While the car is stationary or moving the brake lights appear on but once pressure is applied to the brakes they turn off. Basically the opposite way the brake lights should be working.
2007 Pontiac G6 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 9: complaints 11 to 40 of 222, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall. I purchased the car the beginning of this year in january. When I test drove the car it was already making a loud humming noise that worsen. Once purchased and droved off lot I noticed that the cig lighter/battery charger didn't work even when I changed the fuse. The door locked on the passenger side got stuck, the brakes went out while driving, the windshield wipers stop working while driving in pouring rain and now out of nowhere the tire on the front passenger side is on a flat.
My brake lights come on when the brake pedal is not being touched and then go off when the brake pedal is being pushed. The brake pedal switch has been replaced along with various other attempts to fix the problem with no success.
For awhile now my check engine light has been on and my no traction control light has been blinking so I had a full diagnostic inspection done that read nothing. As a result, I had them do a fuel system cleaning since there is a small jerky feel every time I drive. I also had them do a break fluid exchange but the no traction control light still blinks. Along with that, most times after fueling up my car, my car drives well and just fine but on september 18th, after fueling up, I was turning into traffic proceeding to the farthest lane so that I can turn left into my apartments then pop! And the steering wheel locked and the gear had locked in drive. This scared me so bad so I braked in every way I could hoping I wouldn't crash then tried shifting gears and cranking my car again. I got into the gates and into the parking lot then my car stalled and cut off again. I finally parked my car, popped the hood, and there was nothing wrong that I could see from my view. So, the next day september 19th I drove to class that morning and it stalled a bit any time I increased my speed as if it wanted to cut off. I got into the parking lot of my college and it cuts off as soon as I begin to turn into a parking spot between two cars. I crank it up, complete my park then I go inside for class until lunch. On lunch, I crank up my car and wow the check engine light is finally off but as usual the no traction control light is blinking. I test drive my car to the local winn dixie and back and on the way back pop! Then it stalls to cut off but doesn't cut off so I take it back to my college before lunch is over and park it. Now it's the end of the day and I'm out of class and headed home. This time I make it into the gate but I'm getting close to going over a speed bump and pop! It doesn't cut off but it's stalls badly like it wants too so I proceed to drive then park it. Please, help.
When I was driving one day, my break lights turned on. I found this out because I couldn't turn on my cruise control. After a while I thought it was a fluke, but then people kept pulling me over telling me about my break lights. I was so angry that they kept coming on, I took my warranty I got in the mail and car to a gm dealer. They said they can't fix it completely but just recalculated the system to turn the lights off for a while. I'm so sick of my break lights coming on at random times. Sometimes its while im driving, and sometimes they are on already right after I turn on my key. I would really appreciate getting this fixed for free because I'm so worried I might get into an accident or harm someone else because they don't know if I'm stopping or driving. I want to keep me and my son safe.
Brake lights are working in reverse. The brake lights are on when you are not hitting the brakes and they go out when you hit the brake pedal. The 2014 recall did not fix the problem! It was merely a bandaid and temporary fix. On more than 1 occasion, I have seen the car behind me fly up on my rear end and have to slam on their brakes. This is a huge problem! I drive my vehicle with my children in it. It is only a matter of time before I get rear ended and someone gets seriously injured or worse. I have found multiple people complaining of the same issues on car forums, after having the recall done, so I know it is not just my car that has the problem. This needs to be addressed and fixed immediately!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact also stated that the gear shifter would engage into neutral, park, or drive independently. The failures occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bay ridge chevrolet (1575 86th street, brooklyn, ny 11228, 718‑232‑0186) where a diagnostic test located a failure code for the body control module, which needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The contact stated that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 80 MPH with the cruise control activated, the wheels locked up. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (webster city auto center, 129 2nd st, webster city, ia 50595) where it was diagnosed that the brake switch failed. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,202. The VIN was not available.
Brakes have been replaced four times in the last year and a half. Still not right. Every time I hit them hard they stick.
Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when I was driving and something broke,I think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when I don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when I was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about 0 to 40 day ago.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in operation, the brake lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times who had been unable to provide a solution. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where it was informed that further testing was required to determine the cause of the brake light failure. The vehicle was unable to be driven and parked due to the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
I received a letter from gm stating the body control module may not work properly and cause the brake lights to not function correctly. The lights can either stay on or not come on when the brakes are applied the letter says they will extend warranty coverage but not repair the car unless it actually fails. This is a safety concern and not acceptable. Gm should be made to correct the body control module and recall the vehicles. I cannot see the if the brake lights are functioning from the drivers seat.
"takata recall" I have contacted you on several occasions regarding this matter. The air bags and brakes (front/rear) are not working properly. The ab light continuously blanking the words "needs to be serviced" and I've had the brakes repaired and still hear a noise upon impact.
Power steering not working, brakes sometimes goes too low to the floor & pedel sensor has gone off making car accelerate at times.

