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.

Every time it rains I get water in the spare tire area and the drivers side rear floorboard. I first noticed it because I was getting ice buildup on the inside of my windows, I had to actually scrape the inside of my windows.In the spring I was asked to check my trunk and sure enough I had about 4 inches of standing water in there, I had to drill a hole in the bottom so it would drain.I finally found where the leak is coming from but now I have to see how much it is going to cost to have fixed.I have to have both the rear and the front windshields replaced because I have a smaller leak in the front passenger side as well.
