2008 Saturn Aura complaints

POWER DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO UNLOCK. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST OCCURRENCE IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. POWER DOOR LOCK MECH FAILS TO UNLOCK ON DOOR, THIS WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE DOOR TO NOT UNLOCK. CONCERN IS IN A ACCIDENT, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT CAR. MANUFACTURE SEEMS TO KNOW THIS HAPPENS. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE A FAIRLY LARGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I'VE READ ARTICLES ONLINE THAT LEAD ME TO BELIEVE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. READ SOMETHING ABOUT FAULTY WIRING CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHT... *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR SEEMED TO SHIFT ODDLY BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. ROUGH, JERKY AND REVVING WHEN IT DIDN'T NEED TO. WHEN I WAS BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE GARAGE, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER. IT HESITATED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND THEN IT FINALLY MOVED. I HAD TO DO THIS TWO OR THREE TIMES TO GET INTO MY PARKING SPOT AND EACH TIME IT WAS WORSE. I CALLED THE SHOP AND HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE I SUSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING ISSUES, AND EVEN SAW ONLINE THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS ON THE SATURN AURA FOR THAT YEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION NOW ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR NEAR MY HOME I TRIED TO GO IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR ALSO WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. *TR

LOST COMMUNICATION WITH TRANSMISSION, GM TOLD ME TCM, I REPLACED FOR $1277. GOT THE CAR BACK STILL SAME PROBLEM NOW THEY SAY I NEED A TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL. *TR

ON SATURDAY, JUNE 14 MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I MOVED THE FLOOR GEAR SHIFT DEEPER INTO THE PARK POSITION AND IT STARTED. ON MONDAY, JUNE 16 I PARKED MY CAR AFTER PURCHASING AN ITEM AT DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT START. THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED THROUGH ALL OF THE INDICATORS (PRD...) AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS NEARLY HITTING ANOTHER CAR. I CALLED FOR A TOW, AND THE DRIVER NOTED THE PROBLEM. TODAY, PEP BOYS COMPLETED REPAIR OF THE THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THERE WAS A MISSING PART. THE INCIDENT NOTICE (HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2008/SATURN/AURA/RECALLS/) RECALL ID # 103875 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFTPLUSHIDE DETAILS RECALL DATE: APR 30, 2014 MODEL AFFECTED: 2008 SATURN AURA SUMMARY: 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. CONSEQUENCES: 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 INCREASE

EXITING ROUTE 53 AT LAKE COOK ROAD AT 30 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR STARTING SWERVING AND WENT DOWN INTO A DITCH FOR NO KNOWN REASON. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. MY SON WAS IN THE REAR LEFT PASSENGER SEAT. AS I BEGAN TURNING THE WHEEL, THE CAR LOCKED UP, HESITATED, THEN QUICKLY SPED UP. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR, THE VEHICLE STUCK THE CURBSIDE AND THEN A TREE. MY SON AND I WERE NOT INJURED, ONLY SHOOK UP. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE ADJUSTER INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL ON THE SATURN AURAS. *TR

STEERING WILL NOT STAY STRAIGHT WANTS TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT. STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE WHILE IDLING. WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENS CAN BE HAIR RAISING AND DANGEROUS. *JS

WE PURCHASED A 2008 SATURN AURA XE 3.5 V6 WHITE IN COLOR IN JANUARY FROM A CARMAX IN NEWPORT NEWS THE FIRST DAY WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT HOME THEY DIDN'T ALLOW US BECAUSE THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A AIRBAG LIGHT SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY,NOW A COUPLE AMOUNTS DOWN THE ROAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS OFF MOST OF THE TIME WHEN A PERSON OF 120+ POUNDS SITS IN THE SEAT ITS BECOME A HAZARD AS I HAVE TWO TEEN BOYS AND A DAUGHTER THAT HAVE TO RIDE IN THIS CAR CARMAX WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY WARRANTY I NEED ADDITIONAL HELP THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH THE PONTIAC G6 CARS THAT'S WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHILE IN PARK OR WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 73,985 WAS AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I PARKED MY CAR, THEN TURNED THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND PULLED THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND AND OUT OF THE IGNITION BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I INSERTED THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT FORWARD (IN THE SAME MANNER AS ONE WOULD TO START THE CAR) AND THEN, TURNED THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND THIS TIME, THE CAR TURNED OFF AS USUAL. A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED TODAY WITH GM AT: 800-553-6000 AND WAS GIVEN AN SR# BEGINNING IN 71- AND ENDING IN [XXX] . TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS OF A GM RECALL REGARDING FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES FOR SATURN AURA'S. I FAIL TO BELIEVE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. *JS

