ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE PRESSING GAS...WHEN PRESSING BRAKE THEY SHUT OFF. WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING YOU HAVE TO PRESS REAL HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK TO DRIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS DOESN'T WARN OTHER DRIVERS WHEN STOPPING WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS REPORTED YET WHAT I HAVE READ BUT I DO BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE YOU DO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS NOT GET RECALLED AND KILL SOMEONE OVER A SIMPLE FIX. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT:HIT A DOG AT 55 MPH, DAMAGE OVER $2,000, MY SEAT BELT LOCKED UP RIPPED MY COAT AND BRUISED RIBS, BROKE THE SEAT BELT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SMELL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING FILLED THE CAR. THE AIR BAG SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT GM DEALER THAT DID THE AUTO BODY REPAIR SAID AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY AT THAT SPEED WHEN YOU HIT AN ANIMAL, AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO SERVICE IT. INSTEAD THEY DISABLED THE LIGHT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I WASNT USING THE BRAKES AND WENT OFF WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING USED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T MADE AT A PARTICULAR LOCATION, IT DIDN'T FALL UNDER A RECALL THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2009. I FIRST NOTICED IT 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED. THE CRUISE WOULD ALWAYS TURN OFF RANDOMLY. I NOTICED THEN THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON. NOW THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. THEY DON'T TURN OFF UNLESS CAR IS OFF. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SAY ITS ON WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AND SOMETIMES WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT IT WILL BE OFF. ALSO WITH THIS THE SEATBELT ALARM WILL DING AND DING UNTIL I BUCKLE IN MY INVISIBLE PERSON. IT ISN'T ALL THE TIME BUT IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE HAVING A FAULTY AIR BAG IS NOT COOL. I'VE CONTACTED GM BECAUSE I SAW THAT THESE THINGS WERE ON RECALL BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN ISN'T RECALLED EVEN THOUGH ITS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN HELP? *TR

STEERING
WHEN I START MY CAR I GET 3 ERRORS "POWER STEERING. SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF." I AM ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE ELECTRIC SIGNAL SENDS TO THE EPS SYSTEM SO I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED BACK OFF. BECAUSE THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IT DOESNT SEND MESSAGE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AND CAUSES THE POWER STEERING NOT TO WORK. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA ID 10499437 AND 10479698. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS AN EXISTING RECALL WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2010 PONTIAC G6 AND NOT JUST THE G5. *TR
