I was driving approximately 35-40 MPH approaching an intersection with a stop sign, (which can sneak up on you if you are not familiar with the area, which I am), and applied my brakes to slow for the sign. The vehicle behind me did not appear to be slowing, and then I hear brakes screeching. The vehicle did manage to stop before hitting me; however, I was rattled. After the almost crash, the driver pulled alongside me and informed me that my brake lights were out. Because it was daylight, I went home to investigate, placed my vehicle in park with the engine running, and observed the brake lights were illuminated. When I applied the brake, my fiance observed the brake lights go off. Unfortunately, I am familiar with this problem and have taken my vehicle into the dealership on two prior occasions to have the issue fixed. Apparently it wasn't and is still a problem with the 2007 pontiac g6's.

I work nights and noticed my tail lamps were really bright when I drove by reflective signs. Though I didn't think much at the time this continued. I stopped for gas one morning when I couldn't get my car from park to drive. I really had to mash the brakes down to get from park to drive. I recently was pulled over due to my tail lights not working correctly. The police officer noticed that my tail lights were lit up while driving and would turn off when I came to a stop at the light and when he pulled me over. He didn't ticket me but wanted to let my know about the issue. I looked for recalls and sure enough my 07 g6 was on the recall list but apparently it's VIN specific. I even took it to the local gm dealer, kerry chevrolet, and they couldn't find any recalls with my car. The person at the dealer ship gave me gm's number and even they told me I probably shouldn't drive the car. Though all my issues are on the recall from the federal safety agency campaign number 14v252000 my car is not included in the recall. Nor is the transmission cable thing. I won't go into this. This is a problem waiting to happen. Gm should make this right and all inclusive for all model years that are affected by this not just VIN specific. I've been loyal to you for many years but maybe not for long!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing failures identical to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000: (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). While driving various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate and, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights would dim. Additionally, it was difficult to shift the gear out of park. While driving various speeds, the cruise control would disengage. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic for diagnostic testing, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 85,000.
I used to work late nights, and while driving home one night I noticed my brake lights were really bright. When I pushed the brake pedal down my brake lights would turn off. I also have problems pulling my car from park to reverse or drive. It makes me really nervous to drive and it seems as though it just keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do or even how to fix it. I really can't find anybody who knows how to fix it. Everything I've looked up is just a temporary fix. It's just extremely frustrating, and I really don't want to end up with a huge ticket or getting into an accident because of it.

My g6 sports convertible has a tendency to lock me in the car.. It has a retractable roof and the windows function up and down and inch for security reasons when using the roof.. On such day, I was not using the roof and pulled in my driveway and put it in park and the driver door locked me in... Would not let me open the door .. I turned off the radio thinking it may have something to do with it but didnt.. The only door that would open was the passenger side door.. If that would not have let me out I would have been locked inside my vehicle.. Also, the traction light comes on when I didnt even have it on.. In summer I do not use the traction feature, onlyif it is raining hard. Three times for the light and two times now locking me in.. I contacted a pontiac service rep and he said I probably have a door lock defect. After many attempts once getting out of the car through the passenger side may I note that the key would not even unlock the door.. Makes me feel petrified that I am going to be locked in my car and I am claustrophobic.. Please gm look into this issue.. Thirdly there is a hiss that is coming from the motor and all is fine under the hood, the car is practically new at 22000 miles and these things should not be occuring.. At the time of this incident my car was not in the recall.. Now it is! Help!
Upon starting the vehicle the passenger low beam did not illuminate. Changed the bulb, did not help. Checked the wiring and the connection between the bulb and the wiring was melted. Replaced the entire headlight assembly which solved the issue for a month. One of the connections on the female terminal of the wiring harness to the assembly has corroded and causes the light to short. This has made driving difficult if not impossible at night.