2008 SATURN AURA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE, WAS NOT ON THE RECALLED LIST, BUT SHOULD BE. *JB

VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO PARK. TRANSMISSION CABLE BROKE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT GM WON'T HONOR IT FOR THIS LOT OF VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2008 SATURN AURA, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN I WASN'T PRESSING THE BRAKES, SOMETIMES WHEN I DID PRESS THE BRAKES THEY WOULDN'T COME ON. MOST PEOPLE THINK I'M BEING SILLY WHEN I TELL THEM THAT. "WELL, HOW DO YOU SEE THEM?" I WORK AT NIGHT SO MOST OF MY DRIVING IS DONE IN THE DARK AND I HAVE PRETTY DARK TINTED WINDOWS, I COULD SEE THE REFLECTION PLAIN AS DAY. EVEN STOPPED AND GOT OUT JUST TO MAKE SURE. COUPLE DAYS AFTER I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS, I NOTICED TO RADIO LIGHTS (RADIO BUTTONS) WERE NOT WORKING BUT WHEN I ROLLED UP THE WINDOWS OR ADJUSTED THE POWER SEATS THEY WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF SUPER FAST ALONG WITH THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS. MY SPEAKERS WHEN OUT SOON AFTER THIS. I CALLED GM NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THERE NOT WILLING TO HELP AT ALL. I'M SICK TO DEATH BY THE THOUGHT THAT THERE JUST GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS. IT'S A PROBLEM THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED VERY SOON. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK LAST NIGHT AND I NOTICED THIS BURNING SMELL KINDA LIKE BURNT WIRES... ALL GM HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT IS "I CAN HELP YOU FIND A LOCAL DEALER BUT, WE CANNOT PAY FOR THE CHARGES. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AT THE MOMENT TO FIX IT. IT'S LIKE $200.00 FOR THE TEST ALONE! I'VE CALLED GM EIGHT TIMES IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS AND THERE DOING NOTHING. I NEED HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AT NIGHT TIME, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DURING THE WINTER OF 2013 I STARTED NOTICING MY DOORS WEREN'T ALWAYS LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. THEN I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH I PARKED MY CAR AT A MALL AND COULDN'T RESTART (BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN GEAR) IT BUT AFTER TRYING TO START THE IGNITION AND SWITCHING GEARS I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THESE EVENTS SOON LEAD UP TO MY SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONING AND THE CAR GETTING STUCK IN DRIVE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PARK IT ON A CITY STREET. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS AND ONCE TURNING THE CAR OFF I COULD NOT RESTART IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL INVOLVING THE SHIFTER CABLE TAB HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM. IN FACT, WHEN I CONTACTED GM I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT APART OF THIS RECALL. BOTH THE DEALER AND GM SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A KNOWN FACT THAT THERE WERE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CARS THAT HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A "LOOPHOLE" THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE THE PART FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THIS RECALL. THE FACT THAT I WASN'T NOTIFIED AND INITIALLY GIVEN A HARD TIME BY GM IS VERY ALARMING. *TR

OPENING THE DOOR AND SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE SEAT SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT. AS I GOT OUT OF THE SEAT, IT ROCKED TO THE LEFT. THE WELDS ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE FRAME ON THE BASE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKEN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 6 AM IT THERE WAS SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND. AS I WAS DRIVING MY TRACTION CONTROL KEEP GOING ON AND OFF. AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT KEEP GOING ON AND OFF. THE ONLY PROBLEM I THOUGHT I HAD WAS FOR MY BRAKE LIGHT TO RANDOMLY COME ON. WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW IT CAUSE ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS TO COMPLETELY GO OUT. I WASN'T GOING BUT 35MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS SPINNING AND IN THE DITCH. I GREW UP DRIVING IN THE SNOW KNOWING TO DRIVE A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR IN THE SNOW IT'S BETTER THAN A REAR. NOT UNTIL THIS WINTER HAVE I HAD A PROBLEM. IN THIS INCIDENT I SPUN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL NOTHING THAT I COULD DO TO TRY AND PREVENT IT. YES I KNOW THE SNOW IS NOT SAFE CONDITIONS TO DRIVE IN. I HAVE CLEAN RECORD NOT ONCE HAVE I BEEN INTO A WRECK NOR HAD PROBLEMS DRIVING IN THE SNOW. I HAD TO HAVE TOW TRUCK GET MY CAR OUT OF THE DITCH AFTER LEAVING IT THERE CAUSE I WAS TOO COLD TO BE IN IT. NOW MY DRIVERS SIDE BACK IS DENTED AND A HUGE CATCH DOWN THE CAR. *TR

RIGHT REAR LOCK STOPPED WORKING, REPLACED IT, THEN LEFT REAR STOPPED WORKING, NOW DRIVERS DOOR LOCKING PART TIME, SO THAT WILL SOON STOP. ON 5/25/14 WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. AFTER KEY WAS TURNED OFF AND REMOVED IT RESET. THANK YOU *TR

