Brake Light problems of the 2008 Cadillac DTS

There is a 41 inch brake light installed on the trunk lid which costs $223. 75 to replace. It would have been no big deal, but, as I was replacing it, I noticed it was never properly fitted to the trunk at the factory, which caused the original damage, broken completely through in the middle, and several cracks, not working. To bolt on a new one improperly fitted will cause the same damage because the hard plastic is under heavy stress when tightened down. To properly fix the situation will cost thousands, my wife and I both have disabilities and we cannot possibly afford the fix as the car already needs over $3000 in suspension parts as well, plus labor. It is a safety issue and a ticketable offense. We expect gm to fully pay for a proper fix as they had to know what would happen up the road. I'm sure they've also noticed a large number of the lights being ordered. Doesn't president obama ride in a stretched Dts? he might want to have his fixed too. By the way, we just purchased a new malibu 6 days ago, which if this isn't handled rapidly will go right back to the dealer and both personal and class action suits filed.
