WHILE DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN YOU PUSH BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING IF YOU TAP BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTS WILL GO OUT FOR 5 SECONDS THEN COME BACK ON. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE. CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2014 AND TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL FIX. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNROLL NOW. RECALL NUMBER14V252000 FOR CORROSION IN BACK CONNECTION. I HAD BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED AND HAD COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED 3 TIMES NOW AND PROBLEM PERSIST. GM 2014 RECALL FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IS NOT A FIX. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON! WHY IS THAT?! IT COMES IN WHEN I START NY CAR AND IT JUST COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR'S BRAKES ILLUMINATE AUTOMATICALLY. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAYS BOTH. THEREFORE CAUSING ANY VEHICHLES BEHIND ME TO THINK I AM NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE 2009 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND AUTO SHOPS. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY EVERY DAY WHEN I TRAVEL IN A BUSY DOWNTOWN AREA.

ON A CLEAR DAY, TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HWY, CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON. I HAVE BEEN ASKING OTHER OWNERS IF THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IF THAT LIGHT IS ON. THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME! NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE I MOVED THE DRIVERS SEAT FORWARD. THAT IS INTERMITTENT. PLEASE, FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO DECLARE THIS WORTHY OF A RECALL. ONE PERSON DYING BECAUSE OF THIS IS ONE PERSON TOO MANY. AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS ARE OUR ONLY SAFETY IN A CAR. IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THE CARS SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THE OWNER REIMBURSED.

HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) BEGAN TO FLICKER BEFORE COMPLETELY GOING OUT A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED THE BULBS AND CHECKED THE FUSES. EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE. REPLACED BOTH HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. SIX MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF BUT WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. BOUGHT NEW BULBS AGAIN AND THEY ONLY SURVIVED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE GOING OUT COMPLETELY. SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AND INCONVENIENT DRIVE-TIME CONSTRICTION, CONSIDERING THAT I HAVE TO PLAN MY DRIVING AROUND DAYLIGHT HOURS AND HOPE IT DOESN'T RAIN. I BELIEVE IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS CAUSING THE ISSUE DUE TO POOR DESIGN OF WIRES BEING TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND CAUSING A SHORT. FOG LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS STILL WORK CONSISTENTLY.