2 YEARS AGO I COMPLAINED TO GM CONCERNING THE CAR MOVING WHEN IT WAS IN PARK TO NO AVAIL. ON WED MY GRANDSON WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN IN THE AUTO WOULD NOT SHIFT. AS HE I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE IT WOULD NOT BACK UP. I HAD HIM DRIVE TO THE END OF THE CU-DE-SAC WHERE WE COULD TURN AROUND AND BROUGHT THE CAR HOME WHERE IT HAS SAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE IT RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE IN REVERSE GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. RK

THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGEMENT. PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR COMING ON WITHOUT CAUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT SUPPORT BRACKET FRACTURED WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN CAUTIOUSLY TO THE RESIDENCE. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR, CONFIRMED BY THE TRANSMISSION CENTER THAT HAS IT: THE TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE IS BROKEN AND THE SNAP RING WHICH HOLDS IT IN PLACE IS IN PIECES. ALL PARTS ARE BEING SAVED FOR ME. A DETAILED REPORT IS BEING PREPARED. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #09-07-30-012 WAS ISSUED BY GM ON THIS DEFECT. NO RECALL HAS EVER BEEN ISSUED. THE FAILURE RESULTING FROM THIS ERROR IS COMMON, AND INCONSISTENTLY ADDRESSED BY GM. THERE IS NO DRIVER ERROR OR MAINTENANCE ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE THIS FAULT. MY CAR RECEIVED REGULAR DEALER SERVICE THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND NO MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM WAS EVER MADE, NOR DID ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP OFFER TO REPAIR IT, EVEN WHEN ANOTHER SERIOUS ENGINE REPAIR, ALSO UNDER WARRANTY, AND ALSO DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR, WAS BEING UNDERTAKEN. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER A PUDDLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN IN PARTIALLY INTO THE DIRECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR WILL MOVE BY ITSELF. IT WILL SHAKE AND TURN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. WHILE THE CAR ITSELF DOESN'T JERK WHEN IT DOES IT, IT'S EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING. IT WILL HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR

UNABLE TO PUT CAR IN PARK, I HAVE TO PLACE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON IN ORDER FOR CAR TO NOT MOVE WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO START IT, AND THEN PLACE IT IN THE DESIRE GEAR. *TR

AFTER STOPPING THE CAR, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE. THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY POSITION. THEREFORE, VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING. VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS WAS "SHIFT CABLE SEPARATED" AND REPLACED THE CABLE AND BRACKET FOR A COST OF $345.26. GM HAS REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER RECALL # 14152. I HAVE SUBMITTED THE DETAILS TO THEM TODAY AND REQUESTED THEM TO COVER IT UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY WHILE SECURED IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V224000(POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 203,000.

I EXPERIENCED THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ROLLAWAY PROBLEM, BUT MY DEALER SAYS MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

IT'S HARD TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW THE BRAKES POWER STEERING AND LIGHT HAS TO BE CHANGED FREQUENTLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FAILED WHILE IN A PUBLIC STREET, AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE IN REVERSE (IT COULD NOT BE PLACED IN PARK). DURING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGE ON THE SATURN AURA THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN THE EXISTING GEAR (REVERSE), UNABLE TO BE PLACED IN PARK OR CHANGED FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD. THIS HAS THE IDENTICAL RESULTS AS RECALL "NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000" AND "NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V460000". THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD THE RECALL WORK FOR 12V460000 COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, AND AFTER CONTACTING GM WAS STATED TO NOT BE AFFECTED BY 14V224000. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT ALL SATURN AURA'S SHIFT CABLES ARE FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

JUST RECENTLY MY 2008 SATURN AURA HAS BEEN HIT OR MISS WITH STARTING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED 1 MONTH AGO & THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE; 45,000. THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. NO NOISES, IT JUST WON'T TURN ON. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY MANY TIMES FOR IT EVENTUALLY START. I'M WONDERING IF IT'S POSSIBLY THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS. I KNOW THAT GMC HAS HAD RECALLS ON OTHER MAKES/MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE & SO I'M WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOW BE ADDED TO THAT LIST.

MY VEHICLE LOSSES POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN ACCELERATING OR AT FULL SPEED, THE STEERING IS FINE. I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED. THE POWER STEERING FLUID REMAINS FULL. I HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IN AND OUT OF PARKING SPACES, THE MANUAL STEERING IS VERY TOUGH TO USE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE AUTO WAS TAKEN TO "WRENCH ON WHEELS" ON 04/21/2014 AND POWER STEERING WAS INSTALLED AT MY COST OF 389.97. I HAVE A BILL FOR THIS AMOUNT THAT I CAN SUPPLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND IT REQUIRED FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE MORE THAN ONCE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:14V153000 (STEERING) AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19020.

