2007 SATURN AURA Complaints

HAD BRAKES CHANGE THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY FOR FAULTY BRAKE PADS. SAME THING WITH THE BRAKES IN ABOUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. POWER STEERING WHINES AND LEAKS SOMEWHERE. NO POWER STEERING. AND NOW WHEEL BEARING HUBS HUMMING AND BAD. WENT TO DEALER FOR BRAKES THEY REPLACE BOTH TIMES BUT NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT. TOLD THEM I BELIEVE BOTH WHEEL BEARING ARE BAD ONLY REPLACE ONE. AND KNOW OTHER ONE IS WORSE THEN BEFORE. AND ALSO TOLD THEM POWER STEERING WAS NOT GOOD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKING NOT THE STEERING. ALSO I HAD TOLD THE TIRES LOST AIR THE REPLACED ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT . NOW HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER ONES. AND NOW ALL IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVERYTHING I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TOTHE CONNECTOR FOR THE COMPUTER INSIDE THE DASH JUST AS NOTED UNDER NHTSA RECALL# 14V252000. I AM CERTAIN THIS IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE FOLLOWING ADVICE I FOUND ONLINE BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED I USED AN ELECTRONICS CLEANER ON THE CONNECTOR AND IT HELPED BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BRAKE LIGHTS EITHER DON'T WORK OR STICK ON. MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T WORK. IF I DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE PLUG SEVERAL TIMES IN SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORK BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE SO I KNOW FOR SURE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I'VE CHECKED MY VIN AND FOR SOME REASON GM HAS NOT INCLUDED MY CAR IN THE RECALL. THIS IS B.S. PRIOR TO THE RECALL I PAID GM DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY FAILED EACH TIME. NOW THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY CAR HAS BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO NOT INCLUDE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL IS FOR 2007 SATURN AURA'S WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM MY CAR HAS. I CANT USE MY CAR BECAUSE I CANT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL NOT WORKING. ITS A FREAKING LAWN ORNAMENT. *TR

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALER AND LESS THEN THREE HOURS AFTER DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT I WAS IN TRAFFIC IN THE TWIN CITIES AND THE ENGINE GAVE OUT ON ME. I HAD BRAKED BECAUSE OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. LUCKILY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME, ON 35W, DIDN'T HIT ME AS I WAS STUCK AT 35MPH AND CRAWLED OFF OF THE ROAD. I DO A GOOD AMOUNT OF CITY DRIVING AND THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IN A MUCH WORSE POSSIBLE SCENARIO. I GOT THE ERROR CODES P0700 P0776 FROM THE ENGINE, TURNS OUT THAT MY WAVE PLATE BROKE AND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO SATURN CARS FOR YEARS AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I COULD HAVE EASILY GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND DIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. IT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN PREVENTED TOO. I'VE BEEN CONNED OUT OF A LOT OF MONEY BY GM ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT I'M ALSO HAPPY JUST TO BE ALIVE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH AND EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR DRAMATICALLY SLOWED AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR. RPMS JUMPED EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE CARS TRANSMISSION WOULD REMAIN IN FIRST GEAR. LUCKILY I WAS EXITING AT THE TIME OR WHO KNOWS WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES MAY HAVE BEEN. THE CAR NO LONGER SHIFTS IN REVERSE AND REMAINS IN 1ST GEAR. I CONTACTED GM AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT BUT STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS REFLECTING THIS PROBLEM. WAVE PLATE SHIFTER CABLE? I AM NOW AWAITING AN APPOINTMENT AT A LOCAL BUICK DEALER TO DETERMINE THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY TRANSMISSION. *TR

2007 SATURN AURA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG, TRANSMISSION AND OTHER VEHICLE DEFECTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY OFF WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN HE ACCELERATED UP AN INCLINE. A SMALL GAS SPOT FORMED UNDER THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE LEAK WAS FROM FILLING THE FUEL TANK FULL. ANOTHER DEALER, STATED THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP.*JB

2007 SATURN AURA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS, ONE BLINKER AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT BLINKED OFF AND ON. ALSO, SHE SMELLED BURNING FUMES AT TIMES. *JB

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. I WAS PASSING THROUGH THE TOLL BOOTH AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NOTICED THROUGH MY REARVIEW MIRROR THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I STEPPED ON THE BREAK AND THE WENT OFF. I MUST SAY BECAUSE FEARED IT WOULD BE A COSTLY FIX I IGNORED IT FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I SAW ANOTHER SATURN AURA WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE BEHIND THE ELDERLY WOMAN UNTIL WE BOTH AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I PULLED ALONG SIDE HER TO INFORM HER OF WHAT I SAW. I ALSO TOLD HER MY CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING. SHE THANKED ME FOR TELLING HER A DROVE OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME HE DID BELIEVE IT WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT COULD BE ABSOLUTELY SURE UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FOR THE DAY. AGAIN NOT REALLY IN A POSITION TO FIX WHAT MAY BE COSTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. FINALLY I WAS STOPPED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST AND HE EXPLAINED THAT WHILE DRIVING BEHIND ME HE NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON BUT AS WE APPROACHED THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHICH WAS RED I SLOWED DOWN( STEPPING ON THE BRAKE) AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF UNTIL I WAS AT A FULL STOP AND MY FOOT WAS PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BREAK THEN THE BREAK LIGHT COME BACK ON. AS SOON AS I SAW THE RECALL I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY BRAKES AND THE FACT THAT WHEN I TRY TO MOVE MY GEAR OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE I SOMETIMES HAVE TO FORCE IT BECAUSE IT SEEMS STUCK.THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW ITS NOT. THIS I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT MY CAR WOULD BE DOING ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN TWO RECALLS BUT MY CAR(BASED ON MY VIN#) IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE GM IS TYING TO MINIMIZE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE CARS THEY WILLING SOLD KNOWING THEY HAD ISSUES. *TR

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP DURING TURNS. VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL FELT DURING TURN. *TR

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THEN I REALIZED MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE RPM PASSED THREE. I NOTICED BOTH MY FRONT TIRES WERE SMOKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME HE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE CALIPER. A MONTH LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING. HE THEN TOLD ME IT NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND I HAVE TO PAY. *TR

I PUT MY 2007 AURA IN REVERSE NO PROBLEM, BUT WHEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE, ENGINE JUST REVVED AS IF IN PARK. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. SO I CAN REVERSE THE CAR BUT NOT MOVE FORWARD. *TR
