Car would not start, needle gauges flickering, inside lights on, dash lights on, but would not start or allow vehicle to move out of park. Car acted like it was locked up. Tried jumping vehicle twice but absolutely nothing. All the complaints I have read have been exactly what has happened with my car from the gas surges where I have pulled out into traffic and the car would have no power and I thought I was going to be hit, to the cruise control not working and then spontaneous coming on. We have had the car in for work at least three times for incidentals. I am fixing to trade this in from all the negative responses I have read. I am really worried about the electrical starting a fire, the car seems to have a mind of its own! Never have seen needles moving on gauges when car is completely disengaged with no keys even in ignition.

The mechanical brake switch sticks in the open position. The driver depresses the brake pedal but the switch does not close and the brake lights do not come on. At least eight other complaints about this issue appear to be listed on the ntsb web site, however, many drivers appear to be unaware that the brake lights do not work and instead, they complain about a second symptom of the stuck switch: that they are unable to shift the car out of park. The owner's manual does describe a way for the driver to overcome the shift interlock problem but fails to mention that the brake lights may fail when this problem occurs. It appears that a number of people who encounter this problem continue to drive the car and rely on the shift interlock override without realizing that their brake lights are not working. I do not know if this same switch is used to disengage the cruise control, but it is common in other vehicles for the brake light switch to also disengage the cruise control. If that is the case with this model, then the stuck switch might also prevent the cruise control from disengaging when a driver taps the brakes.
