| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AS IF I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE. HOWEVER WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF MY CAR ARE ON AS IF I'VE PRESSING THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, AGAIN ONCE I ACTUALLY DO PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY TURN OFF. SO MY BRAKES ARE ON WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL, AND ARE OFF WHEN I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR |
| 2009 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING, CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL FLAIR ON. THAN WHEN TAP BRAKES, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF. WITHIN A COUPLE SECONDS, THEY WILL TURN BACK ON. WHEN ACTUALLY GOING TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES, HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS THAN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WITHOUT USING CRUISE CONTROL, JUST DRIVING IN GENERAL. BREAK LIGHTS WILL COME ON, THAN WHEN PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THEY SHUT OFF. COUPLE SECONDS LATER, COME BACK ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME(OR DURING THE DAYTIME), NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=6657 IS A FORUM/THREAD OF VARIOUS G6 OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND ALSO BELIEVES THEY HAVE COME UP WITH WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FROM WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, ITS A CONNECTOR WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND IT DEVELOPING CORROSION. *TR |
