EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY G6 ARE OPERATING IN REVERSE. WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON BUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP, THEY GO OFF. THE ISSUE OCCURS SPORADICALLY. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL GO OFF FOR NO REASON AND SOMETIMES IT REFUSES TO SET. WHEN I CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR TO TELL THEM OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM, THE GUY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME HE WASN'T AT ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS A LAST RESORT. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT MY PONTIAC G6 ALMOST 1 YR AGO, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED THE CLUNK NOISE WHILE TURNING MOSTLY LEFT TURNS, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SO FAR WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE CLUNK NOISE BUT ONE MONTH AGO I KEPT GETTING A RADIO SIGNAL TO SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND MY CAR FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND THE WHEEL WOULD SHAKE BY ITSELF AND WAS WOULD STIFFEN UP LEFT TO RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALER TO FIX IT BUT THE GM DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNSURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT NOTICED THE THAT WHILE IN PARK AND LIFTED OFF THE GROUND THE WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE BEING TURNED AND NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THEY PUT IN A $27 PART A STEERING SENSOR KIT AND SAID THEY RESET THE BRAIN OF THE CAR AND SINCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY I PAID $311.00 . AND NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I DROVE OFF IT IS STILL HAPPENING, JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T GET WORSE THIS CAR I DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING CUT OUT. I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO A POLE, BUT WAS ABLE TO TUG AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND AVOID THE POLE. I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO REST THE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS OCCURRED COUNTLESS TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AT LEAST 20 TO 30 TIMES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR MODEL MY CAR IS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING (RECALL #80317 SUMMARY: GM IS RECALLING 8,012 MY 2005-2006 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES. THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF CORROSION IN A WIRING CONNECTOR. CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LAMPS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, OR THE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE, AND GREATER BRAKE PEDAL FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. CONSEQUENCE: BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY NOT WARN A DRIVER IN A FOLLOWING VEHICLE OF THE BRAKING STATUS AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.) AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND SEND ME ON MY MERRY WAY WITH NO HELP OR OTHER SOLUTIONS BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND I'M TO THE POINT WHERE I'M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE THING AND THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. MINE IS THE 2006 2 DOOR GT I'M NOT SURE WHICH MODELS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL BUT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS WELL. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED HAS BEEN A GM AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS ONE AND IT HAS REALLY PUT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. IF I COULD GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW I WOULD. *TR
