Description of the problem	Tail light recall repair completed in 2013 - car has been back to dealer numerous times for same issue. Tail lights come on when driving an go out when you hit the brake pedal. I was almost rear ended by a semi last night as the brake lamps were not operating correctly. Dealer closed out the case as repaired - gm recall line will do nothing and want me to pay $120 an hour to have the car put onto diagnostic machine - i refuse to pay out of pocket for anymore expenses - i've paid over $500 already before recall was extended to 2008 models. I work at a gm powertrain plant, this type of repair is unacceptable to my standards of what management tells us quality is to gm. Please investigate further their fix was a jump harness and re-greasing of the bcm - that is not the fix the real issue is the bcm's are bad and need to be replaced my gm reference id for this issue is 8-2214129861. I do not feel safe driving this car at night with no working brake lights. Issue happens while idling, city driving, and highway driving. Traction control and electronic stability control lights come on along with scrolling on car screen to service traction service esc. Cruise control disengages and all traction stability of the car is turned off.. Pressure in the brake pedal also goes.
