| When driving the vehicle, the brake lights would come on randomly and would turn off when the brake pedal is pressed. they would operate in the opposite way that they should. this is extremely dangerous because vehicles behind you don't know when you are braking. this has been happening intermittently for months now. | |||

| Brake lights work opposite of expected. that is: they are on when accelerating and go off when braking!! this is very dangerous. i have had it to gm dealership 3 times and they say it drove fine, and charged me a diagnostic fee. granted traction control light only goes on sporadically to cause this mess which also causes cruise control to not work. just because saturn is no longer a car maker, there seems to be a cover-up by gm to ignore this problem. yet the employees get $6,000. bonus checks. to only have 212 of these complaints is the tip of the iceberg. the web blogs are loaded with these complaints and no quick fix of conductor jell to help corrosion will fix the chip that has gone dangerously wrong. this is an accident waiting to happen in detroit rush hour commutes each day when brake lights are reversed! please help me. i think it is unethical to sell the as is to someone uninformed, so yet i keep driving it each day. note that very often i get yelled at in car washes to get off my brake due to this reversal error in brake lighting. they will verify my problem even though gm will not. | |||
