The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, the brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed; however, the brake lights failed to illuminate while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control). The failure mileage was approximately 225,000.

All rear lights do not work. I have had the bulbs and fuses replaced the only lights that work are the side markers. Front headlights, I have had the bulbs, fuses, and all components replaced or checked to determine why front passenger headlight was working intermittently and now longer works at all high or low beams, driver side front only high beam works. I was informed there was a recall on a wiring cluster on these vehicles that controls the lights.

THIS CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COMING ON AND OFF. I TOOK THE CAR IN MYSELF AND THEY LUBED UP THE CIRCUITS WITH DIELECTRIC GREASE. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THIS MORNING I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND KIDS AND THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN SHE IS GOING AND THEY GO OFF WHEN SHE APPLIES THE BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME MY RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T CARE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND LEARN HOW TO GREASE THE ELECTRIC PLUG THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CAR AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON RANDOMLY AND STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. ONLY TURN OFF WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES, CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ONLY FIX FOR NOW IS TO GREASE CIRCUIT, BUT I HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THAT EVERY FEW WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE FAULTY. WHEN THE CONTACT HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS REPAIRED, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS BLEW OUT AND VICE VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE INSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT UNIT, WHICH COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER (1441 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH, AUTO CIR, SAN DIEGO, CA 92108, (877) 611-6882) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LAMP WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,468.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CODE RELATED TO THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, A NEW BRAKE SWITCH WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS IS OPPOSITE TO HOW IT SHOULD BE. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS AND APPARENTLY THE RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE. THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THIS CAR. BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED SO THE REPAIR SEEMS INEFFECTIVE. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE BELOW SINCE IT ASKS FOR A DATE, BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND AT ALL SPEEDS.

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT DUE TO FAULTY SOCKET/WIRING. WAS REPLACED INITIALLY BECAUSE FACTORY SOCKET MELTED AT BULB CONTACTS. HAVE REPLACED SOCKET TWICE NOW, BUT IF WIRES ARE AT A CERTAIN ANGLE GOING INTO THE SOCKET, THE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. PROBLEM WILL USUALLY PRESENT ITSELF WHEN TURNING CAR ON, HAVE TO GET OUT AND GIVE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY A SMACK TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. ALSO VERY LIMITED ROOM INSIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, LEAVING WIRING CRAMPED AT AN ODD ANGLE AND IN THE DIRECT PATH OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE ACCESS CAP.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BURNING/SHORTING OUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO. USUALLY I JUST REPLACE THE BULB AND IT BURNS OUT SHORTLY BUT THEN WE HAD IT REWIRED. WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BUT THE WHOLE WIRING IS MESSED UP AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. I SEARCHED ON SOME FORUMS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

AIRBAG SERVICE MESSAGE &. DASH LIGHT COMES ON. OFTEN. , WHEN I PUT MY FOG LIGHTS ON. IT TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS OFF. IT WAS IN MOTION &. PARKED

TC SHUTS OFF. THE TAIL LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I CHANGED THE BULBS WITH NEW ONES AND NOW THE BLIKERS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT WORKING. THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE STILL NOT WORKING. POSSIBLE SHORT, CORRODED, OR BAD CONNECTION. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS SAFELY DURING LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY AND CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE LIGHTS CAN EITHER STAY ON OR NOT COME ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE LETTER SAYS THEY WILL EXTEND WARRANTY COVERAGE BUT NOT REPAIR THE CAR UNLESS IT ACTUALLY FAILS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND RECALL THE VEHICLES. I CANNOT SEE THE IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FUNCTIONING FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE IT THE HARNESS WAS MELTED AND ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE...WE CHANGED THE HARNESS OUT AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK I AM SICK OF GETTING PULLED OVER FOR MY LIGHT BEING OUT..I ALSO HAVE PICTURE OF THE OLD HARNESS THAT WAS ON THE CAR FROM WHERE I GOT IT FROM..

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES IN THE CAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. NOT NOTIFYING THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME THAT I AM STOPPING. WHEN BRAKES IS RELEASED THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WOULD THEN COME ON.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS A RECALL ON MY CAR THAT HAS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM STOPPED FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN CAME RIGHT BACK. THIS IS A HUGH SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS ALREADY BEEN FIXED AND DON'T WANT TO FIX IT AGAIN. PLEASE HELP.

THIS CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2014 FOR A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. GM SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM IN 2014 BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME NOW. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AND IT WILL COST $400.00 TO FIX IT. I HAVE TALKED TO 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GM BUT THEY WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I OWN 5 GM VEHICLES BUT WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT
