NHTSA — Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/Panel Problems

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Aura’s issues with brakes, such as worn out rotors, isn’t as severe as the prior model year, but let’s just not start awarding them any brake awards just yet. Does that even exist? “The Brakies”?

One thing the 2008 does share with the 2007 is a recall of a busted gear shifter cable which can make it look like your car is in park, when the transmission is still engaged. You can only imagine what kind of fun that causes.

Aura

  • 800 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Purchased a new 2008 Saturn Aura 3/6/09, with 45 miles returned the car on 3/7/09 for dash glazing, later that day the mileage was over 500 miles. 10 days later the car stopped and had to be towed in. The cars service history showed previous service for the same problem in addition to mileage of 300 plus miles. The dealer refuse to compromise. I traded in 1998 Lexus and put $5000 down. An of 3/7/09 I have requested a refund and my car do to odometer tampering.
