Open circuit condition that results in stop lamps and rear hazard lamps becoming inoperative. Center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected. The loss of stop lamps and rear hazard lamps could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and or is stopped and could result in a crash. This description was taken from NHTSA campaign id # 01v364000 and is the exact same problem I am having with my 2001 GMC Safari van. The local GMC dealer wants almost $500. 00 to repair this item. I feel GMC should repair this at no charge 1st because it is a safety defect which could cause serious injury if involved in an accident and 2nd they have the exact same problems on several other models as per your campaign id # 01v364000. GMC say's there is no recall on the Safari van so they will not cover the repair. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated! thank you, jay scott.

2001 GMC Safari van caught fire burned to ground after started. White smoke came from dash immediately after started.
September 1, 1999: ac problem (not cooling) repaired under warranty. November 3, 1999: left drivers door window motor replaced under warranty (not passenger side as documented on the invoice). January 31, 2003: I wrote to GMC customer service via email, detailing some problems that had developed with my van. I complained that the drivers window motor was intermittent at best. I mentioned was the windshield wipers worked erratically. My low setting on the ac fan was inoperable, and eventually all 3 levels stopped. I had been living with it for over a year, because I am a single mom, work full time and couldnt afford to be without my transportation. The reply I got was that my van was too old, and things break. Three months later, I received a recall campaign in the mail for the windshield wiper motor. May 8, 2003: I took my van into the closest GMC dealer to have my drivers window motor ($329. 38) and the ac resistor replaced ($103. 24), and perform the campaign to replace the windshield motor. July 22, 2003: returned to GMC dealer to repair ac problem (ac blows from defroster and not from vents) that developed may 10, 2003. ($132. 50)
September 24, 2003: returned to GMC dealer for same ac problem that returned July 30, 2003. That van was in the service department all day, and was never repaired. I had to have my car for work and could not leave it. Needless to say, I was very unhappy with them. I had been unable to leave the van again until just recently, choosing instead to live with the problem until such time I could afford to be without the car for a day. April 20, 2004: returned to GMC dealer for ac problem. Was told the hose was broken in a different place than before. (169. 24). During the drive home, the ac problem returned. April 29, 2004: van wont start due to a dead battery. I replaced the battery, and still same problem returns. Now I have an electrical problem somewhere that is killing my battery, and I cant find it.
