2008 Pontiac G6 Brakes Problems

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS WAS A RECALL DONE IN 2014 BUT IN 2019 WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. THIS ISSUE IS ALSO CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT WORK, AND THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT TO COME ON.

LOSE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL WHILE DRIVING . REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR RELEARNED SENSOR AND IS STILL LOSING BRAKE LIGHTS WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINUTES OF SITTING AND IT RESETS THE BRODY CONTROL MODEL AND WORKS FOR A DAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND IK THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 ARE RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING I NEED TO KEEP MY [XXX] SON SAFE PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT BRAKING. BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON UNTIL HIT THE BRAKE THEN COME BACK ON WHEN LET OFF BRAKES

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS PUSHED. THIS IS ON MY 16 YEAR OLD CHILD'S CAR. I AM WORRIED THAT SHE WILL BE REAR ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A LEAK NEAR THE AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (TODD WENZEL BUICK GMC OF WESTLAND LOCATED AT 35100 FORD RD WESTLAND, MI 45185 734-423-1007) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-298340334. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED REGARDLESS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED OR NOT. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 08/30/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE EITHER ILLUMINATE ALL THE TIME, OR THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO HAYWIRE. THE SEAT BELT ALARM SOUNDED EVEN WHEN IT WAS UN-BUCKLED, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SO DID OTHER RANDOM LIGHTS. UPDATED 10/26/16.*JB

I NOTICE THAT ON SOME OF THE 2008 PONT. G6 BREAK LIGHTS DON'T COME ON SOME TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE CARS ALMOST HIT MY CAR BUT I CHECKED MY BREAK LIGHTS AND THEY WORKED .

I TOOK MY PONTIAC G6 INTO FREEMAN BUICK GMC IN GRAPEVINE TX TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY PERFORMED THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR THE EXISTING POWER STEERING FAILURE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK NOW. YESTERDAY AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET IN GRAPEVINE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS SUDDENLY LOST (THE CONSOLE IMMEDIATELY SHOWED THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" ON THE CONSOLE AND THE BEEPER SOUNDED). I ALMOST WRECKED THE CAR. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL MAINTENANCE I STILL EXPERIENCED LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CALLED FREEMAN AND ASKED THEM TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE VISIT FOR MY CAR TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN BRAKE PEDAL NOT PRESSED, YET MANY TIMES WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON. SCARY BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT REAR END COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATIONS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONTACTED THE DEALER SO THE CONTACT COULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

BRAKES HAVE A WARPED FEEL. BRAKES HAVE PEDAL FADE, ONCE THE WARPED FEELING SHOWS BRAKES GRAB AND RELEASE AS THE WARPED AREA GOES AROUND. HAVE REPLACED BRAKES APPROXIMATELY EVERY 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES SINCE THE FIRST REPAIR AT 71,000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 151,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS TIME FOR IT'S SIXTH SET OF BRAKES (BOTH ROTORS AND PADS). I HAVE SEEN THIS TO BE A LARGE TREND AMONG OTHER G6 OWNERS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-480, IN THE STATE OF OHIO, THE BRAKES ON MY G6 WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED UNTIL I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND A MAN WHO WAS TRAVELING BEHIND ME TOLD ME WHAT HE OBSERVED. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON AS I DROVE; AND NOT ON WHILE BRAKING (EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF HOW BRAKE LAMPS SHOULD OPERATE). I WENT HOME, TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN, AND THEY DID EXACTLY AS HE SAID. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON. I REPEATED THE SAME ACTION 3 TIMES AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN TO WORK PROPERLY. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM DATED JULY 2014 APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO. THE HEADING OF THE LETTER STATES, "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL." UPON RECEIPT OF THE LETTER, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL 13036. ALTHOUGH THE LETTER PLAINLY STATES THAT MY CAR IS RECALLED, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED I MUST WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD THE INFORMATION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAD NOT BEEN AN ISSUE AT THE TIME, AND I WAS WILLING TO WAIT. HOWEVER, I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGING, AND I TURNED IT OFF, AND DID NOT USE IT AGAIN, AS I FOUND THAT TO BE AN EASILY REMEDIED PATCH. THE RECALL INCLUDES THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, WHICH AFFECTS BOTH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND MY BRAKES. I CALLED GM TODAY AND THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR TO USE TODAY UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. UPON RETURNING HOME, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP ADVISING GM MAY NOT PAY FOR THE RENTAL. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. MY TWO CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN RUN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK WHILE TRAVELING ON THIS BUSY FREEWAY. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND I HOPE NO LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A PROBLEM CREATED BY GM. UPDATED 4/24/15 *JS

I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT OUT WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES. I DID FIND ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME I COULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY COULD CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR AND THEN IF A RECALL SHOWS UP ON MY VEHICLE FOR THAT, THEN I COULD TRY TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2008 G6 VEHICLES AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR HAS THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT SEE A SPECIFIC RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON CONTINUOUSLY, AND OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY; I WAS DRIVING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE AND WATCHED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, TO FULL-ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. THIS SAME VEHICLE IS ALSO EXHIBITING INTERMITTENT "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" ISSUES - I AM UNAWARE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE BRAKE LIGHT / BODY CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2008 PONTIAC G6. STARTING IN AUGUST IS WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON WHEN IM NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE STOP ME & ASK ME IF I AM RIDING MY BRAKES AT ALL BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I ACTUALLY HAD SOMEONE TELL ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON & THEN WHEN I CAME TO THE REDLIGHT THEY WENT OFF WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED. MY CRUISE CONTROL ISN'T WORKING EITHER. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO I BOUGHT MY CAR OFF OF & HE SAID HE ALSO HAS 4 OTHER G6S THAT RANGE FROM 2007-2008 THAT ARE DOING THIS SAME THING & HE IS UNSURE HOW TO FIX IT. I CALLED OTHER DEALERS & THEY SAID THAT IF THE DEALERSHIP WHO I BOUGHT THE CARE OFF OF DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT THEN I NEED TO CONTACT GM. I CALLED GM TODAY & THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERS AROUND ME & THERE IS ONLY 1 GM DEALER & THAT IS WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR OFF OF & HE SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THEM. I HAVE A 20 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN MY CAR EVERYDAY & SAFETY IS THE NUMBER 1 THING. I SAW THERE WERE RECALLS IN 2005-2007 BUT NOTHING IN 2008 ON BRAKES. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE THERE ARE 4 OTHER CARS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. I BOUGHT MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAD GOOD REVIEWS FOR SAFETY REGULATIONS. PLEASE HELP OR GIVE ANY ADVICE IF YOU CAN. *TR
