EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW OFF THE LOT WHILE OUT OF STATE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM UNSATISFIED WITH SATURN THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES AND FIX, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. UNLESS CONTINUOUSLY MY EXPENSE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE LIT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL AND APPLY PRESSURE, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, THUS REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM PETAL, 8 SECONDS, THE LIGHTS FOR MY BRAKES ARE BACK ON. MIND YOU WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, SO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE OFFICERS THAT STOP ME, AND GIVE ME A TICKET FOR REPAIR BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING!! NOT TO MENTION THE TIMES OF BEING ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! GETTING IT FIXED AND IT CONTINUES TO REOCCUR IS GETTING OLD. DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO BE KILLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN GENERAL WITH THE ROTORS AND PADS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT REPAIR REPLACE FACTOR. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS, HAD ROTORS TURNED, HAD THEM REPLACED, ETC MINIMUM OF EVERY 10,000 MILES DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING WARPED, CAUSING SEVERE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. SERVICE GARAGE AT SATURN DEALER JUST SAYS THIS IS A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH THE AURA VEHICLES, BUT NOTHING IS GETTING RESOLVED. AGAIN, DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO BE KILLED TO GET THESE REAL ISSUES SETTLED? THESE ARE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES, NOT WITH SOMETHING MINOR. AGAIN, ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT COMING ON, AND THE GARAGE NOT FINDING A REPEATING ERROR, OCCURS YET OCCASIONALLY. FIX BY TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. INFLATE TIRE SIGNAL REPEATEDLY OCCURS, YET TO FIND ACTUAL CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE. THESE ARE THE REAL CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE, MINOR ISSUES ARE THE DOORS FILLING WITH WATER, PEALING OF INTERIOR ON BLACK AREAS OF DOOR MOLDING, HANDLES. FAILURE OF INCREASE OF IMMEDIATE SPEED WHEN WANTING EXTRA POWER TO PASS OR COMING IN ON RAMP TO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND DOES NOT KICK DOWN IMMEDIATELY. *TR |

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BROKE WHEN MOVING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE. CABLE HAD CORRODED AND BROKE NEAR THE POINT OF CONNECTION TO THE TRANSMISSION IN FRONT OF THE FIREWALL. CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND WOULD NOT RESTART BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WAS NO LONGER IN PARK AND COULD NOT BE SHIFTED. 2008 SATURN AURA 3.5L WITH 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH PROBLEMS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EA11015. SATURN WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY AND REPAIRS COST $307.72. IF BREAKAGE HAD OCCURRED SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN A PARKING LOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO CONTROL OR ABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC OR HARM'S WAY. SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT AND BROKEN WITH 40,000 MILES AND 2 YEARS OLD. *TR |
