2007 Saturn Aura

Defect. Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain replacement intermediate steering shafts sold under the Dorman, OE Solutions, and Solutions brand names, part numbers 425-167, 2425167, and 7-3074, for installation on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura vehicles. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.

Risk. A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dorman will notify owners, and dealers will refund the purchase price or replace the steering shafts, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. 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.

Risk. Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on April 29, 2014, that they are recalling 56,214 model year 2007 and 2008 Saturn Aura vehicles. On May 22, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 1,074,899 model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured from May 16, 2003, through October 5, 2007, model year 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured from June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, and model year 2005-2008 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured from May 26, 2004, through September 28, 2007, and equipped with 4-speed transmissions. The total number vehicles being recalled is now 1,131,113.

Risk. If the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the ‘PARK’ position, the transmission may not be in ‘PARK.’ 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 the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and GM dealers will replace the shift cable assembly and mounting bracket, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 14152.

Defect. General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Saturn Aura and model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.

Risk. If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'PARK' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'PARK.' The vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 9, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

Unknown Shifter locks and won't start. Driving on interstate and the engine started to rev up. The tac showed excessive pressure. Esc and traction lights appear. This car has only 110,000 miles on it.

The automatic transmission shift cable, has malfunctioned. The center piece that connects to the gear shift has melted, and prevents the car from starting and shifting gears. The damage was created due to high temperatures from the motor, being that it is very close to it. This should be replaced by the manufacturer.

My car gear shift slides through the gears but wont shift out of park. Something is wrong with the transmission shift cable. I see an active recall for this exact problem on my type of car (NHTSA 14V224) but for some reason my vin isn’t showing up.

I'VE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP ILLUMINATING WHEN NOT PRESSED AND HAS DESTROYED TWO BRAND NEW SETS OF ROTORS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS DUE TO HOT SPOTS AND STRESS FRACTURES. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHETHER I'M DOING CITY OR COUNTRY DRIVING. ALSO THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WILL FAIL TO LIGHT UP SOME OF THE TIMES WHENEVER I'M ONLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT WILL REFUSE TO LIGHT UP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.

MY BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD MY DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB ONLY DRIVER DOOR HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK PASSENGER AND BACK LOCKS .FRONT SUSPENSION KEEPS VIBRATING AND MAKING CLINKING NOISES.

POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE LINE FAILED WHEN THE HOSE BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE END CRIMP. THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOST ALL OF ITS FLUID RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING IN REVERSE AT A SLOW SPEED AND MANEUVERING OUT OF A GARAGE.

SO TODAY DRIVING TO WORK CAR RAN FINE GOT OFF MY EXIT CAME TO THE RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. WHEN I GAVE IT GAS TO GO THE ENGINE REVED UP AND WENT BUT VERY SLOWLY THEN IT STOPPED REVING AND DRIVE FINE. THEN ON MY WAY HOME DID THE SAME THING TILL I WENT TO PULL ON TO THE STREET I LIVE ON AND HAD TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BUT REV THE ENGINE. HUSBAND IS CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUILD LEVELS. BUT HAS NEVER DUN THIS IN THE YEAR I HAVE HAD THIS USED CAR. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. HAVE READY A LOT OF FOURMS AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. BUT NO RECALL

WILL NOT EASILY SHIFT INTO 2ND OR 3RD WHILE DRIVING IT SHIFTS VERY HARD AND AT HIGH RPM

HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON

SINCE THE CAR WAS REPURCHASED FROM ANOTHER BUY THE CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH IT. IT BLOWS A FUSE CONSTANTLY CAUSING THE REAR TAILLIGHTS NOT TO WORK WHEN THE FUSE IS THEN REPLACED IT LAST A DAY OR SO THEN BLOWS AGAIN. THIS C NOT IN NUESBTO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER REPLACE THE TAILLIGHTS WITH NEW ONES. WE REPLACED THE ENTIRE THING NOT JUST THE BULBS. THE HEADLIGHTS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THEM THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND GO OFF AS IF IT'S GOT A SHORT IN IT SOME WHERE. THE BATTERY HAS A SHORT SOME WHERE I THINK. AT TIMES AFTER DRIVING IT WE GO TO SHUT IT OFF AND WE'LL GO IN THE STORE AND COME AND THE CAR WON'T START. WE HAVE HAD TO WAIT 2-3 HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD START UP AGAIN. SO SINCE WE LIVE IN THE DESERT IT BEING HOT WE STARTED CHECKING THINGS. WHEN THE BATTERY IS LIFTED UP ON OR MY BED AROUND THE CAR WILL THEN ATTEMPT TO START BUT IT JUST MAKES THE NOISE LIKE IT IS TRYING TO CRANK OVER AND THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE IGNITION HAS ATTEMPTED TO START ITSELF WHILE MESSING WITH THE BATTERY. AND THE IGNITION GETS STUCK. SOON AS WE LET GO OF THE BATTERY IT STOPS TRYING TO DO ANYTHING. WE HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER THE BATTERY AND OTHER THINGS AND NOTHING'S WORKS TO FIX IT. ALSO THE DOOR LOCKS LIKE TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE RANDOMLY ON THEIR OWN AS IF THE CAR IS HAUNTED. CAUSING US TO DISCONNECT THEM ALL TOGETHER.

