“TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE BACK ROAD HOME CAR STILL SHAKING BUT MADE IT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT STOPPED. NEXT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS STUCK IN THE COLD POSITION WHILE THE CAR WAS HOT AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. NEXT MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP I CHECKED FOR RECALLS IT SAYS MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUT MY CAR IS DOING EVERYTHING SAID IN THE RECALL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH TWO TODDLER KIDS.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT "ALL COMMUNICATIONS WERE LOST AND NO CODES WERE DETECTED". FURTHERMORE, THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF DID NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOWSER AUTOMOTIVE (412-469-2100, LOCATED AT 132-, 168 N LEWIS RUN RD, WEST MIFFLIN, PA 15122) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT DID NOT FIND ANY CODES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 2017 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,300.”

“BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON RANDOMLY AND STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES, CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ONLY FIX FOR NOW IS TO GREASE CIRCUIT, BUT I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THAT EVERY FEW WEEKS.”

“THIS CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COMING ON AND OFF. I TOOK THE CAR IN MYSELF AND THEY LUBED UP THE CIRCUITS WITH DIELECTRIC GREASE. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THIS MORNING I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND KIDS AND THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN SHE IS GOING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN SHE APPLIES THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME MY RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T CARE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND LEARN HOW TO GREASE THE ELECTRIC PLUG THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CAR AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT.”

“BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. ALSO HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL UNUSUALLY HARD TO FLOOR TO GET TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON PONTIAC G6 CARS FOR THIS ( RECALL#13036). I TYPED MY VIN NUMBER IN THIS WEBSITE AND IT SAID 0 RECALLS ON IT. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. NOT SURE IF THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON FEB. 28, 2019 BUT APPROXIMATELY THEN. AND IT PROBABLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN PARK MODE ALTHOUGH CAN'T BE SURE.”
