#2007 saturn aura gas tank drivers
Fuel pump problem not found even when they were told about strong fuel smell coming from rear, drivers side after car sits for awhile. Also told to use premium gas at another gas company. I was told it was "bad" gasoline and was charged about $86 (not including towing charge). Note: This was 2nd time car was taken to same dealer with same problem. Fuel pump replaced at another garage due to cost at dealer. Tech removed connector from throttle body, cleaned it, added di-electric grease and re-connected it. Dealer found leaking fuel pump and throttle body cable connector loose/dirty. Dashboard console displayed reduced engine power and service traction.

As I was leaving mall parking lot doing 15-20mph, car suddenly loss engine power and began to shake / shutter. A defect investigation into the issue was opened in 2011, eventually leading to a recall of 56,000 vehicles in 2014.Īt the mall, car sputtered 5-10 times before finally starting. That’s because the shifter could say “Park” while the transmission was still in drive, reverse or neutral. Meanwhile, a busted gear shifter cable lead to some unwanted rollaways. 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. 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.īrake problems, including uneven wear and warped rotors that cause the car to wobble, are common complaints from 2007 owners. Notes: The Saturn Aura was a mid-size car meant to replace the somewhat problematic L-Series.
