2007 Saturn Aura electrical complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn aura. The contact stated that the gears would not properly engage while in any gear. The failure occurred without warning. The contact experienced the vehicle rolling while in park, reverse, or drive and had to apply the emergency brake to prevent a crash. In addition, the onstar system (voice command) and radio would activate on their own due to an internal electrical wiring failure. The vehicle was taken to larry puckett chevrolet (2101 cobbs ford rd, prattville, al 36066, (334) 223-4481) and the battery was replaced more than four times due to the loss of power, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was not available.
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.
Takata recall - I'm having various issues. Majority of the issues are in motion when driving on highway or street way. The issue is recall id (212567) the steering is faulty the wheel goes left and right.

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.
I was having trouble with my engine light coming on and reduced engine power and traction control off and throwing codes. Mostly 0641, 0107, 0106 and 1682. I have a code reader and was always able to clear them. I they came back right away I would disconnect the negative cable and that would seem to work. Sometimes I would drive for a couple weeks to a month or two with no problems. Then on aug. 21, 2017 the engine light came on again and I had a hard time getting it started again. When I did it was running rough. So I drove it to my local dealer, they reset the codes and updated the ECM. The next night I was driving, car was running smooth, no problems. I pulled into a parking lot and the engine light and reduced power and traction off warning came on. It was running rough and stalled. I tried to restart it and the was a fairly loud noise from under the hood. There were codes set 1682, 0452, 0641, and 0107. I tried to clear them with my code reader but they wouldn't clear. I un did the negative cable and that didn't work. I tried to restart the car and all I got was a mild clicking sound I noticed a burning smell from under the hood, so I thought the ECM burnt up. Since I was unable to get it started I called a tow truck and had it towed back to the dealer. The next day the when I contacted the dealer they asked me if I wanted to have the repairs needed from the previous day done. None of the noted repairs had anything to do withe the car dying. I told them to just figure out why the car will not start. While they were working on it I called gm owner assistance because at this point I had some feelings of mistrust. The dealer called me after 3 hours and told me they were not going to charge me the service fee and my engine was seized. I was flabbergasted. I asked them how could the engine just seize up with no warning. I

Summary: general motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 malibu, 2004-2007 malibu maxx, 2005-2010 pontiac g6, 2007-2010 saturn aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the body control module (bcm) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of park, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of park. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service ESC and/or traction control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition. Safety risk: these conditions may increase the risk of a crash. Remedy: dealers are to attach the wiring harness to the bcm with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the bcm and harness connector and on the bas and harness connector, and relearn the brake pedal home position free of charge.

As I am driving all of a sudden the car cuts and reduced engine power comes on and traction service and then it won't go above 25 MPH but starts at 5 MPH and slowly goes up and shakes I have gone to gm dealer and other auto shops and they can't find the problem it's dangerous because it could lead to a re ending with my daughter in back and cause a crash . I have seen more people with this problem and they need to figure it out because someone could get hurt.
Beginning around march 4 2015, car began to have issues with loss of power steering. Initially, it would sometimes have no power steering at start up. I would turn it off and then back on and eventually, this would result in power steering being restored. While driving, the steering wheel would pull independently. At stop lights, if I took my hands off the wheel, the steering wheel would twitch and shake and turn by itself. On sat. March 21, 2015 I lost power steering while driving. Took car to repair shop "performance automotive, (general's highway, crownsville, md; [xxx] proprietor). Mechanic said that the sensors inside the steering column were not operating properly. He said either the steering column or just the sensors need to be replaced. Gm said this was not covered by any recall notice, although many other cars in the same class with the same problems were. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The passenger seat airbag light indicating that it is off comes on whenever the vehicle is started, regardless of occupancy in the passenger seat. Also, the 'air bag problem' indication, along with a warning 'beep' comes on at the same time, on the dash display unit. This can be removed by pressing the proper button on the steering wheel, allowing the odometer to be seen. To my knowledge, you have not asked for a recall, and I see no tsb's about this apparently widespread problem in 2007 saturn auras. Ours has heated seats, which, I understand will make the repair more difficult and expensive. This is another example of gm's inappropriate means of cutting costs in safety related areas, such as the ignition switch troubles incurred on the 2005 ion.
