FOR DAYS LEADING UP TO EVENT, I WOULD SHIFT INTO PARK BUT CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK, E.G. IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, WHILE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK POSITION, CAR WOULD IDLE FORWARD OR BACK. ON THE DAY OF PART FAILURE, I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK, COULD NOT GET THE CAR INTO PARK, SO I SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURNED CAR OFF. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I TRIED TO LEAVE FOR A DR'S APPT AND CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED AND REPLACE GEAR SHIFT CABLE. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMPLETELY FRAYED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS BEING PRESSED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD TRY REPLACING THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000. UPDATED 09/05/13*LJ THE DEALER REPLACED WIRES AND TERMIINALS WITHIN THE CIRCUIT AND RECLAIBRATED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. SO FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN NO MORE PROBLEMS.
