2008 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE ISN'T BEING PRESSED. THIS IS ALSO LINKED TO MY CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE OF TURNING OFF WHILE ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN NOT TURNING BACK ON. *TR

ON MY 2008 PONTIAC G6, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND IN TURN MAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORK. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED. CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. SLIGHT DEPRESSION OF BRAKE PEDAL TURNED OFF LIGHTS. AFTER RELEASING THE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. OBSERVED SAME CONDITION AFTER THE REACHING OUR DESTINATION WITH THE CAR PARKED AND IGNITION ON. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK STARTED INTERMITTENTLY WORKING, USING THE REMOTE OR DRIVER'S LOCK BUTTON, AND WITHIN 2 MONTHS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT CAN BE OPERATED MANUALLY, HOWEVER, CONSIDERING WHERE THE LOCK IS LOCATED, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND INCONVENIENT TO GET TO. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE USED IT DAILY TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. SHE BEGAN TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED IN STEERING COLUMN. THIS CONTINUED FOR A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT LITTLE FANFARE OR CONCERN UNTIL UNEXPECTEDLY ON HER WAY TO A FRIENDS HOUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ACCORDING HER. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD NOT GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. SHE REACHED ME BY CELL AND I TALKED HER THRU THE SITUATION. WE HAD A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR DEALERSHIP TAKE IT AND DRIVE IT AND HE SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE POWER STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF SINCE THAT TIME AND OUR GM DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $115.00 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. WITH ALL THE CONCERN AND RECALLS RECENTLY ON G6 MODELS FOR 2006 MODELS SOME KIND OF RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THIS 2008 G6 . THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH SHARING CARS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND WHILE DRIVING HER CAR. PLEASE, HELP!!!,,, *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS MANY PROBLEMS STARTING WITH THE SEAT BELT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONING, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME, WATER PUMP WENT OUT IN 2012, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER STICKS IN PARK, THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE APPEARS, THE TWO REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE TRUNK BUTTON IS INOPERABLE. I AM FED UP WITH ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC ISSUES AND HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THEM RESOLVED AT THE DEALERSHIP PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED AND IT HAS RETURNED. THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS SHOWING RUST AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS CLUNKING WHICH WAS FIXED UNDERWARRANTY. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND GETS STIFF CAUSING IT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING IS SO STIFF THAT YOU CANNOT STEER THE CAR IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS IN ALL 2006 PONTIACS BUT NOT 2008. I AM WRITING TODAY BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES A FATALITY. THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE GM 100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHICH IS SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ISN'T WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT USED TO WORK AT LEAST SOMETIMES. THIS IS AFTER REPLACING BOTH HEADLIGHTS EARLIER THIS YEAR. WHEN SPEAKIN WITH THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT ANYTHING IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLIGHT AND ALMOST ALL THE G6 CARS HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEM WITH THIS. LOOKING ON THE G6 FORUM I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE HIM! THIS SHOUDL BE A RECALL!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ACCELERATING. THE LIGHT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SHUT OFF ONCE THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP SOCKETS MELT DUE TO GROUND ISSUES CAUSING THE HEADLAMP BULBS TO BURN OUT. REPLACED HEADLAMP SOCKETS (PIGTAILS) FOR THE LIGHTS WORK FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. PASSENGER (RIGHT) SIDE OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN DRIVER (LEFT). SECOND TIME MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WAS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A FREEWAY. HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL USABLE BUT IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO REGAIN LIGHT. *TR
