| Rear tail light assembly (both) connection tabs which hold assembly in place fail for no reason allowing light assemble to fall out. have replaced the rear tail light assemblies three times. first light assembly fell out at 8 months age (approx 20,000 miles), returned to dealer they advised assembly must have been damaged no warranty repair. replaced both with after-market assemblies, 18 months later rear light assembly connection tabs failed. replaced with dealer supplied parts (approx 75,000 miles). now about 18 months later rear light assembly is failing again (109,000 miles). possible cause is that plastic tabs do not secure light assemble in place, allowing normal use and vibration to cause connection tab to fail. | |||

| 2006 gmc sierra 1500 crew cab. only a year old and with less than 15,000 miles, the right tail light assembly fell off. there had been no accident, impact or abuse. the cause was the breaking of the two plastic threads in the taillight assembly. these flimsy, weak, threaded parts are all that hold the taillight on and are clearly inadequate for the load. this should not be a wear and tear item; it is a design defect. there should be some metal holding the screws, not thin plastic. *tr | |||
