SATURN AURA 2008 XE 4CYL. FRONT END CLUNK FELT IN STEERING WHEEL AND FEET AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY WHEN DOING SLIGHT TURNS WITH BRAKING. REPAIR SHOP SAID STRUTS WERE NO GOOD (AT 17,500 MILES). REPLACED STRUTS AT OVER $700. CLUNKING CONTINUED. REPAIR SHOP NOW SAYS RUBBER BUSHINGS IN POWER STEERING RACK ARE NO GOOD. REPLACEMENT BUSHING ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL - EVEN CHECKED ON MALIBU AND PONTIAC G? - NO LUCK. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD THAT ENTIRE STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED (HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS) BECAUSE THERE IS NO SOURCE TO GET $3 BUSHINGS. REPAIR SHOP SAID SAFE TO DRIVE, SO CAR WAS NOT REPAIRED AND CLUNKING WILL NOT GET FIXED. SHOULDA BOUGHT A JAPANESE CAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY WITH MY 2008 SATURN AURA SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE INTERIOR WINDSHIELD PANEL. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME NUMEROUS WRECKS. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL 4 HEAD RESTS IN ORDER TO SEE. AFTER 30 YEARS OF DRIVING WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR CITATIONS, DUE TO THE SAME VISIBILITY PROBLEM, I WAS T-BONED CROSSING A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY SATURN HAD TO BE TOWED. *TR
