I OWN A 2007 SATURN AURA XR I BOUGHT IN 2008. IT HAS 69,600 MILES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT FOR $2400.00 BECAUSE IT HAD STRETCHED. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT GM HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #11340C ON THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK AND NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES, FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY ENGINE CODE IS LY7, SAME AS THE OUTLOOK AND OTHER VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY I'VE ALREADY HAD 1 RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, JUST GOT A NOTICE OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, AND I'M ON MY THIRD SET OF COMPLETE BRAKES IN JUST 69,600 MILES AND I NEED ALL NEW BRAKES AGAIN. ROTORS ARE WARPED AFTER10 TO 15,000 MILES! ALSO THE "SERVICE TRACTION" LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING PERIODICALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I'M GETTING NO ANSWERS OR HELP FROM GM OR IT'S DEALERS. *TR

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH MESSAGE. I CONTACTED GM SINCE THIS MODEL IS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE THE ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO REPAIRS AVAILABLE FOR IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON MY OWN AND I AM SCARED OF THE CAR NOW. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 35MPH POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS LOST, TURNED INTO MANUAL STEERING. I AM A FAIRLY NEW DRIVER, 21, SO I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO REACT. IT HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY. HIT A CENTER ISLAND, FOR A LACK OF A BETTER TERM. CALLED GM, THEY HAD SOMEONE INSPECT THE CAR. SAID THERE WAS NO DTC CODES DETECTED. SO THERE FOR THEY ARE CALLING ME A LIAR. MY PARENTS ALSO HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE SHORTLY BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. GM REFUSE TO MAKE DAMAGE REPAIRS. ONLY DO RECALL REPAIRS. I ONLY BOUGHT THE CAR ONE WEEK BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED. *TR