When pressing the brakes in the car the brake lights would go off. Not notifying the vehicles behind me that I am stopping. When brakes is released the brake lights in the back of the car would then come on.
There was already a recall on the dysfunction of the brake lights. I got it fixed, according to the recall. All seemed well, but I am now about a year (longer?) after the recall and it seems to not have worked. I know, very well, of someone who owns a year later of the same car, had the same recall, and it also ended up going back to the malfunctioning. I know too well, a service isn't guaranteed after a year. Where does a recall, that didn't get fixed properly, have a time limit on getting fixed!
While driving on highway at 60 MPH on highway right line almost at my exit . The GPS fell from the window and must of hit the area of the shift column it didn't come out of drive though. The car shut off. I was able to move over to the shoulder push the flashes and emergency break when the brakes did not work just a large nose steering didn't work well. Bringing it to the dealership and have them check the steering column out again. This is the 2nd time the car shut off while driving I feel this is a part of the original recall in 2015 that listed this make, model and year pontiac g6 2007 massachusetts route 2 west leominster. Ma. Restarted the car, got to my destination, and drove home that night lower speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated on the vehicle. The brake lights would disengage when the brake pedal was depressed with great force. The failure was intermittent. The dealer diagnosed that the pedal position sensor needed to be replaced. The contact believed that the diagnosis was incorrect because the pedal position sensor had been replaced two weeks prior to the diagnostic test. The vehicle was serviced per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle.

My car was recalled due to brake lights coming on and losinig cruise control. Was repaired at my local gm dealership ion 9/04/2014 in compliance with safety recall. Recently the same problem started again. I took my care for the final recall to my dealership for the transmission shift cable and also reported to them the failure of the brake lights once again. I was told that that recall repair was done and they found nothing wrong, I responded with the part they fixed for this problem needs to be replaced because it failed again after the recall fix. They responded that the part was not replaced it was fixed with dialetic grease and a zip tie. Please check into this problem again for it seems like gm has just put a band aid on a gushing wound to avoid paying and fixing the problem permanently. And I am stuck either paying hundreds of dollars the dealer quoted or continue driving a car that could get me killed! For now the brake lights either stay on or may not work at all, even in park with the car idling they stay on until I tap the brakes then they sometimes do not come on when tapped again.
General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service ESC and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition. General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2008 my chevrolet malibu (gmx380) and 2005-2008 my pontiac g6 with 4-speed transmissions (mn5); except for vehicles already repaired under safety recall 12106 12v‑460 with labor code v2671 or v2672 and 2007 and some 2008 my saturn aura vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission (me7/mn5). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture at any time.

Takata recall for about a month now my vehicle has been randomly dying. I was on the highway when suddenly everything locked up I couldn't stop, couldn't brake, the engine seized and I was unable to restart the car. The steering wheel was moving in both directions by itself, then locked up. I had to get out and push the car into a safe place and was unable to re-start it.
When stepping on the brake to engage the car into drive a clicking is heard and then brake goes to floor. Brake lighting does not work all the time but is on and off. The was a recall on other g6 vehicles 14v252000 for this issue but the dealer states this vehicle is not included. The other recall is for the same issues.

We have been having trouble with car since we purchased it about a year or two ago we financed our threw browns auto world fayetteville, nc and since then we have trouble with the air bag light randomly coming and shutting off are brakes were put on backwards we also had alot of trouble with acceleration of the car you could only get up to a certain speed of the car before it began to shake, the end result being the camshaft sensor, and brakes. We have also had a situation with the fuel pump which a mechanic said was very weak from the begining. We have recieved several recalls on the car but everytime we took it gm motors they looked up the VIN and said our was fine but it matched was written on the recalls so my question is where do I go from here? What is my next step?

While driving down the highway the right front break caliper locked up without the brake being pressed. The vehicle started to slow down on its own and the front end was shaking very hard. We were in the fast lane on the highway when the brake locked up, when we stopped the right front brake caliper was locked in place and smoke was coming from the wheel. It has happened 6 times. 4 of those times were while driving down the highway shortly after cruise control was engaged. The other 2 times were while driving down the street in town. Pontiac was notified they paid for diagnostic in case it was related to a recent recall but did not pay for the repairs.
