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've had the car for about 9 months when the problem started with my fuel gauge. I always check the odometer when I start to drive. The first time the problem started I checked the odometer which showed I had 130 miles left. I drove 4 miles and I got a warning that I was low on gas. From that time on I made sure to filled up the tank before it reached the 1/4 tank on the gauge. Another time I filled up the tank and drove over sixty miles and the gauge didn't move. Then it dropped down. At this point I am constantly keeping my eye on the gauge, looking for any kind malfunction.
