2008 SATURN AURA Complaints

WHEN PUSHING ON BRAKE PEDDLE THE CAR SHACK'S TAKEN INTO BE REPAIRED TWICE HAD TO PUT NEW DISK AND ROTATE DISK CAUSE WARPED STARTING TO DO AGAIN THIS WILL BE 3RD TIME REPAIRED MECHANIC NOT SURE WHY

WHILE DRIVING AND NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AS IF YOU ARE BRAKING. WHEN YOU DO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT YOU ARE SLOWING AND BRAKING. THE CRUISE CONTROL IN TURN DOES NOT WORK AS IT THINKS YOU ARE APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL BEFORE FOR THIS CAR AND WAS REPAIRED BUT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUGHT WARNING, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW THAT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT

BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED. LIGHTLY PRESSING ON BRAKE PEDAL DEACTIVATES BRAKE LIGHTS. FULLY PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL WILL CORRECTLY ACTIVATE BRAKE LIGHTS. UPON RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL BRAKE LIGHTS WILL DEACTIVATE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE ACTIVATING ON THEIR OWN. AT FIRST THIS STARTED HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY BUT HAS PROGRESSED TO HAPPENING AT ALL TIMES INCLUDING WHEN STATIONARY IN PARK, AND IN MOTION. DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ACTIVE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT I AM DOING, CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION.

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN IDLE. THE SHAKING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS ARE ANY SPEED AND DRIVING ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.
