2006 PONTIAC G6 Exterior Lighting Problems

While driving the vehicle, the break lights are on, when you stop, or press the break peddle, the break lights go out, therefore giving no warning to the vehicles behind you.

I have had to get 3 new keys made for this car due to the security light coming on, sometimes it will not crank or start, so I have replaced the starter twice, have replaced relays and fuses, and the security light will come on while drive down the road and all gauges drop to zero, even the gas light says empty and every light on the dash comes on. But the car will still drive. But once you turn it off it will not start for a few hours! It’s impossible to find parts for Pontiac anymore so everything has to be ordered! This should’ve been recalled a long time ago!

Brake lights are illuminating when accelerating (when brake pedal is NOT depressed) and are NOT illuminating when actually braking (when brake pedal IS depressed). I found GM recalls for this, but they are not attributed to my car, hence the recall that took place for this was not wide enough / did not cover all vehicles affected. (Recall 80317) (A poor electrical connection at the brake light switch could result in various electrical issues, one of which would be the brake lights failing to work, increasing the risk of a crash. GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK.)

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Power steering pump/Module, Break light, and Head lights How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Power steering/module went out while driving and almost cause an accident. The break and head light have gone out shortly after changing them and caused me to receive a Warning ticket. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No but I can take it in to the nearest dealership to have a report made. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Police Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the error for the power steering/module came on as it was failing. no head light or break light warning.

WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED ON I480. THE DRIVER THEN FLAGGED ME OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD .HE INFORMED ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. COME TO FIND OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND GOING OUT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS STARTED AGAIN. I SAY AGAIN BECAUSE TWICE I HAVE HAD DEALERSHIPS REPAIR THIS FIX UNDER THE RECALL. THE RECALL FIX IS FAULTY. GM IS AWARE OF THIS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY ARE KNOWINGLY PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. I HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN MY CAR. I REPAIR AND MAINTAIN IT PROPERLY. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SUPPORT THIS FACT. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO BE RESPONSIBLE THAT MY LIFE IS NOT IN DANGER WHEN I AM PROPERLY OPERATING THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BARELY BEEN WORKING. EVER SINCE I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THEM AND HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED PLUS WIRING REDONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES. EACH TIME MY LOW BEAMS GO OUT. IT STARTED WITH ONE WORKING AND ONE NOT, AND QUICKLY LED TO BOTH GOING ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS, ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS MOM HAVING THE SAME EXACT CAR, DIFFERENT YEAR MIND YOU BUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY POSSIBLE RECALLS AND CAN'T COME ACROSS ONE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR GM. MY INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LIGHTS, AS THEY WON'T WORK NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FIX THEM. MY HIGH BEAMS DO SO I'VE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THEM. I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL MAJOR ANXIETY AND UNEASE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

RECALL 13036 INCLUDING SPECIAL COVERAGE 16188 DID NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS... -SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED -SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE APPLIED -CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE (THE ABOVE CONDITIONS HAVE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING AND BRAKING.) -VEHICLE WILL SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT THE SERVICE BRAKES BEING APPLIED THESE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE THE EXACT CONDITIONS THAT RECALL 13036 WAS TO HAVE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THIS RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. I CANNOT GET MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO DELIVER THE VEHICLE TO ME UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REMEDIED. SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAYS THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) NEEDS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR RECALL, THE RECALL DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND AM TOLD THAT 1) THE PROBLEM IS THE BCM AND 2) I CANT HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I AM NOT SATISFIED. THE VEHICLE PROBLEM IS NOT REMEDIED. I AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET THE VEHICLE REMEDIED. PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERS ME TO THE NHTSA. THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS FELLOW MOTORISTS AROUND THE VEHICLE. I AM UPSET THAT A LARGE CORPORATION WOULD NOT TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE, AFTER NOT FIXING A RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14V252. THANK YOU

