general problems of the 2007 Saturn Aura - part 1

The automatic transmission shift cable, has malfunctioned. The center piece that connects to the gear shift has melted, and prevents the car from starting and shifting gears. The damage was created due to high temperatures from the motor, being that it is very close to it. This should be replaced by the manufacturer.

Service esc warning light will come on randomly causing the brake lights to illuminate without pushing the brakes. Brake lights will sometimes turn off when the brake pedal is depressed. This has been the subject of a recall and has been in for the recall twice but still having issues. The transmission can be moved from park without depressing the brake pedal. The lights will malfunction while driving.

The vehicle's abs, traction and ecm caused the vehicle to lose all power and steering while going highway speeds. All the warning lights are on and car can no longer move under its own power ( it has fried a ecm in under two weeks).

The Saturn Aura has repeatedly had door lock switches go out, each time the front head light is replaced, it blows out again, the lights inside the car dim randomly. The traction control/abs lights are disabled on the car constantly despite replacing the ecm, upper and lower intake gaskets, coolant flushing, and other cleared codes. The car jerks and jolts when slowing down, parking, starting, and changing gears. It violently pushes the car. The engine light and tire pressure lights also remain constant despite consistent work on the car. Four different dealerships (including a Chevrolet dealership) have been unable to fix the issues with the car. The car also engaged low power mode and almost caused numerous accidents because the car stopped being able to accelerate while on the road.

The vehicle has completely locked up without warning and is literally so hard to even turn the wheel or even control the vehicle I was driving on a busy street and I went to turn to get off the busy road and I'm a strong man and I could barely get the car to turn and I was trying so hard to turn the wheel but I couldn�t.

Takata recall my car's power fluctuated which high acceleration then basically down to no power and the rpm gauge shut down while still traveling at 55 mph but the breaks and steering had high resistance which made me go into a panic, I eventually pulled to the curb and turned the car off and called my husband he told me to try making it home at a slow speed if it still drives so I started the car and the rpm gauge was back working and I told him and he said the problem sounds electrical and dangerous so I got home and we hooked up a obd2 code reader and it gave us cofde c0561 so my husband googled the code and it mentioned a recall for this problem then we found your site NHTSA. Gov we followed the steps and discovered there was a pending unrepaired reall on my vehicle and it was about that same problem and explain the fix remedy that involved the bcm so I contacted the chevrole, Cadillac t dealership in victorville CA and made a appointment for 07/15/2019 to have the recall performed and as we arrived for the recall we were greeted by robert khoury and he got information of our visit and immediately stated that if they check the bcm we'll be charged $139. 00 that will be applied to the repair I then let him know NHTSA. Gov said the recall will be done free of charge and mr. Khoury then stated junk people post on websites so I told him NHTSA is a official site but he wouldn't listen and stated no pay no fix but we'll repair the break lamp only so I left the car with them hoping the mechanics would do the right thing, I went to my office and printed out NHTSA safety issues & recalls and took it back to the dealership and tryed to show mr khoury but he refused to read it. We left again then was contacted later saying the car was ready and on my way home it repeated the same thing it did which led to the recall I called the dealer and khoury said you didn't wanna pay.

The vehicle has been in and out of repair for the same problem, engines have been replaced but no solution has been found. When driving around 60mph the engine would stall and �engine power reduced� and �traction off� would flash, reducing the car speed and making acceleration near impossible- sometimes multiple times in one trip. Car accelerates very slowly and causes traffic buildup. Rpm is at 5 (x1000)/min at just 30mph and the engine is making loud noises. Sometimes when stalled or at a red light the engine will cut out completely and the car will die. Almost consistently the car will rattle and shake in a pulsing matter. As previously mentioned I have brought it in to local repair shops and no one has been able to find a solution. Often times the engine is replaced but the problem comes back after a couple weeks.

While driving, my brake lights come on without the pedal being pushed and then will eventually go off.

Car riding fine. No lights then all of a sudden I get in from the grocery store and my check engine light comes on, traction control light comes on, engine power reduced warning comes on and car starts jerking.

Vehicle interior lights do not turn on when the vehicle is unlocked or the door is opened; also the passenger side mirror lights to not come on and the lid to the light/mirror is missing.

Takata recalls. The service esc and traction off indicator light keep coming on. Several months ago, as I was driving home the dash board lights went off and came back on. Even the speed odometer acted up. Several months ago, the car would not reverse,it made a sound when I did backed back. Now, every time I put gas in my car, I have to keep pumping the gas peddle as I'm turning the key to start it up. The right front and side signal lights don't don't don't work.

My car revs up and starts taking off on its own while my foots on the brake, im at a complete stop, I have a hard time stopping it, I put it in park when im stopped now, it reves up while at a complete stop and takes off, 7 times now.

For the past year when I turn on my vehicle & start driving the service airbag lights up & starts dinging. In October 2015 I was involved in a collision on interstate 60 & my airbags never deployed when impact accrued going approximately 55ml an hr & my front bumper had to be replaced & drivers side wheel locked up making car not driveable impact was on passenger front & side of car & my airbags never deployed & light continues to read service airbag I went to Chevrolet 1yr ago & told them they said my car had a recall only for the brake lights & that's all that fixed. The oil engine light comes on once & awhile even when my oil has been changed but not as of her as the service airbag light yet my car shows its not included in the airbag recall so I don't understand what's going on & no one els has answers either except to take it to dealership but when I did nothing was done it even looked at when comes to my airbag & again airbags never deployed when I was involved in a collision on interstate 60 in oct 2015. Also my drivers side seat when ajusting the seat continues to go out & takes a day or two on continually playing with ajusters on side of seat to get it to work to push seat back or forward if I allow one of my kids to use car to run to store.

As I was crossing railroad tracks the vehicle turned off. I looked at the ignition and it had turned out of the on position. I have no extra keys on the key chain.

Received 2 recall notices, recall # 14152; and recall # 13036. Recall# 14152, has been replaced I'm assuming. My concern is that my vehicle accelerates at an higher speed than what I'm driving, the rpm dial shoots up to 5 or 6 on the rpm dial then gradually go down to 1. When I am at an complete stop, my vehicle is slow about accelerating, which can be scary because people behind me are driving faster than I'm moving, then all of a sudden my vehicle accelerates at a higher speed than I'm driving. I pray that this recall will resolve this issue I am an 65 year old lady, with 2 grandchildren that I take on different events. I'm concerned about an potential safety default in my vehicle could cause an fatal accident to myself or someone else especially my grandchildren. This letter is notice to you of my concern driving this vehicle. I can't purchase another car I'm on an fixed income. Thank you. Oh by the way recall #13036 is not in stock yet, I'm waiting for part to come in . I pray it will come in before my car breakdown permanently.

Brake lights malfunction on the 2007 Saturn Aura. Depress the accelerator and the brake lights engage - then press the brake and the brake lights turn off . . . Reverse of how they should work. When the brake lights are on they may or may not stay on - it is unpredictable. A recall is listed online (gm recall number 13036; NHTSA campaign number 14v252000). Calling gm (1. 800. 462. 8782) and Saturn (1. 800. 553. 6000) resulted in no help - they acknowledge the recall but have not associated vins or released it to dealers. This is a safety issue. The recall needs to be released immediately and when vehicles are identified to have this issue they should be cleared to be fixed immediately under the warranty.
