2008 Pontiac G6 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	740458
Internal NHTSA #	10285161
Manufacurer	GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
Brand	PONTIAC
Model	G6
Model Year	2008
File date	15/09/09
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On 2/17/09, gm recalled 8,012 2005-2006 pontiac g6 vehicles, because the brake lamps would not operate properly due to corrosion in a wiring connector. Symptoms include brake lamps illuminating when brake pedal is not depressed, brake lamps failing to illuminate when brake pedal is depressed, cruise control will not engage and greater than normal brake force is required to shift vehicle out of park. I own a 2008 pontiac g6 which is not included in this recall, however, my vehicle is experiencing the exact problems as described in the recall notice. I still have the factory warranty but the dealer cannot find the cause of the problem, they replaced the brake sensor which did not solve the problem and they do not believe it is related to this recall as they have found no corrosion in the wiring connector. I am therefore requesting that nhtsa require gm to validate the cause and expand the recall to other years. As noted in the recall notice, "brake lamps that are not operating properly may not warn a driver in a following vehicle of the braking status and could lead to a crash without prior warning". This is a serious safety issue and i find it unacceptable that gm would not recall any vehicle with this problem and determine other causes. Thank you.
