2008 Saturn Aura Other or unknown Problems

“I would not even fill out this form if the things I am about to write down did not happen at such an unexplained and with extreme progression. The car started off with just a wobble and a jerk. …”

“Failure of the wave plate. My vehicle has only 82,000 miles and the wave plate is failing. I'm unable to reverse and the gears shift while driving. This is a known issue in GM cars and they refuse to repair. Unfortunately, a single special bulletin was sent out and my vehicle met the criteria for mileage but was 5 months pass the 10 year mark. Since this is a known issue all vehicles should be recalled and a fix should be implemented or a reimbursement provided to others due to their negligence in design. This is a safety issue and causes the vehicle to do hard shifts while driving. …”

“7/6/15-pulled into a parking space, put car in park, got back in, put car in reverse, pulling out backwards. When I put car back into drive it wouldn't go into forward. Car was running but I had no gears and my shifter was loose...nothing. I looked on line for any other recalls on my 2008 Saturn AURA for this problem and found bulletin # 14152, which states my vehicle has a condition which the transmission shift cable could fracture at any time. When this fracture occurs, the drive may not be able to select a different gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended direction. …”

“Just recently my 2008 Saturn AURA has been hit or miss with starting. The battery was replaced 1 month ago & there aren't any other known issues with the vehicle. It also has very low mileage; 45,000. The vehicle sometimes will not start. No noises, it just won't turn on. Sometimes you have to turn the key many times for it eventually start. I'm wondering if it's possibly the ignition switch and if there are any other reported incidents. I know that gmc has had recalls on other makes/models for this same issue & so I'm wondering if this vehicle should now be added to that list.”

“I dropped my son off at school today. When I arrived, I did not put the car in park. He exited the car, closed the door, and I drove away. About 100 yards later, I made a left turn, and the passenger door flew open. Had some one been in that seat, they could have fallen out easily. I tried to close the door, but it would not latch. I put the car in park and tried again. It still did not latch. I locked and unlocked the door using the power lock switch, and that only worked after two or three times. Later on my way home, I stopped at the store. Turned the car off, got out and shut the door. …”
