| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN ASTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FOR THE HORN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 76,900. |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD THE SHIFT LEVER WENT INTO POSITION HOWEVER WHEN MY WIFE STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GO FORWARD THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN REVERSE. APPARENTLY THE SHIFT CABLE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. SHE WAS LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THUS HAD TO BE TOWED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE USE OF A PLASTIC CLIP IN SUCH A KEY POSITION IS SAFE AND THUS SHOULD BE REVIEWED. *TR |
