Had to replace a faulty fuel pump that cracked at the fuel line port and caused gasoline to leak from the fuel pump assembly and possibly cause a fire. Very similar to an open recall on 2007 saturn ions, but there is currently no recall against the aura fuel system...

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 would be bopping along on the highway, then all of a sudden, the check engine and reduced eng pwr messages appeared on the driver information console. On my way home from work the other day after the rain storm, I was driving on I-95 and all of the a sudden received several error messages in the dic: -service traction -eng pwr reduced the check engine and tc-disabled indicators remained lit. So I limped the rest of the way home on what felt like two-cylinders. After reading some info on the web I fond out that water could be coming in from some place and is affecting the throttle control module (part no. 15780668). I think this is another issue that gm need to look into because it can make the car just stop on the highway.
Oil is leaking on engine causing white smoke, smell filter inside of vehicle, but no oil on the ground.(use conventional oil) no accident since I purchase the car. Sometimes shift hard when going to next gear. Medal seen in engine oil.
At the mall, car sputtered 5-10 times before finally starting. As I was leaving mall parking lot doing 15-20mph, car suddenly loss engine power and began to shake / shutter. Dashboard console displayed reduced engine power and service traction. Car wouldn't go faster than 20-25mph. I had to take side streets to get home. Car later towed to dealer. Dealer found leaking fuel pump and throttle body cable connector loose/dirty. Tech removed connector from throttle body, cleaned it, added di-electric grease and re-connected it. Engine power regained. Fuel pump replaced at another garage due to cost at dealer. Note: this was 2nd time car was taken to same dealer with same problem. I was told it was "bad" gasoline and was charged about $86.00 (not including towing charge). Also told to use premium gas at another gas company. Fuel pump problem not found even when they were told about strong fuel smell coming from rear, drivers side after car sits for awhile. Asked for reimbursement from dealer owner, but it was denied.
I recently notice the smell of gasoline emanating from my vehicle. I initially checked the function and fit of gas cap. I removed to engine cover and started the vehicle to inspect fuel lines in the engine bay area as well as the area of and the fuel delivery system itself to the manifold. All the above inspections produced no visible signs of fuel leakage. I lifted the vehicle to inspect the fuel system from the firewall area to the fuel tank. Again, no obvious signs of leakage. At the fuel tank the smell was more intense but still nothing obvious. Due to the position of the fuel tank, inspection of the top half was not possible with my tool availability. Yet the intensity of the smell in the fuel tank area gave a strong indication of a leak at the tank. Upon a search online for possible solutions, I found that the 2007 saturn ion has a fuel pump recall for exactly this issue and it specifies arizona as an impact state. I truly believe my aura is experiencing the same troubles associated with the fuel pump issue of the ion. I have made an appointment to have the issue diagnosed at my local dealership. While searching online I found several posting by other aura owners who have experienced this same problem. Of those who paid for resolution, all found the leak stemmed from a cracked plastic fitting at the fuel pump. The reason behind the ion recall. Something needs to be done to expand the recall to other gm vehicles before a dangerous issue arises and someone is injured. I can't afford to fix my vehicle at this time yet I must travel daily to and from work. I pray that either I can afford resolution myself, or the federal safety agency finds resolve for aura owners before someone gets hurt or a vehicle receives major damage due to this fuel leak problem.
I have a 2007 saturn aura xe my problem is the seat motors housing driver side are starting to come apart when I move seat up/down the parts make a grinding noise and the frame is poking through the seat on the left back side lower cushion that is sticking me in the butt when I get into car .also the front brakes get really shaky when I have to stop suddenly on rough roads pedal seems to go to floor and brakes make loud clunking noise its a little scary to say the least. Also the post for my gas cap that allows the door to pop open fell apart the pin fell into the mounting hole and whole assembly is coming apart.
Vehicle is 6 years old had major engine failure due to timing chain failure 7000 cost to repir please help.
Sometime in november I started experiencing an extended crank where it took my car a few seconds longer to start up. By december this was still happening but now I was starting to smell gasoline in and around my vehicle. A friend of mine was a mechanic for saturn for 17 years and now works for another dealer. He checked the car and determined this was a problem in the fuel line. Further investigation revealed that this issue matches a recall issue for the 2007 saturn ion. I contacted gm at 800‑521‑7300 to ask if there were any recalls for the aura for this issue that is identical to the ion recall and was told there are no recalls for my vehicle. This issue seems like it should warrant a recall as this is a safety issue and poses the same risk for fire. My vehicle has less than 50, 000 miles on it. I don't want to risk a vehicle fire while fighting to get a recall issued so I will end up paying out of pocket to fix this defect.
