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.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I had problems with ice on the inside of my windshield this winter and now in the spring I always have fog on the inside of my windows. I was asked to check my spare tire area for water that may explain why this was occurring and sure enough it was full of water and I don't now where it is coming from I had had some bags of salt still in my back seat from winter and took them out to put in the garage and found about a 1/4 inch of water on the floor on the drivers side.
I also had my radio go dead from getting a jump start this winter and still need to track out the wires to see if its just lost power of if the radio is really dead, pain in the ass car.
Has any one else had this happen and find the source of the problem?
Please respond if you have any ideas, thanks GJ
