NHTSA — Steering Problems

2008 Saturn Aura (Page 6 of 6)

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.

2008 Saturn Aura 4 cyl has power steering problems. Light comes on and off and then the steering locked up while I was driving at about 45 mph. Turned off engine and restarted and steering was back. Having this problem for about 6 months. Saturn said needs new motor for about $300. Ridiculous!!

I am having trouble with my steering. I hear a clunking sound and loose pop feeling in my steering shaft especially on stop and go on upgrades and turning hard sharp turns.. they lubed the intermediary steering shaft but its back again after 5000 miles. I feel the car is unsafe to drive at highway speeds.