SERVICE ESC WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON RANDOMLY CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT PUSHING THE BRAKES. BRAKE LIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL AND HAS BEEN IN FOR THE RECALL TWICE BUT STILL HAVING ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION CAN BE MOVED FROM PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LIGHTS WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE OWNED THIS 2007 SATURN AURA SINCE 2017 AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER THERE IS A FRONT PASSENGER OR NOT, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I'M USING THE CAR THAT DAY AND THEN OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT COME ON FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AND ON RARE OCCASIONS THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN OFF THAT ENTIRE DAY. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR AT WHAT SPEED THIS OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY RANDOM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THAT CURRENTLY HAS 109,00 MILES ON IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.

THIS CAR HAS ONLY 79501 MILES. WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE ( CLONK !!!!! ) ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING IT AND USE MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP I FEEL VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT

THE SATURN AURA HAS REPEATEDLY HAD DOOR LOCK SWITCHES GO OUT, EACH TIME THE FRONT HEAD LIGHT IS REPLACED, IT BLOWS OUT AGAIN, THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR DIM RANDOMLY. THE TRACTION CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS ARE DISABLED ON THE CAR CONSTANTLY DESPITE REPLACING THE ECM, UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE GASKETS, COOLANT FLUSHING, AND OTHER CLEARED CODES. THE CAR JERKS AND JOLTS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, PARKING, STARTING, AND CHANGING GEARS. IT VIOLENTLY PUSHES THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ALSO REMAIN CONSTANT DESPITE CONSISTENT WORK ON THE CAR. FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (INCLUDING A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE CAR ALSO ENGAGED LOW POWER MODE AND ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE'S ABS, TRACTION AND ECM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL POWER AND STEERING WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND CAR CAN NO LONGER MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER ( IT HAS FRIED A ECM IN UNDER TWO WEEKS). *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY START ON THERE OWN. THIS WILL LAST ABOUT 15 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR. WHEN BROUGHT INTO A MECHANIC THEY CANT HELP.

I PARKED MY VEHICLE AND CALLED MY HUSBAND CAUSE I WAS PANIC THAT I ALMOST GOT HIT BEHIND ME TILL I PULLED INTO CENTER LANE I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT.

WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THAN GOES OFF AND WILL NOT REGISTER THAT A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT.

YEARS AGO, I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY TRANSMISSION MIGHT BE FAULTY AND TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. LAST WEEK, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO BACKWARD. THE GEAR SHIFT (AUTOMATIC) WOULD NOT RESPOND AT ALL. I HAD TO BACK THE CAR INTO ANOTHER SPACE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHILE STILL IN REVERSE. A TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SAID THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE CAME LOOSE. THE REPAIR, IF DONE AT ALL, DID NOT LAST.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WENT INTO REVERSE. BUT THEN WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE RIGHT AFTER IT KEPT GOING IN REVERSE. I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. LUCKLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME THAT GOT INJURED. I THEN PUT CAR IN PARK AND NO CAR IS LOCKED UP IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVEWAY. WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR INCLUDING NEUTRAL.

TODAY WHILE GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY MY CAR WHEELS STARTED TO SHAKE AND THEN MY CAR WOULDN'T GO AND TAKE CARE OF FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLAT TIRE BUT WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE IT IT WOULDN'T GO LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK IN DRIVE BUT NO LUCK. I'M THINKING IT'S THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE BUT THEN AGAIN I DON'T KNOW

GEAR SHIFT CABLE WAS RECALLED A FEW TEARS BACK AND I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED. IN AUGUST 2018 IT BROKE AGAIN. I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PUTTING MY CAT IN REVERSE AND THE CABLE BROKE AND WAS STUCK IN REVERSE, I PAID FOR IT TO BE FIXED. IN LESS THAN A YEAR (APRIL 2019) IT HAS BROKEN AGAIN, DOING THE SAME THING, MOVING MY CAT FROM A PARKING SPOT AND THE CABLE BROKE AND ONCE AGAIN STUCK IN REVERSE.I CAN'T GET ANY INFORMATION UN REGARDS TO WHY IT KEEP HAPPENING. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREAT. ...

WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR GETS STUCK AROUND 35 MPH. IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. IT REVS LIKE IT WANTS TO AND EVEN STARTS BUCKING. SORRY I DON'T KNOW THE TECHNICAL TERMS FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW WITH NO WARNING. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ONCE. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS TODAY'S DATE. IT'S THE MOST RECENT THAT IT'S HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS WOULD NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE WHILE IN ANY GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE ROLLING WHILE IN PARK, REVERSE, OR DRIVE AND HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT A CRASH. IN ADDITION, THE ONSTAR SYSTEM (VOICE COMMAND) AND RADIO WOULD ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN DUE TO AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL WIRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY PUCKETT CHEVROLET (2101 COBBS FORD RD, PRATTVILLE, AL 36066, (334) 223-4481) AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED MORE THAN FOUR TIMES DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO GO INTO PARK WHEN YOU DO THINK YOU HAVE IT IN PARK IT ISN'T ANOTHER GEAR AND AS LURCHED OUT AND ALMOST SMASHED A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED ME WITH THE CAR IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE A TENDENCY TO ROLL BECAUSE IT IS NOT FULLY GOING IN THE PARK AND I CANNOT EVEN START IT

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

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.
