Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Aug 15, 2008
Reported on Aug 15, 2008
| THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, SUMMER 2008. I WAS PULLED OVER THREE TIMES BY HIGHWAY PATROL AND ASKED WHY I WAS RIDING MY BRAKES. I WASN'T. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WENT OFF WHEN I MASHED THE BRAKES, FLICKERED BACK ON WHILE IDLING, THEN STAYED ON WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. I HAD IT FIXED THEN UNDER WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I WAS TOLD BY THE PONTIAC DEALER SERVICE MANAGER IT WOULD COST ALMOST $900 TO REPLACE THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) PLUS LABOR. OR I SHOULD BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, DRIVE THE CAR 30 DAYS, AND THEN HAVE IT FIXED. ON TOP OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES OF FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS, I'M ALSO NOT AS FOCUSED ON WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I'M ALSO EXTRA WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND ME. *TR | |
