| While driving vehicle i was being followed by my daughter who thought i was riding my brakes. it turns out that the brake lights are going off when the brakes are applied and coming on when brakes are released. this also affects the cruise control as it will not work when the brake lights come on. this is a very dangerous issue. people driving behind me don't know if i'm stopping or not! there are countless numbers of people with this same problem and the dealerships don't have the answer to fix it. this should be a recall if there ever was one! *tr | |||

| I just found out last night that my 2006 chevy malibu ltz brake lights illuminate without pressing the brake pedal and when i do press the pedal it goes out. this would cause anyone following my vehicle not to see that i am braking and could cause a crash. also my cruise control and my cigarette lighter went out. i am not sure if they are all connected somehow but the brakes are definitely a concern. i will say that my car does have a salvaged title but i don't know if that would cause the safety issue. i have owned the car for 4 months and they have worked until now. i have an appointment to get it fixed and am not driving it till than. *tr | |||
