1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem of the 2008 Saturn Aura

Failure Date: 03/05/2019

I have a recall complaint. . . Recall#: 14e044000 --steering; the wheel is stiff and hard to turn recall#: 14v153000 --steering: electric power assist system; hard to turn wheel, leaking ps fluid, no longer has whining noise. Vehicle was in motion and turning I had previously replaced my battery, because I constantly had to use a battery booster to start it after every time I shut the car off, and the former one became faulty and it tested as a bad battery. Within 2 days of replacing the battery, the ps fluid rapidly started leaking after starting the car ignition and the steering wheel is stiff and very hard to turn now. I've put more ps fluid in my car, but it doesn't help the stiff steering at all almost as if I never even put any ps fluid in it to begin with. I'm also having an electrical issue to where when I go to put on my brakes sometimes, it'll dim my lights at the same time while driving down the road.

2 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem of the 2008 Saturn Aura

Failure Date: 08/03/2014

While driving home from work, my temp gauge shot up just beyond the 3/4 mark into the red zone. I pulled over and waited for about 14 minutes till the gauge came down to just under 1/2. I began to move the vehicle again and the gauge kept jumping up and down till I got home. I looked under the hood and noticed that the radiator fluid reservoir was about empty. I added radiator fluid and left the car parked till the next day. Drove the car around for almost 29 days when it began to overheat again. Once again when I looked under the hood, the reservoir was about empty again. I look up the problem on the internet and have found that a lot of gm owners with vehicles that have the 3. 5l or 3. 9l engines have been experiencing the same problem but gm will not fix the issue (gasket leak at the side of the block). According to what I have read, this is a known issue with these engines but gm has not done a thing to correct the problems.

The gear shift would not go into to park, neutral , or reverse, the gear shift to the transmission broke. The steering column fluid is leaking, the front head light went out. The head gasket is wearing out, the car is rusting already on the body. The air conditioning fan is not blowing out cool air or heat. "the transmission feels like it slipping sometimes. I feel so betrayed to have been sold a car that needs so much work when all I wanted was a dependable car to get me to my part time job.
