WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T HITTING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME,THEN WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF WHEN I LET UP ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON IF THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR IT IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO HAVE A WREAK AND GET HURT.I THINK THE COMPANY NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE SUES THE COMPANY FOR WRONGFUL DEATH.

2009 PONTIAC G6 I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO SWITCH ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULDN'T WORK SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON SO I WENT BACK AND PRESSED THE BRAKES THEN THEY TURNED OFF. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN BUT SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL IT COMES ON BUT TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF. BUT IF I HIT THE BRAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A SECOND THEN TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I DRIVE BUT WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS THEY TURN OFF. IM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET AND I SAW THAT YOUR COMPANY STARTED AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ON THE HIGHWAY IT'S HAPPENING NOW ALL THE TIME. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE SO I'D RATHER GET THIS FIXED NOW. PLEASE HELP. THANKS! *TR

I HAD SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME HOME THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN WE ARRIVED THEY ASKED ME WHY I KEPT PUTTING ON MY BRAKES AND LETTING OFF. I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. WE CRANKED UP THE CAR AND STOOD BEHIND IT AND WATCHED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WITHOUT ANYONE EVEN SITTING IN THE CAR. I GOT IN AND STARTED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WHEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. WHEN I LET OFF OF THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED SEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR G6'S. IN MY OPINION AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN GM NOT BE TAKING ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TALK THEY ADVERTISED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE NEW G6? GM NEEDS TO STAND UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING HERE BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT OR DIES DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOWBEAM WENT OUT, REPLACED BULB AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, INSPECTED WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS CHARRED AND MELTED, AND THE WIRING NEAR IT WAS ALSO CHARRING AND INSULATION BURNING OFF. REPLACED WIRING HARNESS, BULB WENT OUT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER, INSPECTED NEW WIRING HARNESS AND NOTICED IT WAS MELTING AGAIN. SUSPECT SHORT AS EVEN THE WIRES ARE GETTING VERY HOT, HOWEVER NO FUSE HAS BLOWN TO DATE. CONCERNED ABOUT SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT AND ABOUT FIRE RISK. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING, SOON AFTER THAT SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON MOST OF THE TIME, ONLY GOING OFF OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE TESTED IT, AND YOU CAN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WATCH THE LIGHTS GO FROM OFF TO ON WITH OUT TOUCHING THE BREAK PETAL. (THEY STAY ON) I AM GOING TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE TOMORROW. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I KNOW THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR
