Brake Light On problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura - part 1

I've recently bought this car and the brake lights keep illuminating when not pressed and has destroyed two brand new sets of rotors in less than 3 months due to hot spots and stress fractures. I have noticed it happens all the time whether I'm doing city or country driving. Also the third brake light will fail to light up some of the times whenever I'm only pressing the accelerator but it will refuse to light up when the brake pedal is pressed when this is happening.

While driving, my brake lights come on without the pedal being pushed and then will eventually go off.

My external brake lights come on as soon as I crank my vehicle. They do not go off unless I press my brake pedal. I have almost been rear ended a couple of times. Also when I first get in my vehicle when I press my brake pedal it gets stuck and it makes it hard to put my car in gear. I need this checked almost immediately. This is my second time filing a claim. The first one was not looked at.

Takata recall- I have a 2007 Saturn Aura and I am having problems with my brake lights. They are constantly on. I have had the brake sensors replaced and same outcome. I even had the brake switch replaced. While I am driving my brake lights are on and when I use the brakes the brake light goes off. Have almost been rear ended quite a few times.

Brake lights stay on. When the brake is applied the brake lights go off and then on. This condition would happen while stopped with brakes on or while driving with brakes off. Gm service policy previously complied with to fix condition. Brake sensor was at fault. Sensor replaced.

Brake lights illuminate when brake pedal not being pushed. Brake lights turn off when pedal is pushed. Electronic stability control fails when brake applied. Difficulty shifting out of park unless brake pedal applied.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the exterior brake lights failed to illuminate and an abnormal noise was heard after the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Prior to the failure, the vehicle was remedied per NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Takata recall the ecm light was on the brake lights stay on when car is on and when applying the brakes the brake lights go out. It his difficult to move the shifter from park to another gear. I have this car for 2 years and every time I check there is no recall on my car. The air bag light on passenger side comes and goes all the time.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number 14v252000 (exterior service brakes). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000. Ec.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. While driving approximately 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the third brake light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control); however, the failure recurred two days later. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 78,500.

I own a 2007 Saturn Aura xr I bought in 2008. It has 69,600 miles and the service engine light is illuminated. I was told I needed a timing chain replacement for $2400. 00 because it had stretched. I have since found out that gm has a special coverage adjustment #11340c on the 2007 Saturn outlook and numerous other vehicles, for the same issue. My engine code is ly7, same as the outlook and other vehicles. Additionally I've already had 1 recall on this vehicle for a brake light issue, just got a notice of a transmission issue, and I'm on my third set of complete brakes in just 69,600 miles and I need all new brakes again. Rotors are warped after10 to 15,000 miles! also the "service traction" light keeps illuminating periodically for no apparent reason. I'm getting no answers or help from gm or it's dealers.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that after the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control), the brake warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.

Since purchased issue with steering, had alignment before purchase but steering is just simply off. The cruise works when want and scare me when pick up speed goes too fast. We were in a group following one another and person behind me said my brake lights were not working. They were working backwards, when not applying brake, brake light was on, when applied brake lights on. There was mechanic in group he checked, said could be wiring and take to dealer. When put on signal have to hold and when it does work have to cut off. I would really enjoy this car, but do have some issues. Looked up recalls had nine, called dealership only 2 came up, but one had to do with brakes. New or used look up recalls before you make a purchase.

I have not 1 but 2 recalls on my 2007 Aura Saturn. The one in concern is the brake apply sensor which causes the service brake lamp malfunction. When I apply my brake the lights do not illuminate and when I do not apply the brakes the brake lights go on. I have been almost rear ended twice in the past week due to my break lights not illuminating. I have also been yelled at by the drivers who have almost hit me because they think my break lights are not working - which they are right. I have called gm to no avail. They tell me they are waiting for the part to be made and there is nothing they can do. I received my recall notice in July 2014 and it is now August 13, 2014 and still they can not tell me when the part will even be available. So every day I put myself in danger and risk my life only to find out that gm does not seem to be concerned. I wonder if it were their child behind the wheel if they would feel the same way??????? I will never buy another gm product and will put my story on facebook for all to see so they are aware.

