I have the exact same issues with my car as everyone else has listed in the complaints about there 2007 Saturn Aura XE. Why has there been no recall for an issue with the brake lights?

Re: Love my Saturn Aura [stacey1018]
These items should be covered if you have less than 3 yrs and 36,000 miles on your odometer. I have a 2007 Aura XR and my car is not showing this type of wear as yet . Try protecting those areas with a product such as Macguires Interior Protectant for all surfaces . It may save you from further damage.

I will need you to email me your contact information to set up a case for you. ... Read More

2007 Saturn Aura check air bag issue
Our 2007 Aura has had an ongoing issue with passenger airbag. At first, "service air bag" readout appeared at 51,673 miles. We took car to dealership and they "calibrated" air bag and charged us 90.00. Since then, passenger air bag reads "off" periodically and for no apparent reason, while car is being driven. Has been calibrated at least twice and we now are told by Chevrolet dealership Saturn mechanic that a ... Read More

We had the rack and pinion gear assembly replaced today, which included a front end alignment (which would have been over a Grand), and the steering now functions like velvet. The gears were shot, which seems strange ... Read More

One year old Saturn with problems

Re: '07 Aura problems [KarenS]
BY the way, this problem is common to all 2007 and 2008 Auras. The Chevy Malibu which is manufactured at the same factory and considered to be the Saturn Aura's twin apparentl solved this problem by covering the defect area with some sort of plastic or aluminium piece that hides the separations.
-
Re: Pictures of 2007 Saturn Aura Defects [phaetondriver]
Yes, I see what you mean and you are right..........recutting the plastic rocker panels to fit the contours of the body would probably eliminate the problem. However, I think what's breaking the panels loose is the fact that the lower rubber gasket on the door is constantly striking the flimsy, plastic panel and sooner or later causes it to break loose. There goes the resale value of these cars !!
-
Re: Pictures of 2007 Saturn Aura Defects [dinof]
I looked at your pictures. Look at mine. The problem looks to me, from the illuminated from behind picture, is the body panels are miss dented, not the plastic rocker panel. So I see why they don't want to fix it, that would require some body work, pounding out the dents, repainting etc. It would also require that they correct the manufacturing cause of the dents, which could cost millions.

Re: Pictures of 2007 Saturn Aura Defects [hackd]
Thanks for your informative comments. I guess the person that drives the car onto the showroom floor drives very recklessly; because it can be seen on new 2008 cars that have not yet been on the road !!! The Saturn Area Manager that was supposed to be handling my case also attempted to infer in a letter to me that abuse of the car could be considered a cause.

Re: Pictures of 2007 Saturn Aura Defects [dinof]
That is not needed. I thought everyone would be interested that when I brought this defect concern up to the Saturn dealer they claimed it was caused by reckless driving....I found this pretty pathetic.

Re: PROBLEM in Rocker Panel of Aura [bob919344]
I suggested an even simpler fix. Cover the area where the rocker panel meets the steel body with a piece of black rubber door gasket cemented to both the panel and the body. No need to develop any thing new or even repaint and the fix would probably cost less than $5.00. You wouldn't even need a recall - affected cars could be repaired as they came in for routine service. ... Read More

Re: Pictures of 2007 Saturn Aura Defects [steelerman]
No one noticed any problem with the Cruise Control sensors on Ford vehicles either.........until they spontaneously erupted in numerous fires. Your probably right..........no one will pay any attention to these rocker panel defects until they start falling off. (After the warranty period, I'm sure !! ) Maybe my analogy is a bit strong.............but someone has to look for and report these defects..........the car company surely won't !!!

Re: 2007 Saturn Aura XR lease [bob919344]

Read my other reports such as phaetondriver, "Saturn Aura" #1250, 7 Apr 2007 12:26 pm and phaetondriver, "Saturn Aura New Owner Reports" #11, 17 Mar 2007 6:54 pm There are also ... Read More

Check the saturn web site for deals and rebates http://www.saturn.com/saturn/FindOfferController.dyn?intro=y this link should take you to the page requesting your zip code. I have a cad Sedan De Ville and just bought an Aura XR. I am relegating the Cady to short trips to the store and home depot runs, like a truck... The XR is the most comfortable, fun to drive car I have had in over 25 years. Go ... Read More

It is my understanding from talking to the good folks at Saturn of Sterling (Va) that they discount off the list prise.

300 H-P for the 3.6?
I just read, on the Cadillac web site, that the 3.6 VVT engine in the CTS will be bumped from 255 H-P (2007) to 300 H-P for 2008. What are the chances that most of that increase is in the EMC and that the Cadillac EMC would be "Plug-n-Play" with the Saturn Aura??????

