Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Dec 08, 2010
Reported on Dec 08, 2010
| I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR MODEL MY CAR IS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING (RECALL #80317 SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.) AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SEND ME ON MY MERRY WAY WITH NO HELP OR OTHER SOLUTIONS BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND I'M TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE THING AND THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. MINE IS THE 2006 2 DOOR GT I'M NOT SURE WHICH MODELS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL BUT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS WELL. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED HAS BEEN A GM AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS ONE AND IT HAS REALLY PUT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. IF I COULD GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW I WOULD. *TR | |
