2007 SATURN VUE WILL NOT GOT INTO PARK. MAKES A THUMP NOISE WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE AND NO PROBLEMS GOING INTO DRIVE.

WHILE I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF WORK, THE CAR WAS RUNNING, WHEN THERE WAS SMOKE POURING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE SMOKE DISSIPATED. THIS WAS 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW MY WIPERS DO NOT WORK. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE AIR BAG WIRES HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED OUT THE WIPERS.

THE SPEAKERS IN WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. MOST OF THE TIME MOST OF THE SPEAKERS WORK, BUT OFTEN THE ONLY SPEAKERS WORKING WILL BE BOTH IN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE TWEETER IN THE PASSENGER DOOR, ALL OTHER SPEAKERS ARE DEAD. SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT A BUMP SOME SPEAKERS WILL START WORKING THEN FAIL AGAIN.

I TOOK MY 2007 SATURN AURA XR 3.6L TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. FIRESTONE ALERTED ME THAT I NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND GM WARRANTY 11340 COVERED OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME 3.6L MOTOR AND REPAIRED THE TIMING CHAIN AT NO COST! WHY IS THE SATURN AURA NOT ON THE LIST WE HAVE THE SAME MOTOR.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BOTH EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

TAKATA RECALL. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS A STUDDER WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 60MPH. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO GET STUCK AND IS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN TURNING AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. LOOKING AT REVIEWS ON THIS VEHICLE, I SEE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE COMMON WITH THE SATURN OUTLOOK AND SHOULD BOTH BE IN A RECALL.
