I'm on a busy city street and I went to put my vehicle from reverse into drive and I noticed that it wasn't going into gear and when I would accelerate on the gas to make my vehicle go it would just rev up like it wasn't a year and then I would you know take it back to reverse and then back to drive and it would still not go into gear finally after about two or three tries of this it finally got to go into drive and I made it to home the next morning when I went to leave I tried to crank my vehicle and it would not start so a friend of mine pop the hood and he noticed that the thing that puts my car into gear was not attached anymore and that is why my vehicle would not start and I had the problem that I had the night prior. Next problem I have is my airbag symbol pops up off and on while I'm driving and we'll stay on for a while and then go off and then it'll come back on about a week later and then it'll go off again and this happens when I'm driving on the highway down the street just randomly. Next is my power steering power steering when I start the vehicle and put my car into gear and attempt to turn my wheel to reverse or you know to get out of a parking position my power steering will be really hard really tight I try to turn it and I can't turn it very far because of the pressure behind it I will put my car back into gear turn off the car and turn my steering wheel as much as I can to the left as far as it'll go and then to the right as far as it'll go and then finally it will loosen up so where I can turn my vehicle.

- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on April 29, 2014, that they are recalling 56,214 model year 2007 and 2008 Saturn Aura vehicles. On May 22, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 1,074,899 model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured from May 16, 2003, through October 5, 2007, model year 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured from June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, and model year 2005-2008 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured from May 26, 2004, through September 28, 2007, and equipped with 4-speed transmissions.

- Risk
- If the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the PARK position, the transmission may not be in PARK. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and GM dealers will replace the shift cable assembly and mounting bracket, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors at 1‑800‑553‑6000. GM's number for this recall is 14152.

For awhile now my check engine light has been on and my no traction control light has been blinking so I had a full diagnostic inspection done that read nothing. As a result, I had them do a fuel system cleaning since there is a small jerky feel every time I drive. I also had them do a break fluid exchange but the no traction control light still blinks. Along with that, most times after fueling up my car, my car drives well and just fine but on september 18th, after fueling up, I was turning into traffic proceeding to the farthest lane so that I can turn left into my apartments then pop! And the steering wheel locked and the gear had locked in drive. This scared me so bad so I braked in every way I could hoping I wouldn't crash then tried shifting gears and cranking my car again. I got into the gates and into the parking lot then my car stalled and cut off again. I finally parked my car, popped the hood, and there was nothing wrong that I could see from my view. So, the next day september 19th I drove to class that morning and it stalled a bit any time I increased my speed as if it wanted to cut off. I got into the parking lot of my college and it cuts off as soon as I begin to turn into a parking spot between two cars. I crank it up, complete my park then I go inside for class until lunch. On lunch, I crank up my car and wow the check engine light is finally off but as usual the no traction control light is blinking. I test drive my car to the local winn dixie and back and on the way back pop! Then it stalls to cut off but doesn't cut off so I take it back to my college before lunch is over and park it. Now it's the end of the day and I'm out of class and headed home. This time I make it into the gate but I'm getting close to going over a speed bump and pop! It doesn't cut off but it's stalls badly like it wants too so I proceed to drive then park it. Please, help.
Takata recall my son gave me this vehicle and it sent me a warning about engine loss while driving. Sometimes it picks up and sometimes it doesn't. I also noticed it doesn't have a transmission fluid resivoir. Sometimes theirs a gas leak while idle and sometimes they don't.
Transmission , when shifting into park it will sometimes not go into park and the car will roll backwards or clanking noise happens. Also when u take the car out of park it will not go into reverse!!
