The rear lower brake lights stopped working. Only the top center brake light will work. This is the second time in about a month and a half that this has happened. The first time the dealer replaced the brake light switch located on the brake pedal. This time I have been told that the main fuse block has to be replaced. If this is not fixed, this will cause other system's to malfunction including the ABS, transmission not shifting properly (this happened the first time). I had about 3 or 4 different warning messages the first time this happened. These fuse blocks are on national back order. Unknown when I will be able to get the part. In the meantime, I have a vehicle that I cannot drive due to safety problems. I have done some research and found that GM has major problems with these fuse blocks. This problem is caused by a poor design of the fuse block by GM.