Re: I suspect good things.... [jnt]
I think you need to double check your facts. The 2007 Aura does have the same wheel-base as the Malibu MAXX @ 112 in. The Malibu sedan and Pontiac G6 have a 106 in wheelbase. The Aura is 191 in long where the Malibu is 188. Next time you go to a Chevy dealer check the fit and finish of the doors, hood and trunk. I found they were, generally, misaligned. ... Read More

Re: Prospective Aura buyer... [m1miata]
Saturn seems to selling much better lately. Please note below the February sales figures from the official GM website: Saturn is up 59.4% year-to-year, and the total sales actually exceeded Buick and Cadillac, while very nearly matching Pontiac. Not bad, and this portends the beginning of trend toward better vehicles, greater sales and, eventually, better resale value. The improving sales are not due to the ION, nor the Relay, but primarily ... Read More

Saturn Aura XR 18 inch wheels chrome, suggested Navi
Before ordering my new 2007 Saturn Aura XR (love this car, will save for 2008 purchase), what is the best way to get the 18 inch standard ultrabright alloy wheels changed for 18 inch chrome wheels, as part of the order ? I think the upgrade would be worth it considering it is within my price range. Or should I just arrange with the salesman to sell me after market 18 ... Read More

Re: Saturn Aura [vanman1]
I traded a 06 TDI Jetta completely loaded with package 2 in on the Aura EX with one option, the power seats and heated mirrors. I used the refund from the extended warranty from the Jetta to go title for title. I liked driving the Jetta, but hated the maintenance and inconvenience and the manitenance cost. Also looking for diesels stations which for me were out of the way, a real ... Read More

Re: Saturn - What Exactly Does It Stand For? [1487]
You think the old Altima interior is better than the current one? Well, I was only able to judge a new 2006 Altima vs. an Auto-Show veteran 2007, which already looked rough and beaten up somewhat. The design of the 2006 wasn't bad to me, but I don't like the busy-ness of the 2007 version. I don't necessarily mean, quality, but design. Honestly, it doesnt matter. You can make whatever excuses ... Read More

Re: Saturn - What Exactly Does It Stand For? [thegraduate]
The hybrid will be the Aura's four cyliner model and will get 28/35 using 2007 ratings. There's your four cylinder. If you want a cheaper four cylinder the G6 is available and the Malibu will be this summer. BTW, the Aura hyrbid will not be much more than a COMPARABLY equipped Acccord/Camry four cylinder. We all know that those two cars start under $20k but the models most people buy with ... Read More

Re: Saturn - What Exactly Does It Stand For? [neteng101]
Nope, I would say the New Malibu 2008 and the Aura 2007 are direct competition to the Accord and Camry. Malibu and Aura will be a choice of styles, the Aura looking more like the Opel / Euro look. -Loren

Re: Aura 4cyl? [62vetteefp]
Saturn's website list mileage as 28/35 for the hybrid which would be better than every competing 4 cylinder midsize sedan. I assume that is using 2007 standards so the real mileage is likely to be 26/32 or so. I dont think Saturn really expects to be a huge volume car like the Malibu and thus the gas only four cylinder wont be offered. Having a hybrid powertrain standard in the four ... Read More

Well, the new Aura is here as well and I hope for future... [readerreader]
Have any of you guys seen it? Have any of you checked it out? Test drove an XR two weeks ago. The one I test drove had a leather trimmed interior but not the Morocco Brown version. I did sit in one with the Morocco Brown leather and thought it way over the top. Anyway my impressions of the Aura XR are: Interior is nice (except the Morocco Brown). Exteriors of ... Read More

Re: noise, again... [jeffyscott]
Why else does the accord get marked down for so much road noise. Its an old noisy engine that gets the job done. Its plusses are its exhaust note and pull. Its a sports luxury car of sorts. Think fwd bmw 3(w/ run flats and sport package). Its not as prestigious as the bmw in fact not even close. IMO the only thing they share is the commoness of it now ... Read More

Re: Consumer Guide Review of Altima [venus537]
I very recently took delivery of a Saturn XR. Prior to this decision I drove quite a few vehicles in the same class/category, including the 2007 Altima SE/3.5. The fierce low-speed torque steer that V6 Altima's suffered from has been greatly reduced to lowering the engine 1-2" and thereby reducing the axle half-shaft angles to each wheel. It is still there in tight turns to the right under acceleration, but now ... Read More

Just returned from looking at the International Auto Show
A few thoughts on some vehicles I sat in... Saturn Aura XR: Nice is the word that comes to mind. I'm not a fan of orange gauges (never have been, don't like them in the Altima either). The interior quality is certainly better than GM products of 10, or even 3 years ago. The interior styling is very "nice," tactile quality of the buttons and knobs is even good, if not ... Read More

Hybrid Aura
Oh, by the way Car and Driver (that royal pinhead Bedard) shredded the VUE Greenline in the November issue http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroadtests/11746/2007-saturn-vue-green-line.html- , which has the same powertrain, to the best of my knowledge, that the Aura Greenline will be rolling out with. Nice how he dismissed a 10% increase in mileage out of hand as though it's simply nothing. Sure it's hardly a technical tour de force but his attitude was dripping ... Read More

HUME, Va. — Saturn's Aura midsize sedan really is two cars. Drive the uplevel XR with its high-performance V-6 and sporty suspension and you wonder where, sweet car, have you been all this time? But get behind the wheel of the base XE and the impression is less impressive: Nice car. Could use some tweaking. Pretty darn good, though. If the 2007 Aura were typical of Detroit-mobiles the past decade, Toyota, ... Read More
