Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN BRAKING. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND IT WORKS. IT HAS ALSO KICKED OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. BASED ON YOUR WEBSITE THE ISSUES ARE LISTED FOR THE PONTIAC G6 SAAB AND CHEVY MALIBU. BUT BASED ON MY VIN # IT'S NOT INCLUDED. IN CHECKING WITH GM THEY DID THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL BACK IN 2014 ON THIS CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AND THEY SHOW NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PROPER FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.
