Pontiac G6 Service Brakes Safety Report | Oct 07, 2013
Reported on Oct 07, 2013
| I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T PRESSED AND THEN TURNING OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING AND IT WILL TAKE A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE GETTING OUT OF PARK SOMETIMES. IT SEEMS I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN INCREDIBLY HARD ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO SHIFT IT INTO GEAR. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THESE PROBLEMS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CAUSE COULD BE. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK LONG BECAUSE I WAS FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL CARS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 AND 2006 G6'S BUT OF COURSE MY VIN WASN'T COVERED. IN FACT, I TALKED TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP FROM GM AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THERE WERE RECALLS OF THE 2005 2006 G6'S FOR THIS PROBLEM AND VERBATIM I RECEIVED NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE . I JUST FINISHED TALKING WITH THAT GM REP LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AGO. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WORKING FOR GM HASN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS RECALL? I'M FRUSTRATED BY THE RUNAROUND I GOT WITH THE GM REPS AND IN THE END I STILL HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER VIN'S. *TR | |
