SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS PULLED OVER BY GOOD SAMARITANS TO LET ME KNOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING BUT COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IN USE. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET THIS IS HIGHLY COMMON IN THESE CARS. I FOUND A FIX ONLINE UNTIL I WAS PULLED OVER AGAIN BY GOOD SAMARITANS. I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THEY ARE WORKING OR NOT UNLESS MY FATHER DOES A BRAKE CHECK SOME DAYS THEY WORK SOME DAYS THEY DON'T. THIS TO ME IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS FOR CONSUMERS THAT DON'T REALIZE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ARE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A PREGNANT WOMEN TO GET REAR ENDED OR FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THIS BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THIS IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS TOLD MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. PULLED IN MY GARAGE TO CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS. LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE STAYING ON. PRESSED BRAKE PEDDLE AND THEY WENT OFF, AFTER 5SEC THEY CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE THEN THEY WENT OFF. IF I PRESS THE PEDDLE OFF, ON, OFF,ON AND DON'T WAIT 5SEC THE LIGHTS WORK BUT IF I DON'T PRESS THE BRAKE PEDDLE FOR ABOUT 5 SEC THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON. ALSO HAVE BIN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. WILL NOT ENGAGE BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STUCK ON. THANK YOU *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DURING A SNOW STORM AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE TERRIBLE AND VISIBILITY WAS ALREADY POOR DUE TO THE SNOW. IT WAS AFTER DARK AND SNOWING. I HAD TO EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY AND PARK ON A SURFACE STREET MILES FROM MY DESTINATION. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY (FOR A SECOND TIME). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS CHANGING MY FRONT PASSENGER DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP AND HEADLIGHT AND REALIZED THERE IS MASSIVE CORROSION IN BOTH LIGHT SOCKETS. THE REPLACEMENT BULB DID NOT INITIALLY ILLUMINATE AND IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES OF WORKING IT INTO THE SOCKET FOR IT TO FINALLY LIGHT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER MY DASH INFORMATION COUNSEL ILLUMINATED AND READ "AUTO LIGHTS OFF" INDICATING THAT MY RUNNING LAMPS WERE NO LONGER ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE WIRING HARNESS THAT THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY CONNECTS TO IS ERODING AND CAUSES THE HEADLIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF AND MY LOW BEAM LIGHT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I CLEANED THE WIRING HARNESS AND PUT ELECTRICAL GREASE FOR THE CONNECTION TO CONNECT BETTER IT STARTED TO WORK BUT THEN STARTED TURNING OFF AGAIN AND THE CABLE THAT IS THE POWER TO THE LOW BEAM SEEMS TO BE BURNING UP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITH OUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDDLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH 4 TIMES ALREADY. WITH ONE OF THEM BEING TODAY. ON MY WAY HOME TONIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT . WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. SO IF I HAD TO STOP QUICK THE CAR BEHIND ME MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT I'M STOPPING AND HIT ME. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 HAS REPEATING BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATING ISSUES. FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS THE VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHILE BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS AND ACTUALLY STOP ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY IN WARM AND COLD WEATHER, RAINY AND DRY WEATHER. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP HERE IN CINCINNATI, OH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT ITSELF AND THEREFORE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLES ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. NOT ONLY HAVE I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BUT A HANDFUL OF TIMES I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER 2007 G6 ON LOCAL ROADWAYS WITH ILLUMINATING BRAKE LIGHTS DURING ACCELERATION. AGAIN I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND HOPE THAT WITH YOUR HELP GM WILL RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE ME AS A OWNER THE STEPS TO ENSURE SAFETY. THANK YOU *TR

STEERING
MY CAR STARTED STRUGGLING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS. IT FELT LIKE MY POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. AND AFTER THE TURN, AS I WAS BRINGING MY WHEEL BACK AROUND, THERE WAS AN AWFUL CLUNKING SOUND. IT COST ME $1500 TO FIX. I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT MY 2006 PONTIAC G6, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HEARD COUNTLESS REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2006 PONTIAC G6. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVING ON THEHIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED WITHOUTH DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITRCH, FUSES, ADDED DIEELECTRIC GREASE TO THE NODES, REMOVED THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED TEMPORARILY AND THEN START AGAIN. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE. PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO MODELS NEWER THAN 2005. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. GM NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL STARTED JERKING. THEN STEERING WHEEL ACTED AS IF IT WOULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE CONTINUES THIS BEHAVIOR, ALSO STEERING WILL JERK LEFT THEN WILL JERK RIGHT. AT ONE POINT IN THE LAST MONTH, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY, BUT THEN WENT OUT. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO PERFORM POORLY WITH STEERING. VERY DISTURBING TO TRY TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND NOW TEND TO STAY OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH IT ALTOGETHER. 2006 AND 2008 MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEPT GOING OUT ON BOTH SIDES. OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIME AT NIGHT REQUIRING THE CONTINUOUS USE OF HIGH BEAMS. AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS WITH RECOMMENDED WATTAGE 3-4 SEPARATE TIMES OVER A 5 MONTH TIME SPAN TOOK CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE FOUND THAT THE BULB CONNECTORS WERE MELTED DUE TO THE TERMINAL BEING SPREAD, AND THE HIGH AMPERAGE REQUIRED TO RUN HEADLIGHT CAUSED HEAT TO BUILD UP AND MELT CONNECTOR. HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR, SOCKET, AND BULBS (4TH SET OF BULBS IN 5 MONTHS) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. QUESTION QUALITY AND CORRECT ENGINEERING OF ELECTRICAL USED FOR HEADLIGHTS. *TR
