Check engine light is on u have a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu car cuts off when I apply the brakes

SOURCE: 2006 Malibu Maxx ss hard shifting/Check engine light

There is no dip stick. Its most likely not the fluid. These malibu's use the first generation GM LAN system. Check the data cord comming from the transmission near the mechanical shifting linkage. Alot of these shifting issues and errors are from a break in the wiring causing bad data to be sent/rvcd to/from the computer control module- these cars are electronically controled shifted, not mechanical.

SOURCE: brake lights stay on

u will need to replace the brake light switch, it is located at the top of the arm the brake pedal is attached to, simple hand tools to replace, very easy job, part very cheap.

Check for clearance between the rotor and the caliper,and caliper to the rim.Make sure one ,or more of the brake pads where not accidently put on backwards,with the metal on the rotor,it happens sometimes.
