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.

Car lost traction control, all gauges malfunctioned, all warning lights came on, car sputtered before I shut it off. It took several minutes before it would restart. This occurred while driving at 35 mph. It did it twice. Both times I had to pull over and let it calm down. Managed to get it to a nearby dealer where it remains. This issue happened previously at 39,900 miles. Was told by dealer it was a no com code for the battery, which was replaced.
