NHTSA Complaint #10557379 — 2007 SATURN AURA

MY 2007 SATURN AURA HYBRID CONSTANTLY HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. VARIOUS COMPONENTS GO OFF AND ON AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM OCCASIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, I'LL GET HALFWAY TO WORK AND THE "CHECK AIR BAG" LIGHT WILL GO ON; WHEN I GET BACK IN MY CAR AFTER WORK, THE SAME LIGHT WILL BE OFF AND WON'T GO BACK ON. IN ANOTHER EXAMPLE, I MIGHT BE DRIVING TO THE STORE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL STOP WORKING, BUT WILL START AGAIN A FEW MILES LATER. SOMETIMES THE RADIO WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. YESTERDAY, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT ON FOR A MILE. EVERY SYSTEM IN THE CAR HAS HAD ITS WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT SINCE THEY DON'T STAY ON, I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL BE SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING MY CAR OR NOT. I JUST READ SOME MESSAGE BOARDS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. SINCE IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (I HAD TROUBLE STEERING WHILE MY POWER STEERING WAS OUT), POSSIBLY WITH THE COMPUTER, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD FIX THESE ISSUES. *TR
