An unknown person was following me on the interstate, when I stopped for gas he let me know, that my brake lights were staying on. Now they either stay on, flash intermittently or won't come on at all. Most of the time they won't come on when you apply the brakes. We were using the car's radio for an outdoor event one day, and the brake light just came on while no one was in the car and just the radio was playing.
Update from Jul 15, 2009: I found a recall on some of these cars. Of course mine does not fall into that category. The GM Recall Bulletin No. 08317. There is an electrical plug that corrodes and causes all of the problems I am having with my G6.

I was pulled over three times last year by highway patrol and asked why I was riding my brakes. I finally figured out that my brake lights were on while I was driving, and would go off when I pressed the brakes. If I sat at a stop light for very long, the brake lights would then come back on, only to stay on when I gave it gas.
After a week at the shop, the dealer replaced the BCM, or body control module, and the lights worked fine. Until now, a year later. The replacement part has a short in it again, and I'm having the same problem, only now I'm not covered by the standard warranty, so I was told it would cost almost $900, parts and labor, to have fixed.
I'm currently researching the problem, which is how I found this site, and will try calling GMC-Pontiac's customer complaint hotline to see if I can't get some help. At least that's the plan.
Thanks so much for providing this outlet!
