What owners wrote
A car braked in front of me going around 40 miles per hour. I was unable to stop in time and rearended them. This car is part of the GM recall for brakes
One brake light was intermittent, now both won't work at all. Doing an internet search, many, many people complain about this problem. The bulb cannot be replaced. Dealers charge $500+ for each tail light assembly and will not take responsibility. This is dangerous for brake lights to not work.