The brake lights come on, and stay on, while driving and go off when the brake pedal is depressed. (exactly the opposite of the way it should) when parked, the brake lights will stay on unless the brake is fully depressed to the floor. (something that can not be done while driving) once it is released, they will continue to stay on, even when brake pedal is not depressed. This is very dangerous and after reviewing the multitude of complaints this appears to be a common issue with g6 cars.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving various speeds and depressing the brakes, the brake light failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring problem. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the vehicle was repaired with dielectric grease. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
The brake lights on my pontiac g6 2007 do not function correctly. When driving they stay on, when pressing on the brake they go out. My cruise control does not work either. I have changed the brake light sensor five times and it works for a day or so, and goes out again. I have read that other customers have this problem as well. It is very dangerous.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 and I am having issues with the brake lights malfunctioning. The brake lights will come on when I am not pressing down the brakes and when I do press on the brakes the brake lights go off. This just started to happen. I had it in a repair garage and they said they fixed it by putting in a new switch but it is still the same. My research says this has happened to others. I think gm should recall and fix before something happens. Who can help?
Brake lights sometimes do not work. Other times they are on w/o pressing the brake, then they go off when pressing the brake.
While I was driving down road which I had my cruise control, cruise control turned off by itself. Found out that my brakes are staying on and not turning off. They have been staying on or they turn on when I hit gas and turn off when I hit the brake. This has been happening for months!!!!!!!!!!!
2007 pontiac g6 gt. When I am not pressing the brake pedal the lights remain on as if I were braking. When the brakes are depressed, the lights turn off. Condition has been continually occurring and I fear it may present itself one day resulting in an accident.
Brake lights were coming on with out hitting the brakes. I was driving down the highway and people were yelling at me that the brake lights were constantly on. I pulled it into the shop and they were on when they shouldn't be and went off when I hit the brakes. The cruise control will not engage. I have had the brake light switch replaced and it is still doing the same thing.
While driving home from work on the interstate my brake lights came on without any application to the brakes and my cruise control dis-engaged. My brake lights remained on all the way home and my cruise control would not work. The next day they were working normal at first and then the same thing happened again.
2007 pontiac g6 (value leader 4 cyl,) brake lights come on while driving and go off when stepping on the brake. Shifting from park difficult at times while stepping on the brake. Brake lights sporadically work properly.
2007 pontiac g6 I've had since 2009. Within the last year or two, the brake lights appear to be on while the brake is not being pressed. Once the brake pedal is pressed, lights go off then take a couple seconds and turn back on. Dangerous for drivers behind since they can't tell when I am actually braking or not. It basically just seems like I am riding the brakes constantly!
The car's brake light doesn't work properly. The brake light may be on when I'm not pressing the brake, but it may or may not goes off when I press it. My friends drove behind us and he can't judge if I'm braking or not according to the brake light. It would be dangerous when I drive on highway.
A couple of times this past year after my vehicle hit 75k miles, my steering has locked up causing me to have to pull on the wheel very hard just to make the turn which a bit of a concern. Thankfully no accident resulting from this. I have not had this problem in the last couple of months. However I have also had an issue with the brake lights. A friend who was following me advised that my brake lights were turning on even when I wasn't braking. Additionally, in july of 2013 (my vehicle was at about 70k miles) we began smelling gasoline coming from the vehicle. We took it to get the car repaired and the mechanic identified that my fuel pump was leaking gasoline and had to be completely replaced which cost about $1000. My check engine light has now come on again and I am taking it this week to get it inspected. The car jerks when moving it from park into gear, and when driving the timing seems to be off when accelerating.
Every so often, either when I first start my g6 or after its been driving for awhile, the brake lights will come on even when the brake pedal is not being pressed. When this happens, it pulls me out of cruise control, because it thinks I'm braking, and cars behind me will honk and flash their lights. I read that this was a recall on 2005 and 2006 pontiac g6s but I believe this problem went into the 2007 model year also. This happens several times a year at random, although if there's been rain or snow, it seems to happen more frequently.
