G3

  • 57,000 miles
The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G3. While driving approximately 40 mph with the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact had to apply the emergency hand brake to stop the vehicle. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The contact checked the brake oil as well as underneath the vehicle to see if there was an oil leak. The contact waited a while and then resumed driving. The contact called the dealer (anthony Buick GMC in gurnee, il) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic located in waukegan, il, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The mechanic suggested that the failure could be due to the ABS or one of the brake valves. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V460000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

G3 4-cyl

  • 15,239 miles
I had a couple electrical problems with this vehicle. Fist had to repair the ac 3 times, radio twice (replaced it on the second time). Two months ago breaking lights stopped working. Went to the dealer and got it fixed (took it to midas but they could not figure out what the problem was). Then I notice that it would work only when I push the break pedal strongly and sometimes it would not work at all. Now they are not working again and I will take it to the dealer to repair. All the 3 braking lights do not work. It is not the fuse that you can easily access. Interesting when I took it to the dealer the knew about the problem when I described it.
