Brake Light problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Venture

Both brake lights fail to illuminate. Bulbs replaced numerous times. Panels replaced twice. When panels replaced, will work approximately 1-2 weeks. Upper light bar will illuminate. No warning as to when lights fail. Numerous warnings by police to have fixed.

2003 chevy Venture brake lights continue to stop working. Have already replaced the bulbs numerous times. The socket the bulbs plug into melted and I replaced that. . . . Bulbs are out again.

The brake lights on both sides stopped working after failing many times over. Upon checking the bulbs and the voltage with a meteor. . . . It was discovered that they do work as long as the sliding door is in motion, hardly acceptable while driving on the road. Anything we can do about this?.

Rear main brake lights always replacing and burn out frequently with no reason now rear ended . If my kids were sitting in the back seat they may be dead right now. I hear it is a problem nation wide.

The brake light on drivers side of 2003 chevy Venture constantly is burning out. Occurs within a week after repair each time. I have replaced the bulbs half a dozen times and replaced the entire circuit board twice with new dorman units. Problem persists. This is a common issue/complaint with this and other similar gm vans. It is a safety issue, makes it difficult to pass vehicle inspections and may result in a fine if I am stopped.

We bought our 2003 Chevrolet Venture last year and have had constant problems with the brake light which do not work 80 % of the time. The circuit boards that hold the bulbs burn up the plastic and the bulbs which causes them to not light up when I press on my brakes. This is a consistent problem and even though I have had the boards replaced twice and the connector to the boards replaced I still have the same problem. I have spent well over 500 dollars to try to correct this problem. I have read on several forums that this is a constant and consistent problem among hundreds of owners of the Chevrolet Venture of various year models, and I am sure there are more owners of this make and model out there with the same issue. One of these days I am going to get rear ended because I have no way of knowing if my brake lights are out. I am going to get hit and then either have myself or one of my three children end up in the hospital because of a defect on Chevrolet's part. This is shameful that they have had various complaints about this problem but have yet to recall this defect because of safety issues.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Venture. The contact stated that the rear brake lights were not functioning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics where the technician advised that there was condensation and moisture throughout the front headlights and the rear brake lights. The technician stated that the headlight cover would have to be replaced but advised that the failure would continue to recur. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

I have a 2003 chevy Venture with brake light issues. The bulbs are always going out and when I replace it with a new bulb it will only last a day to a few weeks before going out again. When I take the bad bulb out you can see that the plastic is melted on the bulb. This is seems like a safety issue seeing that they go out so often you never know if you have brake lights. Someone is going to get in an accident that can be avoided if chevy would recall this vehicle and fix the problem. I know a lot are having this issue. I have replaced bulbs and the circuit board hoping that would fix it but it only lasted a few months before the lights started going out again.

For the past 2 years, both rear brake lights continue to fail without any detectable reason. I have researched many "fixes" ranging from replacing blown circuit boards, bending prongs for better connection and greasing the connections. The dealership said replacing the bulbs would fix the issue, only to fail within the following week. An independent garage cleaned the components and bent the prongs holding the bulbs in place to give a better connection. The circuit boards have been replaced, but that didn't help either. Iall of these solutions have worked for 2 weeks at the longest. There is no evidence of melting components, mositure or residue within the circuit boards or brake bulb connections. I have found, if I "bang" on each brake light prior to driving it might remain working until I get to my destination. I have 2 small children in the car with me almost 99% of the time, I'm scared of getting rear ended because the person behind me didn't know I was stoping because my brake lights didn't work. I'm hoping I'm one of many who have voiced their concern to your agency.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Venture. He stated the brake lights were inoperable. Upon attempting to change the light bulbs, he noticed the socket and the circuit boards were melted because of irregular electric flow. The risk of vehicle crash is increased if the ability to signal intentions to other drivers is not available. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current was 72,000. The VIN was not available.

2003 Chevrolet Venture brake lights failed multiple times. Only found out when warned by police that no brake lights were operational. Sockets were melted. Replaced the tail lamp circuit board. After two months the same problem occurred again, resulting in no brake lights. Repeated replacement of circuit board, and the same problem occurred again after five months. No brake lights=safety hazard.

2003 chevy Venture, constantly having non working brake lights . Replacing bulbs constantly because of the melting. Replaced them again with a lubricate, that I was told was needed for this type of car. Still having problems. Getting tired of having to fix the brake lights everytime I need to go out. !!!!!!!!!!! tired of being pulled over by the cops because of my non working brake lights. . . . . . . . . . . .

On my 2003 chevy Venture extended I have had to replace both tail light braking bulbs. My concern is that the bulbs elements inside the bulb didn't burn out they shorted out at the socket on both drive and passenger side melting the bulb to the socket. I'm afraid that this is gooing to create a electrical fire.

Flashing of lights and fuel gauge floats drastically constantly. The vehicle also experienced problems with low brake fluid, the door ajar, the rear hatch ajar, and the brake light remained on.
