2007 SATURN AURA Service Brakes Problems

Several Issues

The brake lights are illuminated when I’m not breaking, and when I do break, the brake lights will go off and I cannot set my cruise control because of it.

While driving the car doesn’t switch gear properly. The car made a stalling noise and as soon as I remove my foot from the gas pedal it’s automatically braking.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that she was calling on behalf of her deceased son. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing failures with the electrical system. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the brake lights would fail to illuminate while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that her son had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who had informed him that the brakes needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

I'VE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP ILLUMINATING WHEN NOT PRESSED AND HAS DESTROYED TWO BRAND NEW SETS OF ROTORS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS DUE TO HOT SPOTS AND STRESS FRACTURES. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHETHER I'M DOING CITY OR COUNTRY DRIVING. ALSO THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WILL FAIL TO LIGHT UP SOME OF THE TIMES WHENEVER I'M ONLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT WILL REFUSE TO LIGHT UP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY START ON THERE OWN. THIS WILL LAST ABOUT 15 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR. WHEN BROUGHT INTO A MECHANIC THEY CANT HELP.

SINCE NEW, WE HAVE HAD PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUES, IE: NOT SENSING AN ADULT PASSENGER. BRAKES HAVE BEEN OPERATING POORLY, WITH REAR PADS WEARING OUT, AND FRONT NOT. FOUR NEW MASTER CYLINDERS, PADS & ROTORS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. NOW MID 2018, STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM UNDER REAR OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER SATURNS, HAVE A FUEL LEAK RELATING TO THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES. I SUSPECT THE SAME FOR OUR CAR. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FULL THE TANK IS, AND OF COURSE IT IS PARKED. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. WE LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE IT IS HOT. WE NOW HAVE ABOUT 130,000MILES ON THE CAR.

Mileage: 120,000

MY EXTERNAL BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS I CRANK MY VEHICLE. THEY DO NOT GO OFF UNLESS I PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES. ALSO WHEN I FIRST GET IN MY VEHICLE WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL IT GETS STUCK AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. I NEED THIS CHECKED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME FILING A CLAIM. THE FIRST ONE WAS NOT LOOKED AT.

I CAN NOT GET SERVICE WITHOUT MAKING MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AS REQUIRED BY GM TO INSTALL A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO THEM.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF AND THEN ON. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAPPEN WHILE STOPPED WITH BRAKES ON OR WHILE DRIVING WITH BRAKES OFF. GM SERVICE POLICY PREVIOUSLY COMPLIED WITH TO FIX CONDITION. BRAKE SENSOR WAS AT FAULT. SENSOR REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING 55 ON A BUSY TWO LANE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE DINGED AND READ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ON CONSOLE, IMMEDIATELY THE IT FLASHED ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND ENGINE DISABLED AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT ALL THE WAY OFF THE ROAD DUE TO THE UPHILL INCLINE - THE CAR BEHIND ME SHOT OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR MULTIPLE CAR PILE UP. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER FOR THE FIRST TWENTY MILES - I COULD TOP OUT AT ABOUT 45 AND HEAR AN ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT SOUND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE GONE BY THE TIME I GOT THERE AND IT WAS BACK UP TO POWER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKELY A SENSOR ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. IT HAS DISABLED ON ME ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES SO AT ANY SPEED. IT STARTED THIS BEFORE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, SPECIFICALLY AS I LOST TRACTION ON SOME ICY SNOW AND SPUN THE TIRES A FEW TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS ADDRESSED I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AS THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM ACTUATORS FAILED AT 210 K. WE SOMEHOW FORGOT ABOUT THE TC PROBLEM AND THREE DAYS INTO DRIVING WITH A NEW ENGINE THE CAR DISABLED AGAIN STATING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL.

Mileage: 86,000

APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS AGO, I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT FROM PARK GEAR TO DRIVE GEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES DURING THIS WINDOW. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE ESC LIGHT IS ON WHILE OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT IS OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO "TRICK" THE CAR FROM SHIFTING TO PARK TO DRIVE IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF, PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL OR EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ENSURE CAR IS STILL IN PARK AND GENTLY PUSH AND HOLD THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON THEN CRANK THE CAR BACK ON.

