The brake lights constantly stay on. The esc alert/traction control alert always turns on. Acceleration and transmission issues. Rpms shoot up and jerks into next gear from when I turn the car on, and sometimes they happen after I've been driving and there was a recall on these models.
While driving, the brake lights will remain lit up even though the brakes are not being engaged. My electronic stability control (esc) light has been popping up alot lately, almost every time the car is being used, it has popped up on my dash while the car is parked and while the car is in motion. Twice in the last year, after just starting up the car, while still being in park the esc light will show up and I will not be able to put the car into gear, I have to shut off the the car and restart it.
Tl the contact owns a 2009 Saturn Aura. On several occasions, while the vehicle was being driven, the rear brake lights illuminated independently when the brake pedal was not depressed. Additionally, the service traction control warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per an unknown recall regarding the service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control. Freedom Chevrolet Buick GMC by ed morse (located at 8008 marvin d love fwy, dallas, TX 75237, (972) 330-4981) was contacted by phone and confirmed that the vehicle was no longer included in the recall. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.
The brake lights of my Saturn Aura would automatically self-activate exactly 5 seconds after the driver placed the vehicle into drive. The brake lights would stay active until the driver pressed the brake pedal, at which time the brake lights would actually deactivate. My son was driving the car on I-94 and was almost struck by a semi truck when my son pressed the brake pedal and the brake lights deactivated (turned off). I had the car serviced at gm and had to pay a total of $697. 03 to get the car fixed even after I notified the service representative that this exact electrical failure was outlined for this exact car in gm recall #13036. The recall referenced the body control module and brake sensor, both of which were replaced causing me to pay $697. 03. This is my second notification to the NHTSA, I reported this on June 19, 2019 (NHTSA # 11221201) but I have received no response. As of today's date (September 3, 2019) gm has not reimbursed me.
Tl the contact owns a 2009 Saturn Aura. While driving at an unknown speed, the brake lights illuminated. While the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights failed to illuminate; however, once the brake pedal was released, the brake lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to moran Buick GMC (14000 telegraph rd, taylor, mi 48180, (888) 350-0669) where it was determined that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repair was completed. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Driving and my brake lights come on. I stop and they go off. As I'm driving I feel resistance like my brakes are being pushes.
The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control). While driving 65 mph, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and both exterior brake lights illuminated. The contact later depressed the brake pedal, but the brake lights failed to illuminate until the contact fully depressed the brake pedal. The failure recurred multiple times and at various speeds. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that they could not assist and that the contact should pay for diagnostic testing out of pocket. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
This vehicle has supposedly already been serviced under recall campaign number 14v252000. However, intermittently, the brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights don't illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty engaging or disengaging the cruise control, and crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features become disabled. The date given below for occurrence of the incident is just the most recent occurrence. This issue can happen on a daily basis and has been returned to the dealer that performed the recall service but nothing is found to address the incident.
I own a 2009 Saturn Aura. Last year, it was recalled due to a fault with a break light malfunction, causing the break lights to remain illuminated at all times. I took my Saturn in to my local gm technician to have the issue addressed at that time. Unfortunately, the issue has retuned to my vehicle within the last month, and my brake lights are constantly on while I'm driving the car, unless I actually use the break pedal, at which point, they go off. I am at odds with my local gm shop as to looking at this issue again (as it was a safety recall), and I'm hoping I can get some kind of authorization or voucher to perform this service again to take care of this already-recalled issue. Gm would like to charge me to perform a service diagnostic test, and cannot guarantee that the original terms of the recall would be honored. I don't feel it is right to spend money on a vehicle safety issue (under a recall, no less) considering that gm has already recalled my car once and this is the same problem I had in the past which prompted the original recall in the first place. It is dangerous to drive my car in its current condition, and I believe unfair for gm to take advantage of treating this repeat issue as a "new" issue. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!.

Lost brake lights - electrical issue.
When the car is braking, the brake lights do not come on. Other times, the brake lights are consistently on without pressing the brake. I was just alerted to this by another driver and am unsure how long this issue has been present. I tested this twice and the brake lights are not properly working.

My brakes lights are illuminated, while I'm driving and not pressing the brake pedal. The brake lights go off when I press the brake pedal. The "service esc / service traction" is more-often-than-not illuminated on the instrument panel. When "service esc / service traction" is lit, the cruise control will not work.
Driving home from work boss behind me in his car flags me over told me my brake light stayed on except when I brake they just blinked then I do not know how long this has been happening.
As I am driving the check engine light come on and off along with the ecs light. Also while I'm driving the brake lights are on and I have to either tap the brake or drive while lightly pressing the brake to have the light to go off. I have had the brake light switch replaced twice and it still does not seem to work.
My son was pulled over by the local police for faulty brake lights. His brake lights work sometimes, stay on after he has released the brake pedal or don't come on at all. I read of similar problems with this same make and model of vehicle and wanted to report this issue.
Cruise control dropped off unexpectedly and the brake lights remained on throughout the rest of the drive. The brake lights stay on when passed 4th gear and the Saturn shifts unnaturally between 4th and 6th gears between 50 and 70mph.
The brake lights are on all the time unless I ride my brake pedal. They wont come back on when I press the brake pedal till I almost lock up the brakes. Lots of electrical gremlins in this pos car.
When driving the vehicle, the brake lights would come on randomly and would turn off when the brake pedal is pressed. They would operate in the opposite way that they should. This is extremely dangerous because vehicles behind you don't know when you are braking. This has been happening intermittently for months now.
Rear brake lights work intermittently. Most of the time they do not work but there are rare occasions that they do work. I for sure know that the third brake light doesn't work almost all the time.
