NHTSA — Service Brakes Problems

2009 Pontiac G6 (Page 4 of 4)

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 is starting to have the same problems as previous model years, including the headlights blowing out due to bad connectors.

The wiring harness connections aren't a big deal to replace, as long as your dealer or mechanic doesn't charge you an arm & a leg to "diagnose" the problem.

My brake lights keep staying on even when the brake pedal is not pressed. Went to the dealer and was told it is a common problem for Pontiac G6S. Been to the dealer 3 times in less than a year to get it fixed they just keep replacing the switch but now they say something else is wrong wires corroded. The 2005 G6 had recall for the exact same problem but my 2009 G6 is not on the recall list, same car different year.

While driving, cruise control will disengage and brake lights will flair on. Than when tap brakes, brake lights will shut off. Within a couple seconds, they will turn back on. When actually going to press on the brakes, have no brake lights than. This has also happened without using cruise control, just driving in general. Break lights will come on, than when press on the brake, they shut off. Couple seconds later, come back on. This is a huge safety issue while driving at night time(or during the daytime), not having brake lights when stopping. Do not feel safe driving with my children in the car. I have looked online, and found that I am not the only one having this issue: www.G6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?T=6657 is a forum/thread of various G6 owners complaining about this issue and also believes they have come up with what the problem is. From what it sounds like, its a connector with the BCM (body control module) and it developing corrosion.
