The brake lights are stuck on when I accelerate and go off when I brake. However, this does not occur all the time. I does happen during the day but it always happens at night. Ive called about ten mechanics and nobody has heard of the problem before. I have gotten pulled over my the police twice and so far have had one ticket.
Since this does not happen consistently, I am having a hard time finding a solution. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue, the brake lights constantly stayed on preventing the use of the cruise control as well.
I had in the dealership 3 times to get fixed and finally after replacing a break switch and blaming a after market navigation system, they found a broken wire in the harness that they said was causing the problem.
This car is the biggest piece of S#$% i have ever owned. I have spent close to $4,000 since the warranty ran out in May and now i'm looking at trading it in before i have to pay any more to Pontiac.
I too have have issues with the steering where it does a solid clunk when making left hand turns. I've had the steering shaft replaced twice, and by the way it came back last week.
The keyless remote is horrible as well. If i lock the car using the switch on the door and then unlock it using the keyless remote, the alarm goes off ticking off my neighbors every couple of weeks when i forget about the issue.
The car is up for shocks, tires, alignment, and inspection in 2 months and there is no way in hell i'm dumping another $1500 into this nightmare.
I have had detailed conversations with others when getting my car serviced and 2 of them (driving different models) have had numerous electronic issues with their cars as well.
I'm a small business owner and i can tell you this, If i sell a brand new computer desktop and you request a special CD-ROM drive and i put it in then I'm responsible for it. I can't go back to you and say well it doesn't work because of the cd-rom drive you chose. I put it in so i have to fix it or reimburse. Pontiac could use some customer service and stop trying to blame its customers for its shotty work / craftsman ship
