Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Aug 02, 2011
Reported on Aug 02, 2011
| BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND WHEN ACTUALLY BRAKING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST PERMANENTLY STAY ON. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY OR PERMANENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES. HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND RE-CALIBRATED ON NUMEROUS DATES AT SHAHEEN GM IN MOUNT PLEASANT, MI. NOVEMBER OF 2012, RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO LUNGHAMER GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SENSOR SYSTEM REPLACED AND RE-CALIBRATED. ONE MONTH AFTER THE REPAIR, THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAGWOOD'S IN MOUNT PLEASANT, MI WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNFIXABLE. DAGWOOD'S CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE SWITCH AND RE-CALIBRATE AGAIN, BUT THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT RESUME IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING IT OFF THE LOT. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM, IN WHICH I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF A SIMPLE FIX-IT TICKET SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO POSSIBLE REPAIR. IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I HAVE BEEN BRAKING AND THE CAR BEHIND ME CANNOT TELL BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL OF THE TIMES THAT I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR | |
