NHTSA Complaint #10362867 — 2007 SATURN AURA

2007 SATURN AURA. BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT GO ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. IF I SET THE CRUISE AFTER I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN OFF THE BRAKE LIGHTS, THE CRUISE WOULD ENGAGE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THEN TURN OFF AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON AGAIN. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THIS ONLY OCCURRED AT NIGHT, SO WONDER IF IT'S TIED IN SOME WAY TO THE HEADLIGHTS. CRUISE AND BRAKES WORK FINE DURING THE DAY. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC TODAY AND HE REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH. HAVEN'T DRIVEN AT NIGHT TO SEE IF PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. *TR