I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT GM HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #11340C ON THE 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK AND NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES, FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY ENGINE CODE IS LY7, SAME AS THE OUTLOOK AND OTHER VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY I'VE ALREADY HAD 1 RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, JUST GOT A NOTICE OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, AND I'M ON MY THIRD SET OF COMPLETE BRAKES IN JUST 69,600 MILES AND I NEED ALL NEW BRAKES AGAIN. ROTORS ARE WARPED AFTER10 TO 15,000 MILES! ALSO THE "SERVICE TRACTION" LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING PERIODICALLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I'M GETTING NO ANSWERS OR HELP FROM GM OR IT'S DEALERS. *TR

SINCE PURCHASED ISSUE WITH STEERING, HAD ALIGNMENT BEFORE PURCHASE BUT STEERING IS JUST SIMPLY OFF. THE CRUISE WORKS WHEN WANT AND SCARE ME WHEN PICK UP SPEED GOES TOO FAST. WE WERE IN A GROUP FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER AND PERSON BEHIND ME SAID MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING BACKWARDS, WHEN NOT APPLYING BRAKE, BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, WHEN APPLIED BRAKE LIGHTS ON. THERE WAS MECHANIC IN GROUP HE CHECKED, SAID COULD BE WIRING AND TAKE TO DEALER. WHEN PUT ON SIGNAL HAVE TO HOLD AND WHEN IT DOES WORK HAVE TO CUT OFF. I WOULD REALLY ENJOY THIS CAR, BUT DO HAVE SOME ISSUES. LOOKED UP RECALLS HAD NINE, CALLED DEALERSHIP ONLY 2 CAME UP, BUT ONE HAD TO DO WITH BRAKES. NEW OR USED LOOK UP RECALLS BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE. *TR

Mileage: 143,500

I HAVE NOT 1 BUT 2 RECALLS ON MY 2007 AURA SATURN. THE ONE IN CONCERN IS THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE SERVICE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKE THE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AND WHEN I DO NOT APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK DUE TO MY BREAK LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN YELLED AT BY THE DRIVERS WHO HAVE ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THEY THINK MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING - WHICH THEY ARE RIGHT. I HAVE CALLED GM TO NO AVAIL. THEY TELL ME THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PART TO BE MADE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2014 AND IT IS NOW AUGUST 13, 2014 AND STILL THEY CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL EVEN BE AVAILABLE. SO EVERY DAY I PUT MYSELF IN DANGER AND RISK MY LIFE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT GM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED. I WONDER IF IT WERE THEIR CHILD BEHIND THE WHEEL IF THEY WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY??????? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AND WILL PUT MY STORY ON FACEBOOK FOR ALL TO SEE SO THEY ARE AWARE. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STREET TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE CAR BEHIND DID NOT REALIZE I WAS TURNING BECAUSE AS I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF INSTEAD OF COMING ON. I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT IS OFF. A CAR BEHIND STOPPED AND TOLD ME OF THE INCIDENT AND ONLY SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE HE SAW MY TURN SIGNAL WAS ON. THIS INCIDENT COULD OF LEAD TO A SERIOUS REAR ENDING ACCIDENT AND COULD OF EVEN CAUSED A DEATH. I DID NOTICE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 132K. I HAVE MULTIPLE BRAKE ISSUES I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES 4 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2007. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT WITH THIS MILEAGE THE AVERAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO REPLACE THE BRAKES TWO TIMES AND THAT FOUR TIMES WAS UNHEARD OF. I REQUEST THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE DONE ON THIS SITUATION. I SEE FROM OTHER POSTING THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JS

RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES, RECALL # 14152; AND RECALL # 13036. RECALL# 14152, HAS BEEN REPLACED I'M ASSUMING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT AN HIGHER SPEED THAN WHAT I'M DRIVING, THE RPM DIAL SHOOTS UP TO 5 OR 6 ON THE RPM DIAL THEN GRADUALLY GO DOWN TO 1. WHEN I AM AT AN COMPLETE STOP, MY VEHICLE IS SLOW ABOUT ACCELERATING, WHICH CAN BE SCARY BECAUSE PEOPLE BEHIND ME ARE DRIVING FASTER THAN I'M MOVING, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT A HIGHER SPEED THAN I'M DRIVING. I PRAY THAT THIS RECALL WILL RESOLVE THIS ISSUE I AM AN 65 YEAR OLD LADY, WITH 2 GRANDCHILDREN THAT I TAKE ON DIFFERENT EVENTS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT AN POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFAULT IN MY VEHICLE COULD CAUSE AN FATAL ACCIDENT TO MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE ESPECIALLY MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS LETTER IS NOTICE TO YOU OF MY CONCERN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR I'M ON AN FIXED INCOME. THANK YOU. OH BY THE WAY RECALL #13036 IS NOT IN STOCK YET, I'M WAITING FOR PART TO COME IN .I PRAY IT WILL COME IN BEFORE MY CAR BREAKDOWN PERMANENTLY. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON ALL THE TIME WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED. CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. CALLED GM AND THEY CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.HAVE TAKEN TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. 1ST TIME THEY REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH(DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM)2ND TIME REPLACED 2 BULBS THAT WERE "DIM"(DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM)3RD TIME APPLIED DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO BAS CONNECTOR, STILL NOT FIXED.WHY IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ON MOTORTREND WEBSITE DATED 5/14/2014 BUT GM AND THEIR DEALERS PLAY DUMB?HOW CAN PEOPLE GET THIS FIXED? *TR

Mileage: 126,622

WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2012, WITH APPROX. 37K MILES ON IT. WITHIN 50 MILES, WE REALIZED THE BRAKES HAD AN ISSUE & TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER, WHO DID THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE/REPAIR THE BRAKES (SPECIFICALLY THE ROTORS) 3 TIMES- APPROX. EVERY 10K MILES, AS THE VEHICLE NOW SITS AT 63K MILES. I UNDERSTAND BRAKE PAD WEAR- BUT REPLACING THE *ROTORS* THAT OFTEN IS RIDICULOUS AND EXPENSIVE. SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE ROTORS TO WARP, EITHER POOR QUALITY MATERIALS OR A PROBLEM WITH THE HYDRAULICS CAUSING UNEVEN BRAKING- PLEASE INVESTIGATE & START A RECALL! *TR

Mileage: 37,000

HAD BRAKES CHANGE THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY FOR FAULTY BRAKE PADS. SAME THING WITH THE BRAKES IN ABOUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. POWER STEERING WHINES AND LEAKS SOMEWHERE. NO POWER STEERING. AND NOW WHEEL BEARING HUBS HUMMING AND BAD. WENT TO DEALER FOR BRAKES THEY REPLACE BOTH TIMES BUT NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT. TOLD THEM I BELIEVE BOTH WHEEL BEARING ARE BAD ONLY REPLACE ONE. AND KNOW OTHER ONE IS WORSE THEN BEFORE. AND ALSO TOLD THEM POWER STEERING WAS NOT GOOD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKING NOT THE STEERING. ALSO I HAD TOLD THE TIRES LOST AIR THE REPLACED ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT . NOW HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER ONES. AND NOW ALL IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVERYTHING I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. I WAS PASSING THROUGH THE TOLL BOOTH AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NOTICED THROUGH MY REARVIEW MIRROR THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I STEPPED ON THE BREAK AND THE WENT OFF. I MUST SAY BECAUSE FEARED IT WOULD BE A COSTLY FIX I IGNORED IT FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I SAW ANOTHER SATURN AURA WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE BEHIND THE ELDERLY WOMAN UNTIL WE BOTH AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I PULLED ALONG SIDE HER TO INFORM HER OF WHAT I SAW. I ALSO TOLD HER MY CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING. SHE THANKED ME FOR TELLING HER A DROVE OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME HE DID BELIEVE IT WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT COULD BE ABSOLUTELY SURE UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FOR THE DAY. AGAIN NOT REALLY IN A POSITION TO FIX WHAT MAY BE COSTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. FINALLY I WAS STOPPED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST AND HE EXPLAINED THAT WHILE DRIVING BEHIND ME HE NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON BUT AS WE APPROACHED THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHICH WAS RED I SLOWED DOWN( STEPPING ON THE BRAKE) AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF UNTIL I WAS AT A FULL STOP AND MY FOOT WAS PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BREAK THEN THE BREAK LIGHT COME BACK ON. AS SOON AS I SAW THE RECALL I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY BRAKES AND THE FACT THAT WHEN I TRY TO MOVE MY GEAR OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE I SOMETIMES HAVE TO FORCE IT BECAUSE IT SEEMS STUCK.THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW ITS NOT. THIS I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT MY CAR WOULD BE DOING ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN TWO RECALLS BUT MY CAR(BASED ON MY VIN#) IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE GM IS TYING TO MINIMIZE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE CARS THEY WILLING SOLD KNOWING THEY HAD ISSUES. *TR

