Later on when I started it up again check engine light cleared. When this happened one week earlier, the mechanic cleaned the throttle body and put a new air filter in ..$150.00.reading about others having the same problem, it must be a defect in the computer system..car is running fine..I recently spent $3000.00 replacing struts, bushings, brakes, alignment, oil change sway bar links, etc etc.

Vehicle power door locks do not operate unless the car is being shifted in or out of park nor does the key fob work. Vehicle was taken to gm dealer and I was told they could not find a verifiable issue with the door locks. I have been locked out of the vehicle several time because there have been moments that the doors lock on their own. The dash lights also dim on their own and the chime no longer sounds when the doors are opened.

Since purchased issue with steering, had alignment before purchase but steering is just simply off. The cruise works when want and scare me when pick up speed goes too fast. We were in a group following one another and person behind me said my brake lights were not working. They were working backwards, when not applying brake, brake light was on, when applied brake lights on. There was mechanic in group he checked, said could be wiring and take to dealer. When put on signal have to hold and when it does work have to cut off. I would really enjoy this car, but do have some issues. Looked up recalls had nine, called dealership only 2 came up, but one had to do with brakes. New or used look up recalls before you make a purchase.

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.
I had my 2007 aura for 1 week when driving a freeway, the car would not shift past 4th gear. I took it in for service and the technician found strange particles in the gears. He described it as small white plastic pieces. No explanation where they came from or what they were. He had never seen this before. The aura, while not leaving me stranded has always has a "poltergeist", lights not functioning properly, engine lights coming on and off and no repairs needed, etc. I has always idled strangely, as if it might shut off at a stop and felt as if my RPM's increased but no speed during acceleration. Now, there is a problem with the fuel management system, which feels like a transmission issue (very hard jerking during shifting and down shifting),the car won't start after fueling. It has not been a vehicle of trust.
I have a 2007 saturn aura. I'm currently experiencing the issue associated with the federal safety agency campaign number 14v252000 (recall # 13036). Additional to this issue, I'm complaining that this issue could be associated with draining my car battery. Since this issue I have replaced three (3) brand new batteries. I had my alternator checked twice and both test results diagnosis was passed. Which means that my alternator is good and didn't need to be replaced. Each time I have my battery replaced with a brand new battery the life span of the battery is about 3 weeks. After that the battery is dead. If I don't replace the battery and get a jump start the life span of the battery last about 7-10 days before I will need another jump start. Today, august 9, 2014 I again had my battery and alternator diagnosed and both passed the test. I was told by a certified gm mechanic that my issue could be related to electrical system that is draining (killing) my battery because there is nothing wrong with the battery and the alternator. Could this issue (14v252) be the reason my I'm experiencing my battery to died/drain because of my car is affected by electrical system and electronic stability control issues? The consumer stated the shifting cable was replaced twice and the transmission needed to be replaced. Updated 2/24/2015 *js
Car ran fine this morning on the way to work, which is not even 2 miles from my home .went to work and straight back no problem. Got in my car this evening to go get food started the car, check engine light came on, and my air bag light came on went to pull forward and the car was jerking and making knocking noises...
I purchased my vehicle in 2011 with 55,476 odometer within this time frame I had to replace fuel pump and the alarm system is not functioning at all. The air bag system comes on and off even in the process of me driving. I haven't been notify due to any of these matters until I found web site.
As I was crossing railroad tracks the vehicle turned off. I looked at the ignition and it had turned out of the on position. I have no extra keys on the key chain.
Received 2 recall notices, recall # 14152; and recall # 13036. Recall# 14152, has been replaced I'm assuming. My concern is that my vehicle accelerates at an higher speed than what I'm driving, the RPM dial shoots up to 5 or 6 on the RPM dial then gradually go down to 1. When I am at an complete stop, my vehicle is slow about accelerating, which can be scary because people behind me are driving faster than I'm moving, then all of a sudden my vehicle accelerates at a higher speed than I'm driving. I pray that this recall will resolve this issue I am an 65 year old lady, with 2 grandchildren that I take on different events. I'm concerned about an potential safety default in my vehicle could cause an fatal accident to myself or someone else especially my grandchildren. This letter is notice to you of my concern driving this vehicle. I can't purchase another car I'm on an fixed income. Thank you. Oh by the way recall #13036 is not in stock yet, I'm waiting for part to come in .I pray it will come in before my car breakdown permanently.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn aura. While driving 45 MPH, the air bag indicator illuminated. The failure occurred multiple times. The dealer stated that there could have been an electrical failure in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
