2007 PONTIAC G6 — Complaint #2053736
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS filed January 6, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2053736 (ODI reference 11634449) concerns a 2007 PONTIAC G6 and was filed on January 6, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 6, 2025. The vehicle had 105,653 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:brake lights, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same PONTIAC G6 cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:brake lights failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 PONTIAC G6 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
