I got a notice from GM today on my Pontiac G6. Just an advisory and not a recall. Problem is that brake lights can go on without the brake pedal being pushed or brake lights can go off when the pedal is pushed. The notice said don’t take it to the dealer unless you suspect this as a problem.

Not being too paranoid but will certainly pay more attention but my question is how in the world I can normally see whether the brake lights are intermittently on or not? Even the third light in mounted in the trunk wing so can’t see anything. I know at night I can see the reflection in back of me but otherwise, I’m at a loss without wiring a pilot light or something.

I don’t expect any answers.
