I was on the interstate then I realized my car was slowing down. I pressed the accelerator and that's when I noticed the RPM passed three. I noticed both my front tires were smoking. I took it to the dealership and he told me he replaced the brakes and the caliper. A month later, it did the same thing. He then told me it need to be replaced again and I have to pay.

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 come on when foot is off the brake pedal. Brake lights will only turn off it pedal is tapped but brake lights will again come on a short time later 10 seconds +/- without foot on pedal. Also the cruise control will either not engage or will disengage on its own. The brake light problems is obviously dangerous. I've talked to several other people who have this same problem with the Aura, G6, Malibu build platform. Please issue a safety recall.

- Cedar Rapids, IA, USA

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.

Brakes lights are reversed. Brake lights are on when my foot is off the brake pedal (when the car is parked, when I am accelerating/coasting). When I press on the brake pedal the lights go off. This issue is intermittent. When the issue is occuring the cruise control does not work and I also have to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor to put it in gear. I have had it in the shop on and off for years no one can seem to fix it. This is a safety issue, please recall.

- Warrenton, VA, USA

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.

I have a 2007 Saturn Aura xe my problem is the seat motors housing driver side are starting to come apart when I move seat up/down the parts make a grinding noise and the frame is poking through the seat on the left back side lower cushion that is sticking me in the butt when I get into car.also the front brakes get really shaky when I have to stop suddenly on rough roads pedal seems to go to floor and brakes make loud clunking noise its a little scary to say the least. Also the post for my gas cap that allows the door to pop open fell apart the pin fell into the mounting hole and whole assembly is coming apart.

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!

Hard shifting from park to drive/reverse. Most of the time I have to press on the brakes really hard to get out of park and when I press on brakes it makes a scraping sound. Also while driving the center brake light comes on and will not go out until I press on the brake. When I press on the brake the brake light goes out and cars behind me almost run into me. This occurs often. I don't know if it happens during the day but it does at night because I can see the center brake light via my rear view mirror.

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.

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.

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 08/15/13 the rack and pinion was replaced.
