Description of the problem | At random points in time my pontiac g6 will not brake properly. When you push the pedal the pedal will go down to the floor and then come back up. When it comes back up it normally will be functional. The problem is it takes a few seconds for my brakes to become functional which has almost resulted in a few accidents. The problem only happens about 1 a week or 1 time every 2 weeks. When it happens whoever is driving is scarred out of their mind. My parents do not even want me driving this vehicle because it has a definate safety issue. I have contacted the dealership numerous times regarding the breaks. They said the first time that there was an abnormal amount of break dust. After that they could not duplicate the problem so they will not repair it. I have contacted the pontiac rep and they have been investigating the problem for a little over a month now with no repairs made. In the mean time i am driving an unsafe car, hoping that i don't hurt my self let along any one else. My car in the mean time always squeals when you break. My car is a 2008 g6 and just turned 10,000 miles. I should not be having issues this soon. |
