Description of the problem | In the last year, both of the rear tail lights have failed in my 2017 gmc yukon. To have the dealership replace the tail lights it cost +$750 per tail light for a car that is only 3 years old. I work with led lighting and on average, led lights should last for 5000 hours of use. There is no way that in the last 3 years we have utilized 5000 hours of drive time to warrant that these led's should be burning out. I believe that the led's that they are using are defective and a case needs to be made to see if gmc is having issues with the rear tail light led's, the parts are way too expensive to be failing after a few years of intermittent use. |
