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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS WEEKEND AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCHED AND THAT THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR IS NOT STAYING INTO POSITION . THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE IN EVERY CAR MODEL EXCEPT THE SATURN .

SERVICE AIRBAGS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING OFF AND ON SINCE 2013. IT WILL STAY OFF AT TIMES UP TO 6 MONTHS THEN COME ON EVERY OTHER DAY FOR A MONTH THEN STAY OFF FOR MONTHS. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION USUALLY WHEN ON HIGHWAY BUT HAS COME ON WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. DEALER SAYS ITS A MODULE AND WILL COST $800.00 TO 1000.00 TO FIX. FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM. DEALER SAID AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON.

I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND THROWING CODES. MOSTLY 0641, 0107, 0106 AND 1682. I HAVE A CODE READER AND WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO CLEAR THEM. I THEY CAME BACK RIGHT AWAY I WOULD DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE CABLE AND THAT WOULD SEEM TO WORK. SOMETIMES I WOULD DRIVE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS TO A MONTH OR TWO WITH NO PROBLEMS. THEN ON AUG. 21, 2017 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN. WHEN I DID IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. SO I DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY RESET THE CODES AND UPDATED THE ECM. THE NEXT NIGHT I WAS DRIVING, CAR WAS RUNNING SMOOTH, NO PROBLEMS. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER AND TRACTION OFF WARNING CAME ON. IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND STALLED. I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND THE WAS A FAIRLY LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WERE CODES SET 1682, 0452, 0641, AND 0107. I TRIED TO CLEAR THEM WITH MY CODE READER BUT THEY WOULDN'T CLEAR. I UN DID THE NEGATIVE CABLE AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND ALL I GOT WAS A MILD CLICKING SOUND I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD, SO I THOUGHT THE ECM BURNT UP. SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT STARTED I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE NEXT DAY THE WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS NEEDED FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY DONE. NONE OF THE NOTED REPAIRS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITHE THE CAR DYING. I TOLD THEM TO JUST FIGURE OU

ENGINE TIMING CHAINS PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAD 18,800 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO SPEND 2000 DOLLARS ON HAVING THE TIMING CHAINS REPLACED. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. GM WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE MY CAR WAS JUST ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD. THE OIL WAS CHANGED ALONG WITH THE FILTER EVERY 3,000 MILES BY A DEALER . WHEN IT WAS REPAIRED THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS MISSING THE CAMSHAFT THRUST WASHERS. GM DIDN'T CARE THE TIRES WERE OUTLASTING A TIMING CHAIN THAT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR OVER 100,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALLS. THE SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION OFF INDICATOR LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON. EVEN THE SPEED ODOMETER ACTED UP. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE,IT MADE A SOUND WHEN I DID BACKED BACK. NOW, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR, I HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDDLE AS I'M TURNING THE KEY TO START IT UP. THE RIGHT FRONT AND SIDE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T DON'T DON'T WORK

I CAN NOT GET SERVICE WITHOUT MAKING MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AS REQUIRED BY GM TO INSTALL A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO THEM.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHEN PARKING AFTER A DRIVE OF ANY LENGTH, STRONG GASOLINE ODOR FROM TANK AREA. AFTER RESEARCH, FOUND IT IS A COMMON FUEL PUMP PROBLEM THAT WAS IN FACT RECALLED ON THE SATURN ION OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL. TO DATE NO RECALLS OR TSB'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED.

AT ABOUT 80K MILES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OCCUPIED LIGHT WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. AT ABOUT 93K MILES THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE ON THE INFORMATION CENTER IS ON. RESET THE MESSAGE AND THE RED SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS "ON". THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED LIGHT INDICATES "OFF".

CAR WILL NOT PASS SMOG DUE TO CODE P0017 SO I TOOK IT TWICE FOR REPAIR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. TECH SAID AN ENGINE FLUSH MAY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T WORK SO THE NEXT THING IS THE CRANK SHAFT TIMING CHAINS WHICH WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO FIX. CAR HAS LESS THAN 93,000 AND I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WILL A RECALL BE ISSUED SOON.

THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING SO, I PUT THE FOOT BRAKE ON. LATER, I STARTED THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN BUT THE RADIO WAS ON. I THOUGHT I NEEDED A JUMP AND THAT WASN'T THE CASE, NEXT I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CAPITOL CADILLAC WHERE I HAD THE THE RECALL DONE. PAUL FROM CAPITOL CADILLAC CONFIRMED IT WAS THE GEAR SHIFT BOX (CABLE). THE SAME ITEM THAT WAS RECALLED MALFUNCTIONED, AGAIN.

I'VE NOW INCURRED AN OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE DUE TO A RECALL ORDER THAT WAS HAPHAZARDLY FIXED PROPERLY 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS LATER.

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.

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT ROUGHLY. SHIFT FROM 6TH TO 5TH, OR 5TH TO 4TH GEAR WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE EXTREMELY JERKY. CAR DROPPED TO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR, ENGINE RACED TO HIGH RPMS AS SPEED DECLINED FROM 60MPH. NO REVERSE GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP. BARELY MADE IF OFF THE HIGHWAY WHILE NAVIGATING THRU DENSELY PACKED FOUR LANE HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION SHOP ESTIMATES EXCEED $4K.

WHILE DRIVING 55 ON A BUSY TWO LANE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE DINGED AND READ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ON CONSOLE, IMMEDIATELY THE IT FLASHED ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND ENGINE DISABLED AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT ALL THE WAY OFF THE ROAD DUE TO THE UPHILL INCLINE - THE CAR BEHIND ME SHOT OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR MULTIPLE CAR PILE UP. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER FOR THE FIRST TWENTY MILES - I COULD TOP OUT AT ABOUT 45 AND HEAR AN ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT SOUND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE GONE BY THE TIME I GOT THERE AND IT WAS BACK UP TO POWER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKELY A SENSOR ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. IT HAS DISABLED ON ME ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES SO AT ANY SPEED. IT STARTED THIS BEFORE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, SPECIFICALLY AS I LOST TRACTION ON SOME ICY SNOW AND SPUN THE TIRES A FEW TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS ADDRESSED I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AS THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM ACTUATORS FAILED AT 210 K. WE SOMEHOW FORGOT ABOUT THE TC PROBLEM AND THREE DAYS INTO DRIVING WITH A NEW ENGINE THE CAR DISABLED AGAIN STATING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL.

DRIVER SEAT FRAME WELD BROKE UNDER NORMAL USAGE. WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE BACK LEFT OF THE DRIVER SEAT "POPPED" AND SANK ABOUT 2 INCHES. SEAT NO LONGER STABLE. MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE WELD HAD FAILED.

CAR HAS HAD 4 RECALLS SINCE PURCHASED IN SEPT 2013. AFTER GETTING SMOGGED ON 8-MAR-17 I WAS TOLD I HAD A FUEL LEAK AND CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

I PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN. IT DROVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE DISPLAY CAME BACK ON. I HAD IT CHECKED BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE AS THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND MAKING LOUD NOISES. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED, AND THEY DID NOT SAY WHY. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TELLS ME IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND CANNOT GIVE MORE THAN A 30 DAYS WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATED ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AS A RESPONSIBLE OWNER TO UPKEEP THIS VEHICLE AS RECOMMENDED. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND DO THE RIGHT THING WITH INTEGRITY.
