Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Mar 04, 2013
Reported on Mar 04, 2013
| THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. AT TIMES, THEY WILL TURN ON WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THEY WILL ALSO JUST COME ON RANDOMLY. NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY DON'T COME ON AT ALL. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT, I PAID MY EXTREMELY HIGH BILL AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING MY CAR BACK IN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS CORROSION IN THE BRAKE LINES. THEY FIXED THAT, I PAID MY EXTREMELY HIGH BILL AND LEFT. A FEW DAYS LATER, MY BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DID NOT WORK. I EVEN TOOK MY G6 IN FOR THE RECALL ABOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR LONG EITHER! I TRIED TO PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE WHERE PONTIAC IS CLAIMING THERE IS CORROSION CAUSING THE BRAKES TO SELDOM WORK. THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND JUST RECENTLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT BY THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR A SOLUTION. I'VE BEEN PULLED OVER FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING PROPERLY, MY CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO! | |
