GM HAD JUST SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND DIDN'T CATCH IT, AND UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT IS A KNOWN FAULTY DESIGN OF THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE LED BRAKE LIGHT STARTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING AT THE 2 YEAR POINT, LEADING TO DRIVERS FOLLOWING DRIVERS TO NOT KNOW THAT THE LEADING VEHICLE IS STOPPING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE ONLY RESPONSE FROM GM IS TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER BUY A NEW $700 BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT MULTIPLE COMPANIES HAVE STARTED BRAKE LIGHT REPAIR SERVICES AND MULTIPLE YOUTUBE VIDEOS EXIST TO WALK INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THEIR OWN BRAKE LIGHTS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SO STEEP THAT I HESITATE TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, AND THOUGH GM REPORTEDLY HAS DEVELOPED A REPLACEMENT LIGHT ASSEMBLY THAT CORRECTS THE FAULT, THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLE THAT THESE VEHICLES COME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE WITH. THE MAJOR DANGER IS THAT WE DRIVE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND LIKELY DO NOT KNOW OUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY FAILING--SINCE GM CANNOT EVEN CATCH THIS WHEN THEY DO SERVICE ON VEHICLES (MINE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE BRAKE ISSUE), THEN THEY ARE LEAVING A LOT OF CUSTOMERS DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS TO AVOID THE COST OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY APPROVED A FAULTY DESIGN.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"GMC","productModel":"YUKON XL","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