Mileage: 100,000

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THEN I REALIZED MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE RPM PASSED THREE. I NOTICED BOTH MY FRONT TIRES WERE SMOKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME HE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE CALIPER. A MONTH LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING. HE THEN TOLD ME IT NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND I HAVE TO PAY. *TR

BRAKES LIGHTS ARE REVERSED. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL (WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, WHEN I AM ACCELERATING/COASTING). WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN THE ISSUE IS OCCURING THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND I ALSO HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP ON AND OFF FOR YEARS NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE RECALL.

Mileage: 40,000

OCCURRING OFTEN BUT INTERMITTENTLY, MY BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING ENGAGED. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ENGAGED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF AND WILL THEN COME BACK ON WHEN DISENGAGED. THIS ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW CRUISE CONTROL TO BE ACTIVATED WHILE THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MULTIPLE SATURN AURA OWNERS. THE CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS DRIVER SAFETY. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE INTO CONSIDERATION AS A RECALL FOR SATURN AURA OWNERS. *TR

FIRST NOTICED CRUISE DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE. CRUISE CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER TRYING IT AFTER SEVERAL MILES. SECOND, A FEW WEEKS LATER, CRUISE QUIT FUNCTIONING AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE NOT TOUCHING BRAKE PETAL. WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PETAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF, AND THEN THEY WILL COME ON WHEN THE PETAL IS RELEASED. DROVE 60 MILES THIS WAY IN THE DARK. WHEN I REACHED DESTINATION IT WAS DAWN LIGHT AND CAR WAS RUNNING IN PARK. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND RUNNING LIGHTS ON. WHEN I HIT BRAKE PETAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD FUNCTION AS NORMAL. I DON'T KNOW IF CRUISE WAS WORKING SINCE I WAS PARKED. PERSONAL THOUGHT; COULD BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE ONLY BE RELATED WHILE THE AUTO HEADLAMPS ARE FUNCTIONING? MY INVESTIGATION LED TO MANY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AROUND THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME ON SATURN AURA, CHEVY MALIBU, AND PONTIAC G6. IE BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATING IN REVERSE OF INTENDED DESIGN, CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, AND ALSO TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING INTO OR OUT OF GEAR BY THE SELECTOR LEAVER. HOWEVER, I AM NOT NOTICING A SHIFTER ISSUE AT THIS TIME. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FUNCTIONING IN REVERSE OF NORMAL DESIGN. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS SEEM TO BE RELATED AND HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. I ALSO FOUND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN NO.: 08-05-22-009 WITH ALL OF THESE RELATED PROBLEMS. PLEASE FINISH INVESTIGATION AND MOVE THIS TO A RECALL! *TR

HARD SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE/REVERSE. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK AND WHEN I PRESS ON BRAKES IT MAKES A SCRAPING SOUND. ALSO WHILE DRIVING THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL I PRESS ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT AND CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST RUN INTO ME. THIS OCCURS OFTEN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAPPENS DURING THE DAY BUT IT DOES AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN SEE THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT VIA MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. *TR

THREE PROBLEMS SEEM TO HAVE OCCURRED AROUND THE SAME TIME: 1) THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED; 2) THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE; AND 3) SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE GEAR SELECTOR OUT OF PARK IS TO PRESS DOWN VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON. IT WILL COME ON WHEN I PRESS THE GAS AND STAY ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT ALSO GOES OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE SOMETIMES. I HAVE HAD IT WORKED ON AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED MORE THAN ONCE. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IT IS HARD TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. THE BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLICKER RANDOMLY. I NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE IF NOT MORE. THIS DOESN'T COUNT THE 6 TIMES IT HAD BEEN LOOKED AT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THE PROBLEM NEVER SEEMS TO GET FIXED. THE CLOSEST GM DEALER IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY AS WELL. *TR

