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.

Last year the shift cable broke. My car started to roll. Thank goodness I was in the car to stop it. I notified GM about the problem and that it was recalled in the Past on other Aura's. I was told by GM that is was not recalled under the VIN number from my car? so I had to pay out of pocket! If I had injured myself our some one else I am sure a law suit would have happen and they would have fixed it. Now my brake light stay on even after replacing the brake switch. Automotive shop says malfunction with the light and something needed to be recalibrated. I should have done my research before I bought the car. And TCS warning comes on that it needs to be service? then when you turn car off and back on it goes away and you wont see warning again for a couple days? this car SUCKS!
