Consumer Description

GMC BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE - I OWN A 2016 GMC YUKON XL AND AFTER ABOUT 45,000 MILES THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STARTED INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING. AFTER HAVING A GMC TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHERS POSTS ONLINE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A REAR END CRASH ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE DRIVER TOLD ME I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC NEEDS TO CORRECT IT. THEY WANT ME TO PURCHASE 2 REPLACEMENT LIGHT UNITS AT 750.00 EACH.
