My wife also drives a 2007 G6 and has this exact problem. when we called a dealer they played stupid and said they have never heard of the brake problem or recall.... rediculous

I drive a 2007 Pontiac G6 and have the same problem with brake lights on when I'm driving and turn off when I brake. No recall has been made yet.

Do you drive a 2006 PONTIAC G6?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
