TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND SRS AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

THE BRAKE SENSOR GOES OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. A RECALL SAYS THAT THE BCM CAUSES FLUCTUATIONS TO THE BRAKE SENSOR ,IN TURN CAUSES THE LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. WHEN I HAD THE RECAL DONE FOR THE BCM, THE BRAKE SENSOR ALSO NEEDED WORK. THE RESULT IS 200 BUCKS WORTH OF WORK DONE THAT WASN'T RECALL COVERED. THE RECAL EVEN STATES THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE BCM PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN THIS ISSUE. ALSO INCLUDE THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTTING OFF, THAT WAS ANOTHER 200 SPENT FOR THAT. TAKE A GOOD GUESS WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF THAT ISSUE. SPOILER ALERT IT WAS THE BCM!!

DRIVER SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM LIGHT WAS OUT AND REPLACED AT PEP BOYS IN APRIL 2016. SINCE THEN THE LIGHT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENLY. I RETURNED TO PEP BOYS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES WITH PONTIACS. WENT TO DEALER ON 8/22/2016 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BULB CONNECTOR HAD MELTED, A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS CAR. I HAD TO PAY $212.17 TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM CONNECTOR AND THE NEW HEADLAMP THAT I WAS TOLD COULD NOT BE RE-USED. I AM NOW HOPING IT DOESN'T BURN OUT AGAIN SOON OR THAT THE RIGHT SIDE DOESN'T BURN OUT TOO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER KNEW WHEN MY HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON OR IF IT WOULD REMAIN ON DURING AN OUTING. SOMETIMES I WOULD BOARD MY CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT ON AND PART WAY THROUGH MY TRIP THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF LEAVING ME SUDDENLY IN THE DARK. LUCKILY I WAS NEVER STOPPED AND TICKETED BY THE POLICE OR, EVEN WORSE, SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SUDDEN CHANGE IN VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM INSIDE; CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR. CAR IS STATIONARY,

WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS POTENTIALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE. OF THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN SHUT OFF THEN THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. UNFORTUNATELY THE POTENTIAL.ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT CABLE IS IT MAY LOOK.LIKE THE CAR IS IN PARK BUT MAY NOT BE. LEADING TO THE CAR POSSIBLY ROLLING AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND RECALLS FIXED .THIS NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THESE CARS.
