear brake light working intermittently. Taken to dealer twice for issue and was working when dealer checked it. 90,000 miles on vehicle so well out of warranty. Drove home from dealer... Stopped working on way home. Started working next day. Part is $600-800 for something that is clearly a manufacturer defect. I don't consider a circuit board that cracks in the same place on many same model vehicles (as per internet forums) to be "normal wear and tear". Gm won't do anything about it. This is clearly a safety issue. Brake light is a series of leds on a thinly printed circuit board. |
