2007 SATURN AURA Complaints

THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH IS INCORRECTLY PROGRAMMED, THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE LAMPS TO OPERATING IN A CONSTANT STATE OF ILLUMINATION WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED, WORSE YET THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AND RELAY. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE FOR RECALL PONTIAC G8 RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V172000. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 SATURN AURA AND RECENTLY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD ONSTAR DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY ONSTAR PERSONAL STATED THAT THE CODE REGARDING THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT, MEANT THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WAS IN A WRECK. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TALKED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SATURN AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER, MEANING THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN MY CAR THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD SPOKEN TO A LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO MY LIGHT COMING ON AND SHE HAD STATED THAT SHE WAS THERE FOR THAT SAME REASON. SHE ALSO DRIVES A 2007 SATURN AURA. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. LET ME REMIND YOU THAT MOST PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A SEDAN IS USUALLY KIDS. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 SATURN AURA IN JULY OF 2008. IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL. THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS INCLUDED; THE CAR NOT STARTING UP TWICE IN THE DEAD OF WINTER RESULTING IN IT BEING TOWED ONCE AND JUMPED ONCE, THE BRAKES SQUEAK UNBELIEVABLY LOUD AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN APPLYING MORE PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BLEW OUT, THE ALARM REMOTE WILL LOCK THE DOORS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT, WHEN PUT IN THE PARKING GEAR THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN MY FOOT WAS RELEASED OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TOWED, WHEN PUT IN PARK ON A SLIGHT DECLINE THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE BUT ONLY ROLLED FORWARD. THIS RESULTED IN THE CAR BEING TOWED AGAIN. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS TOWED I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL AND HAD TO PAY FOR THE GAS WHICH WAS AN EXTRA EXPENSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH. THE POWER OUTLET FOR CELL PHONE CHARGERS DID NOT WORK SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START UP, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE STALLING." THIS WAS THE RESULT EACH TIME. HOWEVER, A SHIFTER CABLE WAS REPLACED, BUT DID NOT HELP AS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING INTO REVERSE. ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT REVERSE OR PARK, THEY SAID "COULD NOT DUPLICATE." *TR

THE FRONT AIR DAM ON MY 2007 SATURN AURA HAS BROKEN OFF THE CAR. I HAD VISITED ALLDATADIY.COM AND FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CAMPAIGN 07215 DATED AUG 2007. WHEN I HAD MY CAR IN FOR STATE INSPECTION IN MARCH 2008, THE DEALER(SATURN OF SYRACUSE) TOLD ME THE PART WOULD BE REPLACED AS THEY HAD SEEN OTHER AURA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE ORDERING PARTS. WHEN I CHECKED BACK WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT GENERAL MOTORS DECIDED NOT TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT PART. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM ON OTHER GM CARS. *TR

2007 AURAS BRAKES ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE WITH WARPING GROOVES CUT INTO ROTORS AND RUST PROBLEMS,ONLY 30000 MILES ON CAR. SERVICE MGR. SAYS MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT WONT FIX IT.MGR.SAID IT WILL HAPPEN OVER AND OVER UNTIL AURAS BRAKES ARE REDESIGNED ITS ALSO A PROBLEM ON THE 08 MODEL. I THINK BRAKES ARE OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE IN SAFETY AND A MANUFACTURER SHOULD MAKE SURE TO CORRECT ON GOING PROBLEMS, GOD FORBID THESE BRAKES FAIL FROM POOR DESIGN. *TR

I LEFT MY LIGHTS ON ACCIDENTALLY OVER NIGHT, KILLING THE BATTERY. AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY WITH STANDARD CABLES, DONE BY A MECHANIC FRIEND, MANY OF MY ELECTRICAL FEATURES ARE OUT OF SERVICE MAINLY THE RADIO/CD PLAYER IS POWERLESS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LAKELAND SATURN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THAT I MUST HAVE FRIED THE RADIO ITSELF, AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND AM WONDERING IF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