RE: PONTIAC 2006 -G6 GT ELECT. SYSTEM, ELECT. STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL --- THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ABOVE PROBLEMS IN 2014. AT THAT TIME I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER TO BE FIXED, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT IN NEED OF REPAIR BECAUSE NO PROBLEMS HAD EXISTED, DEALER STATED HE FIXED ALL RECALL PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. NOW TWO YEARS LATER I AM EXPERIENCING ALL THE LISTED PROBLEMS ABOVE. I TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHERE HE DID REPLACE PARTS BUT STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEM. IT MUST GO BACK TO DEALER SO PROBLEM CAN BE ALLEVIATED. BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON WHEN BRAKING ALSO WHEN APPLYING GAS THEY SOMETIMES GO ON. CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO NOT WORKING. WHAT'S TO SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED IN 2014 WHEN THE CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WASN'T HAVING ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME. HAD DO I KNOW THE WORK WAS EVER DONE THE FIRST TIME AROUND SINCE I WAS NOT IN THE SERVICE AREA AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WHAT'S TO SAY I WAS HANDED AN ITEMIZED LIST OF ALL CORRECTED PARTS AND INDEED IT WAS NEVER FIXED. I CALLED PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET. ACCORDING TO NHTSA -THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TO REDUCE DEATHS AND INJURIES ON THE ROADWAYS TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR THE PUBLIC. THEY ALSO NEED TO BE ON THE CUSTOMERS SIDE AND NOT THE SIDE OF THE DEALER. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BULBS 3 TIMES AND IT ONLY LAST A FEW DAYS. I CAN BANG ON THE HEADLIGHT AND IT WILL COME BACK ON FOR A DAY OR SO BUT THEN TURNS OFF AGAIN. IT IS USUALLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT SOMETIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. AFTER SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS I HAVE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS A SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE CARS THAT COULD CAUSE THEM TO GO UP IN FLAMES.

Mileage: 100,000

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY STAY ON AND TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES AND RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD OR EVEN JUST SITTING STILL. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND EVERY TIME IT IS AN ISSUE WITH BCM. WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WHAT THEY DID DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT DID, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.

Mileage: 150,000

I HAD THE RECALLS ALL FIXED AS SOON AS I WAS AWARE OF THEM. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AS I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND $300 LATER IT WAS FIXED. THEY SAID I HAD TO PAY SINCE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. A FEW MONTHS LATER AND HERE I AM AGAIN WITH THE AIRBAG REPORTING PROBLEMS AS WORKING AND NOT WORKING. ALSO NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AS I AM DRIVING AND TURNING OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I TAP THE BRAKE. AS I AM STOPPED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNING ON UNLESS I FORCEFULLY HOLD THE PEDAL DOWN. I KNOW WHEN I TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER THAT IT IS GOING TO BE THE SAME THING, LOTS OF MONEY FOR A TEMPORARY FIX THAT ALL EXTEND FROM THE "FIXED" RECALL. I ALSO HAD A NEW BRAKE CONTROL SENSOR PUT IN, BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THIS IS CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND SINCE IT IS MY CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO DO HERE. THE RECALL REPAIR IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM, OTHER THAN TEMPORARILY, AND THIS IS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM JANUARY 2012. I HAD TO PRESS ON BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND BRAKE PEDAL WOULD MAKE A NOISE WHEN I FIRST PUSHED ON IT. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE WHILE IN USE OR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. NOT SURE IF BRAKE LIGHTS WERE IMPROPERLY WORKING AT THIS TIME OR NOT. TOOK CAR TO GM DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES BEFORE IT SEEMED TO BE FIXED. FORWARD TO OCTOBER OF 2015 AND ISSUE IS BACK. THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT THE ONLY REASON I DISCOVERED THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BEING ON IS I WAS AT GAS STATION AND GOT OUT OF MY CAR AS IT WAS IDLE AND IN PARK TO THROW SOMETHING AWAY AND NOTICED DURING THE DAY MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE ON AND VERY BRIGHT. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY AND AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE SHOP PUT IN A NEW BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CAN.OF DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS TOO DANGEROUS.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT LIGHTS. THIS EVENING I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD AND SUDDENLY BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PUT ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND 15 SECONDS LATER, BOTH LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED EVERY FEW HUNDRED FEET FOR MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND AS I'M LOOKING ONLINE I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING LIGHTING ISSUES. IF THIS IS A FREQUENT AND KNOWN PROBLEM, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. IT WAS REALLY SCARY HAVING BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND I'M VERY THANKFUL I DID NOT CRASH! THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND RECALLS! AS A LONG TIME GM CUSTOMER, I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE!

