Tail Light Switch Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The rear left turn signal, tail light assembly works sporadically. It's a very expensive part on a vehicle with 45000 miles that shouldn't quit.

Rear tail light wiring harness for both right and left side let moisture in causing corrosion in the electrical plugs. The turn signals have been impacted and have had to both be replaced within 8 months of each other.

One morning when I was driving my 2015 chevy silverado, I noticed a message on the dash board screen which read "right rear tail light signal failure. I went to the nearest auto parts store and purchased replacement bulbs and noticed that the bulbs weren't the problem. I also checked the fuses and did not find any blown fuses which again wasn't the problem. However the right rear tail light will turn on if the lights are on but will not blink when the signal light is on or if the brakes are engaged. Later that night I realized that none of the interior lights worked either; weather the light is in the door position or the on position. I'm not really sure what the problem is but with this truck being so new with less than 45000 miles, these problems shouldn't be happening.

The rear tail light assembly is breaking out of these pickup trucks because of a weak design to secure the light assembly in place. The plastic clips on the side of the light assembly that attaches to the small metal clip and screw breaks off allowing the light assembly to fall out of the truck bed and hang by the rear light wiring harness. While driving the truck it strikes a pothole or rough place in the road the plastic clips break and the tail light assembly falls out of the truck. I have seen several trucks with the rear light assembly taped up to secure the lights. This is very expensive to replace this light assembly.

Tail light housing leaks water into tail light area which causes tail and brake light bulb bases to corrode , lose contact and fail to operate. I replace tail lamps every 3 to 6 months. Instrument panel failed at 65000 miles and despite extended warranty gm would not repair. I was never contacted about gm settlement concerning this factory defect.

Rear tail light assembly fell out. After talking with gm and the local dealership they have said that they have vehicles on the lot that this incident is occurring to and several that have been purchased that they are replacing. They will not replace mine because of the mileage on my vehicle. The main concern is that if you are driving down the road and the assembly falls out and you use your turn signal, the person behind you wouldn't see it and could cause a crash possibly a fatal one. I have not heard of any at this time, but I do believe it is something that needs to be looked into by the safety commission. I would hate for gm to be sued for a fault in their product due to a fatal crash or one that involved a serious injury.

2007 Chevrolet silverado pickup trucks have a plastic piece holding the tail lamp in place. This is the entire light assembly unit on the rear of the truck which includes the brake lights, backup lights, running lights, parking lights, emergency flashers, turn signal, wiring harness etc. , the entire rear light housing assembly. Factory workers "over" torqued this plastic part at the factory. During normal driving conditions, this part breaks and the entire tail light falls off and dangles just inches above the pavement as the electrical wires are still attached to the vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation, especially if this happens at night. This happened with the right tail light at 20,000 miles which was replaced, and again with the left tail light at 46,000 miles which Chevrolet refuses to take responsibility for. This is certainly a very dangerous situation which could cause injury or death if on a busy freeway at night. Be careful, as you have no way of knowing this while you are driving. The entire tail light, when it falls out, is hanging and dangling about just inches above the pavement. Imagine this at 65 m. P. H. Another dangerous scenario would be if the tail light shatters this debris could very well hit another vehicle, motorcycle or pedestrian which could result in injury or death. Or. . . . If the wire broke and separated from the lighting assembly unit, this could very well gain speed flying through the air and hit a person, another vehicle or business/residence window/glass. I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is. Chevrolet needs to recall every Chevrolet and fix this dangerous problem. It is a well known problem with these vehicles and Chevrolet will not accept responsibility.

Brake lights fail. Replaced brake light and a few weeks later it stops working. If I remove the tail light assembly and tap the bulb that's not working, it works fine for a day or two and then stops working again. This has been going on for the past year. Replacing with a new bulb works ok for a few weeks again.
