general problems of the 2008 Saturn Astra

Car lose power check engine on diag vehicle replace 2 accelerator pedal still the same problem code p2138 google the vehicle problem gm have open bulletin about some kind of harness replacement for more than 30 models with the same problem it should be a recall.

Bought car at 35000 miles now at 107000 and have replaced ignition coil pack 3 times. Misfires in 4th cylinder cause car to jerk and heave at highway speeds and run rough also fuel in plugs.

When you put the car in reverse the lights light up on the gear shift, and will not engage. I then put the car in park and back in reverse. 2nd time I had an issue that car would not start even though it was in park, I someone try to jump it, thinking it was the battery, because I have gone through 5 batteries because of a short in the doors and also the relay for power locks. . When I put the car in nutral then the car could start and then I can drive it and 3 rd incident I parked the car, my daughter got out of the car and it went forward and she almost got hurt. I took it to my mechanic after the 2nd incident and was told it was the cable. I did research and say that gm recalled thousands of cars because of the cable defect. Saturn aura was recalled also for this issue. I contacted gm to see if they will pay for it, they said there is no recall. That I had to have gm dealer look at it, because they don't believe me. Once gm says it's the cable then they will decide if they will do a repair. Saturn Astra needs to be recalled the cable replaced.
