Consumer Description

BOTH OF MY LED TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED OVER THE PAS YEAR. GMC HAS REPLACED THAT OEM WITH NEW PARTS AND HAS MD THE OLD PARTS. GENERALLY, IF A BREAK LIGHT FAILS YOU CAN REPLACE THE BULB FOR AROUND $5 BUT WHEN THESE ASSEMBLIES FAIL IT COSTS THE OWNER AROUND $700 TO REPLACE. DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS IS A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. A CAR CAN NOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS SO THE OWNER IS FORCED TO PAY THE MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM WHICH GMC PROFITS.. WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? GMC KNOWS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.WHAT IS THE NHTSA STAND ON THIS?
