“WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECURITY LOCK ON THE DASH PANEL LIT UP, AS IF I HAD LOCKED AND ACTIVATED THE SECURITY SYSTEM VIA THE KEY FOB. I WAS STILL DRIVING, SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO ACTIVATE THE SECURITY SYSTEM. AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE, I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY ACROSS THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I LET IT REST ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS WENT THROUGH THE SAME SEQUENCE. ABS LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AS THEY BOTH READ LOW ON VOLTAGE. TO THIS DAY 2/15/2014, THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING IS TO RUN A DIRECT CABLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GIVE OFF THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER. THEY CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION SEPARATELY OF EACH OTHER. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON…”

“BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT MALFUNCTIONING LIGHT ON WITHOUT BRAKES PRESSED GO OFF WHEN PRESSED CAN NOT SHIFT VEHICLE FROM PARK WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL HARD. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SAFETY ISSUE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. *TR”

“I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASNT USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T MADE AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION, IT DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR”