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT COMPRESSED! THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE JUNE 2009,THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE RECALLS PREFORMED AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED!!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED BY A EXXON MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME OF ONE OF THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE (ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING). I CONTACTED THE NEAREST GM DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA REQUESTING INFORMATION ON THE RECALL PROCESS. A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE TEAM INFORMED ME OF 3 OPEN RECALLS ON MY CAR. I ASKED HER WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS. SHE SAID THE RECALL PARTS CAN BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I ASKED HER IF REPLACING THE CAR OR BEING REIMBURSEMENT WAS AN OPTION. SHE SAID SHE NEVER HEARD OF THAT. AFTER HER DENYING IF THAT WAS EVEN AN OPTION SHE LATER INFORMED ME THAT GETTING REIMBURSED WAS A LENGTHY PROCESS. I ASKED HER TO POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I WAS GIVEN GENERAL MOTORS RECALL NUMBER. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AFTER EXPLAINING MY STORY TO SEVERAL AGENTS. FINALLY AN AGENT CONTACTED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THAT OCCURRED AROUND 11AM. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM GM OR THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL 3 PM THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE GUY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE CAR WAS THERE FOR. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 24 HOURS WITH KNOW CONTACT INFO OR SERVICE REQUEST. I CALLED [XXX] AT GM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHERE MY CAR WAS. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE SENT TO CRISWELL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I INFORMED HIM IT WAS AT KING BUICK GMC. WE FURTHER DISCUSSED WHAT I WANTED TO COME OUT OF THIS AND I LET HIM KNOW I FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH POWER STEERING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HE REPEATEDLY ASKED IF I WAS SURE I WANTED TO BE DONE WITH THE CAR. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD TRY HIS BEST TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT FIRST I NEEDED TO GIVE PERMISSION TO REPLACE THE RECALL PARTS WHEN WE SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN THE AM. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING REQUESTING A LOANER VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD I CAN NOT GET ONE BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PULLED INTO GROCERY STORE GENTLEMAN CAME OVER TO ME AND SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EITHER MY TAILLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS, THEY DISAPPEAR WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE.

TOOK THE CAR IN AND IT COULDN'T BE WORKED ON THAT NEXT DAY. ANYWAY I DID HAVE SOME RECALLS, AND WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE TOOK TO THE DEALER AND ALL 3 RECALLS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. ONE RECALL I KNOW WAS REGARDING SOMETHING WITH REAR LIGHTING. HAD NO PROBLEMS AND NO COMPLAINTS BEFORE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. ALL I KNOW IS THE TWO GOOD CITIZENS WERE WORRIED ABOUT ME GETTING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND I AM DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALER CAN'T FIT ME IN UNTIL WED. THE JAN 21, AND IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T FIX AND GOT PAID FOR. I TRIED TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND IT APPEARED AFTER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, MY TAIL LIGHT FADED OUT FOR AWHILE AND GRADUALLY CAME BACK ON. SO IT APPEARS I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS. ONE RECALL WAS POWER STEERING AND THAT IS JUST FINE, BUT THE OTHER TWO I DON'T EXACTLY RECALL WHAT THEY WERE. MY MAIN CONCERN, IS I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT ALL 3 RECALLS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , ETC) AND CONTACTED TWO LOCAL DEALERS WHO HAD NOT YET RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO REMEDY THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPDATED 9/8/14*CN UPDATED 1/8/2015 *JS

2013: AUTOMATIC LIGHT OPENING DOOR BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR FEMALES DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS, EVEN WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY OR GOING TO CAR FROM HOME. I ALSO BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TURNING SIGNAL LEVEL. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THE BLINKER OFF AFTER TURNING, OTHERWISE MY BLINKER WOULD STAY ON THE ENTIRE DRIVE. IN MARCH, 2014, THE LEVER COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF, AND I HAVE TO SHOVE IT INTO PLACE BEFORE AND AFTER TURNING TO PROPERLY EXECUTE ANY TURN BECAUSE THE LEVER HANGS AFTER EVERY MOVEMENT. I BEGAN HEARING A "THUMPING" SOUND AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN APPLYING MY BRAKES. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE LINE/PADS/ROTORS OR TIRES; HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD BOTH AREAS OF MY VEHICLE INSPECTED, AND THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE "THUMPING" NOISE CONTINUES MORE FREQUENTLY EVERY TIME. NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE VENT FOR MY DEFROSTER CRACK OFF, CAUSING THE PIECES OF THE VENT TO FALL INTO THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, BUT HASN'T CAUSED ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH MY COOLING/HEATING/DEFROSTING SYSTEM (YET). IN JANUARY, 2014, MY POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND STEERING LOCK UP WHILE IN PARKED POSITION. IN APRIL/MAY, 2014, THE PROBLEM ESCALATED WITHIN WEEKS, AND MY POWER STEERING DISENGAGED WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE BANK PARKING LOT, AND THEN AGAIN PULLING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AT THAT TIME, I CONTACTED GM REGARDING THE PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (YET GM OWNERS MANUAL HAD NOT PLACED IT ONLINE), BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY, POWER STEERING WENT OUT AFTER HITTING A WATER PUDDLE IN THE POURING RAIN. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ME KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT TO DO (PUT ON HAZARDS, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF AND THEN TURN ON VEHICLE), I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

