I have a 2008 Pontiac G6. My brake lights were working in the reverse. When not depressed..they were on. When brake was applied..they were off. My cruise control also did not work. I took my car to my mechanic and he replaced the bmc and reset the computer. This cost me $412. It is now July of 2013 and the same thing is happening again. I researched it on the computer and have found out that this is a possible recall. Can I take my car to a GM dealership and get it repaired at no charge?

Cruise control stopped working completely following 8 months of intermittent outages. Stopped by state police officer and informed of brake light staying on. Confirmed break lights were staying on whenever brakes were not being apllied. When brake lights were applied, the brake lights would turn off for approx. 5 seconds. Fixed by applying dielectric grease to the electrical contacts of the main body computer.

Brake light stay on when driving. Wont shut off till you hit the brakes, but will often come back on. This also causes the cruise control to shut off. Was rear ended in July 2012.

I was driving and trying to set the cruise control and the cruise would not set. I was also being followed by my wife at the time. When we arrived at our destination, she asked me if I was riding the brakes. I told her I was not and she informed me that my brake lights were on all the time, except for after making a stop & restarting they would go out briefly and come back on and stay on. Since that day this has happened intermittently several times and this concerns me very much as I have a 16 year old son who drives this vehicle to work and you never know if the lights are stuck on unless you try to engage the cruise control.

Brake lights self-illuminate, canceling cruise control functions as a result. General Motors has issued a technical service bulletin on this issue (#08-05-22-009: Intermittently brake lights (stop lamp) do not function correctly, extended travel to shift out of park, cruise control inoperative, dtc C0161/C0277 set (perform repair as outlined) - (Dec 4, 2008) ), enough vehicles are affected by this issue to warrant a safety recall.

My brake lights are staying on even when the brake isn't being pressed. This is also linked to my cruise control issue of turning off while engaged automatically and then not turning back on.

- Lemoore, CA, USA

On my 2008 Pontiac G6, the brake lights are on all the time even though the brake pedal is not being depressed and in turn makes the cruise control not work.

- Neosho, MO, USA

My brake lights are staying on even when the brake isn't being pressed. This is also linked to my cruise control issue of turning off while engaged automatically and then not turning back on.

- Ada, OK, USA

Cruise control disengaged while on the interstate. Notice sudden deceleration and cruise control indicator was off. Cruise control would not reengage immediately. Reengaged by driver about 20 miles later.

- Santee, CA, USA

Cruise control disengages and brake lights illuminate without pressing brake pedal and turn off when the brake pedal is pressed. I have researched and found reports of the same problems on the Saturn aura and Chevy Malibu of the same year, and the Pontiac G6 of 2005.

- Oak Park, IL, USA

The brake lights come on when the pedal is not depressed and go off when it is depressed. This condition also affects the cruise control. This only happens occasionally, but it seems to be happening more since the first occurrence. This a very dangerous situation and there is no way of knowing when it is occurring.

- Decatur, IN, USA

Brake lights engage and cruise control disengages at varying times. Brake lights engages when accelerating. Upon minor depression of the brake pedal, brake lights shut off, then re-engage as the pedal is depressed further. Brake lights engage at both high and low speeds, as well as when the vehicle is parked and running.

When you set the cruise or are just driving down the highway or in town the brake lights will come on without tapping the brake pedal. This will shut the cruise off and the brake lights will stay on for an extend period of time. Not safe at all!

First the rear door actuator worked 50% of time.then 0%. cruise worked intermittent. Brake lights on while driving.hence stuck on. Passenger side airbag module faulty. Inopt. In that order. Al have to be related and its a known problem in Pontiac. And GM wants 730 to replace module 232 for door actuator.its B.S recall 2008 G6. They have recalled G8 for similar problems.

I noticed the cruise control going off on its own agenda. I was told by another driver that the brake lights were coming on while traveling down the highway. Had a dealer look into the problem and the switch was replaced. Still does it with 56K miles on it. I am a mechanic and what a bad design. GM needs to step up a get the switch redesigned before somebody gets seriously hurt.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the driver was traveling at an unknown speed when the accelerator pedal became stuck in open throttle, causing the vehicle to accelerate to 107 mph. The vehicle rolled over a dip in the road, left the road, went airborne, rolled over five times and landed upside down on its roof. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver was fatally injured. The manufacturer as well as with the highway patrol was investigating the crash. The mileage and VIN were unavailable.

My 2008 Pontiac G6's brake lights are intermittently staying on when I am not pushing on the brake and then they goes off when I am pushing on the brake. I see that there was a recall on the 2005 and 2006 models but not the 2008. This is a danger to me. I believe that this should be a recall and/or that GM should pay to have this problem fixed before it causes a wreck. Also my cruise control works only part of the time, which may be related.

I own a 2008 Pontiac G6, I have been experiencing problems with my brake lights. The brake lights will come on automatically without touching the brakes. When I step on the brake, they shut off only to come back on in a short time. The cruise control is also affected by this. Cruise control will shut off when brake lights are on. I had changed the brake switch thinking this would fix the problem. It did nothing. I then brought it in and had it calibrated. This seemed to fix it, however, now the brake lights continually stay on without touching the brake. My traction light also stays on and will not shut off when pressing the traction button. I strongly suggest something be done by GM to help with this issue. I have read many stories like my own about the same thing and nothing is being done. This is a huge safety issue in that drivers behind you may not be aware that you are braking and could cause a crash.

My 2008 Pontiac G6 cruise control works intermittently for the past year. I use it when it works and keep it off when it does not want to engage. In the past months, my brake lights stay on when the brakes are not engaged; once I engage the brakes, the lights go out completely. This issue is intermittent as well.
