- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
- Risk
- Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020 (Chevrolet), 1‑800‑762‑2737 (Pontiac), 1‑800‑553‑6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

What 2007 Saturn Aura owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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 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'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).
I was on my way to wal-mart. As I was driving my car all of a sudden wasn't going as I pressed on gas so I notice something strange was going on tried to shift it wouldn't downshift. Then I pulled into middle lane that is were it slowly stopped. Then I shut it off started my car again to go to a safer place it started, continue driving about less then a mile turned into wal-mart and as I was turning in car gas pedals and shift was not working. So it rolled and I was able to get into parkingnlot wal-mart. When I tried to reverse and make the car straight it would not move in drive only reverse. I parked my vehicle and called my husband cause I was panic that I almost got hit behind me till I pulled into center lane I didn't want to drive it.
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 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 said the recall will be done free of charge and mr. Khoury then stated junk people post on websites so I told him the federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency 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
I bought this car in 2016 and have spent more than $2000 making repairs unaware that that these repairs could have been covered by the recall. I have paid for repairs: . In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the body control module (bcm) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'park' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features. Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash. The transmission shift cable may fracture. If the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver will not be able to shift the lever to the "park" position, or remove the ignition key. 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
Upon taken off my traction stabilizer control light comes on my car will then stutter upon accelerating my car will smooth out
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 (na) saturn aura. While driving unknown speeds, the traction control indicator illuminated. Additionally, there was an abnormal fuel odor while approaching the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that fuel was seeping from the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (walker buick gmc, 1616 macarthur drive, alexandria, la 71301) where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 88,210.
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
