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.

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. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

Brake lights not functioning properly! brake lights either was on all the time or flickered. The dealer has been great by putting me in alt transportaion, but seemed the problem only existed with me for they did not have the problem with the car while in their possesion, but when I picked up my car the problem was again there. They have replaced the brake light switch, ABS module, and reprogrammed the BCM. But the problem still existed. Very dangerous, no one could tell when stopping, slowing or going or just riding the brakes. This has to be addressed.