PURCHASED NEW PONTIAC G6 2006 ON JUNE 2, 2007, 72 MILES. JULY 2007, PROBLEMS WITH CRUISE CONTROL. CONTACTED RELIABLE PONTIAC WITH PROBLEM. NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. TOOK IT TO THOMPSON'S PLACERVILLE, ACTED LIKE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK A CRUISE CONTROL. CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH DAVID O'KEEF, PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE (866) 790-5600, EXT 31952, REGARDING LEMON LAW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THOMPSONS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES (THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVOICE FROM THE DEALER): 7/11/07; 8/10/07; 10/05/07; 10/8/07; 10/20/07; 11/16/07; 12/12/07; 4/8/08; 4/23/08 5/14/08; 5/16/08; 5/31/08; 11/11/08; THROUGHOUT 2009 AND 2010; 4/28/11; 9/6/11; 9/14/11; 12/9/11; AND 12/14/11. PULLED OVER BY CHP SEVERAL TIMES FOR BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON, BUT I WAS NOT BRAKING, OFFICER STATED VEHICLE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE ON ROAD. ON 9/6/11, A FRIEND REFERRED ME TO MOTORTREND RECALLS. RECALL DATE FOR AIR BAGS WAS 10/31/2006 AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS 1/30/2009. STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN 2009. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY GM OR RELIABLE PONTIAC. VEHICLE WAS A COSTLY, SAFETY HAZARD THROUGH 12/14/11. STILL HAVE ISSUES. EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO KEEP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. NOW I KNOW WHY I WAS BEING FLIPPED OFF BY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, THEY THOUGHT I WAS "BRAKE" CHECKING THEM. *JS

EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IS SHOT. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO..ONE BY ONE, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR (ELECTRICAL) STOPPED WORKING. SUCH AS.. 1. POWER LOCK FOR THE DOORS DOESN'T WORK 2. TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOESN'T OPEN THE TRUNK 3. CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF EVERY TIME I OPENED THE DOOR (AS THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED) 4. AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING 5. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. 6. BRAKE LIGHTS WOULDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL SOMETIMES. 7. HEADLIGHTS AND/OR TAILLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, OR DIM RANDOMLY 8. PUSH-LOCK BUTTON ON EACH DOOR WOULD GO UP AND DOWN (BY ITSELF) AS I WOULD BE DRIVING, OR WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. (COULDN'T LOCK MY CAR DOORS) BECAUSE OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES, I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE. I ALSO HAD MY CAR REPAIRED A COUPLE TIMES (MECHANIC EVEN CALLED PONTIAC FOR ASSISTANCE). AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED, (IF POSSIBLE), THE LIGHTS WOULD STOP PROPERLY WORKING AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER BEING 'REPAIRED' . EVENTUALLY, I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE FEBRUARY, 2014 (5 MONTHS). I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUOUSLY GET THE CAR FIXED (TO PASS INSPECTION), OR PAY FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS. THEREFORE, I HAVEN'T HAD A CAR TO DRIVE FOR 5 MONTHS. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL (PRIOR TO THE RECALL LETTER IN JUNE 2014) STATING THERE WAS A DEFAULT WITH THE POWER STEERING. I CALLED THE NUMBER TWICE. AT FIRST, I WAS TOLD MY CAR ISSUES WERE NOT RELEVANT TO THE DEFAULT. THE SECOND TIME, (PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS LATER) I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOW OVER THE MILEAGE TO BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY (STATED IN THE LETTER), AND THEREFORE IT VOIDED MY ELIGIBILITY TO HAVE THE REPAIRED BY THEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. BOTH BULBS WERE CHANGED AND FUSES EVALUATED BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COMBINED WITH A STEERING PROBLEM NOTED IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD. *TR

ONCE AGAIN GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6'S FOR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, AND DIFFICULTIES GETTING THE CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS AND SHUT OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY DISENGAGE AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? THE SYMPTOMS I'VE EXPERIENCED ARE IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. BOTH RECALLS TO BE EXACT. THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT I'M NOT COVERED AND THE GM REPS ARE NO HELP. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT.

MY TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND FUSE AND STILL NOTHING. ALSO THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. IT HAD WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. ALSO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THEM FIXED BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS WONDERING WHY? ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS MAKE YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ON MINE. SO HOW IS IT DETERMINED WHICH VINS GET RECALLED. I HAVE KIDS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH IT. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE TAIL LIGHT ISSUE, AND CAN HARDLY DRIVE IT DAILY DUE TO THE POWER STEERING BEING OUT IN THE VEHICLE.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASN'T USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED, I'VE GOTTEN STOPPED BEFORE FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT NIGHT AND ON FWY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER BUT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

