Been having problems with brake lights for a couple of months now. They work opposite...when i press it turns off. Then when I release....it turns on after a delay of 4-5 seconds. Very dangerous and no one seems to know the problem. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? Heard any recall about it?.....Been browsing around and a lot of people are having the same problem on g6 models.....

I started having problems with my breaks after a couple other drivers had stopped me to let me know. My dad and brothers looked at it and thought that it may be the switch inside the car that helps the break pad move. My dad bought a new switch (original part) for $60.00 and replaced it. The problem was fixed....for a short while. This was around November, and just before Christmas the breaks started to act up again. My brother has a friend he works with that used to be a GM mechanic and we had him take a look at it. he checked EVERYTHING! Fuses, wires, even the same switch. He couldn't figure it out either. After he put the switch back on the breaks worked fine. Every so often I'll start my car and the break lights will come on but when I get in I'll pump the break rapidly and they will stay off and work normally. The problem seems to occur when it rains or snows. I might be crazy to think that, but I'm taking every thins into consideration. I think your best bet is to take it to a mechanic or the place where you bought the car, and have them look at it. I was told that they can hook it up to a computer and it will spit out codes for everything that's wrong. I have yet to do this because the problem just started to happen this week. But that is going to be my next step. Yes they will charge you about $80 just to look at it and who knows how much it will be to fix it. But it is a safety hazard.
