Description of the problem | On multiple occasions the brake lights will illuminate when the brake is not being depressed, when this happens, the cruise control will disengage. If i then apply the brakes, the brake lights will go off and stay off, even if i come to a complete stop. Also, while in motion, if this problem happens, i can tap the brakes and the lights will go off.... I can then set the cruise control again, and it will work for a few seconds until the brake lights come on again. Other motorists have told me my brake lights stay on while i'm in motion, and go off when i stop. This is a big safety concern, and someone's going to be injured. Gm recalled 2005-2006 models for this same issue, but didn't extend it to 2007 models. However, i've read numerous accounts of this issue happening in 2007 models. Can't something please be done before someone is hurt? I'm bringing it in as i'm afraid to keep driving it this way, and will have to pay to have them fix it, but i've heard the fix is only temporary, and i'll have to bring it back many times. |