SOMETIMES (RANDOMLY) THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT BEING PRESSED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I PRESS THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACTUALLY GO OFF EVEN THOUGH I'M BRAKING. WHEN THIS BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ALSO DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THEN THE SECURITY LOCK ON THE DASH PANEL LIT UP, AS IF I HAD LOCKED AND ACTIVATED THE SECURITY SYSTEM VIA THE KEY FOB. I WAS STILL DRIVING, SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO ACTIVATE THE SECURITY SYSTEM. AS I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE, I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY ACROSS THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I LET IT REST ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS WENT THROUGH THE SAME SEQUENCE. ABS LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AS THEY BOTH READ LOW ON VOLTAGE. TO THIS DAY 2/15/2014, THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING IS TO RUN A DIRECT CABLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. IT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GIVE OFF THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER. THEY CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION SEPARATELY OF EACH OTHER. I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON EDMUNDS.COM WITH NO RESPONSE FROM GM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I INFORMED THEM I'VE HAD MY OWN TRUSTED, LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE OTHER THEN A MASSIVE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I ASKED GM WHAT THEIR RESOLUTION WAS SINCE THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, WAS JUST TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER. NO FURTHER RESPONSE OR POSSIBLE SOLUTION WAS OFFERED FROM GM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON OHIO RTE. 33 (AT 70 MPH) ON 11/27/2013 , MY CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE. I PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT, SHUT OFF MY CAR FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED. CRUISE CONTROL WAS AGAIN OPERATIONAL. GIVEN SUCH AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, I DISMISSED MY CONCERN. HOWEVER, ON 12/16/2013, I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON I-70 (AGAIN AT 70 MPH) AND MY CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN DISENGAGED. I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO KEEP MY SPEED UP. THE THREE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME, INCLUDING ONE TRACTOR-TRAILER AND A VEHICLE OPERATED BY ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, NOTICEABLY SLOWED DOWN TO ADD FOLLOWING DISTANCE. MY CELL PHONE RANG, AND MY PASSENGER ANSWERED AND PUT THE CALL ON SPEAKERPHONE. MY FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ASKED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND INDICATED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON, ALTHOUGH NO PRESSURE WAS BEING APPLIED. APPARENTLY, THIS IS THE REASON THAT THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE SLOWING DOWN - THEY THOUGHT I WAS SLOWING DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT! I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT TO AGAIN SHUT OFF AND RESTART MY CAR. MY PASSENGER CLAIMED THAT SOMETHING SMELLED HOT (POSSIBLY BRAKES), ALTHOUGH I CANNOT OFFER VERIFICATION OF THIS. AFTER RESTARTING AND RE-ENTERING I-70, CRUISE CONTROL WORKED AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPORTED BY FOLLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS TO WORK PROPERLY. *TR

SOMETIMES I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE DRIVING AND I BEGIN TO ACTUALLY BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AND IT SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY PEOPLE FOLLOWING MY VEHICLE THAT THIS IS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON WITHOUT ME HITTING THE PEDAL.

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES FOR MY EXACT YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL ...BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE WEB SITES FROM OTHER 2006 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND THEIR CAR IS ALSO NOT COVERED BECAUSE THEIR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WELL, EVIDENTLY, IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WHAT THEY FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS. IT IS NOT JUST ONE ASSEMBLY PLANT OR ONE BATCH OF PARTS THAT WAS FAULTY. IF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS COMING UP ON THE EXACT SAME YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL...THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE AND ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE READ THAT SOME OWNERS THAT BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN FOR REPAIR, WHETHER COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OR NOT, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CARS ARE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE DRIVER. PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE SURE THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. I HOPE GM OR NHTSA DOESN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE IS ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I REALLY HOPE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THERE COULDN'T BE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WITH SO MUCH FREEWAY STOP & GO. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS PONTIAC G6 IN 2008 USED. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD STOP WORKING. AT THE TIME I WAS UNAWARE THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. I REALIZED THIS MALFUNCTION AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY A RANDOM PERSON DRIVING BEHIND ME ON THE ROAD. SHE NOTIFIED ME THAT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE MY LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AND WHEN I WAS NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY WERE ILLUMINATING. A COMPLETE REVERSAL. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I REALIZED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED. WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP I WAS NOTIFIED THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, IT WAS A GTP AND WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. EVENTUALLY THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED TO PERFORM THE RECALL PROCEDURES WHICH ONLY TEMPORARILY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT ORIGINAL FIX, I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE MODULE CHANGED THREE OR FOUR TIMES, TAKEN TO TWO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND ALSO TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. NO ONE CAN GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. I AM NOW TOLD THERE IS A CHANCE IT IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I AM SO TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY TO CORRECT A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ON GUARANTEE OF A FIX. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/10/13*LJ

THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS IN JULY 2009 AT WHICH TIME MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK ALL THE TIME AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT WAS ON, IT WOULD DIS-ENGAGE ITSELF. I TOOK THIS IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY APPLIED DIELECTRIC CREASE TO A CONNECTOR. THE CRUISE THEN WORKED WELL AGAIN FOR SOME TIME. INTERMITTENTLY I WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. THEN IN MAY 2011, MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK, BUT THIS RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. EVENTUALLY, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO ON BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING WITH NO ONE IN IT, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. MY CRUISE CONTROL THEN WORKED AGAIN FOR AWHILE. THEN IN JUNE 2012, MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AGAIN. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS NOT BEEN WORKING (USUALLY IT WILL NOT ENGAGE AND WHEN IT DOES, WILL DIS-ENGAGE ITSELF AFTER A FEW SECONDS). I ALSO RECENTLY DISCOVERED (WHEN A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME) THAT WHILE DRIVING AND NOT PRESSING ON MY BRAKES, MY EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE ON. HOWEVER, WHEN I ACTUALLY PRESS ON MY BRAKES TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. *TR

RECALL NO. 80317 TO ADD DIELECTRIC GREASE IS NOT WORKING!!!! THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!! *TR

BRAKES ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON BRAKE PEDAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN FOOT IS APPLIED AT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! IF NEEDED TO APPLY BRAKES IN A FAST MANNER A FOLLOWING CAR COULD REAR-END THE PONTIAC G6. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. SO WHY HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE TO MAKE PONTIAC RECALL THE BRAKE SENSOR RELAY BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENTS? THE "RECALL" TO ADD DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO THE CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION IS NOT WORKING!!!!! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN MY BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE DIELECTRIC GREASE PUT ON THE CONNECTOR. I REALLY HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN PUSH THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ILLUMINATED WHILE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. PONTIAC RECALLED THE FIRST 93 MANUFACTURED PONTIAC G6'S FOR 2006 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM???????? EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS RECALL FOR 2006 PONTIAC G6 RECALL ANNOUNCED: JANUARY 30 2009NHTSA REFERENCE: #09V036000NUMBER AFFECTED: 8,012SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. FIX: DEALERS WILL APPLY A DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO THE CONNECTOR TO PREVENT CORROSION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009. *TR

I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR MODEL MY CAR IS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING (RECALL #80317 SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.) AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SEND ME ON MY MERRY WAY WITH NO HELP OR OTHER SOLUTIONS BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND I'M TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE THING AND THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. MINE IS THE 2006 2 DOOR GT I'M NOT SURE WHICH MODELS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL BUT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS WELL. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED HAS BEEN A GM AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS ONE AND IT HAS REALLY PUT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. IF I COULD GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW I WOULD. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO BE INOPERABLE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR REAR END ACCIDENTS. STOPPED BY THE POLICE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALSO THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT GM HAS IN THE 2005-06 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHT RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER RECALL 2 TIMES NOW. THE FIX LASTS APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS, THEN THE EXACT SAME, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BRAKE LIGHT AND CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE RETURNS. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AT RANDOM ALSO. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY NERVE RACKING SITUATIONS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES IN TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING UP A HILL. GM'S FIX OF APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR IS A BAND AID TYPE FIX AND IS NOT A REMEDY FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL ISSUE. THE NEWER MODEL G6 VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT GM SAW A NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN HOUSE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR 4 YEARS AT MINIMUM. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 89K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE NEW. I KEEP THE CAR IN IMMACULATE MECHANICAL CONDITION.

I PREVIOUSLY LEASED A 2005 PONTIAC G6, AND LOVED THE CAR VERY MUCH. THROUGH MY LEASE, I JUST HAD ONE ISSUE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. SINCE THE RETURN OF THAT LEASE, I PURCHASED A 2006 G6 BECAUSE I REALLY ENJOYED THE CAR. HOWEVER, I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AS WELL. THE ISSUE IS REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DANGER OCCURS WHEN FELLOW DRIVERS ARE UNAWARE IF THE BRAKES ARE TRULY BEING PRESSED. WITH THE 2005, THIS PROBLEM PROGRESSED WHERE I ACTUALLY PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ACTUALLY GO OFF, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I ASSUME THAT SINCE I HAVE OWNED TWO CARS, AND BOTH HAVE NOW HAD THIS PROBLEM, THAT IT IS A WIDE-SPREAD ISSUE. SO, I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH, AND FOUND THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CASE. I FOUND INFORMATION REGARDING A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEBSITES, NOTING THAT THE RECALL BEGAN IN FEBRUARY OF 2009, AND ALSO PROVIDED INFORMATION TO CALL PONTIAC ABOUT IT. UPON CALLING THIS NUMBER, THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOUND REGARDING MY CAR. I FOUND IT TROUBLESOME THAT I FOUND RECALLS IN RESEARCH, BUT NOTHING WAS ISSUED THROUGH PONTIAC, SO I E-MAILED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE ON 08/05/09. THEY RESPONDED WITH A PHONE CALL TO INFORM ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. SINCE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE FOR A RECALL; HOWEVER THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE ISSUED AS OF YET, SO I AM HOPING THIS INFORMATION MIGHT HELP. SOME OF THE RECALL INFORMATION THAT I FOUND WAS AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: HTTP://WWW.INTERNETAUTOGUIDE.COM/AUTO-RECALLS/09-INT/2006/PONTIAC/G6/INDEX.HTML (RECALL ID# 69074) HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/RECALLS/RESULTS.CFM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000). *TR

