2007 Pontiac G6 lights complaints
Page 7 of 9: complaints 161 to 190 of 232, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I bought this car used, and have since had nothing but electrical problems with it. I had the wiring housing for my headlight replaced and still have issues. My brake lights? Where do I start? I have had the brake light switch replaced at least twice and they still do not work right. They work in reverse most of the time. The brake lights stay on while I'm driving, and when I stop they turn off, or they just go on and off at will.
Had car parked and noticed my brake lights were on. Pressed brake pedal and depressed it and the lights went off only to come back on. Affects my third brake light as well. Happens in the daytime as well as night. Sporadic. Was told my brake lights are on when in motion and turn off when stopped. Worried I might get in an accident or get pulled over.
Brake lights stay on while pressing gas...when pressing brake they shut off. When this problem is occurring you have to press real hard to get out of park to drive. This is a serious issue which where the brake lights doesn't warn other drivers when stopping which could lead to a crash. There hasn't been any accidents reported yet what I have read but I do believe this issue needs to be resolved before you do have a accident. I would hate to see this not get recalled and kill someone over a simple fix.

I noticed that my brake lights will stay on when the brakes are not engaged and when I press down on the brake pedal the brake lights turn off. Once I depress the pedal the brake lights will go on again. This will happen on random occasions, sometimes the brake lights work fine and then sometimes they malfunction. I have also noticed that sometimes the cruise control will not engage while other times it will. There have been two occasions where the cruise control disengaged while traveling on the highway.
My pontiac g6 has had an exterior lighting issue since august of 2012. Pontiac will not help me fix this. The brake lights do not work when you press the pedal and turn on without the pedal being pressed. My cruise control no longer works period. A gm technician looked at my car and could not find anything that he could do to fix it. When he used the tech 2 tool, he would try and turn one tail light on and the opposite would turn on instead. Pontiac will not even look at my car at any dealer for free. They want me to pay and maybe get reimbursed for it. I have many issues with my car but this is the worst. My panoramic sun roof leaks and makes a ton of noise while I drive. The sun shade fell off on it as well.
Cruise control turns off mid driving sometimes, and at times doesn't work at all. Brake lights come on at random times and sometimes stay on while im driving. They turn off when I actually do push the brakes. The problem is constant and has happened many many times.
The cruise control kicks off for no apparent reason. This happens all the time. We wanted to let you know because we read that the federal safety agency is considering a recall on all 05 to 09 models. The turn signals also do not turn off automatically and I've heard this is a fairly common problem on these cars.
The brake lights fail to operate correctly causing them to go on without braking and are often not illuminated while braking. The brake light failure also causes the stability control to shut off.
Low beam headlights went out at same time, not the bulbs or the anyone of the 3 fuses. Wiring harness is corroded. Unusual problem for a 2007 vehicle.

There is a current recall on the brake lights of the 2005-2006 g6 cars, the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v036000. But there are a lot of owners of 2007 cars that are having the exact same issues but we can not get the fixes applied to our cars because it's not covered in the recall dates....you guys should really think about things before you randomly slap a date on things. I bought my g6 in dec of 2006, I have had issues with the sunroof, the right side headlight wiring melted, the brake lights are coming on by themselves and we are on our third engine, which the dealership said was because we did not change the oil, but they did the oil changes. I am tired of pouring money into this crappy car, the least you guys could do is realize that there were probably some of the same parts on the floor when the next years models were started and the first few months of the next year after they changed the parts are most likely going to be affected by the issues and should be included in the recall.
Brake lights don't illuminate when applying the brake. Also they illuminate when in park or when pressing the gas. We just bought the car on saturday (9/15/12) and my husband noticed that the brake lights were on the entire time I was driving on the highway. So when we got home, I called the dealership. They told me to bring the car in. We picked it up again on monday night and they said it was fine. Tues, I was stopping at a light and the car behind me skidded to a stop but swerved away from hitting me. The next day I made my husband check the lights, and again the same issue was happening. I emailed the dealership and they said to bring the car in again. So I did and the service guy said there is a problem with this in many g6's. He replaced some brake switch or something and did what was recommended by pontiac but said he wants to keep it overnight and see if it happens again tomorrow. I'm very concerned b/c I have 3 young children who are in the car with me and I'm afraid to drive the car b/c if the brake lights don't illuminate, I will definitely get hit. There is no recall that I can find re: this issue and it looks like there is no fix. I haven't even owned the car a week and I drove it for three days. The shop has had it for 4 days.
Low beam sockets would get extremely hot and ended up warping the original socket had to replace new head light sockets and went thru about 8 headlights atleast until new headlight sockets were replaced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While examining the vehicle the contact noticed that the passenger side head light bulb connector was melted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 64,000.
Was moving in traffic was approching red light, person in car next to me said my brake lights were on while I was moving but went off just before I stoped at light. This has been a problem for a few years now I was following my wife on my motorcycle for twenty miles and the brake lights stayed on till she slowed down for stop signs and red lights, the brake lights went off when she stoped, after she moved forward a few seconds the brake lights came on again. This car has been to dealer for this problem 2 times ajusted brake peddle switch and used crossion control on wires problem not fixed.
I own a 2007 pontiac g6. The front driver's side headlight stopped illuminating. I replaced the bulb myself. Approximately two days later the headlight failed. I noticed that the connector had melted. I am not alone with this problem. I checked other websites and have found other pontiac g6 owners with the same problem. One year ago the passenger side connector cable had melted. I re-connected the cable myself. I have not had problems with that side yet. Went to the dealership and they told me that they have not received a recall notice. Please help! This is a safety issue. My daughter drives this car to school and work.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 45 MPH with the headlights activated, the contact noticed that the driver's side headlight failed to illuminate.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated to the contact that the wiring harness connector was melted and the headlight would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired.

The brake lamps to illuminate when the brake pedal has not been depressed, or the lamps may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. In addition, the cruise control may not engage, and greater brake pedal force may be required to shift the vehicle out of park.
Brake lights stay on even with no pressure on the brake pedal. The cruise will not stay engaged when this happens. People following me have told me I should not ride my brake as they can't tell when I am going to stop. The brake lights staying on is intermittent, it can happen with the car in park and at various speeds. This is a safety concern. My research has identified that there has been many complaints for this and that a recall is available for 2005 & 2006, our 2007 has the same problem and needs to be included in the recall.
