2008 PONTIAC G6 Service Brakes Problems

Unknown - vehicle is jist malfunctioning

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while her fiancé’ was driving behind her, he notified her that her rear driver’s and passenger’s side brake lights remained illuminated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the rear passenger’s and driver’s side brake light bulbs were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact then received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number 14V252000 (Electrical system, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electrical Stability Control). Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

MY TRACTION CONTROL WILL GO OFF AND LIGHT UP ON THE DASH. MY BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON MIST OF THE TIME.

Mileage: 138,000

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS WAS A RECALL DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IN 2019 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2011, AND IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BY MECHANICS OTHER THAN THE RECALL. THE MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. YESTERDAY, THE PROBLEM RETURNED (IF IT HAD EVER GONE AWAY TO BEGIN WITH.) THE MECHANICS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THE BEST I HAVE EVER GOTTEN IS ABOUT 8 MONTHS WITHOUT NOTICING ANY ISSUES. WHEN YOU BUY A CAR--NEW OR USED--YOU EXPECT THE BREAK LIGHTS TO WORK AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. NOBODY BUYS A CAR EXPECTING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF NOT KNOWING WHETHER YOUR CAR IS ACTUALLY ALERTING DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE STOPPING WHEN YOU ARE IN BUSY TRAFFIC.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS WAS A RECALL DONE IN 2014 BUT IN 2019 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. THIS ISSUE IS ALSO CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT TO COME ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR'S BRAKES ILLUMINATE AUTOMATICALLY. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAYS BOTH. THEREFORE CAUSING ANY VEHICHLES BEHIND ME TO THINK I AM NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE 2009 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY FIXED IT . WELL IAN STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR . AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT . THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

THE BRAKE SENSOR GOES OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. A RECALL SAYS THAT THE BCM CAUSES FLUCTUATIONS TO THE BRAKE SENSOR ,IN TURN CAUSES THE LIGHTS NOT TO WORK. WHEN I HAD THE RECAL DONE FOR THE BCM, THE BRAKE SENSOR ALSO NEEDED WORK. THE RESULT IS 200 BUCKS WORTH OF WORK DONE THAT WASN'T RECALL COVERED. THE RECAL EVEN STATES THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE BCM PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN THIS ISSUE. ALSO INCLUDE THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTTING OFF, THAT WAS ANOTHER 200 SPENT FOR THAT. TAKE A GOOD GUESS WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF THAT ISSUE. SPOILER ALERT IT WAS THE BCM!!

I AM SO AGGRAVATED WITH THE PONTIAC COMPANY, I FILED A RECENT COMPLAINT OVER THE PHONE. THE BODY CONTROL MODULAR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED BUT BECAUSE MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2014 RECALL THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO IS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON US BECAUSE THE CAR HAS AFTER MARKET ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH WE DID NOT ADDTO THE CAR, WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TOYOTA ON NICHOLASVILLE SUPERSTORE THAT STUFF WAS ADDED ALREADY BY SOMEONE ELSE, AND IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WHY IS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON//OFF PROBLEM JUST NOW SHOWING UP SINCE IT WAS A YEAR THIS PAST MAY THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I THINK THAT THE PONTIAC COMPANY JUST DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAMGUNG PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE AND I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

Mileage: 76,000

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ABOUT 114000 MILES ON IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON BUT NO INDICATION AS TO WHY IT IS ON. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ACCORDING TO REPORTS. I HAD SERVICE COMPLETE THE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE CAR. I ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ONLY TO TAKE IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER ALSO. THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME, I EXPERIENCED VIBRATING IN MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING. AT THAT TIME NO ABS LIGHT CAME ON OR TC CONTROL LIGHTS, HOWEVER WHEN HUBBY WAS GETTING READY TO TEST DRIVE IT, THE ABS LIGHT AND BOTH TC LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAVE STAYED ON. BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AT THE MOMENT, I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND CHECKED FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS (BECAUSE I READ ABOUT ONE ON THIS ISSUE SOMEWHERE THE OTHER DAY WHEN SEARCHING) BUT THEY ASSURED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SUCH AN ISSUE WITH MY VIN. THE CAR CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. MY NEXT STEP I GUESS IS TO TAKE IT TO ADVANCE AUTO FOR A SCAN AND SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWS UP :( I DO A LOT OF TRAVELLING SO I NEED A DEPENDABLE/RELIABLE/SAFE VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I DON'T LOVE ALL THE BRAKE ISSUES AND NOT KNOWING WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE PUT NEARLY $1000 INTO MY CAR IN JUST A MATTER OF MONTHS DUE TO BREAKS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM.

