2009 Pontiac G6: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Jun 8, 2024 · Acceleration, Electrical · WI

Timing Chain making noise...voltage fluctuations throughout all the car...cruise control will shut off if I got to use wipers or blinkers or even turn on the air system and lights will dim if you use power windows or have the radio up loud.

A friend following me 09-21-2016 noticed my brake lights were on constantly. Driving home that night I could tell the brake light stayed on, unless I was applying the brake and they would go off. Also cruise control would not work. Made an appointment with the local gm dealership where the car was purchased new for 09-27-2016. Dealership diagnosed car with a bad brake switch. Car was repaired and picked up on 09-30-2016 (brake switch replaced) cost 194.81. Drove the car on a 300 mile trip on 10-13-2016. Traction warning light would come on intermittently and when the light was on cruise control would not work. Also checked on brake lights and now they stay constantly. Traction warning light stays on constantly also now.. The car did go on for the recall notice back in 2014. We were not experiencing any problems prior to the last couple of months.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. While driving at any speed, the brake lights illuminated, which made it impossible for other drivers to know when the brakes were actually applied. The failure recurred several times. The failure caused the cruise control to malfunction without warning. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 113,000.

Brake lights are illuminated continuously unless the brake is applied (talk about safety hazard!), the cruise control will randomly disengage, and the traction control light will alarm and light up.

I've been replacing parts to try to solve the problem of why the brake lights stay on, the cruise control kicks off, the traction control stays on. All these problems are all at the same time.I get it fixed and then 3 weeks later its the same all over again but it keeps getting worse. Alot of people I know with this car keep spending money and it never gets fixed the right way. We all need a solution.

My g6 was recalled last year because of a problem with the bcm. The problem caused loss of traction control, cruise control and the lights to malfunction. Since my vehicle was fixed, I have experienced the same problem several times. A switch was replaced a few weeks ago and this took care of the problem temporarily. I am now being told the bcm needs to be replaced and will cost $800. The reason for the recall was "increased resistance in the bmc may result in voltage fluctuations". I do not understand why the recall did not include replacing the bcm. It is very scary and upsetting when the "service traction" warning appears while driving 70 MPH on the interstate at night and not knowing if the brake lights are on or not.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. Upon engaging the cruise control, it deactivated independently. The brake lights illuminated constantly when the brake pedal was not applied. 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), but did not receive notification of the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to a dealer to schedule the recall repair. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

My vehicle was recalled last year due to a problem with the body control module. I brought my vehicle to a local gm dealer to be "fixed" and now my car is having the exact same problems as before: loss of cruise control, malfunctioning brake lights, loss of traction control, difficulty shifting gear out of park position. These problems began occurring in 2013. Gm should have told customers that the "fix" was temporary, as I was almost rear-ended multiple times yesterday due to my brake lights malfunctioning. This is dangerous and someone could get injured or killed due to the issues with the brake lights. After receiving my recall notice and taking my car to be serviced, I thought I would never have to worry about this again. It turns out the mechanics at the gm dealer just cleaned the bcm and applied dielectric grease to it, which is what I had been doing before the recall even came up...it is insulting that they would consider this a "fix" and endanger their drivers, when they had to know that this would only help temporarily. It seems the entire bcm needs replaced to actually fix it, which is expensive. Gm should cover the cost of this, as I know I am not the only driver having repeat issues after having the car "fixed" during the recall. My car has now also lost power steering on more than one occasion (loss of power steering first occurred this year), and my headlights keep going out, even when the bulbs are brand new (this has been an ongoing issue for two years now). When I smack the headlights, they come back on. I see that other drivers are also having issues with their power steering and headlights, as well as with the bcm. I am disappointed that gm has not provided a permanent solution for these issues, and I do not always feel safe when driving this car.

I have been dealing with the issue of the service traction light coming on in my car, which will cause my cruise control to not work, and, my break lights to either stay on all the time, stay on while I'm driving, shut off while I break, or, just not come on at all. I have at the bcm module cleaned 3 times, this is only a temporary fix. I have completed the recall the gm finally did, this did not solve the issue either. I finally today had to get my entire bcm module replaced, and a very high cost! I think that the recall should have replaced these entirely, because, obviously what they are doing to fix the "recall" is not working!

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).
