2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH 2008 PONTIAC G6 A YEAR AGO, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE STARTED COMING ON, CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING BUT GO OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WORKED ON TWICE, THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, PUT ON THE COMPUTER SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM. NOTHING HAS WORKED AND ALL THE SERVICE AND REPAIR COSTS HAVE COME OUT OF MY POCKET. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND STATE TROOPERS, AND HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. I JUST HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I GOT PULLED OVER AGAIN TONIGHT BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT WENT OUT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS DANGEROUS, I DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY AN HOUR AND A HALF EACH WAY TO A CITY, AND I AM SCARED EVERYDAY THAT SOMEONE WILL HIT ME BECAUSE THEY WON'T KNOW I AM BRAKING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS RISKING MY LIFE, OTHER DRIVER'S LIVES, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE CONSTANT SERVICE BILLS FOR REPAIRS THAT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

THIS CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BUT THEY HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THE STEERING MAKES A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING OR TURNING THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES SQUEAK, AND UNDERNEATH IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL OUT. IT'S PRETTY SAD WHEN YOU TAKE THIS CAR TO DIFFERENT PROFESSIONALS AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT THEY CLEARLY SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHO WANTS TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT CAN'T BE FIXED.*JB

THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NOT BEEN DEPRESSED, AND THE LAMPS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. *JB

WHEN I FIRST NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING, TIRE FELT WEIRD. (RIGHT FRONT TIRE) LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE ITSELF WAS WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL, MOVING BACK AND FORTH (LEFT TO RIGHT). WE THOUGHT IT WAS RACK AND PINION..OR WHEEL BEARING. WE DID FLUSH OUT BRAKE FLUID IN HOPES THIS IS WHAT WAS WRONG..?..BUT..I FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL AND STEERING COLUMN AS WELL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I AM TO CHECK ON ANY RECALLS ON THIS MODEL.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN FIRST PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF BUT THEN GO BACK ON AFTER 3-5SECS. PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER SO THE BRAKES ACTUALLY APPLY, THE LIGHTS RE-ILLUMINATE. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WORKS INTERMITTENTLY WHICH FROM OTHER POSTS SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE. MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK JUST STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL - COULD BE UNRELATED HOWEVER IT ALL SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT ONCE SO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING BAD. LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND WHEN FIRST PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF AND AFTER PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER THEY WILL RE-ILLUMINATE. BECAUSE OF THEM ALWAYS BEING ON THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WILL NOT WORK. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING IN "AUTO" MODE. AUTHORIZED DEALER SAID SOCKET WAS CORRODED AND MELTED. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, YET GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR OBVIOUSLY INFERIOR WIRING WITH POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS RESULTS. QUOTED REPAIR COSTS ARE EXORBITANT, AND BASED ON THE QUANTITY OF OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES, ONE WOULD EXPECT THAT GM WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
