Pontiac G6 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Aug 01, 2010
Reported on Aug 01, 2010
| I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN THE ISSUES OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ALL BE ON WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. BASICALLY WORKING IN REVERSE. WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. THE ISSUE WILL ALSO JUST BEGIN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND MAY JUST AS SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH TO INDICATE THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING. ONLY AT NIGHT, IN A DARK ENVIRONMENT, ARE YOU ABLE TO KNOW THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO SEE THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT IS LIGHT. DURING THE DAYLIGHT, OR CITY LIGHT ENVIRONMENT, THE NON-FUNCTIONING CRUISE IS THE ONLY INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. IMPROPERLY FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS IS A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. WHEN THE ISSUE IS NOT OCCURRING ALL BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AS IS THE CRUISE CONTROL. INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR | |
