My brake lights are intermittently staying on while driving even though I am not using the brake pedal. The scary part is that they shut off when you hit the pedal and then come back on about 5 seconds later. I saw on the web that there is a known problem with corrosion on the BCM connections. There was a recall for previous years and GM has issued a technical service bulletin on how to fix it because there have been so many problems and complaints. I am going to try a quick fix I found on the Pontiac G6 forum before I have to take it to a dealer and spend my own money on an obvious defect.

Brake lights stay on while vehicle is moving causing serious safety issue. I am afraid to drive the car fearing I will cause an accident and some one will be injured because of this obvious defect.

Both headlight connectors melted.

- Jackson, NJ, USA

Noticed headlight burned out. Replaced it. Burned out again in a week. Replaced again and burned out in two days. Replaced with best bulb available and has been intermittent after one week. Read many posts online about this problem. Now I need to have a mechanic troubleshoot a flakey electrical problem which can be very expensive. I believe any safety equipment issues should always be warranty work from the dealer.

The brake light on the 2009 Pontiac G9 intermittently go off and on. Brake lights are on while the brakes are not applied and go off when the brakes are applied. This issue could cause a serious accident.

I own two 2009 Pontiac G6 vehicles. Both of the connectors in the headlights of each vehicle have melted and need to be replaced. One has been fixed and the other is waiting to be fixed. They happened at different occasions. This seems to be common with these vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking responsibility for the problem. Please make others aware. I also had a problem with motors for the door locks on both cars going out at the same time. Thank goodness that was under warranty.

Was driving and notice my brake lights were staying on even though I wasn't hitting the brakes at the time, then when I would apply the brake the lights went off when I let up on the brake lights would come back on if this problem keeps going on with this car it is going to cause someone to have a wreak and get hurt.I think the company needs to have a recall on this part before someone sues the company for wrongful death. I have read many complaints on this issue and its time for the company to make a recall on it.

2009 Pontiac G6 I got on the highway and tried to switch on the cruise control and it wouldn't work so I pulled over to the side of the road to see what's wrong. When I got out of my car I noticed that the brake lights were on so I went back and pressed the brakes then they turned off. I started driving again but soon as I turned on the cruise control it comes on but turns right back off. But if I hit the brakes the cruise control will work again for a second then turns right back off that's when I realized that the brake lights come on when I drive but when I hit the breaks they turn off. Im only writing this because my car doesn't have 100,000 miles yet and I saw that your company started an investigation regarding this issue. I would like to know how this can be fixed because it's not just on the highway it's happening now all the time. This can be a safety issue so I'd rather get this fixed now. Please help. Thanks!

I had someone following me home the other day and when we arrived they asked me why I kept putting on my brakes and letting off. I was not touching the brakes. We cranked up the car and stood behind it and watched and the brake lights would come on and go off without anyone even sitting in the car. I got in and started pressing the brake pedal and when I pressed the pedal the lights would go off. When I let off of the pedal the lights would come on. That's when I started searching this issue and found all the other people out there that have had the same issues with their G6's. in my opinion and everyone else that has this problem, this is a major safety issue. My daughter drives this car and it makes me extremely worried that something could happen. How in the world can GM not be taking action to resolve this problem considering how much talk they advertised about the quality of the new G6? GM needs to stand up and do the right thing here before someone really gets hurt or dies due to an accident involving these brake lights.

Passenger side lowbeam went out, replaced bulb and it went out again, inspected wiring harness and noticed it was charred and melted, and the wiring near it was also charring and insulation burning off. Replaced wiring harness, bulb went out again a few days later, inspected new wiring harness and noticed it was melting again. Suspect short as even the wires are getting very hot, however no fuse has blown to date. Concerned about sudden lack of visibility at night and about fire risk.

I noticed that the cruise control was not working, soon after that someone told me that my brake lights are on most of the time, only going off occasionally. I have tested it, and you can put the car in park and watch the lights go from off to on with out touching the break petal. (they stay on) I am going to take it in for service tomorrow. I have found out this is not an uncommon problem. This should be a recall issue. I know this problem is under investigation. There are tons of complaints.

Cpsc: I1360207A. 2009 Pontiac G6 coupe. Consumer stated her car is having the same brake problem as the ones she's read about online. The consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop, where it was reprogrammed. However, two days later, the problem returned. The consumer stated the brake lights would come on, when his foot was not on the brake pedal, and they would go out, when he foot was on the pedal.

I was pulled over by a police office for suspected I was drunk driving. He said it was because of my erratic brake lights. After that by watching the rear window light at night I realized that my brake lights are on with no pedal applied, off when I apply the brakes and on again when I apply them hard. I now realize because the cruise control only works with the lights are off that this problem has been on going since I bought the car used last year. I took it to a shop to get fixed and the repair only lasted less than two days before failing again. I've read on the internet that this may become a recall but 2009 wasn't listed as one of the years. My G6 coupe 2009 has the same problem as described on the 05 thru 08.
