I replace brake pads and rotos, and i am also being told it could also be my brake light switch or speed sensors, all was replace still as message. There is so many complaints with these messages that this should be considered a recall and the customers are being stuck with the repairs. It is obvious that it is a defect with these vehicles it is just too many. And no onw seems to be standing behind the consumers. Mbusa is a major company and they are getting away with murder. Do you have to have major fatality before they do something about this problem.
