Description of the problem | Started having issues with 2008 pontiac g6 a year ago, service traction control message started coming on, cruise control won't work, and brake lights are on when driving but go off when i press the brakes. I have had the body control module worked on twice, the brake pedal position sensor has been replaced, put on the computer several times trying to find the problem. Nothing has worked and all the service and repair costs have come out of my pocket. I have been pulled over by the police and state troopers, and have had close calls because of the brake lights malfunctioning. I just had the brake pedal position sensor replaced 2 weeks ago and i got pulled over again tonight because my brake lights were on but went out when i pressed the brake pedal. This is dangerous, i drive to work everyday an hour and a half each way to a city, and i am scared everyday that someone will hit me because they won't know i am braking. It is a safety issue and the fact that the manufacture has not done anything to fix this issue is risking my life, other driver's lives, and i can't afford the constant service bills for repairs that don't fix the problem. |
