Pontiac G6 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 20, 2013
Reported on May 20, 2013
| THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT...ONLY ONE OF THEM. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING. FOR SOME TIME NOW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE OFF AND ON WITH TAKING THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES, I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES REAL HARD FOR IT TO RELEASE AND LET ME MOVE THE GEAR STICK. ALSO EXPERIENCED OUR CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK WHEN ON VACATION IN FLORIDA IN MAY 2013. HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. THINKING BACK ON IT NOW, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE PROBABLY ACTING UP DURING THAT TIME! RECENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN WORKING. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TELL ME AFTER FOLLOWING ME, THAT I'M RIDING MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF! I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW. TRYING TO CONTACT OUR GM DEALERSHIP, WHICH KNOWS NOTHING OF A PAST RECALL. CONTACTED THE NATIONAL GM AND THEY HAVE NO ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY CAR. COPIED IT OFF THE WEBSITE ALONG WITH OTHERS' SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM TO PRESENT TO OUR LOCAL GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT IF I WANT IT FIXED. I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW WITH MY LIGHTS WORKING BACKWARDS!! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR 8 YEARS WITH THIS BEING THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I'VE HAD. NEED HELP WITH GETTING THIS PAST RECALL REACTIVATED AND PAID FOR BY GM. ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR IF AND WHEN THE RECALL IS REACTIVATED AFTER I'VE HAD IT FIXED. *TR | |
