| The brake lights and cruise control work do not always work. sometimes they dont work at all and other times the brake lights come on without pressing the brake pedal. i got a warning from a police officer that i had no brake lights and then realized that when my cruise control was not working, neither were by brake lights. my wife said sometimes she cannot got the car out of park and must turn off the car and try again to get it out of park. | |||

| I have a 2006 pontiac g6, with 66,638 miles on it. i am having issues with the brakes and the cruise control. the brake lights stay on and when i push on the brake pedal they go out, when i am in park i have to push the pedal all the way to the floor in order to put it into gear. i have noticed at times they flicker. i can not set my cruise control either. i have made phone calls to the dealer and to pontiac about the gm recall # 80317. i was told that this recall only matches vin #'s 64100001 to 64100093 and that i will have to pay for work that needs to be done on the car. i questioned why i can have the same make and model as the recall but my vin # does not match? they informed me that the part numbers and the manufacture may be different!!! i feel this is a safety hazard to myself and my family and gm is not wanting to help me fix the problem, all they are looking for is taking my money for what seems to be a manufacture defect in the car. *tr | |||

| The cruise control on my 2006 pontiac g6 will disengage while driving at roadway speeds and the brake lights will come on and remain on without the brake pedal being depressed. this happens more often when the weather is wet and/or raining. i have been advised by pontiac motor company and my dealer that no recalls are outstanding at this time on my vin number. my auto had about 46000 miles when the condition was first noticed. i bought the vehicle used in april 2009. *tr | |||

| We are having the same issue with our 2006 g6. our exterior light sometimes doesn't work, the cruise control sometimes doesn't work. we had to replace at our own expense the brake rotors due to inferior quality. we were having the vibration issue some mentioned. my wife could not get it out of park one day, we had it towed to the dealership. we got the same story about the recall about not being covered by the recall and having to get it diagnosed at our expense. last year our brakes completely failed and we rear ended a minivan. luckily no one was injured. but our insurance is going up. i cannot wait until our lease is up in feb 2010. we will trade this thing in and get a dependable foreign vehicle. *tr | |||

| I purchased my pontiac g6 gt in september of 2006. shortly thereafter, i had to return it to the dealership because the horn would not work properly. it was replaced. 6-8 weeks later, it was back at the dealership for another horn replacement. then, the starter sounded like it was hanging up, like it would not disengage after the motor started. so, i took it to another dealership, but they could not duplicate the problem and simply reset the computer and returned the vehicle to me. 2 months ago, i noticed that the cruise control was not working. a couple of weeks later i discovered that my brake lights were staying on. i took it to the dealership and a module was replaced regarding the brake lights and cruise control. the next week it was back at the dealership for the same problems. 2 weeks after the return, guess what! it was back at the dealership for the brake lights staying on and the cruise control not working. i got the car back last week, and over this past weekend, i noticed that the cruise was not working yet again. not only the brakes/cruise, but the starter started hanging again and now the drivers' side heated seat comes on and cannot be turned off!!! my car has been at the dealership since tuesday and pontiac says that they will not offer a buy back because the problems are electrical and not mechanical! i guess i will just wait on it to catch fire! *tr | |||
