TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO PARK WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THAT IS WAS IN PARK. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS AN OPEN CONCURRENT INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA11015 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL) THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 7/18/12 *CN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE, ORIGINALLY STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT HAPPENED VERY RARELY, NOW IT IS HAPPENING NEARLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. OCCASIONALLY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND STAY ON. THIS DISABLES THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHILE THE LIGHTS STAY ON IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND TURN BACK ON, REMAINING ON. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES OR REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. RANDOMLY THE ISSUE WILL RESOLVE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNING BACK ON DOES NOT ALWAYS FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. *TR
