| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I OWN A 2008 PONTIAC G6, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE, THEY SHUT OFF ONLY TO COME BACK ON IN A SHORT TIME. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS. CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAD CHANGED THE BRAKE SWITCH THINKING THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOTHING. I THEN BROUGHT IT IN AND HAD IT CALIBRATED. THIS SEEMED TO FIX IT, HOWEVER, NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY STAY ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE. MY TRACTION LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN PRESSING THE TRACTION BUTTON. I STRONGLY SUGGEST SOMETHING BE DONE BY GM TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY STORIES LIKE MY OWN ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT DRIVERS BEHIND YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE BRAKING AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. *TR |
| 2009 | STEERING | POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AND WARNING ON IT COMES UP ON DISPLAY. THERE IS MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED. MY WIFE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT AHEAD OF TIME. GM DOES HAVE A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES. MY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACCIDENT IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME. SHE DRIVES THIS CAR MOST OF THE TIME. I CAN UNDERSTAND A FAILURE ON A PART WITH HIGH MILEAGE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS PART. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS WITH HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING WITH MILEAGE MUCH HIGHER MILES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE REPAIR IS VERY PRICEY TO FIX. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE DECEIVING THE PUBLIC FOR NOT FIXING IT AND REPORTING IT TO BUYERS. *TR |
