Our 2007 g6 has a safety problem that results in the brake lights being on when the brakes are not applied and off when you apply the brakes. We have also experienced cruise control drop out at speed several times as well as difficulties shifting into drive unless extreme pressure is applied to the brake pedal. All three of these concerns line up with the federal safety agency campaign id number 09v036000 however our vehicle was built after the recall period. Gm has been notified of the concern but reports that there are not recall notices or service bulletins for this vehicle. All three symptoms indicate that the recalled connector sited in 09v03600 continues to be a safety concern for vehicles manufactured after the recall period of 2005-2006. Related to, but witnessed before, the brake light problems on our vehicle I followed a g6 on i75 north of auburn hills mi that had it's brake lights illuminated while at speed but they turned off when the driver slowed due to traffic. This is a concerning safety problem that must be addressed.
2007 Pontiac G6 brakes complaints

Brakes lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 are working incorrectly. The brake lights are one when I'm accelerating and off when I'm actually braking. The shifter is also hard to get out of park and the cruise control works on and off. This is the exact same problem as the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v‑036.
The federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v036000 unfortunately does not cover 2007 model year pontiac g6 vehicles and I am experiencing the exact same issue. This is a safety hazard with the potential for major injury. The brake lights come on at random and turn off when the brake pedal is pressed. From your own bulletin: brake lamps that are not operating properly may not warn a driver in a following vehicle of the braking status and could lead to a crash without prior warning. All pontiac g6 models should be included due to the safety issue at hand.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and the brake lights stay on when driving down the road and when I hit the brakes the lights go off. People driving behind have no idea when im actually stopping. Also the cruise control will sometimes engage and sometimes it wont. This is a serious problem and pontiac needs to recall the 2007 or someone could get killed.
the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2007 G6.
Brake lights reversed on pontiac g6 2007, brakes hard to engage. Second time it has happened to my vehicle in less than a year without proper diagnosis or repair.
Brake lights on when brakes aren't pressed, and go off when pressed. Cruise disengages while driving. Brake switch and relay have been replaced and problem still occurs. Appears to be an electrical issue.
I bought my 2007 pontiac g6 feb. 2007. Just about a week ago (june 2, 2010) I was told my brake lights were on when I wasn't braking. When I do brake, the brake lights go off. I took my car to the dealer and they said it was the brake switch. Well, it's not. I am still having the same problem and I need to take it back to get it fixed. This is dangerous to myself and other drivers. There should be a recall on this problem for all 2007 pontiac g6's.
2007 pontiac g6 have the same brake light problems as the 2005 and 2006 cars. Why are the 2007's not included in the recall?
When brakes are applied, vibrations travel through steering column. The vehicle can not stop suddenly if required due to loss of control of the vehicle.
Brake light stay turned on when I press the pedal the turn off but then turn back on. Im sure it the same problem from the 05-06 g6.
In attempting to slow down on an exit ramp, the brakes locked causing the rear end to fish tail. After trying to maintain control of the car, the car went off the road and struck a cement post where a light pole used to be. The insurance company had to total the car. This also occured about six months ago, when the brakes locked and, fortunately, the car was stopped without damage at that time.
My car is a 2007 pontiac g6 v6 that has brakelamp issues. When I drive the brakelamps come on and when I brake, they go off. This has been occurring for over the last 3 months every time that I drive the vehicle. I replaced the brakelight switch, however that has not fixed the problem.
Automobile purchased as new. Rotors not vented properly and were replaced with brake pads at 32,200 miles. Insisted that dealer/pontiac corporate handle under warranty. At 32,900 miles car stopped at light and did not advance when accelerator was depressed. The transmission required full replacement because the sprag "blew up" and was covered under power train warranty. Will never lease or buy pontiac again.
The rear brakes of my 2007 pontiac g6 value leader worn out prematurely. I bough the car in october 2007, as brand new, from a gm dealer in toronto canada. The rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced by the dealer with new ones, at 23700 km only due to premature wear.
2007 pontiac g6 have the same brake light failure as the 2005 and 2006 cars why are the 2007s not included in the recall.
2007 pontiac g6 brake lights come on while driving and go off when brakes are applied. I have read several complaints from others owners that are having the same issue. This is a big safety concern and needs to be looked into at once. We have been told twice by the dealer that it is fixed but once we leave the dealer the brake lights start acting up once again. This should be a recall in which pontiac should have to pay for to fix right. So far I have not read of any deaths from this issue but I can assure everyone if there is an accident that happens from this issue there will be legal actions!
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. When attempting to turn the steering column, the contact heard a loud noise and the steering became difficult to maneuver. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failures. In addition, the brake pedal pulsates abnormally when it is depressed. The rotors have been replaced several times. The vehicle has not been inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer would not assist because the vehicle exceeded its warranty. The failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 60,000.
Brake lights on my 2007 pontiac g6 are malfunctioning. The brakes stay on when not applied and go off when applied. I noticed the problem about 2 months ago. I have looked on the internet and found many other people with the same issue. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be looked into. Frankly , I am surprised there is not a recall in place for this problem already , especially given the amount of complaints that I have come across. In my opinion this is a design flaw and the customer should not be responsible for fixing the car manufacturers mistake.
2007 pontiac g6 convertible - brakes squeak and car shakes when brakes applied. Taken to the dealer twice, they sprayed something on them and told me it was because I live in a "humid" state. This has been going on for a year now and it happens daily. The dealer refuses to do anything to correct the problem.
