Brake Light Switch problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura

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 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?.

While driving along w/cruise control on it suddenly shuts off, and my brake lights come on without applying my brakes, the brake lights stay on until I apply my brakes then with my foot on the brake the lights go off I take my foot off the brake & the brake lights go on & stay on until I apply the brakes again & the cruise will not work when the brake light are on & when I first start the car I have to push real hard on the brake pedal to get the car out of park. This has been happening almost everyday for months now. I've had mechanics check it out they replaced stop light switch & cleaned contacts & reset computer but nothing works, general motors should have to correct this problem before somebody gets in a bad accident.

10/15/2010- brake light stays on when driving, and turns off when brake is applied. Tom bannen Chevrolet replaced the internal fault switch under warranty. 11/04/2010- brake light stays on when driving, and turns off when brake is applied. Tom bannen Chevrolet applied diolectric grease to connector pins under warranty. 9/13/2012- brake light stays on when driving, and turns off when brake is applied. Tom bannen Chevrolet calibrated the brake pedal position at my cost. 11/13/2013 brake light stays on when driving, and turns off when brake is applied. Tom bannen Chevrolet now states that they "think" it is the body control module. This has been a persistent problem with this car, and this issue is well documented with Saturn Aura's. This is a major safety issue with these cars, and will end up in someone getting rear ended.

I purchased a 2007 Saturn Aura in may 2010 with 36,000 miles. I immediately noticed my cruise control would occasionally shut off by itself. About a month later, it did it again, but this time I noticed (it was at night) then when the cruise control shut off, the brake lights had come on by themselves. After starting to pay attention to this more, I realized the brake lights are coming on my themselves. They only shut off when you press on the brake pedal. Thus drivers behind me think I am riding my brakes and then when I in fact use the brake, the brake light shuts off. This is a serious safety issue. Dealerships and Saturn/gm customer service have been no help. I researched this online and found 24,300 results of Saturn Aura brake light problems. Dealership said they have no way to fix it, I have replaced fuses, sensors, pressure switches, nothing has worked. I have a 3 year old that I won't even let ride in my car for fear I will be rear ended with him should my brake lights decide not to work. There has been times that they won't even work at all. This is an everyday problem. Everyday my brake lights come on while driving down the road and only go off when I actually use the brake. Someone is going to get seriously hurt in an accident, and if it is someone in my vehicle, gm is the first place I'm going to for answers. I have owned gm vehicles for 15 years and after the horrible customer service I received (after I filed a bbb complaint) I will never buy gm again.

I bought this 2007 Saturn Aura on 05/23/2010. The same day I started noticing my cruise control wasn't working properly. Sometime it would work, other times it wouldn't. Then I realized when I drove the car home that night that the brake lights were on and this was causing the cruise to not work. The brake lights will come on at random times without pressing on the brake pedal. You have to press the brake pedal to shut them off. Opposite of what should be happening. So when my brake lights are on(came on by themselves) and I actually need to stop, the brake lights go off when I use the brake. A major safety issue in my opinion. We replaced two pressure switches in the brake pedal thinking that was the problem. Still not fixed. We also replaced a few other parts associated with the brake pedal and it still wasn't corrected. So, I contacted the dealership who told me they had no idea how to fix it and would need to go thru my wiring one by one and inspect everything and warned me it was limitless how much a repair like that could cost. So, I called Saturn customer service. I talked to a woman named judy who was no help. She gave me a list of repairs to be done and said I had to go thru that list first and pay for all the repairs out of pocket and if it didn't work then she was at a loss too. I told her I have done alot of research about this online and have found hundreds of complaints for this very issue on numerous web site's. She said the company is unaware of the problem. (which I doubt). I have a 3 year old son who rides in the backseat of this car and it is a disaster waiting to happen. There have been multiple times I have been slowing down to turn into a store or an intersection and people have come flying up behind me because my brake lights are not working almost rear ending me. When the lights go off, its 8 seconds before they come back on.

The brake pedal position switch is incorrectly programmed, this causes the brake lamps to operating in a constant state of illumination when the pedal is not pressed, worse yet the brake lights shut off when brake pedal is pressed. I have already replaced the brake switch and relay. This is the same issue for recall pontiac g8 recall NHTSA campaign id number: 09v172000.
