| 2007 chevrolet silverado pickup trucks have a plastic piece holding the tail lamp in place. this is the entire light assembly unit on the rear of the truck which includes the brake lights, backup lights, running lights, parking lights, emergency flashers, turn signal, wiring harness etc., the entire rear light housing assembly. factory workers over torqued this plastic part at the factory. during normal driving conditions, this part breaks and the entire tail light falls off and dangles just inches above the pavement as the electrical wires are still attached to the vehicle. this is a very dangerous situation, especially if this happens at night. this happened with the right tail light at 20,000 miles which was replaced, and again with the left tail light at 46,000 miles which chevrolet refuses to take responsibility for. this is certainly a very dangerous situation which could cause injury or death if on a busy freeway at night. be careful, as you have no way of knowing this while you are driving. the entire tail light, when it falls out, is hanging and dangling about just inches above the pavement. imagine this at 65 m.p.h. another dangerous scenario would be if the tail light shatters this debris could very well hit another vehicle, motorcycle or pedestrian which could result in injury or death. or....if the wire broke and separated from the lighting assembly unit, this could very well gain speed flying through the air and hit a person, another vehicle or business/residence window/glass. i cannot stress enough how dangerous this is. chevrolet needs to recall every chevrolet and fix this dangerous problem. it is a well known problem with these vehicles and chevrolet will not accept responsibility. *tr | |||
