What owners say
I pulled in krogers parking lot and my brakes went out then came back on. I went into the store came back now my traction control light is on and my car won't start.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. While making a left or right turn the vehicle stalled without warning. She was able to move the vehicle onto the emergency lane. The check engine light illuminated after the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the computer caused the failure to occur. The vehicle was repaired. Approximately a year ago, she experienced brake failure when the brakes were applied and crashed into the vehicle in-front of her. The failure mileage was 33,005 and the current mileage was 35,000.
The front brake rotors on my 2006 g-6 pontiac keep warping after only 10k miles it causes the front end to shake violently on the internet it seems there is a lot of other owners going through the same thing & all gm wants to do is resurface the rotors once but then 10k miles down the road you have the same problem if someone doesn't recall the rotors someone is going to end up dying from a brake failure this is the 2nd time I complained but another owner call you guys & someone told him that know one has complained about the rotors which is not true I filed a complaint about 2 months ago.
The rear brake pads wore out prematurely at 30,149 miles. I contacted the dealership and was told that the brakes aren't covered under warranty, and that the back brakes lasts for around 80,00 or more miles. They also told me that the front pads wear down before the back pads I had to replace the rear left rotor, and pads on both sides. A few times while I was driving and went to brake, it sounded like the engine stopped running and felt like I had no brakes.
