The brake light comes on by itself for no apparent reason it will turn on like you are braking this could cause and accident it also will slip out of park for no rhyme or reason also which is scary I park on a. Hill and luckily I had my wheels turned towards the curb so it didn't move when it happens multiple times.
Head light stopped working then when I tried to start car again would turn over try or anything starter was checked battery and alternator checked if it ever cranks can't turn off or it won't crank again for 2 plus hours checked relays seems as if it may be wire shortened out when won't crank.
Headlamp, low beams keep going out. It starts with one side then I replace it then the other side goes out. They driver side replaced worked for a month then went out then the passenger side lasted from October 2017 till Jan 5 2018. I keep replacing the low beams. It cost 100$ every time one is replaced. I actually tried replaceing all 4, and still one low beam went out I replaced one then next month another one went out.

The cruise control in my 2008 Saturn Aura is not functioning. Service esc and traction control lights flash on the dashboard intermittently. Brakes lights are on constantly, even when the brake is not applied. I took my car to a Saturn-approved chevy dealer for service and referenced the NHTSA recall #14v252000 from 2014. The mechanics checked the scan data and found the brake pedal learned position data was erractic in the body control module and won't hold the settings. They checked the circuits and connections (and supposedly reperformed the 2014 recall repair) but concluded that the fault is in the bcm. They suggested replacing the bcm, at a cost of $600. I explained to the mechanic that I believe the failing bcm is due to the voltage fluctuations that prompted the recall, left the dealership, and called gm. A senior advisor at gm explained that they will not do anything about the apparent safety defect because the recall did not require replacement of the bcm.
Low beans not working, replaced light bulbs, relays and fuse are good.

It's hard to drive my car now the brakes power steering and light has to be changed frequently.
I had the recall fixed last year. I have already replaced rotors and control arm on this vehicle . I traded in a Saturn that I loved on this Saturn. I bought it new from the dealer but now my interior lights dim my front speakers in the doors come on and off on there own and the back door locks will not unlock right now I can pull the lock up to unlock it but I am worried that there is a short in the wires that may cause a fire I have small children in the backseat if there were a fire I am worried the time it would take to get them out. It is going to cost alot to take to the shop to have the panels taken apart to look for a loose wire. And still my not find the wire. Moved since I bought it so I am now trying to find someone to fix the problem hoping someone who has had this problem can tell me what it is so I can tell a shop. I love my car but not at my children's expense. I have seen the other complaints shown on this site . Need help!!!!.
First was door locks kept locking by itself resulting in dead battery. 2nd was traction light coming on at a stop light. 3rd was car alarm goes off when its not set. Most recently esc active came on during light acceleration merging into traffic car would not get up to speed very nearly causing being rear ended by a semi. This happened 3 times luckily no one was killed. 5th the radio turns volume down by itself and you can hear computer or something electrical in dash. Dealer says no codes present. There may not be a code but all this is happening. Please help before someone is hurt or killed.