Brakes became spongy then had problems stopping the car. The problem is that the brakes have an open design and uses inferior brake pads. With the open design the disc rotors then corrode from the weather and become pitted and tear the inferior pads to pieces resulting in brake failure.
Dont want to pick up speed hasitates to switch gears,clicking sound when I turn my stearing wheel,all togather runs like '!@#$%.
At approximately 35,980 miles I began getting 'clunking' noises from my steering at low speeds and while turning. This is apparently a very common problem with the pontiac g6. It is appears to be a problem with the steering column. Unfortunately I will have over 36,000 miles on the vehicle by the time I can get it to a dealership. This is a manufacture defect which if not addressed will eventually cause injury or death if not addressed by your office. A redesign and recall is required for this issue. Does someone have to die for action to be taken? Additionally, the factory brakes on the vehicle are very cheap. Vented rotors are needed because they warp at approximately 20,000 miles due to heat.
As a consumer I am writing you this letter to lodge a complaint for the car/lemon I have been leasing. The type of car I am leasing is a 2007 pontiac g6 4 door sedan, #. Since leasing this vehicle I have many concerns of not only my own safety but the safety of other people on the road. Here are the following issues since leasing this car: 1.replaced signal switch located on steering column on 1/16/08 2.replaced right visor for mirror on passenger side of car 1/16/08 3.replaced broken cable for right rear window regulator on 3/14/08 4.replaced steering column on 7/28/08 5.replaced front brakes with high end pads estimated date 8/08 6.replaced rear left bulb for brake lights estimated date 10/08 7.about a month after steering column was replaced the steering column again was making a clicking sound when turning right and left at a slow rate of speed. 8.instead of replacing the steering column they chose to lube intermediate steering shaft instead on 1/20/09 and I will have to keep coming in when the lube wears off!! Really me having to come in every month or so!! That was their response to me!! 9.replaced radio because it didn?t come on when I turned on the car the display was blank. Would eventually turn on when it wanted to replaced on 1/20/09 also in researching the steering column problem some peoples steering wheels have locked up and they were almost involved in accidents and said in there complaint does somebody have to be killed before gm has a recall on these cars?? It has been a known issue since the first model year 2005 has come out. Per dominic torres my sales rep this has been a known issue but there have not been very many complaints lodged for any recall. Per dominic it is because the steering column is electrical instead of using fluid and the design was changed in the 2008 model year. Gm has contacted me and said they are not willing to lease a new car to me to replace this one. It will be re-poed shortly.
Front rotors poor heat disbursement warped and needed turning @ 20,000 km. Mechanic admits stock rotors are easily warped advised to buy after market rotors in the future.
My brake lights aren't working correctly. When I am driving and push the brake the lights to stop they don't turn on, then when I take my foot off the brake and hit the gas (nothing touching the brake pedal) the brake lights are coming on while I am driving and when I got to stop and push down the brake they turn off ... Its like they are working backwards....I have taken it to pontiac dealer a few times and they say nothing is wrong with it. My daughter drove behind me today and witnessed the vehicle doing this for over a 10 mile drive w/ several stop lights in between and cars were slowing down while I was driving cause the brake lights were one when I didn't hit the gas and they thought I was stopped and I had nothing touching the brake pedal!! Its dangerous for everyone near me!!! This is like the 3rd or 4th time its happened. I have police officer friends that have noticed it as well, still pontiac refuses to acknowledge the issue. See this website below to see how much it happens!! Pontiac refuses to find a fix for it!! Go down to post # 24 and read from there like 6-7 pages of complaints http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f6416/10.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact noticed a vibration in the steering wheel while driving between 55-70 MPH. The dealer stated there was no warranty on the vehicle and the issue was considered normal wear and tear. The dealer also stated that a vented rotor was needed in order to keep it cooler. The contact replaced the rotors with a factory model. Two months later, the rotors began to pulsate again. The vibration could be felt through the steering wheel. The failure mileage was 29,000.
I've had my 2007 pontiac g6 in the shop several times for brake "issues". They changed pads, rotors and told me they couldn't stop the squeaking and that the strange "jumping" the brakes seemed to do was "normal" for ABS - which I know is not correct as I have owned many cars with ABS that didn't feel like this. Recently, the traction control light came on, the brakes failed, the emergency brake failed and we hit the back of another car. Gm sent an engineer out to look at the event data recorder; however, would not provide me with a copy of the report (they said it was "proprietary"). They are refusing to fix my car and when I asked why the traction control light came on, their "professional" told me "I don't know - I wasn't there!". I've seen several complaints on edmunds.com about the rotors, over-heating problems and the need to have them replaced with non-gm parts to (hopefully) fix the problem. This is a major safety concern for me and I intend to dispose of the car as soon as possible.
Passenger window has extremely bad whistle road noise. I have reported this to the dealer 4 times! They cannot seem to fix this issue. As a result, it has rained inside of my vehicle causing both seatbelts to mildew. The dealer has replaced both seatbelts. Also, the brakes have squealed since I bought the car brand new in 2007! The dealer cannot seem to get this taken care of either.
Pontiac g6 developed violent vibration when braking at highway speeds. Brake repair shop reported that the rotors had warped due to excessive heat. Also stated this is a frequent problem they see happening every 14,000 to 19,000 miles on many g6's. Further reviews of internet forums show many similar experiences. Brake rotors needed to be turned and will need replacement next time. Informed rotors should be a vented style to help with cooling.
