TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD FLASH AND SUDDENLY REMAIN ILLUMINATED.

FUEL SMELL, TOOK TO SATURN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, REPLACED FUEL PUMP AT A COST OF $1272.13. AFTERWARD, I FOUND ONLINE REPORTS OF POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP DEFECT FOR 2007 SATURN AURA BUT COULDN'T FIND INFORMATION TO VERIFY IF THE CAR QUALIFIES FOR ANY REPAIR OR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

DRIVING AT 60MPH..SUDDENLY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL , ENGINE POWERED DOWN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED CAR OVER.SHUT IT OFF, ALL CODES BUT ALL CODES BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WERE CLEARED. LATER ON WHEN I STARTED IT UP AGAIN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED ONE WEEK EARLIER, THE MECHANIC CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND PUT A NEW AIR FILTER IN ..$150.00.READING ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, IT MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM..CAR IS RUNNING FINE..I RECENTLY SPENT $3000.00 REPLACING STRUTS, BUSHINGS, BRAKES, ALIGNMENT, OIL CHANGE SWAY BAR LINKS, ETC ETC. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL IGNITION FAILED TWICE ON CAR ONCE IN 2009 AND IN 2015 IT HAD ISSUES IN PRIOR YEARS IN BETWEEN DATES WITH IGNITION SWITCH AND KEYS GM SAYS IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEAR GMS ARE RECALLED FOR IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT CRACKED AT THE FUEL LINE PORT AND CAUSED GASOLINE TO LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. VERY SIMILAR TO AN OPEN RECALL ON 2007 SATURN IONS, BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL AGAINST THE AURA FUEL SYSTEM... *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2014. I CALLED CONTE CHEVY OF FREEPORT, NY, 516-623-9600,THEY ADVISED ME THEY WOULD NOTIFY WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. I'M STILL WAITING. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO NEXT THANK YOU *TR UPDATED 3/15/2016*JS

AIRBAG ALERT ON MESSAGE CENTER. WE TOOK IT IN AND THE REPAIR WAS AT LEAST A THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FAILED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC AND VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,622.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF THE SAME DAY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. TOOK IT FOR SERVICE, SAID IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED BUT IF LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IT WAS LIKELY THE TIMING CHAIN AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. LIGHT WAS ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER SERVICE AND THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME (THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT LIGHT CAME ON). TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN. GOING TO COST ABOUT $2700 AND 2-3 DAYS TO FIX. NOT SURE WHY THIS MODEL WASN'T RECALLED WHEN THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PART. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN THAT GM IS AWARE OF A SHIFTER CABLE FRAYING, BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT. *TR