I was coming to a street to make a left hand turn and the car behind did not realize I was turning because as I applied my brakes the brake light turned off instead of coming on. I have come to realize that my brake lights are on when driving and when I apply the brake then the brake light is off. A car behind stopped and told me of the incident and only slowed down because he saw my turn signal was on. This incident could of lead to a serious rear ending accident and could of even caused a death. I did notice at the time of the incident the electronic stability control light was on.

I found an article on-line regarding the ntsb investigating brake light problems with chevy malibu and Saturn Aura's. My 2007 Saturn Aura has the same issue. On occasions the brake light will be "reversed" the brake light will be on when the brake pedal is not pressed, then they will got off once the brake pedal is pressed. The most recent occurrence was on 5/26/14. I am aware of it happening another 6-7 times in the past couple of years.

Brake lights do not come on all the time when brakes are applied. Brake lights come on when brakes are not applied. Cruise control shuts off when brake lights come on randomly. Called gm and they claim to know nothing about it. Have taken to local gm dealership 3 times. 1st time they replaced brake pedal position switch(did not correct problem)2nd time replaced 2 bulbs that were "dim"(did not correct problem)3rd time applied dielectric lubricant to bas connector, still not fixed. Why is there a recall for this on motortrend website dated 5/14/2014 but gm and their dealers play dumb?how can people get this fixed?.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the brake lights would remain illuminated. The contact also mentioned that when the brake pedal was applied, the brake light would fail to illuminate. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system , electronic stability control , exterior lighting , service brakes, hydraulic , vehicle speed control) however, the part to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximately failure mileage was 13,000. Updated 9/4/cn.

The brake lights are on all the time while the car is running. If the brake pedal is tapped, the lights go off briefly, then come back on again. If the brakes are applied, the lights go off briefly, then come on as they should.

My brake lights turn on while I'm driving and this is safety issue for me and my family driving in the car. The dealership will not help.

For the past few years- I have noticed that my brake lights will light up without me pressing on the brake. At times- the brake lights will not illuminate when I am pressing the brake. My dad has corrected this in the past with using diastolic lubrication on a connector under the passenger side dash board- which he found to do online. The local gm dealership wasn't able to help me nor was willing to research this for me. Generally my dad has been able to keep it corrected for 6 months at a time; now it wont make it past 2 weeks.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that a recall repair was completed by the dealer and the failure recurred months later. The contact indicated that the cruise control feature failed to work and when applying the brake pedal the light did not illuminate. The brake light stayed lit when it was not applied. The manufacturer recall remedy did not repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the brake light switch needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000. Dyd.

Three problems seem to have occurred around the same time: 1) the brake lights will illuminate when the brake pedal is not being depressed and will not illuminate when the brake pedal is being pressed; 2) the cruise control will not engage; and 3) sometimes the only way to get the gear selector out of park is to press down very hard on the brake pedal.

First noticed cruise disengaged while driving and would not re-engage. Cruise corrected itself after trying it after several miles. Second, a few weeks later, cruise quit functioning again, this time I noticed the brake lights were on while not touching brake petal. When applying brake petal the brake lights go off, and then they will come on when the petal is released. Drove 60 miles this way in the dark. When I reached destination it was dawn light and car was running in park. The brake lights were off and running lights on. When I hit brake petal the brake lights would function as normal. I don't know if cruise was working since I was parked. Personal thought; could brake light issue only be related while the auto headlamps are functioning? my investigation led to many hundreds of complaints around the internet about all of the same problems happening at the same time on Saturn Aura, chevy malibu, and pontiac g6. Ie brake lights operating in reverse of intended design, cruise control not working, and also transmission not shifting into or out of gear by the selector leaver. However, I am not noticing a shifter issue at this time. Huge safety hazard that the brake lights are functioning in reverse of normal design. However, all of the symptoms seem to be related and happening at the same time. I also found a technical bulletin no. : 08-05-22-009 with all of these related problems. Please finish investigation and move this to a recall!.

