A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME 09-21-2016 NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON CONSTANTLY. DRIVING HOME THAT NIGHT I COULD TELL THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON, UNLESS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEY WOULD GO OFF. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FOR 09-27-2016. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED CAR WITH A BAD BRAKE SWITCH. CAR WAS REPAIRED AND PICKED UP ON 09-30-2016 (BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED) COST 194.81. DROVE THE CAR ON A 300 MILE TRIP ON 10-13-2016. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO CHECKED ON BRAKE LIGHTS AND NOW THEY STAY CONSTANTLY. TRACTION WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY ALSO NOW.. THE CAR DID GO ON FOR THE RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2014. WE WERE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR
MY BRAKES LIGHTS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THEY EITHER STAY ON COMPLETELY OR DON'T COME ON AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ALREADY, AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO STOP WORKING. MY TRACTION CONTROL IS ALSO STARTING TO COME ON NOW, AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. THE TC LIGHT WILL DING, AND IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION THEN PROCEEDS TO TURN IT OFF. *TR
DURING MY 12 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, WHILE ABOUT 3-4 MILES AWAY, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE, I'M GUESSING SIMULTANEOUSLY. DURING THIS TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT RESET. I CAN DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. I CAN RESET THE CRUISE AT THIS TIME. WITHIN MOMENTS, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AGAIN. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IN NATURE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED WHILE IT WAS SET AT 62 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.
CRUISE CONTROL WORKING AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN TURNS OFF AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SET UNLESS YOU LIFT UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND/OR AFTER CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF IT SEEMS TO RESET?!! *JB
WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS GO OFF BUT THE REST OF THE TIME MY LIGHTS ARE ON (WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL) WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME CANNOT TELL WHEN I AM BRAKING. IT ALSO CAUSES ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL THINKS THAT I AM HITTING THE BRAKE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKES BEING ENGAGED. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIOEND THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAME INOPERABLE.THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
WHILE DRIVING, CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL FLAIR ON. THAN WHEN TAP BRAKES, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF. WITHIN A COUPLE SECONDS, THEY WILL TURN BACK ON. WHEN ACTUALLY GOING TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES, HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS THAN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WITHOUT USING CRUISE CONTROL, JUST DRIVING IN GENERAL. BREAK LIGHTS WILL COME ON, THAN WHEN PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THEY SHUT OFF. COUPLE SECONDS LATER, COME BACK ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME(OR DURING THE DAYTIME), NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=6657 IS A FORUM/THREAD OF VARIOUS G6 OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND ALSO BELIEVES THEY HAVE COME UP WITH WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FROM WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, ITS A CONNECTOR WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND IT DEVELOPING CORROSION. *TR
