Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Brake Lights Safety Report | Mar 31, 2011
Reported on Mar 31, 2011
ACCORDING TO RECALL #08317 BY GENERAL MOTORS, THE BRAKE LAMPS ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6 WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY DUE TO FRETTING CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR WITHIN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO VAN CHEVROLET OF KANSAS CITY, MO TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD DUE TO THE FRETTING CORROSION THE BCM NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE BCM WITHOUT A FEE AND REFUSED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE SHOP WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS WOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED IF NOT FOR THE FRETTING CORROSION AS STATED BY THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE. GENERAL MOTORS AND ANY GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
