NHTSA Complaint #10408424 — 2005 PONTIAC G6

WE OWN A 05 PONTIAC G6. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WHEN THE SENSOR IS HAVING ISSUES, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH IS THEN THE SENSOR CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHT TO WORK IN REVERSE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS REPLACED AND NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THE "FIX" IS THE ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT. THIS ELECTRICAL LUBRICANT IS ONLY GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A HALF[XXX] "FIX". WE HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL "FORMER" PONTIAC DEALERS ONLY TO HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE "OUT OF LUCK". THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU DEPRESS YOUR BRAKES AND NO LIGHTS COME ON IT COULD LEAD TO A REAR-END COLLISION.THANKFULLY THIS LAST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS WARNED OF THIS EVENT BY A GAL WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND HIM. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DRINKING. HE WAS TOLD THAT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A DRUNK DRIVER IS THAT THEY "RIDE THEIR BRAKES". GM NEEDS TO GET THIS CORRECTED!! IT IS NOT SAFE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DRIVES 50 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK EVERYDAY. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE G6. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE WE GOT IT BETWEEN THIS BRAKE ISSUE, A "CLUNKING" NOISE WHEN TURNING (WHICH WE WERE TOLD IS "NOTHING" FROM OUR FORMER PONTIAC DEALERS) AND THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF LEAKING AND NOISE ISSUES, WHICH AS WELL WE WERE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT. (WE HAD STANDING WATER IN THE VEHICLE W/ THE LEAKS) THIS BRAKE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!!!! WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CRAPPY SERVICE AND LACK OF CARE IN GETTING THIS VEHICLE RECALLED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE??? I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME THING. I WOULD IMPLORE NHTSA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM
