The brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights will not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features. The car is available for inspection upon request. I am put at risk because there are multiple system malfunctions that occur that could result in a wreck or injury. The brakes selectively illuminating can result in a rear end collision and is not safe for travel. The traction control malfunction is unsafe for safe travel on the road. When the problem occurs the TSC will disengage with a light on the dashboard. The brake lights will stay illuminated.

While driving, the brake lights will remain lit up even though the brakes are not being engaged. My electronic stability control (ESC) light has been popping up alot lately, almost every time the car is being used, it has popped up on my dash while the car is parked and while the car is in motion. Twice in the last year, after just starting up the car, while still being in park the ESC light will show up and I will not be able to put the car into gear, I have to shut off the the car and restart it.

The brake lights of my saturn aura would automatically self-activate exactly 5 seconds after the driver placed the vehicle into drive. The brake lights would stay active until the driver pressed the brake pedal, at which time the brake lights would actually deactivate. My son was driving the car on I-94 and was almost struck by a semi truck when my son pressed the brake pedal and the brake lights deactivated (turned off). I had the car serviced at gm and had to pay a total of $697.03 to get the car fixed even after I notified the service representative that this exact electrical failure was outlined for this exact car in gm recall #13036. The recall referenced the body control module and brake sensor, both of which were replaced causing me to pay $697.03. This is my second notification to the federal safety agency, I reported this on june 19, 2019 (the federal safety agency # 11221201) but I have received no response. As of today's date (september 3, 2019) gm has not reimbursed me.
