Description of the problem | General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service esc and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition. General motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2008 my chevrolet malibu (gmx380) and 2005-2008 my pontiac g6 with 4-speed transmissions (mn5); except for vehicles already repaired under safety recall 12106 12v-460 with labor code v2671 or v2672 and 2007 and some 2008 my saturn aura vehicles equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission (me7/mn5). These vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift cable may fracture at any time. |
