general problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura

I just saw that my car is on a list for recall.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the "service air bag " light illuminated. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 119,900. Fe.

Since new, we have had passenger air bag issues, not sensing an adult passenger. Brakes have been operating poorly, with rear pads wearing out, and front not. Four new master cylinders, pads & rotors with no improvement. Now mid 2018, strong gasoline smell from under rear of vehicle. 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. Should be a recall on this defect. We live in texas where it is hot. We now have about 130,000miles on the car.

Takata recall: during work hours, when the car is parked out in the hot georgia summer sun all day I get a service air bag alert when I start it. I have been trying to park it under the trees when possible during the hottest days and this keeps the alert from happening for the most part. Sometimes though, this service air bag alert comes on for no apparent reason while I have been driving it for awhile as well. However, I am not on the airbag recall list. While at the mechanics, the alert would not come up and I was told to bring it back when it does.

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.

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 . . . .

It say somethings about recharge airbags.

Airbag alert on message center. We took it in and the repair was at least a thousand dollars.

Air bags are tamara but not on recall and need to be replaced? and warning comes on to check air bags have been trying to get fixed for last couple of years.

July 2014 - Saturn Aura 2007 problem: service light turned on when starting car called gm dealership to schedule a service appointment; car was not driven until appointment when starting the car, the light was out inspection: service department advisor noted: the passenger air bag module was defective (?trouble codes b0081 3a and b0081 71) considered a safety hazard passenger air bag may malfunction on impact repairs: ?replaced module and connector and heat pad (followed bulletin 10-0941-003a) ?in addition, customer had received an "open" recall for a transmission shift cable fracture; work required by recall completed. Complaint - module defect: there is a safety hazard associated with the passenger air bag. Owner's manual caution the air bag system may not perform in a crash?and should be serviced?without delay. According to other complaints on your website, this is not an uncommon occurrence or an isolated incident in some gm models. The high cost for correcting this gm malfunction has been imposed on the owners and is beyond the owner's responsibility for standard repairs and upkeep for safety issues associated with this malfunction, there should be a mandated recall.

When I started the car ,I got a notice to ck air bag. It has happened about 6 times in the last 4 yrs. Is this something to worry about ? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have had problems with this car since shortly after purchase, most of which have never been repaired even after several attempts by dealership, passenger airbag turns off even with passenger in seat, heated seats come on by themselves, I gave up on repair of those long ago, but they are minor compared other problems I any several other owners of this car as you can read at edmunds. Com consumer discussions, this cannot be coincidence, traction control, water pumps, clunking in the steering column and most recently check engine light issues, which in the process of more than one mechanic/dealership trying to figure out what is wrong with this car I have paid for what I would call unnecessary repairs, finally my local dealership tells me gm has told them the timing chain is stretched, I'm assuming gm knows this because they have other vehicles some 2007 models with a timing chain recall/issues, according to a local mechanic timing chains do not need regular maint. And should last much longer than my 68000 miles, I now need a 3500$$ repair although my local dealership "sympathizes" with me they feel "things just are not made they way they used to be. " just thought I'd join the many others who feel a complaint needed to be filed with gm regarding this vehicle!!!.

I purchased my vehicle in 2011 with 55,476 odometer within this time frame I had to replace fuel pump and the alarm system is not functioning at all. The air bag system comes on and off even in the process of me driving. I haven't been notify due to any of these matters until I found web site.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact was driving approximately 30 mph when the airbags deployed independently followed by the vehicle stalling. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the contact was awaiting diagnosis. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Instrument panel message "service airbags soon" appears randomly accompanied by a red panel icon. Message and icon eventually disappear. Owners manual does not give information about what this means or its effect on the airbag system.

Service light comes on while driving in my Saturn Aura 2007 car. Planning to take in as soon as possible, but have trip scheduled Monday oct 4, 2010.

Service air bag message appears. Has happened at least three times in last two weeks. First time, passenger was in seat and about 2 minutes after air bag was "on", the chime and message that it was needing service. Second time, immediately after passenger exited car, the chime and message, message remained on for the remaining 20 minutes of drive. Third time, after car was in motion, mo passenger. Took that car to a gm dealer for repair, was informed that it was not a covered repair. I did not get it repaired at the time of this complaint. This is a safety issue and should not come out of my pocket to repair it.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. While driving, the air bag service light remained illuminated. The vehicle will be taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer will be contacted. The failure and the current mileages were 51,000.

Identical to the recent airbag related recall initiated at Chrysler, gm has had the same issue on multiple platforms, most notably the Saturn Aura xr. My vehicle is a 2007 edition. I first noticed the issue on my vehicle in 2010. First, the passenger sensing system indicated that no passenger was present. Second, the "service airbag soon" icaw would annunciate, sometimes while in motion and sometimes while stationary, when this happened traveling on the interstate I got quite flustered. I called the service center and took it to the last Saturn service center in fort worth where they told me that I'd most assuredly flooded my passenger compartment (never drove the car into a body of water--confused???). The fix was to replace the acm, the passenger sensing mat, and the seat heater--total cost ~$1k. But my car was still under warranty! this problem continued to happen and another dealership could never isolate the problem. Fast forward to now when I contacted gm about my concerns since nobody else could help me. . . Gm stated that there was nothing they could do because my car was out of warranty. I asked the gm p. O. C. About the TSB I had found related to this issue. I stated my concerns for a TSB related to air bags over a 7 year period. Yes, you read that right. Gm has had a TSB related to my problem, and the same airbag related recall Chrysler just started, for 7 years!!! please assist myself and other consumers from being hurt by this. . .

This is a know Saturn Aura problem, the message will state service airbag followed by an airbag not working, I have had cars with airbags since they were first put on vehicles, I have never had a problem like this. The hard failure does not occur until the car is out of warranty.

Since buying my Saturn Aura in March 2007 my life has been a complete headache. I first had to take my car into the shop with only 2300 miles on it for rack and pinion to be replaced. Since then it has been in the shop no less than every 6 months. I have had to replace the brakes and rotors two times, motor mount, passenger air bag, sunroof drain, water pump, coolant crossover pipe, water reservoir, steering shaft and more. Now my rack and pinion is bad again and they will not fix it. Also there is a major rattle in front of car and squeal coming from front drivers side tire. They tell me that there is nothing wrong and cannot duplicate. Just recently I have started to notice that my car steering is funny and also that it cuts out or accelerates on it's own. I am planning on getting it back in again to the shop soon. I do not feel safe driving this car. I have three small children and want something done to stop all the problems.
