2009 pontiac g6. Requesting reimbursement for repairs due to recall. *ta according to the repair invoice, the bcm shorted out. Recall #14v252000.
See the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 ; gm recall notice 13036 dated july 2014. I've been in two near rear end collisions due to brake light failure; I was pulled over by the police & told that my brake lights were staying lit while driving and then I was pulled over again & told that my brake lights were not lit up when I braking. I was able to show both officers the recall notice I received from gm & I was advised to get the problem fixed immediately as I was putting myself and others at risk of possible accident and injuries. While driving on the highway, the cruise control was enabled and would not disengage when I brake nor disengage when I pressed the on/off button. I had to cycle the key off/on in order to disengage the cruise control. Other times, the cruise will not engage when on/off button is pressed. I am also having issues shifting from park to drive or reverse, also e.s.c. Isn't working as it should, nor the panic brake assist features. Lights for e.s.c. Tcs randomly flash and flicker. All these are indications are consistent with the gm recall notice 13036. As stated before, I have almost been in two collisions and been pulled over twice. Contacted gm five times - case #[xxx] on file. Gm stated that my car must be serviced by local dealership but will not cover costs. The local dealer wants diagnostic fees up front, which I cannot afford. Gm hasn't notified dealerships of the recall 13036 to date. Do I need to be involved in an accident, harming myself and others, before this is addressed by gm? Does there have to be loss of life to get gm to fix the known issues outlined in recall 13036? How can I rely on safe transportation until this is fixed? In closing, I seek assistance in addressing the blatant disregard of public safety that gm has shown to me and other customers. I would like to get my car fixed at no cost to me. Help!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the contact was informed by another motorist that the brake lights on the vehicle were constantly illuminated. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The part for the repair was unavailable. The dealer was notified and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 08/11/14
While driving, the gas gage and MPH needles dropped to zero and the car could not drive forward. There was also an "error" notice flashing on the dashboard. It lasted for a fraction of second but kept doing it about every 20-30 seconds. I realized the theft protection light stayed on after startng the vehicle but when I went out yesterday the theft protection light was not on after starting the car. It came on suddenly while driving and I was unable to get the gas gage to work. It is lasting longer now also. I also noticed the traction control words showed up on the dash board this last time. Conditions were clear and dry. I did read the manual and checked the fuse as recommended. The fuse looks fine and for one whole day after removing and replacing the fuse I did not have the problem but the next time I drove, it was much worse as I mentioned above.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated without the brakes being engaged. Also, the contact mentioend that the cruise control became inoperable.the contact was made aware of a recall the federal safety agency campaign id number 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). However, the VIN was not included on the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
2009 pontiac g6 gt sedan. Intermittent problems with the following for the last year: brake lights come on when accelerating and turn off when braking (doing opposite of what they should be doing). Cruise control and traction control system both keep going out. Sometimes it's just the cruise control, other times the traction control system turns off first which in turn disables the cruise control. Whenever the cruise control starts going out, the brake lights start malfunctioning soon after. I suspect this is an issue with the bcm (body control module). Front drivers side headlight keeps going out, but the bulb isn't burned out. Replaced bulb twice. If I smack the plastic headlight cover, the light comes back on. The wires don't look damaged, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem with the headlight.
My brakes lights do not operate correctly. They either stay on completely or don't come on at all. I have had this fixed already, and it is still a problem. While the brake lights are not working, my cruise control will also stop working. My traction control is also starting to come on now, at the same time as the brake lights malfunction. The tc light will ding, and it says service traction then proceeds to turn it off.
During my 12 mile commute to work, while about 3-4 miles away, my cruise control will disengage and the brake lights will illuminate, I'm guessing simultaneously. During this time the cruise control will not reset. I can depress the brake pedal slightly and the brake lights will go off. I can reset the cruise at this time. Within moments, however, the brake lights will come on and the cruise control will disengage again. I have read numerous other complaints similar in nature.
I see that there is a recall for this very issue for years thru 2008. My brake lights are on when not braking and off when braking and of course the cruise control will not work during this issue. I see many complaints about this and I find it so hard to understand how this cannot be a safety issue and recalled to fix. I have almost been rearended many times and am wondering if someone has to be involved in a fatal accident before the nhsta forced the expansion of the recall to include all years that are having this issue.
