  • 118,000 miles
I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 and I am having issues with the brake lights malfunctioning. The brake lights will come on when I am not pressing down the brakes and when I do press on the brakes the brake lights go off. This just started to happen. I had it in a repair garage and they said they fixed it by putting in a new switch but it is still the same. My research says this has happened to others. I think GM should recall and fix before something happens. Who can help?