Mileage: 123,000

TAIL LIGHT RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED IN 2013 - CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. TAIL LIGHTS COME ON WHEN DRIVING AN GO OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI LAST NIGHT AS THE BRAKE LAMPS WERE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. DEALER CLOSED OUT THE CASE AS REPAIRED - GM RECALL LINE WILL DO NOTHING AND WANT ME TO PAY $120 AN HOUR TO HAVE THE CAR PUT ONTO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE - I REFUSE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR ANYMORE EXPENSES - I'VE PAID OVER $500 ALREADY BEFORE RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO 2008 MODELS. I WORK AT A GM POWERTRAIN PLANT, THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS UNACCEPTABLE TO MY STANDARDS OF WHAT MANAGEMENT TELLS US QUALITY IS TO GM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER THEIR FIX WAS A JUMP HARNESS AND RE-GREASING OF THE BCM - THAT IS NOT THE FIX THE REAL ISSUE IS THE BCM'S ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED MY GM REFERENCE ID FOR THIS ISSUE IS 8-2214129861. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT WITH NO WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS. ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE IDLING, CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH SCROLLING ON CAR SCREEN TO SERVICE TRACTION SERVICE ESC. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES AND ALL TRACTION STABILITY OF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.. PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO GOES.

WHEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THEN IT STARTED UP AND THAT HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SO FAR IT'S LIKE IT WANT START UNLESS I TURN THE IGNITION AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL FOR A DRIVE AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE DOING THAT AND WITH MY BRAKES I GOT NEW BRAKES ON MY CAR FOR FRONT AND BACK AND IT'S LIKE I NEVER PUT BRAKES ON BECAUSE IT'S STILL MAKE NOISE LIKE I NEED BRAKES AND THAT'S CRAZY AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT BE MOVING WHEN IT'S IN PARK.

Mileage: 97,500

I NOTICE THAT ON SOME OF THE 2008 PONT. G6 BREAK LIGHTS DON'T COME ON SOME TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE CARS ALMOST HIT MY CAR BUT I CHECKED MY BREAK LIGHTS AND THEY WORKED .

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE EITHER ALWAYS ON, CAUSING TRACTION CONTROL TO FAIL, OR THEY ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AND OFF WHEN BRAKING. THIS ALSO CAUSES CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK. ANYONE DRIVING BEHIND ME CAN NOT TELL WHEN I AM BRAKING. SOME 2008 G6 MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2008 G6 HAS THIS PROBLEM AND WAS NOT RECALLED.

Mileage: 100,000

I TOOK MY PONTIAC G6 INTO FREEMAN BUICK GMC IN GRAPEVINE TX TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY PERFORMED THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR THE EXISTING POWER STEERING FAILURE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK NOW. YESTERDAY AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET IN GRAPEVINE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS SUDDENLY LOST (THE CONSOLE IMMEDIATELY SHOWED THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" ON THE CONSOLE AND THE BEEPER SOUNDED). I ALMOST WRECKED THE CAR. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL MAINTENANCE I STILL EXPERIENCED LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CALLED FREEMAN AND ASKED THEM TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE VISIT FOR MY CAR TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW.

Mileage: 126,700

WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER DAYS AND THE CAR IS DRIVEN OVER PUDDLES OF WATER ON THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND CAN NOT CONTINUE UNLESS I TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN ON.

