2007 SATURN AURA Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016 AND HAVE SPENT MORE THAN $2000 MAKING REPAIRS UNAWARE THAT THAT THESE REPAIRS COULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS: . IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT. THESE FLUCTUATIONS CAN CAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THESE CONDITIONS: THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED; THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED; DIFFICULTY DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL; MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF THE 'PARK' POSITION WITHOUT PUSHING THE BRAKE; AND DISABLEMENT OF CRASH AVOIDANCE FEATURES SUCH AS TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND PANIC BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES. ANY OF THE ABOVE FAILURE CONDITIONS INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE MAY FRACTURE. IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, WHEN THE DRIVER GOES TO STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT THE LEVER TO THE "PARK" POSITION, OR REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE "PARK" POSITION THERE IS A RISK THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY AS THE DRIVER AND OTHER OCCUPANTS EXIT

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON CRIUSE CONTROL DON'T WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE WAS REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE BY TOM BELL CHEVROLET (800 ALABAMA ST, REDLANDS, CA 92374, (909) 283-0690). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND THE BRAKES HAD TO BE GRADUALLY DEPRESSED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHIFTED INTO PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AND FORCED THE CONTACT TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. ANOTHER UNKNOWN DEALER STATED THE SAME THING AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DISASSEMBLE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO FIND THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT ON AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS NO ONE IN SEAT WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, ENGINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. WHEN DRIVING AROUND 60MPH THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' AND 'TRACTION OFF' WOULD FLASH, REDUCING THE CAR SPEED AND MAKING ACCELERATION NEAR IMPOSSIBLE- SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE TRIP. CAR ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY AND CAUSES TRAFFIC BUILDUP. RPM IS AT 5 (X1000)/MIN AT JUST 30MPH AND THE ENGINE IS MAKING LOUD NOISES. SOMETIMES WHEN STALLED OR AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT COMPLETELY AND THE CAR WILL DIE. ALMOST CONSISTENTLY THE CAR WILL RATTLE AND SHAKE IN A PULSING MATTER. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. OFTEN TIMES THE ENGINE IS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND A LEAK AROUND THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER (ALAMO CITY CHEVROLET, 9400 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216, (210) 265-6130) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE POWER STEERING LINE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS OF EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE ONTO THE GROUND AND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES ON THE VEHICLE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING PUSHED AND THEN WILL EVENTUALLY GO OFF.

SINCE NEW, WE HAVE HAD PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUES, IE: NOT SENSING AN ADULT PASSENGER. BRAKES HAVE BEEN OPERATING POORLY, WITH REAR PADS WEARING OUT, AND FRONT NOT. FOUR NEW MASTER CYLINDERS, PADS & ROTORS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. NOW MID 2018, STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM UNDER REAR OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER SATURNS, HAVE A FUEL LEAK RELATING TO THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES. I SUSPECT THE SAME FOR OUR CAR. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FULL THE TANK IS, AND OF COURSE IT IS PARKED. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. WE LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE IT IS HOT. WE NOW HAVE ABOUT 130,000MILES ON THE CAR.

I TRIED PULLING MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE AND MY CAR GOT STUCK IN DRIVE AND WILL NOT SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR. AND SINCE IT'S STUCK IN DRIVE IT WILL NOT START BACK UP.
