Dashboards Lights Come On For No Reason

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

I had problems from the beginning of what I believe is an electrical problem. Everything was always repaired under warranty so I never really worried about it. The problems are when I start driving after a few miles the dashboard lights finally light up. What is very annoying is the control lights: check engine, service traction, or check airbags come on all the time. I take it to the dealers and they reset it and then its fine.

My remote control locks have been replaced numerous times for free. I had to replace rotors and break pads frequently. Unfortunately the warranty has expired and I have to pay for these services. At the moment I am driving the car with check engine light on for over a month. I will take it back in for next oil change and will have it reset. I do not pay attention anymore to the lights and I can only hope that there will not be any actual serious problems.