MY WIFE, MY CHILD, AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY WIFE'S 2008 PONTIAC G6 STOPPED WORKING WHILE ROUNDING A SHARP CORNER GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN JUST A FEW MILES FROM MY HOME. THE CAR SLID SIDEWAYS TO THE LEFT MID TURN AND LEFT US COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS ACROSS BOTH LANES. I WAS IN A PANIC AS IT HAPPENED SO FAST, BEFORE I COULD REACT A LARGE TRUCK ROUNDED THE CORNER COMING UP THE HILL, HE QUICKLY HIT HIS BREAK AND VEERED TOWARD THE DITCH, LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO STOP ABOUT 3 FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF OUR CAR. HIS PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE WENT OFF THE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP BEFORE HITTING US. AFTER TAKING A DEEP BREATH AND PRAISING THE LORD FOR SPARING OUR LIVES I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, THEN IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON AND NOTICED THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING HAD TURNED OFF. AFTER QUICKLY CHECKING WITH THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS ALRIGHT, WE PROCEEDED HOME IN THE DEATH TRAP WE CALL OUR VEHICLE. IT WAS THE SINGLE MOST SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. ONE MONTH PRIOR (IN JULY) I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (RECALL 13036) FROM GENERAL MOTORS THAT STATES THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE SOLUTION. THEY CLAIM THE STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL, PANIC BRAKING, AND PARK SHIFTER MAY DISABLE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN PEDAL IS PUSHED AND WILL STAY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT IN USE CREATING AN EXTREME RISK FOR A REAR COLLISION. AGAIN THEY STATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION FOR US WHILE WE WAIT FOR THEM TO GET PARTS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN LATE JULY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT THING THE RECALL STATES. AGAIN, OFFERING NO SOLUTION OR EVEN A RENTAL CAR FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-480, IN THE STATE OF OHIO, THE BRAKES ON MY G6 WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED UNTIL I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND A MAN WHO WAS TRAVELING BEHIND ME TOLD ME WHAT HE OBSERVED. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON AS I DROVE; AND NOT ON WHILE BRAKING (EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF HOW BRAKE LAMPS SHOULD OPERATE). I WENT HOME, TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN, AND THEY DID EXACTLY AS HE SAID. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON. I REPEATED THE SAME ACTION 3 TIMES AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN TO WORK PROPERLY. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM DATED JULY 2014 APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO. THE HEADING OF THE LETTER STATES, "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL." UPON RECEIPT OF THE LETTER, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL 13036. ALTHOUGH THE LETTER PLAINLY STATES THAT MY CAR IS RECALLED, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED I MUST WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD THE INFORMATION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD NOT BEEN AN ISSUE AT THE TIME, AND I WAS WILLING TO WAIT. HOWEVER, I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGING, AND I TURNED IT OFF, AND DID NOT USE IT AGAIN, AS I FOUND THAT TO BE AN EASILY REMEDIED PATCH. THE RECALL INCLUDES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, WHICH AFFECTS BOTH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MY BRAKES. I CALLED GM TODAY AND THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR TO USE TODAY UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. UPON RETURNING HOME, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP ADVISING GM MAY NOT PAY FOR THE RENTAL. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY TWO CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN RUN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK WHILE TRAVELING ON THIS BUSY FREEWAY. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND I HOPE NO LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A PROBLEM CREATED BY GM. UPDATED 4/24/15 *JS

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO REASON AND SPEED CONTROL CEASES TO FUNCTION. WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, THEREBY NOT FUNCTIONING WHEN THEY SHOULD. IN ADDITION, IF THE BRAKE IS PRESSED SLIGHTLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FUNCTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AND IT WORKED FOR ONLY ONE WEEK. DI-ELECTRIC GREASE WAS APPLIED TO THE COMPUTER HARNESS PINS AND THAT ALSO WORKED FOR BUT A SHORT TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED (I.E. WHILE BOTH PARKED AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD). THIS DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, WHICH ARE CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED, THEN TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED (UNDER LIGHT TO NORMAL BRAKING). THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO ILLUMINATE AGAIN IF YOU CONTINUE TO APPLY INCREASED PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL, HOWEVER NOT UNTIL CONSIDERABLY HEAVY BRAKING CONDITIONS EXIST (NEARLY ACTIVATING THE ABS). UNDER MOST BRAKING SITUATIONS (I.E. APPLYING MODERATE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES) THIS MALFUNCTION EFFECTIVELY CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO WORK THE OPPOSITE OF HOW THEIR INDENTED. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PUSHED, BUT GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, JUST THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. FOLLOWING VEHICLES CANNOT BE SIGNALED WHEN SLOWING DOWN CREATING DANGER OF A REAR END COLLISION. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT CAN TELL IT IS HAPPENING WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. *TR

