Consumer Description

REAR LED TAILLIGHT WENT OUT OUR ONLY 3 YEAR OLD 2016 GMC DENALI. THIS EFFECTS THE STOP, TAIL, AND TURN LIGHTS. THESE LED LIGHTS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE OF AROUND $700 FOR EACH SIDE. IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND ANY USED ONES AND ACCORDING TO PART DEALERS GM HAS A 'BOUNTY' ON ANY USED ONES TO TURN BACK IN. OBVIOUSLY GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT AS NOT ONLY AS GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS BUT IT'S REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.
