SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I START THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I DO TOUCH THE PEDAL THEY GO OUT. ALSO THE CRUSE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING ABOUT THE SAME TIME. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT BUT HE COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I WILL GET A HOLD OF G.M. AND TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THE WAY THE STOP LIGHTS WORK-BACKWARDS-. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LAST WEEK I WAS FOLLOWING MY SON DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN WE APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT, HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG HE HAD BEEN DRIVING HIS VEHICLE WITH NO BRAKES LIGHTS WHILE BRAKING. HINDSIGHT, MOST LIKELY, WHEN HIS CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING (EARLY SUMMER). HE IS A COLLEGE STUDENT THAT ATTENDS A UNIVERSITY 3 HOURS FROM HOME AND TRAVELS THE INTERSTATE FREQUENTLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FIND IT VERY NEGLIGENT THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FAULTY SENSOR. WOULD ANY EMPLOYEE OF GENERAL MOTORS WANT THEIR CHILD DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS? PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND TURNING LANE AND I STARTED TO TURN AND I LOST ALL MY POWER STEERING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO AFTER I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEAMS TO BE WORK NOW. IT HAS A ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT SO THERE IS NO FLUID TO CHECK. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND READ MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING. IF I WAS NOT SO LUCKY I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME OR COMING SOME OTHER DIRECTION. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING LOSS HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED TWICE IN THE PAST NINE DAYS. AN AUDIBLE CHIME SOUNDS AND THE DIC INDICATES POWER STEERING. STEERING BECAME VERY RIGID AND I SWERVED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE LOSS. SHUT THE CAR OFF, STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMS FINE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, NINE DAYS AGO SAME THING. SHUT IT OFF, STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK THEN IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. TOOK PICTURE OF DIC TO DATE STAMP THE INCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN
BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING AND FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE, THEN TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. SOMETIMES BLINK FIRST AND THEY ILLUMINATE AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. ALSO SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP ONCE ALREADY, THE BRAKE LIGHTS SEEMED TO WORK FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE ISSUE STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. HAVE 2ND APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I'D NOTICED THIS BEFORE BUT THOUGHT LITTLE OF IT UNTIL SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PULL UP BESIDE ME AND INFORM ME STATING, "HEY, YOU KNOW YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING. ITS LIKE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THEY'RE ON BUT WHEN YOU BRAKE, THEY TURN OFF, IT'S KINDA WEIRD." ONCE GETTING TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD ONE OF MY FRIENDS TRAIL BEHIND ME AND OBSERVE THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS INDEED TRUE. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE OR CAUSED SOMEONE THEIRS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AFTER I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE ARE ALSO TIMES THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD FOR MY CAR TO SHIFT. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT ENGAGING WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT ON. I HIT THE BUTTON FOR CRUISE & THE LIGHT JUST FLASHES BACK OFF INSTEAD OF STAYING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T PRESSED AND THEN TURNING OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING AND IT WILL TAKE A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE GETTING OUT OF PARK SOMETIMES. IT SEEMS I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN INCREDIBLY HARD ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO SHIFT IT INTO GEAR. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THESE PROBLEMS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CAUSE COULD BE. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK LONG BECAUSE I WAS FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL CARS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 AND 2006 G6'S BUT OF COURSE MY VIN WASN'T COVERED. IN FACT, I TALKED TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP FROM GM AND SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THERE WERE RECALLS OF THE 2005 2006 G6'S FOR THIS PROBLEM AND VERBATIM I RECEIVED "NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE". I JUST FINISHED TALKING WITH THAT GM REP LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AGO. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WORKING FOR GM HASN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS RECALL? I'M FRUSTRATED BY THE RUNAROUND I GOT WITH THE GM REPS AND IN THE END I STILL HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER VIN'S. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED ON. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW THAT I AM SLOWING DOWN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR ENDED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS
WE HAVE A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END OF THIS PIECE OF CRAP WHILE TURNING. WE HAVE REPLACED THE STRUT & SPRING ASSEMBLY AND SWAY BARS IN THE FRONT, AS WELL AS THE REAR SHOCKS. NOW ITS GETTING HARD TO TURN AND APPEARS TO BE THE POWER STEERING OR A STEERING SHAFT ISSUE. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW ON AFTER THE FUSE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL BLEW, REPLACED FUSE AND STILL REMAINS ON. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND NOW FEEL ITS A DEATH TRAP, THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND NO RECALLS. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD DRIVING IT, OR YOURSELF FOR THAT MATTER. YOU REALLY NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING!!! *TR
