| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES | THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATES WHEN PEDAL IS NOT ENGAGED, AND GOES OUT BRIEFLY WHEN ENGAGED. I BECAME AWARE OF THIS SITUATION WHEN IN FOR INSPECTION THE CAR FAILED FOR THE CENTER MOUNT STOP LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING DUE TO BURNED AND MELTED BULBS AND HOLDERS. UPON BEING TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT, I TOOK UPON MYSELF TO GET THE AFTERMARKET BULB HOLDER AND FIX MYSELF. UPON COMPLETION IT BECAME KNOW AS TO THE LIGHTS BRAKE LIGHT TURNING ON WHEN PEDAL IS NOT ENGAGED. CHANGED BRAKE SWITCH, PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. SEEK INFO ON INTERNET AND CAME UPON FORMER RECALL, AND RECENT COMPLAINTS. CALLED GM DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND REASON FOR BULB HOLDERS MELTING IS FROM HEAT FROM BEING ON ALL THE TIME. *TR |
| 2006 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT,AND I HEAR A THUMPING SOUND , THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS FLAT. IT WAS SPLIT AT THE SIDES 3 INCHES FROM THE TOP OF THE TIRE. AFTER TAKING THE TIRE TO THE DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE SINCE THE TIRE ONLY HAD 192332 MILES IN IT. MY CONCERN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE OTHER TIRES. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY DRIVING AT 30MPH, WHAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER AND THE TIRE BLEWOUT?I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE TIRE SPLIT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ON THE INSIDE AS WELL.IWANTED THE DEALER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES BUT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE. I ALSO CALLED THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE LINE AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES.THEY SAID NO I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES. P216/60R16 UNIROYAL TIGER PAW TOURING (5R)*CN |
