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.

SERVICE BRAKES

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 ARE ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. ALSO HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL UNUSUALLY HARD TO FLOOR TO GET TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON PONTIAC G6 CARS FOR THIS ( RECALL#13036). I TYPED MY VIN NUMBER IN THIS WEBSITE AND IT SAID 0 RECALLS ON IT. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. NOT SURE IF THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON FEB. 28, 2019 BUT APPROXIMATELY THEN. AND IT PROBABLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN PARK MODE ALTHOUGH CAN'T BE SURE.

I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE WEEKS AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ACROSS MY RADIO WITH BEEPS, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN IN STATIONARY AND DRIVING AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WOULD SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN ONCE AGAIN SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE LAST 5 DAYS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT ANY DRIVING SPEED, I WOULD STILL HAVE SOME ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT IT IS NOT EASY AND MAKES THINGS MORE DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING OR DURING A TURN. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO MECHANIC, MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED : TORQUE SENSOR IN THE EPS SYSTEM. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WHICH WAS DATED FEBRUARY 4,2015. I WAS READING THE RECALL WHICH WAS DESCRIBED AS TO WHAT MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY CAR. THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 I ALSO CAME ACROSS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT -LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. MY CARE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY RECALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS DEFECT, WHEN THERE IS A RECALL AND A SPECIAL COVERAGE. GM TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN RECALL AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WAS EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING, WHEN AT ONE POINT GM WAS FIXING THIS PROBLEM IN 2007-2010 PONTIAC G6. GM TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE GOT A LETTER ABOUT THIS SPECIAL WARRANTY. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER, OR I WOULD HAVE GOT THIS COMPLETED AT THAT TIME. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RELOOKED AT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE ON THE ROADS..

FOR AWHILE NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SO I HAD A FULL DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION DONE THAT READ NOTHING. AS A RESULT, I HAD THEM DO A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING SINCE THERE IS A SMALL JERKY FEEL EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I ALSO HAD THEM DO A BREAK FLUID EXCHANGE BUT THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL BLINKS. ALONG WITH THAT, MOST TIMES AFTER FUELING UP MY CAR, MY CAR DRIVES WELL AND JUST FINE BUT ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, AFTER FUELING UP, I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC PROCEEDING TO THE FARTHEST LANE SO THAT I CAN TURN LEFT INTO MY APARTMENTS THEN POP! AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE GEAR HAD LOCKED IN DRIVE. THIS SCARED ME SO BAD SO I BRAKED IN EVERY WAY I COULD HOPING I WOULDN'T CRASH THEN TRIED SHIFTING GEARS AND CRANKING MY CAR AGAIN. I GOT INTO THE GATES AND INTO THE PARKING LOT THEN MY CAR STALLED AND CUT OFF AGAIN. I FINALLY PARKED MY CAR, POPPED THE HOOD, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT I COULD SEE FROM MY VIEW. SO, THE NEXT DAY SEPTEMBER 19TH I DROVE TO CLASS THAT MORNING AND IT STALLED A BIT ANY TIME I INCREASED MY SPEED AS IF IT WANTED TO CUT OFF. I GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY COLLEGE AND IT CUTS OFF AS SOON AS I BEGIN TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT BETWEEN TWO CARS. I CRANK IT UP, COMPLETE MY PARK THEN I GO INSIDE FOR CLASS UNTIL LUNCH. ON LUNCH, I CRANK UP MY CAR AND WOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FINALLY OFF BUT AS USUAL THE NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING. I TEST DRIVE MY CAR TO THE LOCAL WINN DIXIE AND BACK AND ON THE WAY BACK POP! THEN IT STALLS TO CUT OFF BUT DOESN'T CUT OFF SO I TAKE IT BACK TO MY COLLEGE BEFORE LUNCH IS OVER AND PARK IT. NOW IT'S THE END OF THE DAY AND I'M OUT OF CLASS AND HEADED HOME. THIS TIME I MAKE IT INTO THE GATE BUT I'M GETTING CLOSE TO GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AND POP! IT DOESN'T CUT OFF BUT IT'S STALLS BADLY LIKE IT WANTS TOO SO I PROCEED TO DRIVE THEN PARK IT. PLEASE, HELP.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, MY BREAK LIGHTS TURNED ON. I FOUND THIS OUT BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN ON MY CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT THEN PEOPLE KEPT PULLING ME OVER TELLING ME ABOUT MY BREAK LIGHTS. I WAS SO ANGRY THAT THEY KEPT COMING ON, I TOOK MY WARRANTY I GOT IN THE MAIL AND CAR TO A GM DEALER. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT COMPLETELY BUT JUST RECALCULATED THE SYSTEM TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF FOR A WHILE. I'M SO SICK OF MY BREAK LIGHTS COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES ITS WHILE IM DRIVING, AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE ON ALREADY RIGHT AFTER I TURN ON MY KEY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE GETTING THIS FIXED FOR FREE BECAUSE I'M SO WORRIED I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HARM SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF I'M STOPPING OR DRIVING. I WANT TO KEEP ME AND MY SON SAFE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT HITTING THE BRAKES AND THEY GO OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE 2014 RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! IT WAS MERELY A BANDAID AND TEMPORARY FIX. ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION, I HAVE SEEN THE CAR BEHIND ME FLY UP ON MY REAR END AND HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! I DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET REAR ENDED AND SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES ON CAR FORUMS, AFTER HAVING THE RECALL DONE, SO I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR THAT HAS THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY!

TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT CABLE MALFUNCTIONED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND SOMETHING BROKE,I THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SHIFT CABLE. ALSO MY BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON EVN WHEN I DON'T APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. AND ALSO MY STEERING IS HARD TO STEER OCCASIONALLY, WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS WHEN USING ON WINDY ROADS. BOTH IN THE CITY AND MOUNTAINMOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS. I HAD RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS WHEN I WAS TROUBLESHOOTING WHY MY TRANNY CABLE BROKE THE OTHER DAY.

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.

THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DYSFUNCTION OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I GOT IT FIXED, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. ALL SEEMED WELL, BUT I AM NOW ABOUT A YEAR (LONGER?) AFTER THE RECALL AND IT SEEMS TO NOT HAVE WORKED. I KNOW, VERY WELL, OF SOMEONE WHO OWNS A YEAR LATER OF THE SAME CAR, HAD THE SAME RECALL, AND IT ALSO ENDED UP GOING BACK TO THE MALFUNCTIONING. I KNOW TOO WELL, A SERVICE ISN'T GUARANTEED AFTER A YEAR. WHERE DOES A RECALL, THAT DIDN'T GET FIXED PROPERLY, HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON GETTING FIXED!

I WAS TOLD THAT THAT RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I RESPONDED WITH THE PART THEY FIXED FOR THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL FIX. THEY RESPONDED THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED IT WAS FIXED WITH DIALETIC GREASE AND A ZIP TIE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AGAIN FOR IT SEEMS LIKE GM HAS JUST PUT A BAND AID ON A GUSHING WOUND TO AVOID PAYING AND FIXING THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. AND I AM STUCK EITHER PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THE DEALER QUOTED OR CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD GET ME KILLED! FOR NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS EITHER STAY ON OR MAY NOT WORK AT ALL, EVEN IN PARK WITH THE CAR IDLING THEY STAY ON UNTIL I TAP THE BRAKES THEN THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT COME ON WHEN TAPPED AGAIN.
