Brake light stops working on rear driver's side, this has happened three times in less than a year so far. The bulb itself does not burn out but the plastic on the bulb melts on the one side covering the wires. We still have all the bulbs that we replaced if needed for viewing.

: the contact stated the rear brake lights burned out continuously, and were replaced 20 times. The vehicle was not inspected by a mechanic.

There are 2 main safety concerns with my 2002 Pontiac Montana thunder minivan. First, the rear driver's side brake light has gone out. Even with replacement of bulb and fuse, the brake light will not work. From researching on the internet, this seems to be a design defect and a common problem. This is a major safety issue!!! second, the rear windshield wiper does not work. Again, this seems to be a common 2002 Pontiac Montana problem, and again, is a safety concern.

Corrosion inside tail lamp assembly has caused both rear brake lights to fail. Only center brake light bar is functional.

Back tail/brake lights allow water to run into them causing loss of brake lights in rain.

Stop lamp bulbs are shorting out at connector to sockets. This has happened three times so far. Twice on the left side and once on the right side. The result is a melted base on oem bulbs with plastic bases and an inoerable brake light. Frequent failures of stop lamps creates a safety hazard. So far I have replaced three bulbs, cleaned and filed the contacts, applied dielectric grease, and used bulbs with glass bases. One of the plastic base bulbs is available for inspection. There was no indication of contamination from moisture or other sources. Vehicle has not been driven in cold climate or high humidity conditions.
