EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES FOR MY EXACT YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL ...BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED AND THEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE WEB SITES FROM OTHER 2006 PONTIAC G6 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND THEIR CAR IS ALSO NOT COVERED BECAUSE THEIR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WELL, EVIDENTLY, IT IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WHAT THEY FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS. IT IS NOT JUST ONE ASSEMBLY PLANT OR ONE BATCH OF PARTS THAT WAS FAULTY. IF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS COMING UP ON THE EXACT SAME YEAR, MAKE, & MODEL...THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE AND ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE READ THAT SOME OWNERS THAT BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN FOR REPAIR, WHETHER COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OR NOT, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CARS ARE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE DRIVER. PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL ALL 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND MAKE SURE THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. I HOPE GM OR NHTSA DOESN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE IS ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS. I REALLY HOPE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THERE COULDN'T BE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WITH SO MUCH FREEWAY STOP & GO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK TODAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH, A COWORKER WAS FOLLOWING ME. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT WORK, HE SAID THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS BEHIND ME, ABOUT 4 MILES. WHEN I TAPPED MY BRAKES TO MAKE THE TURN INTO OUR WORKS PARKING LOT, MY COWORKER SAID THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND DID NOT TURN BACK ON, EVEN WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED DURING THE 4 MILES WHILE DOING 55. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

AIR BAGS
AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT IN A BUSY AREA THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ALL OF THE SUDDEN ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT IMPACT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER INTO THE MICHAEL'S STORE NEAR BY. THE AIR BAGS HIT MY HEAD AND ARM. THE ENTIRE SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE SEAT MECHANISM EXPLODED FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO THE BACK PASSENGER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BEGAN TO NOTICE STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM VEHICLE WHICH LEAD ME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE FUEL LINE AS STATED IN RECALL 09V-419. UNFORTUNATELY THE G6 IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE G5 IS. BECAUSE OF THE FUEL LEAK, GAS MILEAGE IS SUFFERING GREATLY. G6 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT DO NOT OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD MOST OF THE TIME. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED, THEN WHEN I DO BRAKE THE LIGHTS TURN OFF(SOMETIMES THEY WILL FLASH AND COME BACK ON). THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH CARS SWERVING OUT OF THE LANE BEHIND ME MORE THAN ONCE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR. ALSO, THIS BEING A SMALLER ISSUE, WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE I AM DRIVING I CANNOT ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL OR IF IT HAS BEEN ENGAGED WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFF WHEN THEY COME ON THEY DISENGAGE IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
MY BRAKES LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED AND GOING OFF WHEN IT IS. I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH STILL NOT WORKING. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK. WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE WHEEL SHAKES A LITTLE BIT AND THE CAR LIKES TO PULL TO ONE SIDE. AFTER READING A FEW OF THESE REVIEWS AND NOTICING THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, SOMETHINGS NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR THE WAY IT IS. IM AFRAID THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE IN TIME UNTIL IT IS TO LATE FOR SOMEONE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR 2007 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. ONCE THE PEDAL IS PRESSED THE LIGHTS GO OFF. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTING SWITCH ONCE. THE SHOP HAS TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE BEHIND US LOCK UP THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID REAR RENDING US BECAUSE THEY AREN'T AWARE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY ON THE BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE FOLLOWING US. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF IT THAT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN NEAR THE CAR. VEHICLE JUST RECENTLY WAS INSPECTED FOR EMISSIONS AND PASSED THE CALIFORNIA SMOG CHECK. THE SMOG CHECK TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED FURTHER. I FOUND ONLINE THAT OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF THEY WILL PAY FOR REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP GILROY CADILLAC CHEVROLET HAS ORDERED PART AND IS GOING TO REPAIR AND INDICATED COST OF >$1,100.00 THEY SAID THAT A PLASTIC ELBOW FITTING ON OUTSIDE OF FUEL TANK IS CRACKED AND SPRAYING GASOLINE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK AND THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FUEL PUMP IS FUNCTIONING AND CAR RUNS FINE, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE GETTING STUCK ON. THE ISSUE HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NOW EACH TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE GETTING STUCK ON. WHEN I TAP THE BREAK, THE LIGHTS TURN OFF ALL TOGETHER. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THIS REPAIRED SINCE I CAN BE TICKETED FOR THIS, AND/OR GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH? THE ISSUE ALSO CAUSES A PROBLEM WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL TO REFUSE TO ENGAGE. *TR
