Reference recalls on report receipt date: Apr 27, 2006 NHTSA campaign number: 06V139000 component(s): Exterior lighting report receipt date: Jul 29, 2009 NHTSA campaign number: 09V310000 component(s): Exterior lighting my 2004 GMC Canyon brake light went out on me on 8/8/2013. The brake light out was a safety concern for tailgaters. So I took to mark christopher GMC dealer, Ontario ca for repair because of two same recalls on the vehicle plus transmission oil change. Original estimation of cost was 305. The dealer decided to charge me 155 for transmission oil change and labor, $16.75 for a defective/malfunction brake switch and $200 on labor. They told me the recalls was done already on the vehicle and there is no warranty on the second attempt. The final estimation of cost was $377. I don't recall the date that it was serviced. How can GMC assures that the vehicle recalls was done properly? I'm very disappointed with GMC and it recalls. I felt like I got rip off by the dealer. Beside, I don't know if they ever change my transmission oil filter and casket along with the transmission oil change.

I have a 2004 GMC Canyon and was pulled over and told that my brake lights were not working. When I looked up how to fix this problem or possible causes ( the bulbs were fine ) I noticed that there were a lot of hits for a recall for this exact problem on the exact make and model. The turn signals and night time lights all work fine, but no luck with any of the brake lights.

The brake light switch fails and we lose the brake lights and the cruise control. It has been replaced 2 times at the dealer and once by me after the recall under PE05065.