FIRST IT WAS MY GEAR SHIFT, I HAD TO GET IT FIXED BACK IN MAY OF THIS YEAR 2013 BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND DID NOT PARK AT ALL, MATTER OF FACT, WHEN I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK IT STARTED REVERSING, LITERALLY GOING BACKWARDS. I GOT IT FIXED BUT YET THERE SEEMS TO STILL BE ISSUES WITH THE GEAR SHIFT, JUST HASN'T BEEN THE SAME. NOW WHEN I DRIVE MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAYS ON, BUT WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES MY BRAKE LIGHTS SHUTS OFF. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND ALSO INSIDE MY CAR THE LIGHTS SEEM TO FLICKER ON MY DASH BOARD AND EVERYWHERE ELSE LIGHTS ARE IN THE CAR SO I'M ASSUMING THAT'S A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. UPDATED 08/15/13*LJ THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WITHOUT PUSHING THE PEDDLE AND OFF WHEN THE PEDDLE WAS PRESSED. I WAS LUCKY TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NIGHT TIME. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN FOR A MECHANIC. *TR

ESC WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES UNDER BRAKING. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SHUT OFF OR NOT GO ON FOR SOME REASON. I WAS ADVISED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I CHECKED THE BRAKE LIGHTS I FOUND THAT THEY WERE CONSTANTLY ON BUT WHEN I ENGAGED THE BRAKES THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. I WAS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING TAILGATED AND NOW I KNOW WHY. IF YOU TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF INSTEAD OF ON THEN IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THE CAR BEHIND YOU. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE TIER 2 TECH AND THE SUPERVISOR ACTED LIKE THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY WIDE SPREAD AND THAT THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY STILL CLAIMED THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD. WHEN IS THE NHTSA GOING TO COMPLETE IT'S INVESTIGATION BECAUSE I REALLY CAN'T AFFORD A LARGE BILL FROM THE DEALER. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 21,00 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 62,000...THE ECS LIGHT PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE CRUISE/ BRAKE PROBLEM STARTED PROBABLY A YEAR AGO. *TR

I WILL BE DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN AURA AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL BE ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING, AND THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING USED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I ACTUALLY USE THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE. ALSO THIS CAUSES MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK. IT WILL EITHER NOT WORK OR IT WILL WORK THEN SHUT OFF SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I USE THE BRAKES AND THEN ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WOULD TURN ON THEN WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF. *TR

IN LATE MARCH 2013, I TOOK MY CAR TO CURRY'S AUTO SERVICE IN DULLES, VA TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF SQUEALING SOUND WHEN I BACK MY CAR OUT OFF PARKING SPACES. I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE REAR ROTORS RESURFACED, REAR PADS REPLACED AND REPLACE SHOCKS AND STRUTS. ON APRIL 2, 2013, WHILE IN GA FOR BUSINESS/PERSONAL PURPOSES I TOOK MY 2007 SATURN AURA XR TO TIRES PLUS IN SUWANEE, GA TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIR WORK. DESPITE THE COMPLETED REPAIR WORK, FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THE SOUND KEPT COMING BACK ONLY OCCURRING WHEN I BACK OUT OFF PARKING SPACES. ON APRIL 27, 2013 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TIRES PLUS IN CHANTILLY, VA. THEY DETERMINED THE REAR ROTORS WERE NOT RESURFACED PROPERLY AND REAR LEFT SHOCK WAS LOOSE. ON MAY 4, 2013 TIRES PLUS, CHANTILLY, VA LOCATION RESURFACED THE REAR ROTORS AND TIGHTENED THE SHOCK. WITHIN TWO HOURS OFF THE REPAIR THE SQUEALING NOISE IS BACK AGAIN. THE CONSISTENT NOISE OCCURS DAILY WHENEVER I BACK OUT OFF PARKING SPACES. I HAVE ALREADY INVESTED OVER $1,100 IN REPAIRS WITH NO RESOLUTION. SCANNING THE INTERNET, I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2007 SATURA AURA OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT SQUEALING ISSUE. *TR

