Page 2 of 7: complaints 11 to 40 of 189, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. When the brake pedal was depressed, the rear brake lights would not illuminate. When the brake pedal was not being depressed, the rear brake lights would erroneously remain illuminated. The vehicle was taken to tinney gmc (11249 west carson city rd, greenvale, mi) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced in august of 2014 per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (exterior lighting) for the same failure; however, the remedy was insufficient. The vehicle had been serviced for the same failure on seven separate occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the continuing failure. The failure mileage was 63,000.
Have replaced bulbs in headlights and the connectors yet the head lights will still not turn on have to use brights and they sometimes dont work. The fuel sensor on the gas tank keeps causing the check engine light to turn on and causing engine to not function properly. The brake light on the dash board keeps coming on when all brakes have been replaced along with calipers and rotors.
This car was horrible brakes rotors steering was never correct the cruise control went up and down and after I fixed ton stuff the guy I buy it from cane and stole it my husband job in middle of niggt
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. While driving at night, both rear tail lights remained illuminated when depressing the brake pedal. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake switch module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred twice. The contact called gilland chevrolet gmc at (877) 666-7521 (located at 3071 us-231, ozark, al 36360) and was informed to schedule an appointment. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
While driving any speed, brake lights remain on. When pressing the brake, the brake lights turn off. Extremely dangerous and can possibly cause a rear end accident.
Cruise control does not come on and brake lights are on without being used. Car only had 69000 miles

I have never been through so much and my mother has not been the same since her brain surgery. So please check you vehicle you never know what tomorrow will bring!!!
Power streeling
My son died in the car.
The brake lights started coming on without the pedal being pushed.then the battery started going dead randomly when parked.then all dashlights flickering ,power locks locking and unlocking thereself,and lost accelerating power and shut off ,all happened while in motion on city street.have trouble switching gear shift out of park.front brakes also locking up randomly when driving.
Abs and traction control lights on dash came on during a routine drive, and remain on. Had mechanic inspect- concluded that both sensors working, malfunction due to no electricity being delivered. As a result, critical crash avoidance features (both anti-lock brake and traction control are critical) are disabled / failing. Repair would require tracing wire back to point of issue. Before having a private mechanic address, I learned of recall for this specific issue (the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000) effective aug 18, 2014, whereby gm to address wiring harness with spacers and dielectrical lubricant. Contacted general motors on this and told no open recall; told that it was already addressed by service at devan chevrolet, wilton ct on aug 13, 2015. I do acknowledge that I had the car at that dealer / service center on that date for another matter- I had no issues or symptoms with ABS and traction control while its possible that during that visit they actioned the remedy detailed in the recall, however, as there was no noted issue at that time, I am not sure they did anything that made a difference. Now that the symptoms are persistent, gm appears to declare no repair is required under the recall.
I have had his problem looked at a fixed every since I bought the car brand new. The brake lights blink off and on when you go to brake you have no lights at all. The whole time your driving they blink off and on. Car was being driven on the interstate . Semi kept honking and pointing to the back looked out rear view mirror and boulder see them flashing.
Recall 13036 including special coverage 16188 did not fix my vehicle. My vehicle has the following problems... -service brake lamps illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied -service brake lamps will not illuminate when the service brakes are applied -cruise control will not engage (the above conditions have happened when the car is in motion, stationary, on streets, highways, turning and braking.) -vehicle will shift out of park without the service brakes being applied these above conditions are the exact conditions that recall 13036 was to have fixed. The dealership addressed this recall earlier this year, and the vehicle is still having problems. I cannot get my vehicle back from the dealership because it is a violation of federal law to deliver the vehicle to me until the defect is remedied. Service technician says the bcm (body control module) needs replaced. The vehicle went in for recall, the recall didnt fix the problem. I took the vehicle back and am told that 1) the problem is the bcm and 2) I cant have the vehicle back until the problem is fixed. I am not satisfied. The vehicle problem is not remedied. I am having to pay to get the vehicle remedied. Pontiac customer service refers me to the federal safety agency. The vehicle is a safety hazard to the driver and any passengers, as well as fellow motorists around the vehicle. I am upset that a large corporation would not take the time to make sure my vehicle is safe, after not fixing a recall. The federal safety agency campaign id number for this recall is 14v252. Thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. The contact stated that when at a parking lot of a school, the contact drove very slowly at an unknown speed, the brake pedal failed to respond when depressed and in addition the vehicle accelerated to an unknown speed. The power steering failed to turn left or right. The failure occurred without warning. The failure caused the contact's vehicle to crash into another vehicle, which made the vehicle come to a stop. Only the air bag on the power steering wheel deployed. The other air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a back injury that did not require medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control), 14v153000 (steering) and 14v224000 (power train) however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not contacted and was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
First there is a message that pops up on my dashboard saying about my airbag warning. It pops up throughtout my drive. Its been doing this since I bought my car in 2008. But I mever got a recall paper in the mail and when I put my VIN number in, it has no recalls for the airbag. Its alarming and scary hearing about other peoples complaints with the same issues. Secondly I got a letter in the mail from gmc or something about a recall on my car. It had to do with my break lights coming on automatically while I had my car in the park position. I was excited to finally get it fixed but when I took it to the gmc mechanics in albany oregon they said nothing was wrong. However till this day I continue to have this issue. The brake lights turn on and stay on while im driving. Ive had several people who were driving behind me tell me the same thing. I just got back from vacation and while driving on the freeway for a long time, I stopped at the rest area and an older gentleman came up to me and told me my brake lights were on the whole time for the last 30 miles he was behind me. If I got a letter concerning my brakes then why arent they willing to fix my problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6. While driving at any speed, the brake lights illuminated. The brake lights went off when the accelerator pedal was depressed.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the recall was closed and that the warranty expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.
