The brake lamps are not operating properly. The brake lamps are illuminated when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. My brake lamps actually turn off when I press them and are on otherwise. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park. The cruise control will sometimes disengage sometimes on its own as well.

When I arrived at work, a person who had been following me drove up and informed me that the brake lights on my 2006 Pontiac G6 came on while I was driving and went off when I applied the brake. The cruise control also didn't work. I subsequently found out that there is a recall for 8012 Pontiac G6S (NHTSA campaign id number 09V036000) for the same problem. For some reason, my 2006 G6 isn't one of those vehicles. I had to pay 254 dollars at a GM service center to have the problem repaired. I'm curious why my G6 isn't also covered by the recall as it obviously suffers from the same '!@#$% design..

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.

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.
