THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND CAN SEE A REFLECTION IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR THAT MY TOP BRAKE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED FOR A MAJORITY OF THE TRIP AND CARS BEHIND ME BELIEVE THAT I AM BRAKING AND WILL TRY TO SPEED UP PAST ME DESPITE MY CAR TRAVELING AT THE SPEED LIMIT. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, IT DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AS THE CAR TENDS TO BELIEVE THAT I AM BRAKING. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY, 2011, STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE STOPPED WORKING BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. THEN A FRIEND WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME AND ASKED WHY I WAS BRAKING THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE DRIVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2011 AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPAIR IT THINKING IT WAS A BRAKELIGHT SWITCH, THEN THEY TRIED TO REPLACE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2011 AND THEY REPAIRED IT. THE REPAIR LASTED FOR ABOUT A YEAR, UNTIL IT STARTED OCCURRING AGAIN IN SEPT. 2012. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEIR REPAIRS LASTED UNTIL FEBRUARY 2013 WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM UNSURE WHO TO TAKE IT TO BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS A THIRD TIME FOR AN ISSUE THAT NEVER SEEMS TO BE FIXED AND MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR NOW AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SINCE I LEFT THE DEALER SHIP. THE CAR HAS BEGUN TO GIVE ME A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRYING TO GET TO WORK WHEN I CAME UP TO A HILL. I STARTED GOING UP THE HILL AS USUAL AND THE CAR ALL OF SUDDEN LOST ALL POWER. IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS STRUGGLING TO DO EVEN THAT. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET THE HILL WHERE I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER THE 10 MINUTES I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AND IT FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM GOING ON IN THE CAR WHY WOULD BE CLEARED AFTER 10 MINUTES OF BEING OFF? THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE THAT THE AURA IN FRONT OF THEM IN BEING FORCED BY THE COMPUTER TO SLOW DOWN. THE BREAK LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAD TO SHUT MY CAR OFF 3 TIMES JUST TO MAKE IT 5 MILES WHERE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT. THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR IS ALSO WHACKED OUT. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT WILL START TURNING THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN OLDER CARS, IT IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A BAD U JOINT. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT IS NOT. AFTER THIS OCCURRED I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED MY CAR IN PARK. THE STEERING WAS STILL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MANY DEALERS AND ASKED IF THEY COULD DETERMINE A CAUSE. ALL OF THEM HAVE SAID THE SAME THING, "I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE". I WISH I WOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO ALL OF THE REVIEWS ABOUT THIS CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPEN TO AURA OWNERS AND I THINK IT TIME GM PAYS FOR IT! *TR
