2009 Saturn Aura complaints

WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING AND THE ESC FAILED, WHEN YOU START THE CAR THE WARNINGS FLASH THAT THAT ARE OFF, ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT THEY TURN ON THEY TURN OFF WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING, THE CAR LOSES ALL STEERING ASSISTANCE. WHEN THEY CONTROLS ARE ACTIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. FOR SOME REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING UP AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES RECALLED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT INSTALLED IN IT. THE WHOLE DESIGN OF AN ELECTRONIC MOTOR INSTEAD OF A HYDRAULIC PUMP WITH FLUID SEEMS LIKE AN INEFFECTIVE DESIGN NO WONDER IT IS FAILING AND IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT IN THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES THAT IS LISTED BY ITS VIN NUMBER

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AT ALL TIMES A 130 LB ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT SO IT DISABLES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I PAID THE GM DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION SENSOR REPLACED AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND I MUST LOOK OVER TO SEE IF THE SENSOR DETECTED A PASSENGER BEFORE I PROCEED DRIVING. I TALKED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR . THE LAST TIME I HAD IT REPLACED AT THE GM DEALER IT COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKED UP IT WAS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM WORK TODAY I GOT THIS MESSAGE // POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC// MESSAGE AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE WHILE TRYING TO TURN.THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AFTERWARDS. AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND THINGS WENT BACK TO NORMAL.

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT QUITE A FEW TIMES, RESTARTING THE CAR TURNS THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. WHILE DRIVING ANY ROAD, INCLUDING 70MPH HIGHWAYS, THE CAR WILL JOLT AND THE SERVICE ESC ALERT WILL GO OFF. IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE.

TALARA RECALL ' I TURNED MY CAR ON AND IT KEPT KILLING FORWARD IT SAID POWER STEERING STABILITY ESC ,ESC OFF, AND THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED IT KEPT ACCELERATING BY IT SELF I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I BOAUGHT A NEW ONE BUT NOT EVEN WHEN THEY SWITCHED IT OUT WOULD IT STOP DOING THAT IT KEPT JULTING

WHILE DRIVING (TWICE) ON A CITY STREET SUDDENLY THE SERVICE ESC, POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION LIGHT COMES ON AND I DO NOT HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I AM ABLE TO TURN WITH DIFFICULTY TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON, LIGHTS GO OFF AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS RESTORED.

WHEN I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE I LOSE CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AND THE SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A GAS STATION I TURNED THE CAR OFF TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING JUST FINE AGAIN.

WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD BREAK LIGHTS ARE ON. WHEN PRESS BREAK PEDAL BREAK LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL CAMPAIGN 14V252000 BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. WITH THIS I AM GETTING WARNING OF SERVICE ESC THEN SERVICE TRACTION AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL STAY ON THE DASH. DURING THESE TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT ERRATICALLY, UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING AT INCORRECT TIMES. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT SOMETIME TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE BREAK LIGHT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. THE ERRATIC SHIFTING HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN VEHICLE IS GOING GREATER THAN 35 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STRUCTURE OF THE CAR THERE IS RATTLE/VIBRATION WHEN GOING OVER 50 MPH. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTENANCE TWICE IN THE PAST 2 YEARS FOR ELECTRICAL AND BREAK PAD REPLACEMENT AND I'M STILL HAVING A VIBRATION AND RATTLE SOUND WHILE DRIVING.

35R WAVED PLATE BROKE AND DAMAGED TRANSMISSION INTERNAL COMPONENTS. ALSO DAMAGED TEAMS CASE. INDEPENANT SHOP SUGGESTED I TAKE THI CAR TO GM DEALER AS THIS IS HAPPENING ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH 6 SPEED ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED TRANSMISSIONS. GM DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS A SERVICE ACTION AGAINST THIS TRANSMISSION WITH A 6 CYLINDER ENGINE, BUT MY CAR HAS A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AND GM COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED I CONTACT NHTSA WITH MY CONCERN OF DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IN VEHICLE. MY CAR HAS 41883 MILES AT TIME OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHEN WAVED PLATE SHATTERED, I WAS DRIVING ON I-94 WEST BOUND AT 55 MPH, CAUSING THE VEHICLE INTO LUMP MODE AS I BRAKED FOR TRAFFIC.

