What 2002 GMC G Van owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Everytime that it rains or when we wash the van water gets into the brake light system in the back of the van and shorts out the system, the brakes do not work and the blinkers start going hay wire. We have tried numerous times to get it fixed, and put new bulbs in but the same incident keeps happening, I do not want to get a new van just for that reason. The dealer just keeps saying that their is nothing wrong, but why is this same incident keep happening everytime it is wet. Water is in the brake lights and you can see the collection of water in it. We have no brake lights, blinkers do not work and the blinkers, blink real fast and the light system goes crazy, their is a short system from water collecting in the brake lights, what can we do, the dealers don't know and we cannot keep going to the dealer everytime it rains or we wash it. Thank you
