The brake lights will stay on after I remove my foot from the brake pedal, there are also times they do not illuminate when I have my foot on the brake. I also have problems shifting out of park. I have to push the brake pedal very hard for my car to shift. I have also had problems with my cruise control not engaging when I tried to turn it on. I hit the button for cruise & the light just flashes back off instead of staying on like it should.

The date of the incident is not the first incident...only one of them. The problems have been ongoing. For some time now, I have experienced trouble off and on with taking the gear out of park. This doesn't happen every time, but when it does, I have to press the brake pedal several times real hard for it to release and let me move the gear stick. Also experienced our cruise control didn't work when on vacation in florida in may 2013. Had no idea what was going on then. Thinking back on it now, the brake lights were probably acting up during that time! Recently, the cruise control has been working. Clearly an electrical issue. I've had several people tell me after following me, that I'm "riding" my brakes and when I stop, the brake lights go off! I am finding that this is happening all the time now. Trying to contact our gm dealership, which knows nothing of a past recall. Contacted the national gm and they have no "active" recall for my car. Copied it off the website along with others' same complaints with the remedy to the problem to present to our local gm service department. Will have to pay for this defect if I want it fixed. I'm afraid to even drive it now with my lights working backwards!! This has been a great car for 8 years with this being the only problem that I've had. Need help with getting this past recall reactivated and paid for by gm. Asking for reimbursement for the repair if and when the recall is reactivated after I've had it fixed.
When the brakes are applied, the tail lights go out. While driving the brake lights are on causing cruise control not to engage. The brake pedal position sensor has already had the dielectric grease put in the connector but still malfunctions.
The issues started by the cruise control unexpectedly disengaging while driving. It has now progressed to it the cruise control comes on when you press the brake. That was almost a year ago. Now, the cruise control starts when the brake is pressed. However, when it comes on with the brake it stays on approximately 11-12 seconds and the disengages. The brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not being pressed. When, the brakes are being pressed the brake lights do not always come on. These issues have been happening since spring of 2012.I have taken my vehicular to gmc before and I was told their were no recalls and they have never heard of my problems before. But, if I pay there diagnostic fee to find out what's wrong in the electrical system that they can replace the electrical system but it would be a costly repair. I was then informed it would be cheaper to just trade it in. I was appalled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the rear brake lights erroneously illuminated without the brakes being applied. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the brake pedal switch shorted internally and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 75,000. .... Updated 02-20-13 *bf the consumer stated the cruise control would not engage and the traction control would randomly turn on. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 02/21/2013
My 2005 g6 brake lights stay on 24/7 very hard to get out of park. I cannot use the cruise control. The position of the pedal is affecting everything. It's unsafe! They are telling me I need to pay $300.25 to replace the bcm. Nothing else is wrong but what they state in the recall papers. Why do I have to fix a problem they recalled??
I own a 2005 pontiac g6 and having issues with the cruise control. It will disengage while on and then the brake lights will go on and off. Yesterday, my 16 year old son was driving it home from school and had the cruise on. It started accelerating and he could not get it to come off immediately. It took him close to 2 minutes to get it to go off. It had accelerated close to 90 MPH. I notified gm and they took my information and said it would be documented. I am afraid it has something to do either with the brake system or computer issues. This is very scary with everything going on with toyota and to know it could be happening to other cars also.
Pontiac g6 brake lights were operating opposite (brakes lights illuminated while driving and not illuminated while brake is applied). Cruise control not engaging. Apparently there was a recall for some models of the g6 but was told by pontiac that my g6 was not covered under the recall for the exact same issue.