I NOTICED THIS MORNING AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK (DARK, 5 AM, CST) THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE BACK WINDOW STAYS LIT. IT WOULD GO OFF FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED, BUT THEN IT WOULD COME BACK ON AND STAY LIT UNTIL THE PEDAL IS PRESSED AGAIN. I'VE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS WIDESPREAD AND COMMON IN THIS CAR. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND ARE UNPREDICTABLE. THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY REPLACED THE BRAKE MODULE ONCE, BUT WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON-GOING. MY RESEARCH HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE CHEAP CONNECTORS IN THE BRAKE MODULE CORRODE AND CAUSE MAY ISSUES: 1. THE BRAKE LIKES WILL OFTEN STAY ON WHILE NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE. THEN THEY WILL TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN, BUT IS ALSO INCONSISTENT AT TIMES. THE LIGHTS SIMPLY ARE NOT RELIABLE AND DO NOT WORK AS THEY SHOULD. 2. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION DUE TO FAULTY BRAKE ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL. 3. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT THE GEAR SELECTOR DUE TO THE SANE ISSUE. YOU MUST PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE TO GET IT TO SHIFT AND THIS LEADS TO ABNORMAL SOUNDS AND OPERATION OF THE BRAKE LEVER. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WE DON'T FEEL IT ACCEPTABLE TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX AN ONGOING PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS LED TO US NOT USING THE VEHICLE MUCH DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 50K MILES ON IT AFTER 6 YEARS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS NOT TO REPLACE THE MODULE, BUT RATHER GREASE THE CONNECTORS. SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY CLEAR CAUSE (REPLACE CHEAP CONNECTORS WITH ONES THAT WILL LAST AND NOT CORRODE... NOT REPLACE MODULE WITH ANOTHER INADEQUATE ONE). PLEASE RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SET. NOTICED CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON WITHOUT STEPPING ON BRAKE. STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. WAS ABLE TO SET CRUISE CONTROL BUT SHORTLY AFTER SETTING THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND CRUISE CONTROL RELEASED. DETERMINED BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED THEN BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT MOMENTARILY UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FURTHER. DETERMINED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY AND ADJUSTED CORRECTLY. SERVICE REP REPLACED CONTROL COMPUTER: APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS LATER PROBLEM RECURRED. GM SERVICE BULLETIN CLAIMS PROBLEM IS CONNECTOR ON COMPUTER BOARD THAT DEVELOPS CORROSION. APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE IS SUPPOSED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM; IT DOES BUT JUST TEMPORARILY - MUST BE REAPPLIED EVERY FEW MONTHS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TURNED ALL THE WAY OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF AND BACK ON. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AND WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE THE LIGHT GO OFF. THIS CAR IS BECOMING SO PROBLEMATIC THE SHIFT IS ALSO STUCK A LOT OF THE TIME WHERE I CAN NOT EVEN SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK, I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARD ON BRAKE TO RELEASE THE PARK. HOPEFULLY COMPLAINTS FROM MANY PEOPLE WILL CAUSE A RECALL THIS IS NOT SAFE. *TR

THE BACK BRAKES LIGHTS COME ON WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS IS MORE OBVIOUS WHEN IT IS DARK BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE BACK WINDOW. AND WHEN YOU BRAKE THE LIGHT GOES OFF. VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER WON'T COVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF SELLING THE CAR BECAUSE ITS SO FRUSTRATING. *TR

THANKS TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE 2007 SATURN AURAS BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO SHARE MY STORY. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE WASHINGTON DC BELTWAY (I-495) ON THE MARYLAND SIDE. I HAD FAMILY FOLLOWING ME IN ANOTHER CAR AS WE WERE TRAVELING UP TO BALTIMORE. MY FAMILY KEPT TELLING ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. CONSIDERING HOW CONGESTED DC TRAFFIC IS I AM VERY LUCKY I DID NOT GET OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED AT STERLING CHEVROLET IN STERLING, VA...AND WAS TOLD THEY REALLY COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT HAPPENED. *TR

