Three problems related to brake light have been reported for the 2004 GMC Envoy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased this vehicle 10 months ago and have to replace the headlights 9 seperate times not including the brake lights 5 times. After the 3rd time the man at the auto parts store stated this is a known problem with GMC> the lights get too hot and burn up the bulb and the connectors. I have had 2 buy now 4 rabbits connectors and they make the bulb last a little longer but the exspense is sad. If this is a known problem and it is posted all over the interent from customers with the same issues why has not recall beem placed for these lights. If it is heating hot enough to melt a connector that is a fire hazard and needs to be recalled. Now my speedometer stoped working and to my surprise I wass advised this also a common GMC problem with the cluster repair being required to fix it.
2004 Envoy: rear brake lights and parking lights have failed frequently and needed replacement 6 times in 6 months. Brake light failure is a safety hazard. It may result in an accident. I saw a recall on NHTSA website about this problem. Took car and NHTSA paperwork to gm dealer . Dealer said recall was for vehicles before and after mine. This conflicts with NHTSA campaign number #04v527000.
Problem with brake light not coming on. The fuses and tail lights have been checked; all fuses and bulbs are functioning. This is hazardous and dangerous while driving, for myself as well as unsuspected drivers behind me. This will also create problems with law enforcement for me or anyone operating this vehicle.
