What owners wrote
Brake lights work opposite of expected. That is: they are on when accelerating and go off when braking!! This is very dangerous. I have had it to GM dealership 3 times and they say it drove fine, and charged me a diagnostic fee. Granted traction control light only goes on sporadically to cause this mess which also causes cruise control to not work. Just because saturn is no longer a car maker, there seems to be a cover-up by GM to ignore this problem. Yet the employees get $6,000. Bonus checks.
Brake lights do not illuminate correctly. The lights may illuminate while brakes are not pressed and vehicle is in motion. There are times when the vehicle is stationary or brakes are pressed and the lights fail to illuminate.
