Structure Problems of Saturn Aura

2008 Saturn Aura. Consumer writes in regards to broken weld on front seat frame. The consumer stated the driver's seat leaned to the right side. One day, while adjusting the power seat, the seat lifted high on one side as opposed to the other. He looked under the seat and noticed a black metal bar had been welded to the metal frame of the seat had actually separated from the frame itself causing the seat not to function as designed.

I brought a used 2007 Saturn Aura and I beginning to notice that if it rains the passenger door holds water and could in fact affect the electrical system causing the door lock to malfunction.

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.

Drivers seat broke down on right side, causing it to slump towards the console. Upon taking it to the dealer to seek repair, was told that the welding of the seat unit had broken. The entire seat and the housing base require replacement over $1000 to fix. While it doesn't require fixing to operate car, the danger is in a crash, having the seat catapult out entirely being as it is not affixed to the vehicle any more. You can wiggle it up and down freely, this could also allow the seat to throw someone into the air bags as they deploy, causing injuries because it is not fastened down. After researching online, this vehicle make and model is prone to this problem for the few short years it was made. We feel that gm needs to update this seat problem, and while not sure, they use chev malibu replacement parts for it, so that model may also be experiencing the problem for more data. A seat should be intact, attached safely to the vehicle we would think. Never heard of seats being free of the body of the car while driving.

1st problem rear door locks would keep opening and locking by themselves,same time trunk would would not unlock. Had to have all repaired at a cost of $450. 2nd problem while car parked in drive an in park car rolled back into mail box now have to have fender repaired,took to dealer could find no problem. 3rd problem car driver door sagging chipping paint dealer tightened does not hold.

Clunking noise and feel from the steering wheel column area when turning my steering wheel at low speeds or a stop. I do not have the car with me but there are 3 models, my model is the six cylinder 3. 5 engine.

I purchased my car new off the lot while out of state. I have had several issues with this vehicle. I am unsatisfied with Saturn that they are not willing to look into these issues and fix, repair or replace the parts to fix the problems. Unless continuously my expense. The brake lights are lit while driving down the road, and when you place your foot on the pedal and apply pressure, the lights will go off, thus removing your foot from petal, 8 seconds, the lights for my brakes are back on. Mind you when you apply the brake, the lights go off, so explain this to the officers that stop me, and give me a ticket for repair because I don't have brake lights when stopping!! not to mention the times of being almost rear ended because of this issue! getting it fixed and it continues to reoccur is getting old. Does someone really have to be killed to fix this problem? the braking system in general with the rotors and pads has been a consistent repair replace factor. I have replaced brake pads, had rotors turned, had them replaced, etc minimum of every 10,000 miles due to the rotors being warped, causing severe shaking in the front end. Service garage at Saturn dealer just says this is a continued problem with the Aura vehicles, but nothing is getting resolved. Again, does someone really have to be killed to get these real issues settled? these are issues with the brakes, not with something minor. Again, issues with the air bag service light coming on, and the garage not finding a repeating error, occurs yet occasionally. Fix by turning car off and restarting. Inflate tire signal repeatedly occurs, yet to find actual cause for this issue. These are the real concerns I have with this vehicle, minor issues are the doors filling with water, pealing of interior on black areas of door molding, handles. Failure of increase of immediate speed when wanting extra power to pass or coming in on ramp to highway traffic and does not kick down immediately.

When raining the driver and passenger door fill with water, drains when door is open this could not be good for electrical purposes.

The front air dam on my 2007 Saturn Aura has broken off the car. I had visited alldatadiy. Com and found a technical service bulletin campaign 07215 dated Aug 2007. When I had my car in for state inspection in March 2008, the dealer(Saturn of syracuse) told me the part would be replaced as they had seen other Aura's with the same problem and they were ordering parts. When I checked back with the dealership, they said that general motors decided not to pay for a replacement part. I believe that this is also a problem on other gm cars.
