Consumer Description

I OWN A 2009 SATURN AURA XR. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ENGAGED WHILE IN MOTION BUT DISENGAGE WHEN I STOP. TAPPING THE BRAKES WILL TURN THE BRAKE LIGHT OFF BRIEFLY WHILE IN MOTION BUT IT WILL COME BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. REAR DRIVERS CANNOT DETERMINE WHEN I'M STOPPING USING THE BRAKE LIGHT AS AN INDICATOR. MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS WHICH I'M TOLD IS ALSO TIED TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE ESC WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND WILL DISENGAGE. THE ONLY REMEDY I'VE FOUND FOR THIS HAS BEEN TURNING THE CAR OFF ON. I'VE SOMETIMES HAD TO DO THIS 5 TIMES WITHIN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE RECENT PAST WOULD GO OFF AND ON UNWARRANTED BUT AS OF LATE JUST STAYS ON. *TR