First it was my gear shift, I had to get it fixed back in may of this year 2013 because when I tried to put the car in park, and did not park at all, matter of fact, when I placed the car in park it started reversing, literally going backwards. I got it fixed but yet there seems to still be issues with the gear shift, just hasn't been the same. Now when I drive my brake lights stays on, but when I press on the brakes my brake lights shuts off. Very dangerous situation, and also inside my car the lights seem to flicker on my dash board and everywhere else lights are in the car so I'm assuming that's a electrical problem. Updated 08/15/lj the rack and pinion was replaced.

Occurring often but intermittently, my brake lights remain on while the brakes are not being engaged. When the brake lights are engaged, the brake lights will turn off and will then come back on when disengaged. This also does not allow cruise control to be activated while the brake lights remain on. This issue has been reported by multiple Saturn Aura owners. The cause for concern is driver safety. Please take this issue into consideration as a recall for Saturn Aura owners.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the brake light remained illuminated when the brake pedal was not depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was advised that the body control module failed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 122,000 and the current mileage was 155,000.

I will be driving my 2007 Saturn Aura and the brake lights will be illuminated while driving, and the brakes are not being used. I have also noticed that when I actually use the brakes the brake lights do not illuminate. Also this causes my cruise control not to work. It will either not work or it will work then shut off spontaneously while driving. I also noticed when I use the brakes and then engage the cruise control and it would turn on then when I let off the brakes and it would shut off.

Third brake light stays on when brake pedal in not pressed down and when pressed down brake light goes off and this occurs randomly. Also, at times brake pedal must be pressed down very hard to get selector into drive.

The brake lights were on without pushing the peddle and off when the peddle was pressed. I was lucky to notice the problem because it was night time. However, the problem did not happen for a mechanic.

I noticed this morning as I was driving to work (dark, 5 am, cst) that the brake light in the back window stays lit. It would go off for about three seconds when the brake pedal was pressed, but then it would come back on and stay lit until the pedal is pressed again. I've done a little research and noticed that this is widespread and common in this car.

My brake lights just randomly comes on. It will come on when I press the gas and stay on while going down the road. It also goes off when I hit the brake sometimes. I have had it worked on and it still hasn't been fixed more than once. When this problem occurs it is hard to put my car in gear. The brake lights sometimes flicker randomly. I never really know when it will happen. The past two months the car has been in the shop for this problem at least twice if not more. This doesn't count the 6 times it had been looked at within the last year. The problem never seems to get fixed. The closest gm dealer is about an hour away as well.

Brake light come on when ever stay until whenever did service bulletin 4 times in the last year works temporary I have been dealing with this for 2 1/2 years change everything did every thing by the book.

While driving the car turned all the way off and steering wheel locked had to put in neutral and turn off and back on. Also the brake lights are always on and when I press on the brake the light go off. This car is becoming so problematic the shift is also stuck a lot of the time where I can not even shift it out of park, I have to press down hard on brake to release the park. Hopefully complaints from many people will cause a recall this is not safe.

Over the past few weeks, the brake lights have been working sporadically. Sometimes they stay on, sometimes they do not come on, and sometimes they work opposite (when you press the brakes they go off and when your are not on the brakes they come on). This is an extreme safety hazard. It has gone to a dealer once already and I have already made a second appointment with them for the same issue. From the research I have done this is a common issue for at least 3 gm models. This is dangerous when the brake lights do not work. I drive on the PA turnpike every morning at speeds of 55-65 mph and if my brake lights do not work when I go to slow down, I am at risk of someone hitting me at a high rate of speed. Please look into this issue. It seems this is a common issue with the Saturn Aura, pontiac g6, and chevy malibu.
