| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000. |
| 2006 | EQUIPMENT | MY CURRENT PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE RECALL FOR THE 2009 PONTIAC G6. TODAY (12-8-10) I HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO ROLL. THE WIRING SYSTEM DID NOT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE PARK OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I LATER TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. 4 MONTHS AGO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING IN PARK. THREE OTHER TIMES I HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE/FOOT PEDDLES. I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE TO SLOW DOWN OR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL IT REACHED 30MPH. IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DRIVE IN TRACTION CONTROL AND READ DECREASED ENGINE POWER ON THE PANEL. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FOUNTAIN OF WATER POURING INTO MY CAR SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF ON EITHER SIDE OF PANELS BTWN THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS, RESULTING IN SEVERE INTERIOR DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT MOLD SPORES GROWING. INSTEAD OF THE FILTER SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF FILTERING WATER OUT, IT IS FILTERING WATER IN. *TR |
