Despite being killed off late last month Pontiac has managed to outfit 35,038 G8 2008 and 2009 sedans with faulty engineering. All 35,058 G8s are being recalled for following two reasons.
First of all, Pontiac says that the brake pedal position switch may have been incorrectly programmed potentially leaving the brake lamps lit up even when the brake pedal isn’t pressed. All sorts of chaos could have ensued had the problem not been found.
Second, Pontiac points towards the tire pressure monitoring systems which could have also been improperly programmed. In a nut shell, the improper programming could potentially lead the system unable to identify under inflated tires leading to all sorts of problems.
Pontiac says that G8 owners should head to their local dealerships starting on June 8th to remedy the problem.