THIS IS AN ISSUE I EXPERIENCE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALER. IT HAS SINCE RETURNED AND IS GETTING WORSE. REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING AND IN NEUTRAL ALTHOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION ONCE THE BREAK LIGHT TURNS ON. WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED LIGHTLY AND THE BREAKS ENGAGE SLOWLY, THE BREAK LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF. UPON MODERATE TO HEAVY BREAKING THE LIGHTS WILL THEN TURN BACK ON. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. UPON RELEASING THE BREAKS I WILL HAVE APPROX. 7 SECONDS WHERE I CAN USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE BREAK LIGHTS ARE OFF BEFORE THE LIGHTS TURN ON AGAIN AND DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. DURING THAT 7 SECONDS LIGHT BREAKING WILL STILL NOT TURN ON THE BREAK LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT BUT IS APPEARING MORE REGULARLY. DURING A RECENT 40 MILE TRIP I COULD USE THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR A COUPLE MILES, THEN LOOSE IT FOR A COUPLE MORE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON, THEN REGAIN NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY FOR A COUPLE MORE, ETC. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM WITH SATURN AURA - KEY WILL SOMETIMES NOT GO IN FULLY, OR WILL NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT CONSTANT PLAYING WITH THE KEY, SHIFT MECHANISM AND/OR IGNITION ITSELF. GIVEN GM'S RECENT RECALL ON MORE THAN 1 MILLION VEHICLES IN THE SATURN, CHEVROLET AND PONTIAC LINEUPS, I FEEL THIS IS A LINGERING ISSUE WITH MY CURRENT VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

FIRST WAS DOOR LOCKS KEPT LOCKING BY ITSELF RESULTING IN DEAD BATTERY. 2ND WAS TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON AT A STOP LIGHT. 3RD WAS CAR ALARM GOES OFF WHEN ITS NOT SET. MOST RECENTLY ESC ACTIVE CAME ON DURING LIGHT ACCELERATION MERGING INTO TRAFFIC CAR WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED VERY NEARLY CAUSING BEING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES LUCKILY NO ONE WAS KILLED. 5TH THE RADIO TURNS VOLUME DOWN BY ITSELF AND YOU CAN HEAR COMPUTER OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IN DASH. DEALER SAYS NO CODES PRESENT. THERE MAY NOT BE A CODE BUT ALL THIS IS HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE ON A CANYON ROAD CAUSING ME TO CROSS INTO THE ON COMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WHY ISN'T OUR GOVERNMENT FORCING THE SAME THING HERE? *TR

I NOTICED THAT IT WASN'T SHIFTING INTO GEAR LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. AND THEN IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. I HAD TROUBLE DRIVING IT THERE. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT VERY FAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T WORK FOR THEM EITHER. THEY HAD TO PUSH THE CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2009 WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME BUT ONLY GOT A FEW MILES WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE IT TOWED. THIS WAS AND IS VERY TROUBLING WITH ALL THE GM RECALLS. THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE ANOTHER YEAR ON THE CAR AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I NEED HELP WITH THIS. *TR

I WAS TURNING THE CORNER WHEN THE SEAT SHIFTED TO THE LEFT AND THEN THE SEAT BROKE. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE BACK OF THE SEAT IT LOOKS AS IF THE SEAT BROKE APART FROM THE BOLT THAT WAS HOLDING IT IN PLACE. *TR

WHEN YOU HAVE THE CAR IN PARK IT IS NOT ALWAYS IN PARK AND IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT WILL NOT START BACK UP. SO WHEN WE TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN IT WILL NOT START, SO WE HAVE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO START IT THAT WAY. WHEN WE MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT TO PARK IT IS NOT ALWAYS IN PARK. WE THINK THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN THE ABOVE ACCIDENT. THE CAR ROLLS BACK. BEFORE WE BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THIS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE WHERE OUR CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR AND ANOTHER TIME WHERE I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT THAT WAS JUST BECAUSE NO ONE WAS PARKED DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT IN TIME BEFORE I HIT THE CARS PARKED SEVERAL FEET AWAY. *TR

THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACK UP ONCE YOU HAVE STOPPED AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKES. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON; IT HAD NEVER STALLED OR JERKED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR, THIS IS A COMMON FLAW. ANOTHER OWNER LEFT THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12V460000 ON THE INTERNET. I DON'T KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS NUMBER. I DO KNOW THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AT 100,000 MILES OR 6 YEARS AFTER OWNERSHIP. THIS IS A $4,000.00 REPAIR. MOST ALL CONCERNED HAVE TWO YEARS OF CAR PAYMENTS LEFT OWING ON THEIR CARS. GM HAS SELECTIVELY CHOSEN SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL OWNERS AND REPAIRED THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
