Consumer Description

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU WORK IN REVERSE. APPROX 45 SECONDS AFTER THE CAR IS PUT INTO DRIVE THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS IS NOT AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT IS CONTINUOUS. I ALSO CANNOT ENGAGE MY CRUISE CONTROLS. IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A REAR END COLLISION OCCURS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO. ALL OF WHICH COMMENT THAT THEIR AREA DEALERS CHARGED THEM A LOT OF MONEY, WERE UNSURE OF THE FIX, AND IN SOME CASES THE REPAIRS MADE WERE ONLY TEMPORARY FIXES. SEVERAL HAVE MENTIONED REPLACING PART # 15940467 WHICH IS A MODULE. *TR
