2005 Pontiac G6 Speed Control & Cruise Problems

01/05/2014 AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, A TRUCK PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING - HOWEVER THEY HAD BEEN JUST A MOMENT BEFORE. *TR 01/10/2014 THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THIS DATE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING (HOWEVER I WAS NOT BREAKING), AND THERE WAS A DRIVER THAT PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, HOWEVER THE FUSE IS NOT DAMAGED.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND THREW US FORWARD WHICH RESULTED IN US RUNNING INTO SOME CEMENT PILLARS. I HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR UP TO THE RADIATOR WAS CRUNCHED. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HIT THE CEMENT PILLARS AN NOT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON, BUT AM DEFINITELY WORRIED ABOUT IT NOT BEING FIXED PROPERLY AND HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT...ONLY ONE OF THEM. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING. FOR SOME TIME NOW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE OFF AND ON WITH TAKING THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES, I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES REAL HARD FOR IT TO RELEASE AND LET ME MOVE THE GEAR STICK. ALSO EXPERIENCED OUR CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK WHEN ON VACATION IN FLORIDA IN MAY 2013. HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. THINKING BACK ON IT NOW, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE PROBABLY ACTING UP DURING THAT TIME! RECENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN WORKING. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TELL ME AFTER FOLLOWING ME, THAT I'M "RIDING" MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF! I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW. TRYING TO CONTACT OUR GM DEALERSHIP, WHICH KNOWS NOTHING OF A PAST RECALL. CONTACTED THE NATIONAL GM AND THEY HAVE NO "ACTIVE" RECALL FOR MY CAR. COPIED IT OFF THE WEBSITE ALONG WITH OTHERS' SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM TO PRESENT TO OUR LOCAL GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT IF I WANT IT FIXED. I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT NOW WITH MY LIGHTS WORKING BACKWARDS!! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR FOR 8 YEARS WITH THIS BEING THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I'VE HAD. NEED HELP WITH GETTING THIS PAST RECALL REACTIVATED AND PAID FOR BY GM. ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR IF AND WHEN THE RECALL IS REACTIVATED AFTER I'VE HAD IT FIXED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC G6 AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. IT WILL DISENGAGE WHILE ON AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND OFF. YESTERDAY, MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM SCHOOL AND HAD THE CRUISE ON. IT STARTED ACCELERATING AND HE COULD NOT GET IT TO COME OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT TOOK HIM CLOSE TO 2 MINUTES TO GET IT TO GO OFF. IT HAD ACCELERATED CLOSE TO 90 MPH. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID IT WOULD BE DOCUMENTED. I AM AFRAID IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO EITHER WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR COMPUTER ISSUES. THIS IS VERY SCARY WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH TOYOTA AND TO KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS ALSO. *TR
