Pontiac G6 Service Brakes Safety Report | Aug 01, 2011
Reported on Aug 01, 2011
| MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS REPEATING BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATING ISSUES.(REVERSE OF NORMAL FUNCTIONING). FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS (2011) THE VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHILE THE BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON/ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS AND ACTUALLY STOP ILLUMINATING WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY IN WARM AND COLD WEATHER, RAINY AND DRY WEATHER. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP HERE IN COLUMBUS OH AND HAD THE ISSUE REPAIRED COSTING $100 WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 9-12 MONTHS (2012). THE ISSUE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE DEALERSHIPS REPAIR WARRANTY OF 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS (JAN - JUNE 2013) IN ADDITION, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MALFUNCTIONS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL, AS WELL AS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE FROM PARK INTO ANY OTHER GEAR FOR AS MUCH AS UP TO 30 MINS, LEAVING ME STUCK AND STRANDED, ALSO WHEN APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S NO PADDING OR LIKE THERE'S AIR IN THE LINE, AS WELL AS A VIBRATION . I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS AS I COULD BE VERY EASILY BE REAR ENDED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLES RUNNING UP CLOSELY BEHIND ME AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION I WAS SLOWING. NOT ONLY HAVE I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, BUT A HANDFUL OF TIMES I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER 2007 G6 ON LOCAL ROADWAYS WITH ILLUMINATING BRAKE LIGHTS DURING ACCELERATION. AGAIN I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND HOPE THAT WITH YOUR HELP GM WILL RECOGNIZE AND EXPEDITE THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A VERY SERIOUS AND URGENT MATTER AND ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE ME AS A OWNER THE STEPS TO ENSURE SAFETY.
