While driving on the overpass/highway, car jumps/skips to the side (opposite of turning direction). Steering shaft has been replaced and didn't solve this issue. We have had front end basically re-done also. Losing power steering fluid; power steering whines and is very stiff. I am convinced that this vehicle should be on the recall list!!! very disappointed in the amount of money we have had to sink into this car. We've been dealing with a continuum of repeated problems for 3 plus years!

While driving the car at all speeds, the car jumps in and out of gears while in drive. I have a 30 mile drive to work, and on average this happens 8 times. I have had my car to the dealership numerous times since I purchased the car new in 2008. Each time they take it for a test drive, and then tell me that they cannot reproduce the situation. Yet I take the car home, and not a mile down the road, it will happen to me. I now have just 60,000 miles on the car, and I'm hoping that I won't have to purchase a new transmission after numerous trip to the dealerships. While it was under warranty.

The engine light came on in October saying replace engine & replace timing chain, the mechanic replaced actuators hoping this will eliminate the error indicator lights, it did not. The check engine light came on again January 6th, 2016 with the same codes: Replace engine, replace timing chain. This car has 76,000 miles on it and should not have this problem. I called GM case #8-1761877745 they denied my claim and refused to help. The car is sitting, not being driven. I'm very upset. I need help.

Case # with GMC is 81598832107 9/30/15 was at left turn lane to go in my neighbor hood put in park to grab something of the floor when I put back into drive my car started to reverse. Put it back into park and then drive and the same thing. Lucky I had my neighbor behind me him and others help me push it to a safe zone very close to my house, pushed it half way on drive way and put in park and it rolled across the street while trying to stop it I put myleft foot down caused more pain due to me recent surgery. This car has been to GMC for the recall cable 3 times, this time they said they only place half of it and will now replace the whole cable. Was called on 9/30 5 hours at the shop and was told it was ready, I explained that I don't feel safe driving this car. Too many times for the same cable....I've also had a issue with the smell of gas coming from the car but could not see any fuel, so I took to a mechanic and had them look at it and said te top of the fuel pump was cracked I had them replace the whole pump...there was fuel leaking under my seat, I have now seen there is other Saturn Aura with the same problem. I don't feel safe driving this car this a big issue and if GMC and I can come to an agreement it will be easy agreement. I was really glad that I did no give this car to my young nephew who knows what would of happened......

2008 Saturn Aura. Consumer writes in regards to transmission shift cable recall repair issues. The consumer stated she received a recall letter in November 2012. She scheduled an appointment at the dealer and the repairs were made in January 2013. However, sometime in early 2015, it became difficult for her to shift gears, particularly between reverse and drive. Finally on July 3, 2015, while trying park, the gear would not move from drive to reverse. After quite a struggle she was able to get the vehicle into park, remove the key and set the parking brake. However, when she tried to re-start the vehicle minutes later, the ignition would not start. With the vehicle still in park, with the parking brake set, the vehicle began to roll forward into another vehicle when the battery was being jumped. Fortunately, the consumer was able to stop the vehicle before it made contact with the other vehicle. In order to start the vehicle she had to find where the neutral was on the transmission;park on the gear was reverse for the transmission; drive for the transmission was between neutral and reverse; and park for the transmission was absent requiring the emergency parking brake to hold the vehicle in place. An independent mechanic replaced the transmission shifter cable and the bracket that was replaced back in January 2013. The original part, that was not a problem at the time, was replaced with a part that became a problem later. The consumer referenced recall # 12V460000.

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. The car may not be able to be shifted into park or any other gear. I believe this is what has occurred. When I called the phone # for Saturn I was told that my car does not come under this recall, yet back in November of 2012 I did receive a recall for a similar problem with the transmission shift cable that has end fitting tabs that may fracture or break. This problem was fixed by a GM dealer in August of 2013. Checking online I found that recall # 14152 expands an earlier recall #12106 (which was corrected 8/2013), yet Saturn says this June 2014 recall # 14152 does not apply to my car. I believe that it does. Can anyone help me with this so I can drive my car again?
