My service ESC/service traction control indicator was flashing. It caused my car to stall, then the engine died in the middle of the road with traffic approaching behind me. I have had this problem before and it caused my brake lights to illuminate when not depressed and go off when the brakes were pressed. I am not sure if this was happening also as it was light outside and I could not see. The car started afterward and still periodically stalls or dies when the service ESC/service traction control indicator lights up. As of 6-13-14, I have not received notice that my VIN is affected by the latest recall for the brake light problem.

The brake lights do not come on when the brake pedal is pressed. They stay on as if I am always applying the brakes. When I press the pedal they go off. I understand there may be a recall but when I called local Chevrolet dealerships there is no recall on my VIN. Basically the brake lights work in reverse order. I understand this is a problem with many of these vehicles, why is there no recall from the GMC to correct this hazard which could result is a serious accident. I have had 3 new brake sensors installed at the GM dealerships.. 2 of them.. it is not the brake sensor and the costs continue to rise each time I take it in for a new sensor.
