I just purchased my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix this past January and as I happened to be driving it home from a navy event in front of my husband (thank goodness). He pulled up along side of me on his motorcycle and let me know that I had no brake lights. Cruise control also stopped working before this, but I am assuming this all happened at the same time. He is an electronics technician and has spent hours trying to figure out what the heck is wrong. Tomorrow I am going to go ahead and call the dealership and have them look at it. I also have surging with light acceleration or at highway speeds with no diagnostics trouble codes. Both of these started at the same time, but he knows they are unrelated.
