SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING , BUT THEY GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY ALSO. THAT IS, THE CRUISE CANNOT BE SET AT TIMES AND WHEN IT IS SET, IT WILL JUST GO OUT FOR NO REASON AND CAN'T BE RESET. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T COME ON AND WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS THEY ARE ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE CRUISE ALSO KICKING OFF AT THE SAME TIME. *JS

STEERING, SUSPENSION
LOUD CONSTANT CLUNKING NOISE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO INCIDENT PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT,AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK IN GARAGE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THESE CARS THEY ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING POWER STEERING AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS ALSO THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN IN NUMEROUS AUTO CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS! THIS VEHICLE ALSO ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WHATSOEVER,WHY IS THAT?BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE AT GM DROPPED THE BALL!!! I AM IN THE MILITARY AND I AM BY NO MEANS FINANCIALLY ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DUMP MONIES ON A VEHICLE THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COSTS THAT HAS SAFETY ISSUES!!! *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN AND STAY ON AS THE CAR IS STARTED FROM COLD OR WARM ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AND DIE AS I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. MANY CARS HAVE NEARLY REAR ENDED ME AND I'VE RECEIVED MANY COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME STATING THE SAME THING I SEE, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON TILL I HIT THE BRAKES. WHICH CONFUSES THEM AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO SCREECH THEY'RE TIRES TO STOP FROM IMPACT (10 INCIDENTS). THIS FAULTY INCIDENT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES. I TOOK IN TO GM AND THEY COULDN'T ADDRESS NOR BELIEVED ME BECAUSE MY SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE OFF AND IT DIDN'T MIMICK THE SAME. BUT AFTER 36, 000 MILES THIS ISSUE HAPPENED EVERYDAY. UNLESS IT IS 80 DEGREES OUT IT DOESN'T COME ON AS OFTEN MORE LIKE EVERY OTHER START UP. IT IS REALLY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR RIGHT BEFORE A HEAVY INTERSECTION. WILL GM FIX THIS ISSUE OR WAIT FOR A BAD DISASTER TO HAPPEN LIKE TOYOTA? THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER G6 I SEE ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE SO I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MINES. IF THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE RECALL, GM HAS LOST ALL RESPECT, AT LEAST WITH TOYOTA THEY ADMITTED TO FAULTY BRAKES AND WENT ALONG TO FIX THEM. WHILE GM FOR YEARS HAVE IGNORE THIS ISSUE. MY FIRST AMERICAN CAR AND MY ONLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A VEHICLE. MY NEXT CAR WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE A GM MADE FAULTY CAR TILL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REALIZED AND ADDRESS. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY GRANDMA OWNS THIS CAR, WHEN I VISITED THIS WEEK THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN HER GARAGE. SHE TOLD ME IT HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. I IMMEDIATELY HAD HER OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND MADE AN APPT WITH A MECHANIC. IT WAS THE CRACKED ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT HAD BEEN CONTINUOUSLY LEAKING GAS ONTO THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, WHICH COST MORE THAN $700. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC AND A SIMPLE COMPUTER SEARCH I REALIZED THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT GM ALLOWED THIS TO GO UNANNOUNCED. SHE RUNS A KILN IN HER GARAGE AT HEATS OVER 1800. SHE HAD ESSENTIALLY A BOWL OF FUEL SITTING ON HER GAS TANK FOR OVER 6MO. WHILE SHE DROVE AND WHILE IT WAS CLOSED IN HER GARAGE. THANK GOD SHE'S SAFE, BECAUSE IT WAS NO THANKS TO GM. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OPPOSITE OF HOW INTENDED. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ACTIVATED, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO INOPERATIVE, MOST LIKELY LINKED TO THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER. I ASKED FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE MYSELF AND WAS TOLD NONE WAS AVAILABLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE IF FATALITIES HAVE NOT ALREADY OCCURRED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE. THEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. -CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FIRST ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS BEEPING AT ME AND CARS FLASHING LIGHTS AT ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE BRAKE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AND ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO SOMEONE OR RAGE DRIVERS BEHIND ME. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" KEEPS COMING ON. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE THEY STATED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE G6 MODELS. I THEN RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING, THE PROBLEM IS A BAD SENSOR AND COMPUTER. RESETTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH IS 600.00 AND CHANGING OUT THE SENSOR IS 1200.00 AND THAT STILL DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND IT IS UNKNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF THE AIRBAG ACTUALLY WORKS! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE SCARY PART IS THAT THEY SHUT OFF WHEN YOU HIT THE PEDAL AND THEN COME BACK ON ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER. I SAW ON THE WEB THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CORROSION ON THE BCM CONNECTIONS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR PREVIOUS YEARS AND GM HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS. I AM GOING TO TRY A QUICK FIX I FOUND ON THE PONTIAC G6 FORUM BEFORE I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND SPEND MY OWN MONEY ON AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS APPEAR ON WHEN DRIVING, BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE SHOWS THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON IT EFFECTS MY CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AND CLOSE CALLS OF BEING HIT BECAUSE WHEN I AM ACTUALLY BRAKING, IT SHOWS I AM NOT SO VEHICLES BEHIND ME DO NOT KNOW I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES. *TR