I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT OUT WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES. I DID FIND ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME I COULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY COULD CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR AND THEN IF A RECALL SHOWS UP ON MY VEHICLE FOR THAT, THEN I COULD TRY TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM.

I HIT A POT HOLE WHILE DRIVING IN HARVEY IL. ONE OF MANY BECAUSE THE CITY NEVER PATCHES THEM. BUT ON THIS DAYI WAS GOING SOUTH BOUND ON VINCENNES TOWARD THE 159ST. INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO DRIVE SLOWLY THROUGH WHAT LOOKED LIKE STANDING WATER AND ENDED UP BEING A MINI SINK HOLE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SCANNED IT ANDNOTHING CAME UP. SO HE SAID IT WASBEAST TO TAKEIT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PROBABLY A COMPUTER ISSUE. I DROVE IT THAT DAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT. THEN 2 DAYS LATER I HIT A SMALL BUMP 10 MILES PER HOUR OVER SMOOTH TRACKS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW IT COMES ON ONLY IF I HAVE A QT TANK OF GAS OR LOWER AND I HIT A BUMP. OR IF IM STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON GOING UPWARD ON A HILL IT WILL DO IT.. I TOOK IT TO TOM KELLEY BUICK IN FORT WANYE. THEY FIXED A STABILIZER LINK ONE OF MANY RECALLS AND AN ALIGNMENT. I GOT IT BACK AND AS SOON AS I WANT OVER A SMALL BUMP AT 15THE LIGHT CAME ON.THE DEALER TOLD ME AFTER I GAVE HIM 400 DOLLARS ALMOST THAT HE FIXED THAT STUFF AND IT NEVER ACTED UP. SO THE DIDN'T ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. I TRY TO BY PONTIAC OR AT LEAST GM AND MY LAST 2 PONTIACS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN RUINED AND TURNED INTO MONEY PITS FOR PROBLEMS NOBODY CAN FIND. IM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND CAN U PLEASE CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SYSTEM BECAUSEYOUR TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND YOUR RIDICULOUS ADJUSTABLE PEDAL IS CAUSING Y SENSOR TO READ WRONG.WILL U CHECK IT.

THE CAR'S BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RANDOMLY ACTIVATES AND CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TO TURN OFF. IF YOU TAP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE SWITCH MAY WORK CORRECTLY FOR A FEW SECONDS OR HOURS UNTIL IT FAILS AGAIN. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME WILL NOT SEE MY BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATE WHEN I TRY TO STOP MY CAR BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALREADY ILLUMINATED BEFORE I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THUS, IT IS LIKELY I WILL GET REAR-ENDED OR AT LEAST CURSED BY THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS FOLLOWING ME. THIS IS ALSO A NUISANCE BECAUSE I CANNOT USE MY CRUISE CONTROL ON MANY OCCASIONS AND IT PREMATURELY WEARS OUT MY BRAKE LAMPS. *TR

THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES IN DECEMBER 2011. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS NOW APPROXIMATELY 73,000 MILES. APPLYING DIALECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONTACTS OF THE BCM SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. AFTER WHICH, THE PROBLEM RESUMES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE I AM DRIVING AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T MIND PERIODICALLY GREASING THE BCM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT THERE IS NO FEEDBACK FROM THE COMPUTER ALERTING ME THAT MY BRAKES LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST, AND EACH TIME IT WAS DISCOVERED BY A FRIEND FOLLOWING BEHIND IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON CONTINUOUSLY, AND OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY; I WAS DRIVING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE AND WATCHED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, TO FULL-ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. THIS SAME VEHICLE IS ALSO EXHIBITING INTERMITTENT "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" ISSUES - I AM UNAWARE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE BRAKE LIGHT / BODY CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T TURN ON WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. THEY AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE THE CRUISE CONTROL CANNOT BE SET.

