Pontiac G6 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Feb 13, 2013
Reported on Feb 13, 2013
| THE CAR'S BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RANDOMLY ACTIVATES AND CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TO TURN OFF. IF YOU TAP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE SWITCH MAY WORK CORRECTLY FOR A FEW SECONDS OR HOURS UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME WILL NOT SEE MY BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATE WHEN I TRY TO STOP MY CAR BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALREADY ILLUMINATED BEFORE I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THUS, IT IS LIKELY I WILL GET REAR-ENDED OR AT LEAST CURSED BY THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS FOLLOWING ME. THIS IS ALSO A NUISANCE BECAUSE I CANNOT USE MY CRUISE CONTROL ON MANY OCCASIONS AND IT PREMATURELY WEARS OUT MY BRAKE LAMPS. | |