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 IN SEPT. 2007. 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY. THEY WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN AT LEAST 9 TIMES AND THE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AND I'M WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WILL REAR-END US WHILE MY SON AND DAUGHTER ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE'VE CONTACTED GM TWICE NOW AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE. THEY REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER G6 OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL, WHICH THEY APPLIED A LUBRICANT TO THE WIRING; THIS HAS NOT EVEN BEGAN TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. TO ME THIS WAS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE RECALL THAT COULD BE ISSUED AND WAS ACCEPTED FOR SOME REASON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR GM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR PRODUCT THEY PRODUCED? IT'S A NO WONDER WHY MORE CONSUMERS PURCHASE FOREIGN CARS OVER OUR OWN. WE DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SON RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THIS CAR. THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MY FAMILY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. *TR

THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WILL DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING AT ROADWAY SPEEDS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND REMAIN ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS WET AND/OR RAINING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY PONTIAC MOTOR COMPANY AND MY DEALER THAT NO RECALLS ARE OUTSTANDING AT THIS TIME ON MY VIN NUMBER. MY AUTO HAD ABOUT 46000 MILES WHEN THE CONDITION WAS FIRST NOTICED. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2009. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN 60,000 ON IT. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. THE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, AT WHICH TIME THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON EVERY 5-6 SECONDS, AT WHICH TIME I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO "RESET" THEM. THIS PROBLEM -- THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT BRAKE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO DO -- HAS NEARLY CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS. ON OCT. 19, 2009, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SWAY BAR AND TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T. I THEN WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES -- FRONT AND REAR-- NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON OCT. 29, 2009, I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES BUT NOT THE REAR -- MY BRAKE MECHANIC SAID THE REAR BRAKES HAD AT LEAST 20,000 MILES LEFT ON THEM. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS FIXED THE PROBLEM (AND NONE OF THE OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE). THIS DID NOT SURPRISE ME, AS NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING. HAVING DONE SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A GM RECALL FOR MY VERY PROBLEM (RECALL # 09V036000). THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEB. 17, 2009. I CALLED PONTIAC ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD BY CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I ASKED WHETHER IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT ANOTHER PONTIAC G6, NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE RECALLED. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THE ARROGANCE OF PONTIAC HAS BAFFLED AND UPSET ME, AND I AM TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE CONTACTED LEGAL COUNSEL. IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I COULD BE AT FAULT AND I CAN'T AFFORD A LAWSUIT. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY PAID $190.00 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONE TIME AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES, THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THEY WILL HAVE TO TALK TO UPPER MANAGEMENT AND CALL ME BACK. I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM ANY MANAGEMENT.

IN NOVEMBER 2007 MY WIFE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH HER BRAKE LIGHTS ON HER 2006 G6. SHE WAS STOPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES BY THE LOCAL POLICE DUE TO HER BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON CONSTANTLY. ON 12/6/2007 WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND PAID $106.94 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY R&R'D A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG SINCE THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH A SECOND TIME. WE'VE CONTINUED TO HAVE SUFFER THROUGH THE PROBLEM UNTIL A CO-WORKER OF MY WIFE'S STATED THAT HIS WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A GM PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL ON G6'S FOR THAT PROBLEM. TODAY WE TOOK OUR CAR TO A GM DEALER AND WAS REFUSED SERVICE BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER DOESN'T FALL BETWEEN 64100001 AND 64100093. WE'VE EXPERIENCED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE MEMO AND SHE'S EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD (ALMOST BEING HIT FROM THE REAR BECAUSE DRIVERS FOLLOWING HER CAN'T TELL WHEN SHE'S BRAKING) WHEN TRAVELING BECAUSE THIS CONDITION EXIST. WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING HELP IN GETTING THIS SITUATION RESOLVED (GETTING OUR CAR FIXED). WE'VE BEEN LOYAL GM CUSTOMERS UP TO NOW, (WE ALSO OWN A BONNEVILLE AND A CHEVY VAN) BUT WITH SERVICE SUCH AS THIS THAT SITUATION IS LIKELY TO CHANGE. *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS THE BRAKE LAMPS HAVE BEEN STAYING ON AT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND ON WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. BEGINNING ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED AL THE TIME. ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED FOR TWO DAYS ONLY. PRESENTLY THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED AS SOON AS THE CAR IS STARTED AND REMAINS ON. CALLED PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOSS OF POWER IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THIS BEGAN JUST AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS. THE POWER STEERING WOULD LOSS POWER RANDOMLY. APPROXIMATELY TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT. BY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE POWER TO THE STEERING WOULD ALMOST ALWAYS RETURN. A FEW TIMES THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THIS THEN SHUTS OFF MY CRUISE.

