Knock In Steering When Turning
2007 Saturn Aura
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Saturn dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Saturn Aura was a mid-size car meant to replace the somewhat problematic L-Series. Unfortunately, the Aura brought its own problems: namely cheap brake parts that needed early replacement and a gear shifter that could say it’s in park while the transmission was still engaged.
Brake problems, including uneven wear and warped rotors that cause the car to wobble, are common complaints from 2007 owners. Did GM use metal for its rotors that can’t stand the heat? That’s what some say, and it’s hard to argue when reports show that rotors could start to warp as early as 500 miles off the dealer lot.
Meanwhile, a busted gear shifter cable lead to some unwanted rollaways. That’s because the shifter could say “Park” while the transmission was still in drive, reverse or neutral. A defect investigation into the issue was opened in 2011, eventually leading to a recall of 56,000 vehicles in 2014.

When I turn the car makes a knocking noise. In the winter it cries like a baby. People stare at me it's embarrassing. When I go to slow down it shakes and vibrates and some times it's hard to hold still, which is really dangerous. Other cars like mine got recalled for similar problems but not mine. I have a kid and I wanna feel safe.
