2007 SATURN AURA Complaints

SINCE PURCHASED ISSUE WITH STEERING, HAD ALIGNMENT BEFORE PURCHASE BUT STEERING IS JUST SIMPLY OFF. THE CRUISE WORKS WHEN WANT AND SCARE ME WHEN PICK UP SPEED GOES TOO FAST. WE WERE IN A GROUP FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER AND PERSON BEHIND ME SAID MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING BACKWARDS, WHEN NOT APPLYING BRAKE, BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, WHEN APPLIED BRAKE LIGHTS ON. THERE WAS MECHANIC IN GROUP HE CHECKED, SAID COULD BE WIRING AND TAKE TO DEALER. WHEN PUT ON SIGNAL HAVE TO HOLD AND WHEN IT DOES WORK HAVE TO CUT OFF. I WOULD REALLY ENJOY THIS CAR, BUT DO HAVE SOME ISSUES. LOOKED UP RECALLS HAD NINE, CALLED DEALERSHIP ONLY 2 CAME UP, BUT ONE HAD TO DO WITH BRAKES. NEW OR USED LOOK UP RECALLS BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE. *TR

THE 6T70 TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO 2009 HAS A FAULTY WEAK WAVE PLATE. CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL, BEGAN TO START SLIPPING AT 3RD GEAR. WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, BUT THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN DRIVE WITHIN 6 MILES AFTER THE PROBLEM PRESENTED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IRONICALLY I WAS HEADED TO THE GM DEALERSHIP. GM HAS NONE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY MADE CHANGES TO THE TRANSMISSION IN 2009, BUT HAVE YET TO ADDRESS THE FAULTY UNITS STILL ON THE ROAD. *TR

LEFT SIDE OF POWER DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSED WHILE ROUNDING A CORNER. UPON EXAMINATION IT APPEARS THE WELD BROKE ATTACHING A VERTICAL BRACKET TO A HORIZONTAL TUBE THAT EXTENDS UNDER THE WIDTH OF THE SEAT NEAR THE REAR AND IS CAPPED ON BOTH ENDS. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE DATA SOURCES, IT APPEARED THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN ISSUE" THAT EXTENDS ACROSS THE PLATFORMS THAT SHARE THIS PARTICULAR SEAT DESIGN(CHEVROLET MALIBU, PONTIAC G6, SATURN AURA) AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. I'D LIKE TO ADD MY INCIDENT TO THE RECORD. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR CYCLES ON/OFF EVERY TIME THE PASSENGER SHIFTS IN THEIR SEAT. THE DEALER WANT $1,200+ TO REPAIR THIS $1 PART AS THE SYSTEM IS MIS-DESIGNED. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL LIKELY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK AND FELT THE REAR OUTER CORNER DROPPED ABRUPTLY AFTER BEING SEATED FOR MAYBE A MINUTE. CAR SEAT IS NO LONGER ATTACHED ON THE OUTER REAR EDGE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF HIT FROM BEHIND. *TR
