2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

I START THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, I THEN STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT TURN OFF. I HAVE VERY NARROWLY MISSED BEING REAR ENDED HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN THREE DAYS THANKFULLY NO BODY HAS BEEN HURT YET. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD SON THAT RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR! YOU GUYS NEED TO GET ON THE BALL, THE ALREADY KNOWN RECALL OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO EXPAND TO AT LEAST 2008. HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU NEED? THIS IS HOW ITS GONNA WORK, I GO TO A GM DEALER, TELL THEM MY PROBLEM. THEY TELL ME "OH, ITS JUST THE ....." AND I SAY "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" "THERE IS A RECALL BUT NOT FOR THIS YEAR, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY" SEE THE PROBLEM HERE? *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED...ALL THE TIME! CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT SUSPENSION. ON-LINE INVESTIGATION SHOWS HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE. LEAKING/DISCONNECTED TUBES IN ROOF FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES. CAUSED MAJOR LEAKS, WET INTERIOR, INCLUDING UNDER BACK SEAT. AFTER REMOVAL OF CARPETS AND SEAT, MUSTY ODOR REMAINS AND STAINING OF HEADLINER. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THESE REPORTS ON-LINE ALSO. *TR

REPLACED THE H11 BULB (DRIVERS SIDE) DUE TO IT NO LONGER WORKING. INSTALLED NEW BULB AND WITH A LITTLE WIGGLING OF THE CONNECTOR GOT IT TO WORK. THRU THE WEEK THE LIGHT WOULD WORK AND THEN NOT WORK. IF YA BANGED THE HOUSING IT WOULD COME ON. TODAY (JUNE 15, 2013) I WENT TO REPLACE THE H11 BULB AND FOUND THE CONNECTOR MELTED ON ONE SIDE. THE WIRE WAS EXPOSED AND SHORTED OUT. REPLACED THE CONNECTOR AND INSTALLED A NEW H11 BULB. SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE PASSENGER SIDE H11 BULB HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO. HIGH BEAM WIRING SEEMS TO BE INTACT WITH NO ISSUES. *TR

LOST ABILITY TO CONTROL STEERING WITH SWAYING AND SHUDDER, SLOWED VEHICLE TO GET CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

I WAS CHANGING MY FRONT PASSENGER DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP AND HEADLIGHT AND REALIZED THERE IS MASSIVE CORROSION IN BOTH LIGHT SOCKETS. THE REPLACEMENT BULB DID NOT INITIALLY ILLUMINATE AND IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES OF WORKING IT INTO THE SOCKET FOR IT TO FINALLY LIGHT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER MY DASH INFORMATION COUNSEL ILLUMINATED AND READ "AUTO LIGHTS OFF" INDICATING THAT MY RUNNING LAMPS WERE NO LONGER ON. *TR

REAR DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING WITH REMOTE ENTRY, THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING WITH FRONT DRIVERS/PASSENGER SIDE LOCKING MECHANISMS. TOOK TO DEALER WHO REPLACED LOCK ACTUATOR (?) UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY (AFTER MULTIPLE BREAK-INS BECAUSE REAR DOORS WEREN'T PROPERLY LOCKED!) *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DURING A SNOW STORM AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE TERRIBLE AND VISIBILITY WAS ALREADY POOR DUE TO THE SNOW. IT WAS AFTER DARK AND SNOWING. I HAD TO EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY AND PARK ON A SURFACE STREET MILES FROM MY DESTINATION. IT WAS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY (FOR A SECOND TIME). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN MICHIGAN, DURING A THUNDERSTORM, AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BUT HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. I LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO YEARS LATER AND I WILL BE FILING A SEPARATE INCIDENT REPORT (IN ADDITION TO OTHERS. THIS IS A CRAP CAR). *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE THAT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAS CAUSE MANY PEOPLE TO ALMOST REAR-END ME IN INTERCITY DRIVING AND MANY PASS ME ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THEY ASSUME I AM "RIDING MY BRAKES." I'VE GONE AS FAR AS TO PUT DIALECTIC GREASE ON THE BODY COMPUTER TO PREVENT ANY CORROSION, BUT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WE FOUND THAT IF WE PERIODICALLY UNPLUG AND RE-PLUG THE SAME COMPUTER IT WILL "RESET" THE BRAKES FOR A TEMPORARY AMOUNT OF TIME. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING PONTIAC ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT END UP BEING REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT "THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN ON THIS ISSUE." THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE AS MUCH THAT I WAS CALLING OUT OF COURTESY TO LET THEM KNOW SO THEY CAN PREVENT ANY ISSUES OR FATALITIES. I WAS URGED TO GO PAY A GM DEALER $$ TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULD FIND OUT THAT WAY.......WOW, THANKS PONTIAC, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO....PAY MONEY TO HELP YOU EXPAND YOUR RECALL. *TR
