2008 Saturn Aura locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Passenger side door locks. First the front door lock actuator open circuit. At 50,079 miles nov 2012. Now at 60,000 miles the rear passenger door lock actuator has failed. If manually unlocked it will not lock with the fob or power door switch. If locked it will not unlock.
I came out to get in my car this morning and thought it was strange my husband had not closed the driver side door. I got in and closed the door and it popped open, it would not latch. I tried numerous times and check to see if anything was preventing it from latching and could not find anything. I pulled it shut and manual locked the door and it stayed latched. I drove to work, got out and shut the door with no issue. I got in the car again, no issue. Got out, would not close, so I pushed it shut and locked with remote, is stayed latched, then I tried to get back in, using the remote, the lock inside the door popped up like it had unlocked, but the door would not open. After 4 attempts I got it to open. Got in and drove, got out, door would not close. Have an appointment to have it looked at tomorrow. I don't feel safe driving if the door could pop open at any time!
Rear door lock unlock mechanism malfunction. Locks but won't unlock and will not open from the inside. In the event of an emergency someone can get stuck inside the car because the door wont open. And no, the child safety lock is not engaged.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 saturn aura. The contact stated while driving various speeds the door locks would open and close on their own. In addition, he noticed that after parking his vehicle and letting it sit for a while the alarm would activate without warning. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000. The current mileage was approximately 16,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Rear door lock unlock mechanism malfunction. Locks but won't unlock. Also, when backing up and turning wheel to extreme right, front end moans. One mechanic thought it might be engine mounts. Brought in service under warranty, and they "lubricated the steering box." problem recurred after warranty expired.
First front passenger side door lock stopped working. The left rear passenger lock stopped working and now right passenger door lock does work. All locks do not respond to fob or switch activation. Locks do not respond to placing the car in drive and do not lock automatically.
Door locks will unlock at highway speed on their own door lock switches are unresponsive only manual locking or keyless entry fob will lock or unlock while vehicle is in operation. As a safety measure I thought the keyless entry was disabled during operation of vehicle.
About every 3 or 4 months, the hood latch releases from the primary and only the secondary latch is holding the hood close. I don't notice this until at highway speeds I notice the hood fluttering in the wind. I've leased the car for about 7months and this has happened may be 2 or 3 times.
