ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
I was driving and heard a weird noise. Then the ABS light came on, the electronic stability control traction control system came on (service ESC and service traction). Start the and driving down the street.
2009 saturn aura stationary shows messages "service traction, ESC off, service ESC" constantly on the gauge cluster. Alongside the messages the ABS light and the ESC off icon is constantly on in the gauge cluster. When the vehicle was driven the message "pwr str" referring to power steering showed on the gauge cluster then disappears. Upon researching these issues, I have found that the federal safety agency and gm have issued recalls and tsbs regarding these issues, however the VIN for my vehicle does not show its under recall. I suspect this may be the case of vins not included in the recall system. The federal safety agency campaign number: 14v153000, 14e044000, 14v153000, 14v252000, I have contacted gm and was told my vehicle is not covered under recall and must be taken to a dealer for diagnostics under case number 8-440138641. I will take it to the dealer for the vehicle to be diagnosed, however in the case the vehicle is involved in an accident due to the ESC and power steering. I want the federal safety agency to have a record on file of these issues as a precautionary measure.
My car has been clicking off the electrical power steering randomly since about last december or earlier and when the steering turns off then my electric stability control turns off and the ABS brakes turn off all at the same time I am aware there is a recall for many of the saturn auras out there but my VIN doesn't show a recall for this particular car. If there is any information about this for my car in particular it would be of great help.
Vehicle continues to lose power driving on highway over 40 MPH. Aaa contacted because the vehicle would not start. Aaa tested vehicle and noted that battery was good, alternator was good. Vehicle struggles to start at ignition. Vehicle is part of recall but when I run VIN at gm site it states my vehicle does not have an active recall. Esc and ABS light are always turning on and engine attempt to shut off at high speeds on fwy. Again, I call the dealer and my VIN is not part of active recall yet all safety and life threatening indications are there. Please advise.
When driving my car will briefly lose power. Gas becomes unresponsive. Once everything kicks back on the transmission will not shift, and dash displays service ESC, traction, power steering, ABS. After this happens car will not start after it's shut off. Sometimes it just flickers, causing brake lights to stay on, blinkers to cut in and out.
On 12/06/2013 my pregnant daughter, my 15 year old and 2 year old daughter were driving home in our 2009 saturn aura. As she began to turn into a busy highway, the engine began to shake and the vehicle suddenly stopped mid turn in the middle of a busy intersection/hwy. Passer drivers pulled over and helped push my girls to safety. Aaa was contacted and the vehicle was towed to my home. I contacted the dealer and I was informed that my car was no longer under warranty and that I would have to cover the costs of servicing the car. The vehicle continues to lose power and try to shut off at certain speeds. Abs and traction lights come off and on, and keys get stuck in the ignition. Unexpected shut off occurred again on 12/17/2013.
