2005 Pontiac G6 has a problem with the brake lights where the lights stay on while brake pedal is not being pushed, or don't come on at all unless you push really hard. I looked online to see if I could find a solution and found many other people are having similar issues.

My brake lights will be on without the brakes being pressed and will go off when the brakes are applied. Has occurred on and off over the last 6 months. I have been on several forums and this seems to be a common occurrence with G6 owners.

2005 Pontiac G6, brake lights come on without touching the brakes. It occurs sporadically. If you tap the brake pedal, the lights go off for about 3-5 seconds, then they come back on. I've had it in at the Pontiac dealership twice and they don't know how to fix the problem. I've done internet searches about this issue and it appears to be happening to other G6 owners all over the U.S. I've had other motorists flash me and motion to me on the freeway and I don't think it is safe to drive the car this way.

I own a 2005 Pontiac G6 which I purchased from a dealer after it had been leased for 1 year. The vehicle had 12000 miles on it when purchase. Numerous problems have occurred with this vehicle after purchase. Starting with a noise, clunk in the steering. This has been in the repair shop for upwards to 7-8 times, each time new repairs done on different parts. This problem has never been resolved. Now at 64500 miles the noise is still there after repairs only 4000 miles ago. Starting in October of 2007 I began having problems with the brake lights and cruise control. Brake lights working only sporadically as well as the cruise control. There has been documented repairs on the is of 7-8 times as well. This problem also has never been resolved. On September 17, 2008 my car was involved in a rear-end automobile accident in most part and no doubt due to faulty brake light system. Many other problems have occurred with this vehicle as well including poor sunvisor manufacturing, leaky map lights in overhead console, rapid wear of brake pads and rotors, rapid tire wear, starting drags when starting, occasionally the car will not shift out of park when the car is running and brake pedal is applied.
