Pontiac G6 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 25, 2010
Reported on May 25, 2010
| WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT SEDAN I HAD SOMEONE FLAG MY ATTENTION. HE SAID THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY BRAKING AT A STOP LIGHT. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NO LONGER IN OPERATION DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME. I HAD THE BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED AT RANDOM. I HAVE ALSO BEEN STUCK IN A FEW PARKING LOTS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO RE START MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND WAIT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO REVERSE SO I COULD LEAVE. I WAS ALONE IN THE DARK ON A SNOWY NIGHT FOR 30 MINUTES IN A DESERTED PARKING LOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION COMES AND GOES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS SUBSIDING FOR A SHORT PERIODS OF TIME BUT THEN RETURNS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THIS SPRING, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED NON-STOP AND I HAVE AGAIN, BEEN FLAGGED DOWN BY 3 OTHER DRIVERS TO INFORM ME OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON WHILE DRIVING AND GOING OFF WHEN ACTUALLY BRAKING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN FOLLOWED TOO CLOSE BY MANY DRIVERS AND CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF AT THE WRONG TIMES HAS BEEN CAUSING THIS TYPE OF ROAD RAGE TO BE AIMED AT ME AND I FEEL IT IS PUTTING ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER. IN ADDITION, I AM UNABLE TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR DUE TO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS TO DRIVERS WHO ARE DRIVING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. *TR | |
