My brake light switch keeps going out which makes it to where my brake lights are on until i press on the brakes then the brake light goes off. i have a 06 G6. i have had it replaced two times and it went out again. has anyone had this problem and what can i do to make sure it doesnt keep going out. my mechanic says its the way it is designed but this has happened 3 times in three months!
Nothing happened but I would like to get this fixed because of the open recalls
The road was wet had no traction control and anti lock brakes. The car would not stop I was going around 60mph on a expresswaysliding and almost hit the car in front of me. This has happened twice since I bought the car used.I feel the car is to unsafe to drive it's sitting at mb garage in huntley il. On line there's a lot of problems.
Was almost rear-ended on i480. The driver then flagged me over to the side of the road .he informed me my brake lights were not working properly. Come to find out my brake lights were staying on while I was driving and going out when I apply the brake. I am not sure when this started again. I say again because twice I have had dealerships repair this fix under the recall. The recall fix is faulty. Gm is aware of this. As far as I'm concerned they are knowingly putting my life in danger. I have put a lot of money in my car. I repair and maintain it properly. I have receipts to support this fact. Gm should be made to be responsible that my life is not in danger when I am properly operating their product.
Brakes lights continuously stay while driving or parked. Once the brake is pressed then it cuts off. The brake lights will randomly come and go off from time to time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the steering lost power and the power steering, brake, and tail lights warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.
My cars electric system is completely went out. My heat and air conditioning system completely went out . Its extremely hard just to get my car out of park in my driveway. My keys get stuck in the ignition and its extremely frustrating because you can't leave your keys in the ignition, obviously you have to lock your door so no one will steal your car while your sleeping. And the most dangerous part or what's going on with my car is, when driving the brake medal is almost impossible to mash while driving even with two feet. And my morning commute to work requires me to be on the highway. I've had recall work done to my 2006 pontiac g6 before due to my electric system failing and these are all of the same signs of the recall. And I wouldn't dare let my family ride in this car. Thank you