CUSTOMER NUMBER 2440373, INVOICE NUMBER 21573.

YIELDING ONTO A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT HAD NO FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN APPLYING GAS BUT CORRECTED ITSELF. NEXT, TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ONCE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED, THERE WAS NO 3RD, 5TH OR REVERSE GEAR. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. MASSIVELY EXPENSIVE TRANSMISSION REBUILD.

CAR GEAR SHIFT CABLE HAS SNAPPED CAUSING THE ABILITY TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF CAR WITHOUT IT BEING IN PARK AND ALLOWING THE CAR TO ROLL. THIS IS A RECALL FOR 2009 SATURN AURA BUT NOT FOR ONE WITH MY VIN EVEN THOUGH IT IS THAT PROBLEM IS THE EXACT THING THAT IS RECALLED.

WITH ONLY 92500 MILES USE, VEHICLE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A HARD SOUND WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4TH GEAR TO 5TH GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ACCELERATING. DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT 35R PISTON AND WAVE PLATE ARE DEFECTIVE. RECOMMENDING TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL TO CORRECT. THIS IS THE SAME DEFECT NOTED IN PREVIOUS NHTSA ACTIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE ALTHOUGH DEALER CLAIMS VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED BY CURRENT ACTIONS.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT SUDDENLY ON THE TEX-EXPRESS TOLL ROAD IN DALLAS, GOING 75 MPH (THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT) ON A NARROW 2 LANE OVERPASS IN THE DARK HOURS OF THE MORNING. THERE WERE PREVIOUSLY NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THEN SUDDENLY I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR. I MANAGED TO GET OFF THE OVERPASS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS AND UPON PARKING IT I DISCOVERED IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE EITHER. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE WAVE PLATE BROKE AND TORE OUT THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION. OTHER GM CARS FROM MY YEAR HAD THEIR WAVE PLATES PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS AN AFFECTED UNIT. I'M CONCERNED THE PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN ORIGINALLY REPORTED.

KEEP LOSING EPS - ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WILL LOSE THE POWER STEERING PART, AND HAVE TO MAN-HANDLE THE WHEEL TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT, OF WHICH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT, DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION. NOW THAT I TAKE IT IN TO BE FIXED, AM TOLD THAT THERE IS A LIMIT OF 150,000 MILES ON THIS RECALL, I AM AT 195,000. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT, AND RECEIVED OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION, WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN EARLIER. THE EPS ERROR CAN HAPPEN ON VEHICLE START UP, OR WHILE DRIVING THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE MESSAGES SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED REDUCED TO 50 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

2/27/15 STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION W/SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY TORQUE SENSOR. IT WAS FIXED. 2/5/17 IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. RECALL FOR THIS BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WAS ALSO NOT INCLUDED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUES THAT THE OEM SHOULD COVER FOR ALL VEHICLES IN THE TIME FRAME THAT IT COVERS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONERY AND WHILE MOVING.

MY CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE MOONROOF HAS LEAKED AND I HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN THOUGH GM SAYS THEY AREN'T TO BLAME. THE LEAKS IN THE MOONROOF ARE ONLY WHAT I CAN START TO ATTRIBUTE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TO. I RANDOMLY LOOSE RADIO CONTROLS, HAVE BUTTONS THAT DON'T WORK, CANT USE MY KEY FOBS AFTER REPLACING THEM AND REPLACING BATTERIES ONLY THE "PANIC" BUTTON WILL WORK. WHAT TAKES THE CAKE IS THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT THAT CAME ON YESTERDAY AND THE SERVICE ECM LIGHT, NEARLY KILLING US ON THE HIGHWAY. I GET REDUCE ENGINE POWER BUT WITH NO WARNING TO GO FROM 68 TO 35 IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE IS ASKING FOR DEATH. ON TOP OF IT THE MORE I'VE GOOGLED THE ISSUES IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM GM IS WELL AWARE OF AND NEVER HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT FROM 2007-2009 AURAS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AT THE GM DEALERSHIP TRYING TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS T =O BE GIVEN NO REAL ANSWERS. I AM SCARED NOW TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN AS THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND IT "SEEMS" TO BE FINE. I AM EVEN MORE SCARED TO BRING IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE IF THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT, ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I'VE READ EVEN WITH LIGHTS ON DIAGNOSES' ARE POOR AND NOT ACCURATE. ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE DESCRIBING THE SAME EXACT THINGS GOING ON WITH THEIR VEHICLES HOW IS THERE NO DEFINITIVE FIX AND WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING SENT BACK OUT ON THE ROADS WITH FAULTY CARS. NOT ONLY THAT IF 3 YEARS