I PAID $113.14 AT PETE BAUR AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK AT 75,000 MILE (ONLY 20K MILES LATER). THE CAR IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE BRAKE PETAL IS PUSHED. THEN THEY TURN OFF. WHAT A MESSED UP WAY FOR A SAFETY SYSTEM LIKE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. I ALSO HAD TO REMOVE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FUSE BECAUSE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND THE THE CAR WOULD BE ELECTRICALLY DEAD WHEN I WOULD GO TO START IT. THE BATTERY WAS NOT DRAINED AT ALL. IT WOULD JUST BE DEAD UNTIL I GAVE IT A GOOD JUMP. AND ANOTHER THING THE KEY FOBS ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP. THEY BARLEY WORK ANYMORE. WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK THIS CAR IS. OH, ALSO THE SEVICE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON RANDOMLY. I CAN'T BELEIVE NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET. IF I COULD AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR I WOULD.

HELLO, I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6. STARTING IN AUGUST IS WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON WHEN IM NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE STOP ME & ASK ME IF I AM RIDING MY BRAKES AT ALL BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I ACTUALLY HAD SOMEONE TELL ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON & THEN WHEN I CAME TO THE REDLIGHT THEY WENT OFF WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED. MY CRUISE CONTROL ISN'T WORKING EITHER. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO I BOUGHT MY CAR OFF OF & HE SAID HE ALSO HAS 4 OTHER G6S THAT RANGE FROM 2007-2008 THAT ARE DOING THIS SAME THING & HE IS UNSURE HOW TO FIX IT. I CALLED OTHER DEALERS & THEY SAID THAT IF THE DEALERSHIP WHO I BOUGHT THE CARE OFF OF DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT THEN I NEED TO CONTACT GM. I CALLED GM TODAY & THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERS AROUND ME & THERE IS ONLY 1 GM DEALER & THAT IS WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR OFF OF & HE SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THEM. I HAVE A 20 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN MY CAR EVERYDAY & SAFETY IS THE NUMBER 1 THING. I SAW THERE WERE RECALLS IN 2005-2007 BUT NOTHING IN 2008 ON BRAKES. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE THERE ARE 4 OTHER CARS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. I BOUGHT MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAD GOOD REVIEWS FOR SAFETY REGULATIONS. PLEASE HELP OR GIVE ANY ADVICE IF YOU CAN. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I'D NOTICED THIS BEFORE BUT THOUGHT LITTLE OF IT UNTIL SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PULL UP BESIDE ME AND INFORM ME STATING, "HEY, YOU KNOW YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING. ITS LIKE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THEY'RE ON BUT WHEN YOU BRAKE, THEY TURN OFF, IT'S KINDA WEIRD." ONCE GETTING TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD ONE OF MY FRIENDS TRAIL BEHIND ME AND OBSERVE THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS INDEED TRUE. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION.

DRIVERS BEHIND THE EFFECTED VEHICLE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY STOPPING BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED A MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

I BOUGHT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. FOR THE FIRST 30,000 MILES I HAD ZERO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS. THE FIRST WAS THE STEERING COLUMN, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ITSELF. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND SO I PULLED OVER AND USED MY CELL TO RECORD THE MOVEMENT IT WAS MAKING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A COMPUTER MODULE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.( AFTER SHOWING THE VIDEO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THREATENING TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NEWS NETWORK) SOON AFTER THE POPPING BEGAN IN THE COLUMN WHILE TURNING. THE MODULE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE "LUBE KIT" FOR THE POPPING IN THE COLUMN HAD TO BE OUT OF MY WALLET TO FIX. ( OH HOW I LOVE THE ASS HATS AT GM ). STILL HAVE POPPING WHEN TURNING. THEN CAME THE RANDOMNESS TO THE HEADLIGHTS WORKING. ( OR NOT WORKING ) REPLACED BULBS IN LOW BEAM ( BOTH SIDES ) SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOTICED CORROSION IN CONNECTORS. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THE LIGHTS BEING ON CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK OR SHUT OFF WHEN LIGHTS ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER CALIPER IS STICKING AND EATING PADS, IM ON CALIPER NUMBER 3 AS OF TODAY WITH COUNTLESS PADS AND ZERO HELP FROM GM WITHOUT HAVING TO FORK OVER LOTS OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR (THAT OBVIOUSLY BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS) WAS HORRIBLY BUILT.

