The contact owns a 2005 Pontiac G6. While driving 65 mph, the driver attempted to apply the brakes, but the brake pedal extended to the floor. The vehicle did not come to a complete stop, but it did slow down gradually. The contact felt that the brakes were not working properly. The dealer found that the brake caliper wore down into the rear driver's side rotor and brake pads and caused a release of brake fluid. The mechanic repaired all the defects on the wheel. Soon after the repairs, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the shop and the mechanic stated that the ABS module unit failed and was beginning to affect the front brakes. The mechanic replaced the module and the failure ceased. The contact believes that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect. The current and failure mileages were 33,000. Updated 04/21/09. The left rear cliper seized. The ABS unit was faulty. Updated 04/21/09.

I leased a brand new Pontiac G6 in September 2005, on January 29, 2005 the ABS module burnt up and caught on fire, burnt the ABS system and half of the cars electrical wiring in the wiring harness. The fire department had to be called to put the fire out, they stated if I waited any longer the car would have been totaled. The dealership has had the car for a month now, they tell me they can fix the car but parts are and to quote the service department, " the part is on super galactic back order". my 16 year old is now afraid to drive the car, and frankly so am I. GM will not replace the car, or extend the warranty for the life of lease. I am considering contacting the BBB, and a lawyer.
