Pontiac G6 Service Brakes Safety Report | May 20, 2012
Reported on May 20, 2012
| WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY BROTHER FOLLOWING ME IN A SEPARATE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY CAR WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME, ONLY TURNING OFF WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (BRIEFLY) BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. I HAVE NOTICED THIS WHEN I START THE CAR VIA REMOTE (THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CHMSL ARE ON) AND IN REFLECTIONS AS I DRIVE... IF I APPLY THE BRAKES HARD, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BRIEFLY, BUT COME BACK ON AS I DRIVE. I DO NOT DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN NOTICING. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY INCIDENTS WITH OTHER VEHICLES (I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE KEEPING FAR AWAY BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON), AND I AM AWARE OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHEVROLET MALIBU FROM THAT YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT CONVERTIBLE. AS WELL, THE STABILITY CONTROL (THE GT CONVERTIBLES WERE EQUIPPED WITH IT) INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE... THE DEALER HAS USED A SCANNER TO CHECK THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING HAS REGISTERED IN THE COMPUTER HISTORY. *TR | |
