2009 Saturn Aura electronic stability control (esc) problems

“THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY STAY ON. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THEY GO OFF FOR 5 SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK ON. THE ESC ALERT/TRACTION CONTROL ALERT ALWAYS TURNS ON. ACCELERATION AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. RPMS SHOOT UP AND JERKS INTO NEXT GEAR. SOMETIMES THESE THINGS ARE LIKE THIS RIGHT FROM WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, AND SOMETIMES THEY HAPPEN AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING A LITTLE WHILE. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR IT. I BROUGHT IT IN, AND WAS FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR LATER IT STARTED AGAIN BUT I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T COVER IT TO BE FIXED AGAIN.”

“WHEN IT'S HOT OUT AND I TURN A/C ON THE VEHICLE'S REDUCED ENGINE POWER POPS UP AND MY VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 10 TO 20 MPH,IF I'M ON THE FREEWAY IT DROPS DOWN TO THAT MPH AND IS SO NOT SAFE I'VE TRIED FIXING CODE AFTER CODE AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE,EVERYONE ONLINE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER AFTER TAKING IT TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERSHIPS OR HAVING THERE OWN MECHANIC TRY TO FIX IT.WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK FOR 10 MIN.IT WILL KICK ON AND DO IT ALSO.”

“EVERY SO OFTEN AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION IF ON THE MAIN ROADS OR THE FREEWAY I GET A WARNING REGARDING THE 'TRACTION CONTROL' AND ESC WARNING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE LIGHT UP WHEN I'M NOT EVEN PUSHING ON THE BREAK PEDALS. AND SOME TIMES WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, I'LL LOSE SOME SPEED AND AGAIN WOULD HAVE TO ACCELERATE WHENEVER I'M DRIVING JUST TO STAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT. IT GETS VERY ANNOYING WHEN IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP.”

“CAR READS SERVICE ECM, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION. THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE PREVIOUS ISSUES OCCURRED. CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL.UPON REDUCING SPEED TO SLOW DOWN. THEN WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, I CANT ACCELERATE WHEN ENGINE IS STILL ON. CAR WILL IDLE UP AND DOWN AND REDUCE POWER. IF CAR IS IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES, ERROR MESSAGES STATED ABOVE WILL ALSO APPEAR. CAR REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON HIGHWAY WHILE AT 60MPH, HARD TO STEER. CAR WILL HESITATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURNS AT REDUCED SPEED.”

“ANTI THEFT LIGHT IS ON, DISABLING MY CAR. WHEN THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT COMES ON ALL OTHER DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AND MY NEEDLES GO UP AND DOWN. MY MESSAGE BOARD STATES ALL PWOER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, AND LOW TIRE AIR MESSAGES. I HAVE REPLACED MY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, STEERING COLUMN, AND MY BCM & NOTHING IS WORKING. IVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHEV DEALERSHIP FOR ALL SERVICES AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON IT ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE. SINGLE MOM STUCK WITHOUT A CAR NOW, BC GM WILL NOT RECALL THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE”

“WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL REMAIN LIT UP EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING ENGAGED. MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) LIGHT HAS BEEN POPPING UP ALOT LATELY, ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS BEING USED, IT HAS POPPED UP ON MY DASH WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR, AFTER JUST STARTING UP THE CAR, WHILE STILL BEING IN PARK THE ESC LIGHT WILL SHOW UP AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE THE CAR AND RESTART IT.”
