NHTSA Complaint #10538662 — 2007 SATURN AURA

THE STEERING ON THE CAR IS VERY TIGHT, MEANING IT DOES NOT TURN SMOOTHLY. I FEEL EVERY AND ANY SORT OF BUMP THE CAR GOES OVER. WHEN TURNING IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS SCRUBBING THE PAYMENT, NOT A THOROUGH MOVEMENT. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING LOOSE OR SOUNDS AS IF SOMETHING IN THE INTERIOR OR UNDER THE HOOD IS RATTLING OR IS MAY COME APART. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM IS SAYING THAT THE SWAY BAR AND END LINKS NEED TO BE REPLACED OR TIGHTENED. ALSO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT POPPED ON SAYING IT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED.... I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THIS ALERT ON MY DISPLAY!!THEY EXPLAINED TO ME IT HAPPENS OVER TIME, HOWEVER FROM READING OTHER SATURN CAR OWNER'S REVIEWS THIS IS A RECURRING COMPLAINT AMONGST MANY OTHERS. IT IS OR WAS THE TOP LUXURY SEDAN WHEN IT CAME OUT AND IT WOULD APPEAR THE SUSPENSION WOULD BE A LOT SMOOTHER ON A SEDAN. UNHAPPY WITH RESULTS AND I FEEL THE HISTORY OF CAR WAS NOT REVEALED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE REPAIR BILL ESTIMATE IS AROUND 500.00 AND THAT IS A LOT OF EXPENSE....THERE IS ANOTHER REVIEW REFERENCING TO THE STRUTS OR TYPE OF STRUT TO USE SHOULD BE THE ONE MADE BY CHEVY. FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED IN MEMPHIS,TN!! *JB
