Brake Light Problems of Saturn Aura - part 1

Service esc warning light will come on randomly causing the brake lights to illuminate without pushing the brakes. Brake lights will sometimes turn off when the brake pedal is depressed. This has been the subject of a recall and has been in for the recall twice but still having issues. The transmission can be moved from park without depressing the brake pedal. The lights will malfunction while driving.

Brake lights activate when brake pedal is not being pressed. Lightly pressing on brake pedal deactivates brake lights. Fully pressing brake pedal will correctly activate brake lights. Upon releasing brake pedal brake lights will deactivate for some time before activating on their own. At first this started happening occasionally but has progressed to happening at all times including when stationary in park, and in motion. Due to the brake lights being active when the brakes are not being applied other drivers are not able to determine what I am doing, creating an unsafe situation.

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 on city streets and highways the speed control will release after being set or won't set at all, the third brake light works intermittently, and the steering got jerky while turning corners.

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.

When I'm driving the brake lights are on but when I step on the brakes to stop the brake lights go off. I've had people stop me while I'm at a red light to tell me that when I stepped on my brakes my brake lights go off, but they're on while I'm driving. It's very scary. I've taking it to my mechanic but they step on the brakes the lights come on. They come on while the car is sitting still it seems like when I'm driving is when the brake lights don't work right. I drive at night time and if I'm at a red light with no brake lights somebody might run into the back of me. I'm really anxious to know what's going on. Everything else with the car seems fine.

This is a repeat problem for a malfunction that was repaired by a dealer under recall # 13036. The brake lights are not working properly. They are on (lit) when the brake pedal is not depressed. When the driver presses on the brake pedal, the brake lights go off (dark). This is an obvious safety issue and continues to occur despite a previous recall repair.

The exterior brake lights come on when not touched and go off when the brake is applied. I call gm and they told me my VIN number was not on a recall, but it seems there was a recall for this problem.

While driving approximately 45 mph and turning into a parking lot, the contact was informed by another motorist that the brake lights were illuminated for approximately three miles.

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!.

Brake lights malfunction on the 2007 Saturn Aura. Depress the accelerator and the brake lights engage - then press the brake and the brake lights turn off . . . Reverse of how they should work. When the brake lights are on they may or may not stay on - it is unpredictable. A recall is listed online (gm recall number 13036; NHTSA campaign number 14v252000). Calling gm (1. 800. 462. 8782) and Saturn (1. 800. 553. 6000) resulted in no help - they acknowledge the recall but have not associated vins or released it to dealers. This is a safety issue. The recall needs to be released immediately and when vehicles are identified to have this issue they should be cleared to be fixed immediately under the warranty.

This is an issue I experience a couple years ago and discussed this with the dealer. It has since returned and is getting worse. Rear brake lights are on while the car is driving and in neutral although the brake pedal is not depressed. Cruise control will not function once the break light turns on. When the pedal is pressed lightly and the breaks engage slowly, the break lights will turn off. Upon moderate to heavy breaking the lights will then turn back on. This is a significant safety issue. Upon releasing the breaks I will have approx. 7 seconds where I can use the cruise control and the break lights are off before the lights turn on again and disengages the cruise control. During that 7 seconds light breaking will still not turn on the break lights. This issue is intermittent but is appearing more regularly. During a recent 40 mile trip I could use the cruise control for a couple miles, then loose it for a couple more with the brake lights on, then regain normal functionality for a couple more, etc.

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.

This has been an ongoing issue for this vehicle, originally started over a year ago but happened very rarely, now it is happening nearly every time the vehicle is driven. Occasionally the brake lights will turn on and stay on. This disables the cruise control. While the lights stay on if the brake pedal is depressed the brake lights flash off and turn back on, remaining on. The electronic stability control light flashes or remains illuminated while the problem persists. Randomly the issue will resolve itself while driving. Turning off the vehicle and turning back on does not always fix the brake light issue.

The third brake light does not always respond and light up when the brake pedal is pressed.

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.

Brake lights come on when peddle is not pressed, also the cuts the cruise off without warning.

In the past few weeks I've been behind 2 chevy impala's and 3 Saturn Aura's(same vehicle) and the brake light's were on when the driver's were not using their brakes. It all happened on the thruway, and when they did use their brakes the lights shut off. This is going to be a huge safety concern for those less intelligent. I see the problem and can avoid it, can other's?.
