Brake lights stay on . This only happens after the car has been driven 10+ miles.at this point the cruise control disengages and the manual shift feature won't work. I took it to a pontiac dealer (now a buick gmc dealer) 2 times and spent $250.00 on repairs with no success. Dealer says he has no idea. This is a serious safety matter. The g6 owners club is getting more and more complaints of this every day.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated when the brakes were not applied. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where the dealer replaced the brake light sensor, but the repair did not remedy the issue. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer for a diagnostic test but the test results did not show any defects. The failure mileage was 107,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact was notified by another driver that the exterior brake lights were remaining illuminated while driving. The contact stated that the cruise control would not engage and when parked, he had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to move the gear shifter out of park. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics where the mechanic advised that the brake switch would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v036000 (exterior lighting:brake lights) that but was advised by the manufacturer that the recall was only for the 2005-2006 model g6. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
My driver's side headlight went out on 2/3/11 at 56,000 miles. I replaced the bulb. On 8/22/11, my passenger side headlight went out at 60,000 miles. I replaced the bulb. On 9/26/11, my driver's side headlight went out at 61,000 miles. I replaced the bulb. I purchased the bulb from auto zone and the manager there told me he has had 10 customers with pontiac g6 vehicles come in reporting that the headlight bulbs continually go out. On 10/1/11, the driver's side headlight went out again at 61,300 miles. On 10/4/11, the passenger's side headlight went out at 61,400 miles. I called pontiac corporate and they claim this is not a known issue with this vehicle. I took my vehicle to firestone and they found a short in the headlight assembly. The headlights are working fine now. Firestone said this is the 3rd pontiac g6 they have repaired with the same exact problem. In addition, I have been stopped by the police twice for having my headlight out. Both times I was not aware that the headlight was out. I consider this a safety issue and I feel there should be a recall for this problem. If or when there is a recall, I'd like pontiac to reimburse me for the repair.
Exterior brake lights illuminate when not pressing the brake pedal. Exterior brake lights shut off when pressing on the brake pedal.
The brake lights on my car come on when I am not pressing the brake. I can be driving and they will come on by themselves, I can tell because the cruise control will dis engage and will not re engage. It took me a while to isolate the problem to the brakes, I had to have someone follow me in order to tell me when it was happening. It poses a safety risk because, you have you brake lights on all the time so cars behind you don't know when you are actually stopping.
2007 pontiac g6. Consumer writes in regards to recall concerning brake lights dielectric grease *tgw the consumer stated he noticed the brake lights were on, when the brake was not being applied, the cruise control would not engage and it was difficult to get the vehicle out of park. Other times the brake lights would not come on when the brake was applied. The consumer discovered recall# 09v036000 which was issued on jan 28, 2009 to address the very same problem. The recall was for the 2005- 2006 and not the 2007 models which were built in late 2006. The problem was fixed by applying dielectric grease to the c-2 connector, which was the very same fix for the recall.
The brake lights will turn themselves on intermittently without your foot on the pedal. This happens at all different speeds and even when the car is parked and all passengers have left the vehicle. Tapping the brake will turn the lights off but sometimes only for a few seconds. I've tried lubricating the electrical connections on the bcm and I've replaced the brake lights. Both fixes only worked temporarily.

Rear break lights not working, break light lamp switch failure.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 sedan. Last year my exterior braike lights were struck on. I had my brack switch replaced and had the bcm reprogrammed. It has not even been a year and now my brake lights are struck on again. When I'm driving the lights are on and when I push on the brake they go off. This a safety hazard and very costly seeming how I have to keep getting this issue fixed. I read on the internet this problem exist for many people. Why haven't this been recalled?
I purchased a brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in 2008. The passenger side airbag light is always on. I had to replace the brake pads at 20,000 miles and the brakes are still giving me problems. When I turn the steering wheel, the car makes a crackling, loud sound. The headlight plugger had to be replaced due to them being burned out. I am very unhappy with this car. I am a single mother and I am sorry I did not research this car beforehand. I would not recommend this car to anyone. I took the car to the dealer and the price they will charge to fix everything is too expensive for me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake lights would illuminate even though the brakes were not engaged. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were approximately 81,000.
The brake lights turn on when the pedal is not depressed, causing motorists behind me to think I am braking. Also causing the cruise control to not come on when needed. This is a major safety concern and since there is already a recall for this issue with the previous year, the recall should be modified to include the 2007 model year. I have done alot of research and it seems to be a problem with alot of 2007 model year cars.

