| While driving at 68mph with the speed control engaged, the speed control turned off. i looked in the rear view mirror and saw break lights on. i checked the mat to verify that it was not pressing the pedal. i then depressed the pedal, the car slowed and the break lights turned off. now the brake lights are always on when the pedal is not pressed, and they turn off after pressing the pedal. this causes other drivers to not be aware that i am stopping. | |||

| The brake lights on my daughter's 2009 chevrolet malibu come on while she is driving & her cruise control stops working. she took her car into the dealer & 2 other people were there with the same complaint. the service dept. said it was fixed but the same day as she picked it up, it happened again. while driving down the highway @ 70 mph with the cruise on, the brake lights come on and stay on until she presses the brake pedal. the brake lights go out while she is applying the brakes & come back on when she releases the brake pedal. also, she also can no longer set her cruise control. after the vehicle has been parked for a few hours, the cruise & brake lights work properly. anyone following her, especially @ night, might assume that she is stopping while driving & driving whilst stopping. i am concerned that this could cause a fire if the problem is electrical in nature, (both taillight bulbs have recently burnt out or shorted out & been replaced). i am very concerned that this could cause a serious accident. | |||