THIS VEHICLE HAS SUPPOSEDLY ALREADY BEEN SERVICED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V252000. HOWEVER, INTERMITTENTLY, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED; THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED; DIFFICULTY ENGAGING OR DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND CRASH AVOIDANCE FEATURES SUCH AS TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND PANIC BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES BECOME DISABLED. THE DATE GIVEN BELOW FOR OCCURRENCE OF THE INCIDENT IS JUST THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS AND HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE BUT NOTHING IS FOUND TO ADDRESS THE INCIDENT.

NEED DOUBLE CHECK MY CAR

RIGHT SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER NOZZLE BROKE AT THE ELBOW WHERE IT CONNECTS THE WASHER HOSE, THE WINDSHIELD CAN'T BE CLEANED, SIMPLE USE OF THE SYSTEM AND THIS SMALL PIECE BROKE, DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING QUALITY?

FOR TWO DAYS WHEN STARTING IT MADE A WEIRD NOISE BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FAN TO THE A/C MIGHT BE GOING. THEN MY WARNING GAUGES STARTED APPEARING WARNING OF MY AIR BAG AND OIL. THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO START THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR FLASHED AND THE CAR MADE A STRANGE NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE REMOTE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

I OWN A 2009 SATURN AURA. LAST YEAR, IT WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FAULT WITH A BREAK LIGHT MALFUNCTION, CAUSING THE BREAK LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. I TOOK MY SATURN IN TO MY LOCAL GM TECHNICIAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUE HAS RETUNED TO MY VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR, UNLESS I ACTUALLY USE THE BREAK PEDAL, AT WHICH POINT, THEY GO OFF. I AM AT ODDS WITH MY LOCAL GM SHOP AS TO LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN (AS IT WAS A SAFETY RECALL), AND I'M HOPING I CAN GET SOME KIND OF AUTHORIZATION OR VOUCHER TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE AGAIN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ALREADY-RECALLED ISSUE. GM WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE ME TO PERFORM A SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ORIGINAL TERMS OF THE RECALL WOULD BE HONORED. I DON'T FEEL IT IS RIGHT TO SPEND MONEY ON A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE (UNDER A RECALL, NO LESS) CONSIDERING THAT GM HAS ALREADY RECALLED MY CAR ONCE AND THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD IN THE PAST WHICH PROMPTED THE ORIGINAL RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, AND I BELIEVE UNFAIR FOR GM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TREATING THIS REPEAT ISSUE AS A "NEW" ISSUE. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED, AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ERC, AND ESC OFF WARNINGS APPEAR ON DASHBOARD. NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V252000, GM RECALL # 13036 WAS NOT APPLIED TO MY VIN EVEN THOUGH MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS 12/08, WITHIN THE SPECIFICATIONS OF SAID RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY DASH WARNING SIGNALS POWER STEERING FAILURE AND THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY CEASED WORKING. I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME THERE IS A SPECIAL EXTENSION OF WARRANTY BUT GM WILL NOT REPAIR OVER 150,000 IT SHOULD BE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS GM WANTS $1000 TO FIX "STEERING TORQUE INPUT SENSOR CO545"

DRIVER SEAT WELDED BRACKET IS BROKEN. SEAT IS NOT STABLE AND IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE WILL BE INJURY. I WEIGH ONLY 160LBS AND WHILE DRIVING HEARD THE SNAP OF THE BRACKET.
