Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Sept 15, 2012
Reported on Sept 15, 2012
| BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE. ALSO THEY ILLUMINATE WHEN IN PARK OR WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON SATURDAY (9/15/12) AND MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. SO WHEN WE GOT HOME, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. WE PICKED IT UP AGAIN ON MONDAY NIGHT AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. TUES, I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR BEHIND ME SKIDDED TO A STOP BUT SWERVED AWAY FROM HITTING ME. THE NEXT DAY I MADE MY HUSBAND CHECK THE LIGHTS, AND AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE WAS HAPPENING. I EMAILED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN AGAIN. SO I DID AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS IN MANY G6'S. HE REPLACED SOME BRAKE SWITCH OR SOMETHING AND DID WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY PONTIAC BUT SAID HE WANTS TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TOMORROW. I'M VERY CONCERNED B/C I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR B/C IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE, I WILL DEFINITELY GET HIT. THERE IS NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND RE: THIS ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NO FIX. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE CAR A WEEK AND I DROVE IT FOR THREE DAYS. THE SHOP HAS HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS. *TR | |
