RepairPal Expert Overview:
The brake lights may stay illuminated. The tire pressure warning light may come on only after a tire has lost an excessive amount of air. Ineffective brake lights could cause an accident. Erroneous tire pressure warnings could allow tire pressure to get dangerously low. Dealers will reprogram the brake position sensor and the remote door lock receiver. The GM recall numbers are 09101 and 09046. This recall began on June 5, 2009.

Pontiac G8 Reviews
I have a 2008 G8 GT and it has been absolutely a perfect car!! The nearly 400 horsepower is such a pleasure to have available, and the chassis/suspension is SOOO silky-smoothe... like NO OTHER CAR I've ever driven in my life!! I've driven Lexuses, BMW's, Mercedes and more..... but I have NEVER driven another car that has the same feelings of stability, control, not to mention the 400 horsepower!! It's off the scale!!
