Drivers side brake light continues to loosen or burn out. We have replaced multiple times within the last year and within a month the light does not work again. There was a similar recall, 04v527000, on xl models, but GMC states this did not affect my model. The recall should be opened again and be extended to all Envoy, as I see many on the road with the left brake/tail light out.

My rear high mount stop lamp attached to the lift gate window has became detached yesterday on it's own. It seems that it's fastening holding it down had loosened and broke. It is now hanging from it's wiring and needs to be replaced, rewired, and mounted. I believe this is similar to NHTSA campaign number: 04v527000, where vibration and heat from normal driving use played a factor in uncovering another defect in the exterior lighting:brake lights.

Taillight bulb holder is failing. Have been through three. When a parts man at kelly Chevrolet was asked about this, his response was buy them in bulk????? called GMC customer service. Was told I would have to pay for a diagnosis(file # 1-270417936) I notice alot of Envoys on the road with brakelights out. I think it warrants a redesign and recall.
