TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE KEPT MOVING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH HE HAD PLACED THE SHIFTER INTO 'R' AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWED 'R'. HE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARD. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE OR OBJECTS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 09V073000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: LEVER AND LINKAGE: COLUMN SHIFT). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,071 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,726. UPDATED 3/28/11 *CN UPDATED 03/31/11

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I DRIVE A 2007 SATURN AURA AND RECENTLY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD ONSTAR DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY ONSTAR PERSONAL STATED THAT THE CODE REGARDING THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT, MEANT THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WAS IN A WRECK. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TALKED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SATURN AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER, MEANING THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN MY CAR THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD SPOKEN TO A LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO MY LIGHT COMING ON AND SHE HAD STATED THAT SHE WAS THERE FOR THAT SAME REASON. SHE ALSO DRIVES A 2007 SATURN AURA. I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. LET ME REMIND YOU THAT MOST PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A SEDAN IS USUALLY KIDS. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR
