Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | June 29, 2013
Reported on June 29, 2013
| MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES FOR MY EXACT YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL ...BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE WEB SITES FROM OTHER 2006 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND THEIR CAR IS ALSO NOT COVERED BECAUSE THEIR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WELL, EVIDENTLY, IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WHAT THEY FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS. IT IS NOT JUST ONE ASSEMBLY PLANT OR ONE BATCH OF PARTS THAT WAS FAULTY. IF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS COMING UP ON THE EXACT SAME YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL...THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE AND ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE READ THAT SOME OWNERS THAT BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN FOR REPAIR, WHETHER COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OR NOT, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CARS ARE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE DRIVER. PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE SURE THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. I HOPE GM OR NHTSA DOESN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE IS ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I REALLY HOPE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THERE COULDN'T BE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WITH SO MUCH FREEWAY STOP & GO. *TR | |
