“After getting pulled over by the police for a tail light that was out,I was in motion and this is when I started my research. Right tail light is out, faulty parts. Checked all fuse and wire connection for corrosion, but ther was no sign of damage. Gmc wants to charge $1,500 to fix. The next issue is the paint job. I am at 50,000 miles and the paint is already fading. The clear coat was super thin and cheaply done. Gmc said they would cover onley 25% of a $6000 - $12,000 paint job”