I had my door open during a snow storm as I was trying to push my car out of the street. The door got a little wet. Ever since then the doors have been locking and unlocking themselves whether the car is on or off. The keyless entry no longer works. The trunk will no longer open. The passenger seat airbag randomly turns on and off even when there is a passenger in the seat. The mechanic said I should replace the body control module, but this did not solve the problem either. They currently have all of the locks unhooked so they won't keep turning on and off while I am driving.
Door locks malfunction constantly locking and unlocking. Engine heat can be felt inside the car when driving causing the A/C to be used excessively waisting more gasoline. Windshield wipers wear out quickly and do not wipe water off of driver side glass well. Radio and speakers electrical malfunctioning. Lettering rubbed off on functional buttons on steering wheel and doors. Air bag light malfunction. Hood of car developed weather spots. Insulation at the top of front window worn out.
Tl* the contact owns 2007 saturn aura. The contact stated that the brakes lights were only working intermittently. Also, the contact mentioned that anti-theft system engaged without warning preventing the doors from locking and the radio from turning off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in recall the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior lighting, and service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 62,000.
Brake lights malfunction on the 2007 saturn aura. Depress the accelerator and the brake lights engage - then press the brake and the brake lights turn off . . . Reverse of how they should work. When the brake lights are on they may or may not stay on - it is unpredictable. A recall is listed online (gm recall number 13036; the federal safety agency campaign number 14v252000). Calling gm (1.800.462.8782) and saturn (1.800.553.6000) resulted in no help - they acknowledge the recall but have not associated vins or released it to dealers. This is a safety issue. The recall needs to be released immediately and when vehicles are identified to have this issue they should be cleared to be fixed immediately under the warranty.
My car has electrical problems related tothe connector for the computer inside the dash just as noted under the federal safety agency recall# 14v252000. I am certain this is the problem because following advice I found online before the recall was issued I used an electronics cleaner on the connector and it helped but did not fix the problem. My brake lights either don't work or stick on. My left turn signal doesn't work. If I disconnect and reconnect the plug several times in seems to make it work but only for a short while so I know for sure this is the problem. I've checked my VIN and for some reason gm has not included my car in the recall. This is b.s. Prior to the recall I paid gm dealerships several times to fix the issue and they failed each time. Now they have a recall for the exact problem my car has but they are trying to not include my car even though the recall is for 2007 saturn aura's with the exact problem my car has. I cant use my car because I cant get an inspection sticker due to the brake lights and turn signal not working. Its a freaking lawn ornament.
Brake lights stayed on while driving and brake pedal released.

Service ESC warning light. I was flagged by another vehicle in the evening that my brake lights were not working. When you press the brake pedal the brake light goes off. When you release the brake pedal the brake lights go on. I took my car to joseph chevrolet in cincinnati oh. Joseph chev replaced the body control module on aug 22, 2011. It cost me $535.72. They did not inform me that other vehicles were having the same problem. In september 2013 the brake lights again were not working properly. I filed a complaint to gm file # 71-1220534971 because this can cause a serious injury. I took my vehicle to joseph chev again but they could not replicate the problem and acted like they didn't have any idea what was wrong. Again after my 3rd visit to joseph chevrolet with my car and a new file # 71-1300874571 joseph chev charged me $269.16 to replace the brake switch and repair wiring at bpp switch. I pleaded with joseph chev and gm that the car was unsafe driving with brake lights not working properly and they should not be charging me over $800.00 for a defect that is happening on other saturn aura vehicles. Having brake lights I thought was a basic function. They would not help me out with the charges. I had to spend the money because the car was unsafe to drive.
