My 2008 Saturn Aura had the transmission shift cable safety recall completed. The same rollaway condition has returned. GM and the dealer refused reinspection and repair, stating the vehicle ‘has lived its life.’ This recall addresses a known rollaway safety risk, and the condition still exists.

While driving and not touching the brakes, the brake lights are illuminated as if you are braking. When you do apply the brakes, the brake light goes off and there is no indication that you are slowing and braking. The cruise control in turn does not work as it thinks you are applying the brakes at highway speeds. This has been a recall before for this car and was repaired but is happening again.
