Filed Jun 21, 2018 · Brakes, Electrical · 85,230 miles · OH

My brake lights come on and stay on when no one is in the car. They stay on as your going down the road as if your riding your brakes so then your cruise control wont engage. The traction n escape lights come on and off. My dash lights will come on one minute then go back out.

My brake lights will occasionally turn on when my foot isn't on the brakes whethr the car is moving or not, and then they turn off when I do put my foot on the brakes. Sometimes it seems to be caused by applying the brakes hard or if the ABS are needed. Cruise control will sometimes not engage at all or will shut off in the middle of driving.

Repeatedly this car is worked on due to something electrical. The headlight wiring has shorted or burned before and after the recall (multiple occurrences). Now airbag sensors shorted out and wiring was burned. That was just replaced however mechanics can't figure out clicking noise in steering column that causes cruise control and air conditioning to turn off. This happens from time to time while driving on the highway. 2014 intermediate shaft recall does not cover my car. This car is a money pit and the recalls do not ever fix the issues. I have video of the clicking yet nobody can explain it or fix it. The clicking is new (last few weeks) yet electrical issues shorting out has been reoccurring for years.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 pontiac g6. While the cruise control was activated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the ESC, traction control, and engine warning indicators illuminated. The cruise control deactivated independently. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. The vehicle was restarted and the gear lever failed to shift from park into the drive position until after several attempts. The vehicle resumed normal operation; however, the warning indicators remained illuminated. The vehicle was serviced previously per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The recall remedy was insufficient and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, which detected various trouble codes related to the bcm. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I have a 2010 pontiac g6 and since purchasing the vehicle I've had it into gm service centers several times to correct an issue with my brake light lamps not working. While driving, when I would press the brake pedal, the lamps would not illuminate, and when not pressing the pedal and driving the lamps would occasionally illuminate. Additionally, the service traction light and service ESC light would come as well and the cruise control would not work. This problem was "fixed" at least 4 or 5 separate times (and would always return several months later) before last year when it then was "fixed" again in october 2014 as an official gm safety recall (gm recall 13036). Approximately 5 weeks ago, just over 12 months later, the exact same symptoms began happening to my car again! While driving, the brake lights would not illuminate when pressing the pedal, along with the other electrical issues that are described in my recall letter (service traction control, service ESC, etc). I took it back to gm service center and they are claiming now that recall repairs are only done once, and since they can't be sure that the root cause is the same, that I now have to pay out of pocket ($1200) to have this issue corrected. They tried to re-do the recall repair as it was described in the letter, but the issue was not corrected. At that point, gm technical support advised them that the next step would be to replace all the electrical wiring for the braking system. The dealership called me and said that not only would I have to pay out of pocket for this, but also that it might not actually correct the problem. They then said my other option was to drive it home as is, without functioning break lamps. If the symptoms are the same (I.e. Brake lights don't work) as before when the federal safety agency determined this to be a safety recall issue, why is gm now unwilling to fix my vehicle?

The brake lights will come on and stay on and the cruise control will not work also the traction control will shut off I feel this is a major safety to me and my family but cant seem to get gm to feel the same way with paying the bill. I seen you had a recall from 2005 to 2009 on these cars with the same problem I think the 2010 should be included.