MY SATURN IS EXHIBITING THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM REPORTED IN MEDIA. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS SHOWING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON WITHOUT PEDAL DEPRESSED AND MOST CONCERNING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT COMING ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED. I'VE HAD CAR SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP TWICE AND HAVE FOLLOWED THE TSB ON WIRE CORROSION AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. IT EXISTED THIS MORNING. I BORROWED A TECH 2 COMPUTER AND HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SENSOR. THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION READS A NEGATIVE POSITION OF -50 AND THIS TURNS ON THE BRAKE LIGHT. WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS ACTING NORMAL IT READS A BRAKE PEDAL POSITION OF +3. AS YOU PUSH THE BRAKES DOWN THE PEDAL POSITION INCREASES FROM THE STARTING NEGATIVE VALUE UNTIL IT GETS TO 50 AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON. SO I HAVE A 100 POINT TRAVEL WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK THE OPPOSITE. I HAVE THIS ALL ON VIDEO. ALSO, WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS APPEARING, IF I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND RELEASE IT, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. I THEN COUNT TO FIVE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE COMPUTER GOING INTO SOME ALARM MODE. IF I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL EVERY FIVE SECONDS, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS OFF. I WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND SHOW MY VIDEO. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND GOES AWAY WHEN THE CAR/COCKPIT WARMS UP. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT FIVE MILES OF DRIVING. *TR UPDATED 03/27/13*LJ

IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AND AGAIN IN JULY 2011, MY CAR BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH BACK UP LIGHTS (NON EXISTENT) AND BRAKE LIGHTS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON WHEN DRIVING AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THIS ALSO SEEMED TO HAPPEN IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. OTHER DRIVERS FLAGGED ME DOWN TO ALERT ME TO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CHIMSEL LIGHT IN THE REAR WINDOW REMAINED LIT WHILE DRIVING AND TURNED OFF IF BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TWICE..IT TOOK 2 WEEKS EACH TIME, TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY IDENTIFIED AS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, THAT HAD TO BE COMPLETED TWICE. 2007 SATURN AURAS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT USED MY CRUISE CONTROL SINCE JULY 2011, AS I AM AFRAID TO START THIS WHOLE EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS SEQUENCE AGAIN. *TR

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN WORKING SPORADICALLY. SOMETIMES THEY STAY ON, SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT COME ON, AND SOMETIMES THEY WORK OPPOSITE (WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES THEY GO OFF AND WHEN YOUR ARE NOT ON THE BRAKES THEY COME ON). THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. IT HAS GONE TO A DEALER ONCE ALREADY AND I HAVE ALREADY MADE A SECOND APPOINTMENT WITH THEM FOR THE SAME ISSUE. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR AT LEAST 3 GM MODELS. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. I DRIVE ON THE PA TURNPIKE EVERY MORNING AT SPEEDS OF 55-65 MPH AND IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN I GO TO SLOW DOWN, I AM AT RISK OF SOMEONE HITTING ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SATURN AURA, PONTIAC G6, AND CHEVY MALIBU. *TR

AT VARIOUS TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD THEN GO TURN OFF. WITHIN SECONDS OF TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. ESSENTIALLY THE PEDAL WAS DOING THE OPPOSITE THAT IT SHOULD.(BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE ON WHILE DRIVING AND OFF WHILE BRAKING). THIS ISSUE ALSO CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO TURN OFF RANDOMLY AND TO NOT ENGAGE WHEN SELECTED. EVENTUALLY THE PROBLEM BECAME BAD ENOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR HAD INTERNAL FAULT CAUSING WRONG VOLTAGE BEING RETURNED TO THE BCM. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $227.33. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG W/CRUISE CONTROL ON IT SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF, AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT APPLYING MY BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL I APPLY MY BRAKES THEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE LIGHTS GO OFF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE & THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON & STAY ON UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES AGAIN & THE CRUISE WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON & WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR I HAVE TO PUSH REAL HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERYDAY FOR MONTHS NOW. I'VE HAD MECHANICS CHECK IT OUT THEY REPLACED STOP LIGHT SWITCH & CLEANED CONTACTS & RESET COMPUTER BUT NOTHING WORKS, GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS IN A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR
