THE CAR CONSTANTLY JERKS AND SHAKES... IT WONT GO PAST PAST 40 MPH WITHOUT ...THE VEHICLE SHAKING . THE VEHICLE CANT GET ENOUGH POWER..BURNS GAS LIKE CRAZY. THE GM DEALERSHIP WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES LAMPS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ALL THE FAILURES RELATED TO THE RECALL RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOOSE AS THOUGH IT WOULD DETACH FOR THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING COLUMN WAS UPSIDE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD STEERING ISSUES AND A WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING). THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 154,000.

WHEN DRIVING WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" WARNING COMES ON AND IN THE MIDDLE DISPLAY ON TOP OF THE DASH BOARD IT SAYS, "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF." WHEN I CLEAR THE MESSAGE USING THE CLEAR BUTTON ON MY STEERING WHEEL IT WILL THEN SAY, "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON." THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES EACH TIME I DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER 10+ HRS OF DIAGNOSTICS, TEST DRIVING, ETC. THEY SAY I NEED A NEW PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG MODULE AND SENSOR....AT A COST OF JUST MORE THAN $1,000. THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL 2007 SATURN AURA'S COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AT THIS POINT THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED BY GM AS A WARRANTY ISSUE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. APPARENTLY IF I GET IN A WRECK WHILE THE SENSOR SAYS THERE IS NO ONE IN THE FRONT SEAT WHEN THERE IN FACT IS, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK....AND MY PASSENGER IS LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS GM CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, I NEARLY AVOIDED A COLLISION FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH REGULAR TRAFFIC FROM AN AIRPORT. THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS RATHER COSTLY. GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT BULLETIN #11340C COVERS SOME BUT -CONSPICUOUSLY- NOT ALL GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME 3.6L ENGINE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER (DUE TO WORN TIMING CHAIN OR ANY OTHER ISSUE) IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE ENGINE / TIMING CHAIN ARE NOT BEING PROACTIVELY REPAIRED BY GM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF.

WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER THE LIGHT ON THE DASH KEEPS FLASHING FROM AIRBAG ON TO AIRBAG OFF, THIS HAPPENS WITH ANY WEIGHT PASSENGER. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A CODE OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER CHARGING ME FIFTY DOLLARS TO CHECK IT. THEY SAID IT MAY BE A SEAT SUPPRESSION MODULE THAT WOULD COST 925.06 AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

I SWITCHED MY GEAR FORM PARK TO DRIVE AND MY CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I LOOK DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAD IT IN DRIVE AND IT WAS. I PUT IT IN PARK SO I THOUGH AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BREAK MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I THEN PUSHED DOWN ON THE BREAK AND PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND MY CAR ONCE AGAIN STARED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BREAKS.

'07 AURA XR. PURCHASED MID-JANUARY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT, WITH NO ISSUES OTHER THAN AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE FLEX PIPE. STARTED NOTICING LOSS OF POWER ON ACCELERATION, ATTRIBUTED IT TO DIRTY INJECTORS/BAD FUEL. PUT IN INJECTOR CLEANER AND PREMIUM FUEL, CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY STARTED AND TOOK OFF ONLY TO HAVE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW WORSE. CAR WOULD ALMOST STALL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP, HAVE TO KEEP ACCELERATOR PINNED TO THE FLOOR WHEN STARTING, ROUGH IDLE WHEN RUNNING. NEXT STEP, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, BUT STILL NEEDED REPLACING. CHECKED CODES: P0016 AND P0017 (CRANKSHAFT POSITION VS. INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION CORRELATION BANK 1 FAULT). HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER TO HAVE ASSESSED, BUT FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ THIS IS A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN. RECALL #11340C WITH SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR EVERY OTHER GM VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THIS ONE. WHAT A JOKE. WOULD RATHER TAKE THE $2K-4K REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR AND SPEND IT ON A COMPETITOR VEHICLE.

I WAS STOPPED ONE EVENING ON MY HOME FROM DINNER WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT AND HAD TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND COSTLY REPAIR...THEN SIX MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER IN THE MAIL. I HAD FOLLOWED THE PROCESS THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND NEVER SO QUICKLY GOT TURNED DOWN DUE TO THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. PRIOR TO 2009, THIS TRANSMISSION HAD ISSUES CAUSED BY A VERY WEAK 3,5,R WAVE PLATE, WHICH MADE THIS TRANSMISSION PRONE TO FAILURE IN GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED WAVE PLATES WERE RELEASED FOR MANY CLUTCHES IN 6T70. THE OLD DESIGN WAVE PLATES WEREN'T STRESS RELIEVED AND COULD BREAK WITH USE. THE UPDATED WAVE PLATES ARE AVAILABLE. FIRST COURSE OF ACTION WAS A TSB NUMBER: PIP-4327A OWNERS OF 2007-2009 SATURN AURA AND OUTLOOK, AND 2008-2009 SATURN VUE EQUIPPED WITH THE 6T70/75 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY EXPERIENCE NO REVERSE AND SLIP/FLARE/HARSH SHIFTS IN 3RD AND/OR 5TH GEAR. CODES P0776 CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL (PC) SOLENOID 2 STUCK OFF AND P0842 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE 14404A ? SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ? TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAVE PLATE I AM REQUESTING A RECALL DUE TO HAVING DEFECTIVE PARTS...KNOWINGLY AND WAITING UNTIL CONSUMERS/CUSTOMERS WERE OVER THE MILEAGE TO GET OUT OF ANY TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT THAT IS DUE TO THEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPEATING THE SAME ANSWER BACK TO ME EVERY TIME KNOWINGLY THAT MY CAR REPAIR WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS....I FOLLOW

MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHERN CHEVROLET IN ALEXANDRIA, LA TO REPAIR A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO ME THE PANEL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SHIFT CONTROL HAD BEEN RIPPED OUT AND LEFT IN A CONDITION IT COULD NOT BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE LEFT BY TECH. IF YOU WILL FURNISH ME AN ADDRESS TO SEND THEM TO.

GAS FUMES WERE DETECTED WHEN CAR TAKEN IN FOR ANNUAL SMOG CERTIFICATE, AFTER INSPECTION GAS LEAK DETECTED COMING FROM FUEL PUMP, GAS ON TOP OF GAS TANK

I WAS HAVING AN INSPECTION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAMSHAFT CORRELATION. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCHED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $2000 DOLLARS THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE AS OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER SERVICE 11340C WHY IS THIS ENGINE NOT COVERED. *TR

REMOTE START FAILED TO TURN OVER ENGINE ONLY SIGNALED HEADLIGHTS TO FLASH. UPON STARTING CAR WITH KEY IN IGNITION THE SERVICE ENGINE ILLUMINATED AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF TO THIS DAY. WAS ABLE TO BRING INTO LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT FOR RECALL 13036 FOR BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION AND HAVE DIAGNOSTIC ON SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON MAY 6TH 2015. DEALER STATES CURRENT CODE OF P0017 AND HISTORY CODES P2070 AND P0019. DEALER CLAIMS CAUSE IS A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN AND WORN GUIDES AND WANTS AN ENGINE TEAR DOWN TO REPLACE TIMING CHAIN, GUIDES, COVERS AND EXAMINE CAMSHAFT TIMING. ESTIMATED COST IS $3271 AND 2-3 DAYS TO REPAIR. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 100,877 AND MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO COVER ANY PART OF THE REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS REPAIR AND SEEN COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THIS ENGINES TIMING CHAIN FAILING. COMPLAINTS RANGE OVER A SERIES OF MAKES, MODELS, AND ENGINES AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ON GENERAL MOTORS PART FOR YEARS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS OR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY TURNING OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAILING SENSOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT.THE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED AND DISASSEMBLED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AN APPX $800 REPAIR. AGAIN ANOTHER COMMON COMPLAINT AND REPAIR THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO COVER. MY CAR IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED WITH RECORDS AVAILABLE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, A WHINING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME SLIGHTLY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, WHO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE POWER STEERING FLUID. THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FLUSHED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING BRAKES TO MAKE THEM GO OFF. ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE UNLESS I'M AT 70 MPH OR WILL NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. *TR

I WAS ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT AS I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE, AND I HEARD A SNAP/POP SOUND. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT WAS NOT BEING SUPPORTED UP AND I COULD ALSO JIGGLE THE SIDE FORWARD AND BACK. THE ONLY POSITION THAT FEELS OK IS COMPLETELY LOWERED, BUT THE RIGHT SIDE STILL CAN MOVE SLIGHTLY BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD. I HAVE REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE CAR AND THERE IS A WELD FAILURE OF A TUBE THAT EXTENDS ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE SEAT, AND ON THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, A BRACKET CONNECTED TO A STEEL TUBE SNAPPED FROM THE TUBE. WHILE I DON'T MIND BEING LOW IN THE CAR, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE MAY GIVE WAY. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO ENGAGE AND ALL OF THE DOORS WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE JOLTED WHENEVER THE GEARS SHIFTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN THE "ON" POSITION AND MOVING. THE ELECTRICAL STAYS ON, JUST NO ENGINE POWER AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. WORST OF ALL, CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT CAN HAPPEN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN A WEEK OR IT CAN GO MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS & NEITHER ONE CAN RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. YOU LOSE THE ENGINE, POWER BRAKES, & POWER STEERING AND THE CAR IS STILL COASTING ALONG. LIKE TRYING TO A FLY A PLANE WITH NO PROPELLER. SINCE THE CAR IS COMING INTO OR GOING OUT OF A "STOP" POSITION, YOU CAN BE TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AFTER COMING FROM A "STOP" LOSE THE ENGINE, & NOW YOU ARE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION. ACTION IS TO ROLL TO A STOP WITHOUT GETTING HIT. PUT THE CAR IN "PARK". TURN THE SWITCH TO THE "OFF" POSITION EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS ALREADY OFF & RESTART. APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES (+) THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE OCT. '13. THE CAR ISN'T ON THE GM RECALL SO THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT. THEY WANT A MECHANIC TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT A MECHANIC CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT, IT HAS HAPPENED MORE SINCE THE 1ST TIME. THIS IS A GM SATURN AURA. THE IGNITION RECALL IS ONLY FOR SATURN ION. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. ALL I WANT IS A SAFE VEHICLE. UNTIL TODAY'S EVENT, IS THE CAR WANTS TO STALL/SHUT OFF BEFORE IT DOES. SO YOU GET A WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. HELPS PREPARE FOR THE INEVITABLE STALL + GIVES ME A CHANCE TO R

AS I AM DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR CUTS AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES ON AND TRACTION SERVICE AND THEN IT WON'T GO ABOVE 25 MPH BUT STARTS AT 5 MPH AND SLOWLY GOES UP AND SHAKES I HAVE GONE TO GM DEALER AND OTHER AUTO SHOPS AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO A RE ENDING WITH MY DAUGHTER IN BACK AND CAUSE A CRASH . I HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,500.

BEGINNING AROUND MARCH 4 2015, CAR BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. INITIALLY, IT WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT START UP. I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND EVENTUALLY, THIS WOULD RESULT IN POWER STEERING BEING RESTORED. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD PULL INDEPENDENTLY. AT STOP LIGHTS, IF I TOOK MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TWITCH AND SHAKE AND TURN BY ITSELF. ON SAT. MARCH 21, 2015 I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO REPAIR SHOP "PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE, (GENERAL'S HIGHWAY, CROWNSVILLE, MD; [XXX] PROPRIETOR). MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SENSORS INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WERE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. HE SAID EITHER THE STEERING COLUMN OR JUST THE SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. GM SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL NOTICE, ALTHOUGH MANY OTHER CARS IN THE SAME CLASS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WERE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATING THAT IT IS OFF COMES ON WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, REGARDLESS OF OCCUPANCY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALSO, THE 'AIR BAG PROBLEM' INDICATION, ALONG WITH A WARNING 'BEEP' COMES ON AT THE SAME TIME, ON THE DASH DISPLAY UNIT. THIS CAN BE REMOVED BY PRESSING THE PROPER BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL, ALLOWING THE ODOMETER TO BE SEEN. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, YOU HAVE NOT ASKED FOR A RECALL, AND I SEE NO TSB'S ABOUT THIS APPARENTLY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN 2007 SATURN AURAS. OURS HAS HEATED SEATS, WHICH, I UNDERSTAND WILL MAKE THE REPAIR MORE DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GM'S INAPPROPRIATE MEANS OF CUTTING COSTS IN SAFETY RELATED AREAS, SUCH AS THE IGNITION SWITCH TROUBLES INCURRED ON THE 2005 ION. *TR

I REACHED BACK OUT TO JACK MAXSON (DEALER) REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION CABLE FAILURE AND WAS ASSURED BY A GENTLEMAN @ THE DEALER THAT RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED ON MY CAR. I WAS ONLINE LOOKING UP THE ISSUES NOTED BELOW AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A MORE COMMONLY KNOWN ISSUE THEN I WAS AWARE OF WITH THE SATURN ARUA'S, ALL OF WHICH I WAS ADVISED BEING APART OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE MATTER. TO BETTER EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON I HOPE THIS LIST HELPS YOU TO UNDERSTAND , PO THESE ISSUES ARE SPORADIC. 1.SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE POWER LOCK FEATURE FAILS 2.SHIFT FORM DRIVE TO PARK THE POWER UNLOCK FEATURE FAILS 3.SHIFT TO REVERSE THE REVERSE LIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON 4.CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE STOPS WORKING (ONLY WHEN ALL THE OTHER FEATURE ABOVE MENTIONS STOP) 5.SHIFT TO PARK THE CAR ROLLS. *TR

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP. IT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AS I WAS TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IT LOCKS MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IT IS COMPLETELY STIFF..I TRIED TO DRIVE SLOWER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND IT LOCKED EVEN MORE I CANNOT GO IN REVERSE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TURN RIGHT OR LEFT...IT MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN. *TR