I purchased this car in summer 2013. It was fine for a couple months then the cruise control started going out and the ESC and traction control would code at the same time. I searched on the internet and found the gm service bulletin that said to remove the connectors from the computer and apply dialectic grease due to corrosion. This would work 30 to 60 days then I would have to apply more grease. Before christmas I was driving home at night and noticed that my brake lights were stuck on. I found that this would often happen at the same time that the other problems would code and other times the brake lights would just come on. I have applied grease several times this winter and it doesn't work anymore. The ESC and traction control code at random times, and the cruise control becomes inoperable. The air bag light is now on and stays on. These are all annoying but the issue that scares me is the brake lights coming on at random times when I don't touch the brake pedal. That is obviously unsafe and I would hope that gm would step up and fix it. They wouldn't have issued the service bulletin if they didn't know there was a problem, and the dealership I purchased it from had smeared the connectors heavy with grease so they must have read the service bulletin too.
Brake lights would come on without depressing brake pedal and cruise would disengage. Dealer advised a pedal switch needed to be replaced to correct. Also need to have front rotors machined and back brake rotors replaced. Seems like low miles for the back brakes to need replacement (country/highway driving).
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the cruise control disengaged while it was set at 62 MPH. The failure was experienced several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, however the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the brake light failed and was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure and current mileage was 83,000.
When traveling above about 10 MPH the brake lights came on and the cruise control no longer worked. When the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights went out until the car slowed to about 10 MPH at which point the brake lights came back on. Braking was normal at all times. When pulling away from the stop, the brake lights came back on again around 10 MPH. The car consistently did this over a trip of about 60 miles. When I took the car into the dealer, the issue wasn't present. The dealer replaced the brake switch and lubricated a connection. The issue has returned 2 days later. This issue could become dangerous especially during braking above 10 MPH when following vehicles would not be aware that the car was braking.
The cruise control will work and then in the middle of driving it quits. This seems to be related to the brake lights not working properly. Also, seems related to these two messages some time coming on: "service traction" and "service ESC."
When I press on the brakes the brake lights don't come on and when I'm not pressing on the brake lights they are on. This seems to be connected to the cruise also kicking off at the same time.
My 2009 pontiac g6 rear brake lights are working opposite of how intended. When the brakes are not applied the brake lights remain activated, when I depress the brake pedal the brake lights turn off. The cruise control is also inoperative, most likely linked to the brake light issue. I called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle new and was told that nothing would be done about the issue because the warranty was over. I asked for information on how to repair the issue myself and was told none was available. Someone is going to get killed over this issue if fatalities have not already occurred.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the brake lights erroneously illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the brake lights failed to illuminate while decelerating and the cruise control failed to activate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Cruise control working and then all the sudden turns off and sometimes will not set unless you lift up on the brake pedal and/or after car has been turned off it seems to reset?!!
2009 pontiac g6 I got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so I pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When I got out of my car I noticed that the brake lights were on so I went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as I turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if I hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when I realized that the brake lights come on when I drive but when I hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and I saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so I'd rather get this fixed now. Please help. Thanks!
I noticed that the cruise control was not working, soon after that someone told me that my brake lights are on most of the time, only going off occasionally. I have tested it, and you can put the car in park and watch the lights go from off to on with out touching the break petal. (they stay on) I am going to take it in for service tomorrow. I have found out this is not an uncommon problem. This should be a recall issue. I know this problem is under investigation. There are tons of complaints.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the passenger and driver door locks failed to function properly. The vehicle decelerated without any warning on several separate occasions. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
Tail lights continue to stay on. The traction control says it needs to be serviced. The cruise control does not work. Same as earlier model g6's. Same as #08-05-22-009a.
When I press my brake pedal the lights go off but the rest of the time my lights are on (when I am not pressing the brake pedal) which has almost caused several accidents because the people behind me cannot tell when I am braking. It also causes me not to be able to use my cruise control because my cruise control thinks that I am hitting the brake which automatically turns off the cruise control.
While driving, cruise control will disengage and brake lights will flair on. Than when tap brakes, brake lights will shut off. Within a couple seconds, they will turn back on. When actually going to press on the brakes, have no brake lights than. This has also happened without using cruise control, just driving in general. Break lights will come on, than when press on the brake, they shut off. Couple seconds later, come back on. This is a huge safety issue while driving at night time(or during the daytime), not having brake lights when stopping. Do not feel safe driving with my children in the car. I have looked online, and found that I am not the only one having this issue: http://www.g6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6657 is a forum/thread of various g6 owners complaining about this issue and also believes they have come up with what the problem is. From what it sounds like, its a connector with the bcm (body control module) and it developing corrosion.
