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 was warned about the "craptastic" cheapness of GM interiors before I bought the car. Since new I’ve had carpet pieces that needed to be re-glued, the rubber grip material used on the door arm/handle is bubbling, the fabric on the pillar near the windshield is puckering, cup holder door closes only when it wants to, and for God’s sake, whatever you do, DO NOT accidently press on the Saturn logo name plate on the center of the steering wheel! It is made of pop can metal! My Saturn Aura is only 4 years old and I can only imagine what the interior will look like in another 6 years…if I keep it that long.