2007 pontiac g6 gt convertible. Brake lights stay on until brake pedal is depressed then brake lights go off. I have nearly been rear-ended several times because of this. My vehicles symptoms are identical to the 2005-2006 g6's that had a recall for the problem. Local gm dealer stated my vehicle is not on recall and all repairs will be billed. Contacted gm customer service and was told the same thing.

Recently purchased 2007 pontiac g6. Have been notified by other motorists my brake lights don't work when stopping at an intersection, and then come on when accelerating away. *tr brake lights illuminated when brake pedal is not depressed, and no brake lights when brake pedal is depressed. Happens sporadically. Brake lights have illuminated when running and in park with nobody in the vehicle. I can tell when the brake lights are on during the day if I am on the highway trying to use the cruise control, if it doesn't engage the brake lights are on. At night when there is nobody behind me I can see the bright reflection in my rear view mirror if the brake lights have illuminated on there own. New brake pedal position sensor installed and calibrated at gm dealership 12-29-2010. Currently working properly to the best of my knowledge.
I have an 07 g6 that is having the same issues with brake lights, cruise, and shifting out of park that the 05-06 g6's are. We've had the brake switch changed twice and it hasn't fixed the problem. Even with the brake switch unplugged the brake lights stay on.
2007 pontiac g6 base model, brake light says on continuously while driving. Goes off when brake pedal depressed ,dealer has looked at car twice problem still not fixed.
We have a 2007 pontiac g6 convertible. I was following my spouse home and noticed the brake lights on when he was driving but they went off every time he braked to turn a corner, stop at a light, or slow down when behind another car. I can't believe that there is a recall for only 2005 - 2006 pontiac g6 with this problem but none for 2007 owners. It's obvious the 2007 pontiac g6 owners have the same problem which gm needs to acknowledge and fix (for free.)
10/5/10 I was going to have work done on my pontiac g6 2007 base model, I was following behind my car while I was driving another vehicle and saw that my brake light were on while driving and not when stop. On 10/06/10 I went to a gm dealer and had sensor repair and brakes recalibrated. Tonight 10/22/10 at 9:05pm I was pulled over by and officer who stated he saw my brakes were on while driving and not when stopping. I wanted to be refunded for what I pay to fix it and have gm fixed it free of charge..because it's a safety issue I will have to take it to the dealership monday morning and be charged again....someone needs to contact me and I wanted refunds for me having to take it twice to get fix, refund me for both....
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brakes lights would only illuminate and remain illuminated when depressing the accelerator pedal. The brake lights would not illuminate when applying the brakes. In addition, the rotors and brakes needed replacing at 19,000 miles. The tires were also wearing prematurely. The brake lights were repaired under warranty. There were no further repairs. The VIN was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 21, 000.
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 has problems with the brakes lights not working properly. Same problems as tsb-08-05-009a but, not covered under recall. Hard to shift from park, brake lights working intermittently.
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.
the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON MY 2007 G6.
Brake lights stay on while driving and go off when stopping. I have almost been in several accidents from behind. Other drivers have told me about this and I let them know I know. It has been looked at twice at a delaership and "fixed" but then begins again within the week. I do not want to get killed due to this faulty system but do not know what else to do.
Brake lights stay on while I am driving but go off when I press the brake pedal. Then brake lights turn back on after about 10-15 seconds.