SHOWS THERE IS A RECALL BUT DEALER SAID MINE ISN'T ON IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND??? I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE. IS THIS CORRECT OR CAN I GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LAMPS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT GEARS INTO THE PARK POSITION. BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY COULD FAIL TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD ALSO LEAD TO A CRASH. SHE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # 09V036000, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, BRAKE LIGHTS; HOWEVER, THEY CONFIRMED THAT HER VIN WAS EXCLUDED AND INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 G6. OUR EXTERIOR LIGHT SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK, THE CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK. WE HAD TO REPLACE AT OUR OWN EXPENSE THE BRAKE ROTORS DUE TO INFERIOR QUALITY. WE WERE HAVING THE VIBRATION ISSUE SOME MENTIONED. MY WIFE COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK ONE DAY, WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE GOT THE SAME STORY ABOUT THE RECALL ABOUT NOT BEING COVERED BY THE RECALL AND HAVING TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AT OUR EXPENSE. LAST YEAR OUR BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AND WE REAR ENDED A MINIVAN. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. BUT OUR INSURANCE IS GOING UP. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL OUR LEASE IS UP IN FEB 2010. WE WILL TRADE THIS THING IN AND GET A DEPENDABLE FOREIGN VEHICLE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, SUMMER 2008. I WAS PULLED OVER THREE TIMES BY HIGHWAY PATROL AND ASKED WHY I WAS RIDING MY BRAKES. I WASN'T. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WENT OFF WHEN I MASHED THE BRAKES, FLICKERED BACK ON WHILE IDLING, THEN STAYED ON WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. I HAD IT FIXED THEN UNDER WARRANTY. A YEAR LATER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I WAS TOLD BY THE PONTIAC DEALER SERVICE MANAGER IT WOULD COST ALMOST $900 TO REPLACE THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) PLUS LABOR. OR I SHOULD BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, DRIVE THE CAR 30 DAYS, AND THEN HAVE IT FIXED. ON TOP OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES OF FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS, I'M ALSO NOT AS FOCUSED ON WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I'M ALSO EXTRA WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND ME. *TR

PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V036000. ON 2/17/09, GM RECALLED 8,012 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES, BECAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY DUE TO 0 CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, BRAKE LAMPS FAILING TO ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE AND GREATER THAN NORMAL BRAKE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, VIN [XXX] . HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I CONTACTED GM'S OWNER CENTER TO TRY AND GET MY VEHICLE COVERED. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE (TED) ADVISED ME THAT I MUST FIRST HAVE THE PONTIAC (GM) DEALER PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT MY EXPENSE, AND THAT, DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, GM MAY OR MAY NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. SINCE THIS IS A DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE, I FIND GM'S RESPONSE TO BE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I AM THEREFORE REQUESTING THAT NHTSA REQUIRE GM TO COVER THE COST OF NEEDED REPAIRS FOR ANY GM VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. AS NOTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE, "BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING". THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT GM WOULD NOT REPAIR, AT THEIR EXPENSE, ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON CONSTANTLY AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACE A BRAKE SWITCH. TWO DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. I WAS TOLD THE SWITCH THAT WAS INSTALLED WAS BAD AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH WITH ANOTHER SWITCH. THE NEXT MORNING THE PROBLEM WAS BACK AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WITH BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ON. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, MANY OF WHICH HAVE NOT YET HAD THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS ARE REVERSED. WHEN I'M DRIVING, THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ON AND WHEN I STOPPED THEY TURN OFF. IT SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT THING THAT MY DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX TWICE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR A 3RD TIME. *TR

GRINDING NOISE WHEN CHANGING GEARS ON 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. CLICKING OR POPPING NOISES FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF OF GAS. TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY POOR FEEL GENERALLY AND GENERALLY FEELS DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. GRINDING IS MORE APPARENT WITH LOW SPEED SHIFTS OR WHEN TURNING. THE SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT THE FOG LIGHT BUTTON AND THE SEAT HEATER SWITCH GET NOTICEABLY HOT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE THIRD COMPLAINT IS THAT THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON WHEN YOU PUT THE LIGHTS ON MANUALLY DURING THE DAY. *NM