Smell of fuel and see fuel leaking from fuel tank. Brake lights go on and off while driving.
Officer told me that the brakes would come on while driving and the brake lights would go off while braking. My cruise control no longer works and I have to push the brakes in further to get the car out of park. The officer stated that the vehicle is unsafe to be operating.
Abs and traction control warning light comes on intermittently. Driver unsure if car is ok or not. Both lites at the same time. Also, seatbelt warning lite/chime do not go away even when buckled.

Recently, I saw an article from a local news station regarding the attorney general going after local car dealerships for not disclosing or fixing recalls for cars sold off of their lot. I purchased my car in february 2015, with no knowledge of any issues or recalls. Upon placing my VIN number into the federal safety agency website, I discovered that I have three recalls that have affected my car, having to do with the brakes, transmission and power steering. My car has had issues with its brakes from the get-go, I even went back to websmart to have it fixed with my warranty. Mere weeks after getting it "fixed", the issues returned and I'm not sure if it has to do with this recall or not. My power steering has gone out on me three times while driving, in the little over two years that I have had the car. I am not sure what to do regarding this and could use some help. Thank you, matt.
My vehicle was recently taken to the dealership for a recalled part (brake lamp malfunction) and my vehicle is still locking up. After fixing the recalled part I have purchased a battery, a caliber, starter, and two hubs. My car is still not working it will function for a couple of miles perfectly, and then it returns to the same problems. First it will not gear up the car will be on drive and it will take a couple of minutes to catch, then the car will lock up and not be able to move. So I will have to get a tow service because the ABS system will lock the car and I cannot push it to a safe area.
Re: pontiac 2006 -g6 gt elect. System, elect. Stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control --- this car was recalled for above problems in 2014. At that time I brought car to dealer to be fixed, although the car was not in need of repair because no problems had existed, dealer stated he fixed all recall problems at that time. Now two years later I am experiencing all the listed problems above. I took car to mechanic where he did replace parts but still experiencing problem. It must go back to dealer so problem can be alleviated. Brake lights do not go on when braking also when applying gas they sometimes go on. Cruise control is also not working. What's to say that this problem was never fixed in 2014 when the car was recalled due to the fact that I wasn't having any issues at that time. Had do I know the work was ever done the first time around since I was not in the service area and I had no problems with the car. What's to say I was handed an itemized list of all corrected parts and indeed it was never fixed. I called pontiac and was told since it was replaced with recall I have to now pay out of pocket. According to the federal safety agency -they have been working to reduce deaths and injuries on the roadways to make it safer for the public. They also need to be on the customers side and not the side of the dealer.
Brakes lights work in reverse. While driving the brake lights are illuminated and when I put the brakes on the lights go dim. This is a safety issue. I recently purchased this car 2nd hand and was unaware of this problem.
The air bag doesn't work and the light flashes "service airbag," and, while pumping the brakes to stop, you have to pumps twice before the car reacts to the command. I had the pads replaced but the car operates the same as before.
Takata recall first noticed problem january 2012. I had to press on brake pedal really hard to shift out of park and brake pedal would make a noise when I first pushed on it. Cruise control would disengage while in use or would not work at all. Not sure if brake lights were improperly working at this time or not. Took car to gm dealership 3 times before it seemed to be fixed. Forward to october of 2015 and issue is back. The same symptoms but the only reason I discovered the brake lights constantly being on is I was at gas station and got out of my car as it was idle and in park to throw something away and noticed during the day my tail lights were on and very bright. Took it to a mechanic immediately and as I pushed on the brake pedal, my brake lights went off. The shop put in a new brake light switch and that did not fix the issue. Can.of drive the car as it is too dangerous.
Driving through the neighborhood when the powersteering on the car went completely out. I was unable to slow the car down to bring it to a safe park on the side of road. Instead I hit an embankment. The witness and police were not sure why my car did not flip over in other words I lost steering and brake power and the car was deemed as totaled.
This car has been nothing, but a dangerous headache. I was pulling out of my driveway and the brake fell off.. Glad no traffic was coming. Could not stop.. The a week later I am driving and the tire blew. Last weekend driving and lost all power. Not only did we get locked inside the car the serpentine belt was shriveled in pieces. It was horrible. Tell the dealer cause I'm making payments and they act as if the could careless.. The car has never been inspected. I had it looked at and was told the back accel is going to crash in and the electrical is bad it can cause a fire. Scare to drive it.
