2007 Saturn Aura lighting problems

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds and shifting gears, the gear display did not change color to indicate what gear the vehicle was in. The dealer was contacted and determined the shifter performed as designed. The consumer stated it is impposible to see at night which gear he has the vehicle in. There is no light or indicator on dash or the console. Updated 12/28/06.

A fellow driver waved me down to tell me that my brake lights were "backwards," I.e., the rear brake lights were on until I hit the brakes, then all rear lights went off. Worrisome, to say the least. An internet search revealed a likely problem with the bcm, with which there seems to be a grounding issue. I took the car in for service, and they were able to fix this issue. Other items have come up over time: no response to the remote control to unlock the doors (other buttons can be intermittent).
