Pontiac G6 Service Brakes Safety Report | Jan 15, 2013
Reported on Jan 15, 2013
| APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY. AFTER CAR WOULD BE SHUT OFF THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER I RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. DID NOT THINK TO MUCH OF IT DUE TO IT BEING WINTER AND THOUGHT THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CAUSING IT. SINCE THE WEATHER HAS CLEARED I NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CRUISE ON ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CRUISE WOULD SHUT OFF AND COULD NOT GET IT TO GO BACK ON, AND AGAIN THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON UNTIL I SHUT OFF MY CAR. COULD NOT USE MY CRUISE AT ALL. IT WASN'T TILL RECENTLY THAT SOMEONE ON THE ROAD FLAGGED ME DOWN AND SAID THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON AND WHEN I BRAKE THEY WENT OUT. NOT GOOD. TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. HAD THAT REPLACED BUT DID NOT EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY. NEXT DAY THE ENTIRE PROCESS STARTED OVER AND I AM STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON WHEN I AM DEPRESSING THE GAS AND GOING OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! ASAP THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I ALSO READ THAT THE BCM HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME BUT ALSO NEED TO BE RE CALIBRATED AFTER THE PART IT REPLACED. I AM GOING TO TRY THIS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, DON'T REALLY LIKE DRIVING MY CAR IN THIS CONDITION. I HOPE THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BEFORE THE ACCIDENTS START HAPPENING. *TR | |