STARTING IN 09 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I'VE HAD PROBLEMS AND STILL TO THE CURRENT DATE (2/26/2013) I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH RESULT IN NEW BRAKES AND TIRES, WHICH AREN'T CHEAP FOR THIS CAR! I RECENTLY WENT IN TODAY TO GET MY CAT CONVERTER REPLACED BECAUSE THE SENSOR WAS MELTING OH AND AGAIN THEY TELL ME I NEED NEW BRAKES(SHOCKER)-THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NONE THE LESS. I'VE SPENT ABOUT 7 GRAND IN REPAIRS ALL FOR THE CAR TO JUST BE "OK" TO DRIVE FOR THE TIME BEING. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED BECAUSE IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK! I HAVE SAVED ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S ASTRONOMICAL HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO BRING IT IN, LET'S JUST SAY THE "GUYS AT THE SHOP" ALL KNOW ME BY NAME.. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM NHTSA THAT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD/HAS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHILE ACCELERATING AND TURN OFF WHILE BRAKING. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN MY BROTHER WAS FOLLOWING ME AND ASKED WHY I WAS RIDING MY BRAKES. HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE SAW, AND WE FIGURED OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BACKWARD. THE ISSUE CONTINUED, WITH SEEMINGLY NO PATTERN. AT TIMES THEY ILLUMINATED CORRECTLY AND AT OTHERS, NOT. I TESTED THE LIGHTS OFTEN AND SPEED ALSO DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS CHARGED $162.90 FOR A NEW BRAKE SWITCH THAT WAS NOT NEEDED. UPON FINDING THE ISSUE STILL IN EXISTENCE, I CONTACTED THE SHOP TO REQUEST A REFUND, WHICH I WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE WITH BRAKE LIGHTS, EVEN THOUGH THEY WITNESSED IT THEMSELVES WHILE MY CAR WAS THERE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS. UPON FINDING NO ONE WHO SEEMED TO HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, I FOUND A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF A DEMONSTRATION TO FIX THE ISSUE, HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=N7RA7MC_TLO. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FRIEND WHO FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO. MY BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING OK AT THIS POINT, BUT AS THE MAN IN THE VIDEO POINTS OUT, THE FIX MAY ONLY LAST FOR 8 OR SO MONTHS. PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE ?FIXING? MY BRAKE LIGHTS, I HAVE SEEN TWO G6?S ON THE ROAD WITH THIS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, OF WHICH THE DRIVERS MAY OR MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN. MY DAILY COMMUTE OFTEN INVOLVES TRAFFIC BACKUPS, AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I WANT ANYONE BEHIND ME UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT I AM BRAKING. I LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING NHTSA REGARDING THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, AND HOPE TO GET A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKES NOT APPLIED, TURNED OFF WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED (ACCORDING TO FAMILY MEMBER WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME). PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF, BUT HAS RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT - BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES NOT APPLIED, THEN TURN OFF BRIEFLY AND COME BACK ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF FOR ~5-10 SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON. OCCURRED AGAIN THIS MORNING - ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE BY DISCONNECTING NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AND RECONNECTING AFTER ~15 MINUTES TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM WOULD RESET ITSELF, BUT IT DID NOT. INCIDENTS SEEM RANDOM - HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A COMMON THREAD (SUCH AS HARD BRAKING, VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, WEATHER, OTHER LIGHTING ISSUES, ETC). *TR
