2007 SATURN AURA Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Several Issues

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND A LEAK AROUND THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER (ALAMO CITY CHEVROLET, 9400 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216, (210) 265-6130) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

SINCE NEW, WE HAVE HAD PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUES, IE: NOT SENSING AN ADULT PASSENGER. BRAKES HAVE BEEN OPERATING POORLY, WITH REAR PADS WEARING OUT, AND FRONT NOT. FOUR NEW MASTER CYLINDERS, PADS & ROTORS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. NOW MID 2018, STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM UNDER REAR OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER SATURNS, HAVE A FUEL LEAK RELATING TO THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES. I SUSPECT THE SAME FOR OUR CAR. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FULL THE TANK IS, AND OF COURSE IT IS PARKED. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. WE LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE IT IS HOT. WE NOW HAVE ABOUT 130,000MILES ON THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO INDICATE THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE NEEDED FUEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK ICON DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER.

TAKATA RECALLS. THE SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION OFF INDICATOR LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON. EVEN THE SPEED ODOMETER ACTED UP. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE,IT MADE A SOUND WHEN I DID BACKED BACK. NOW, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR, I HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDDLE AS I'M TURNING THE KEY TO START IT UP. THE RIGHT FRONT AND SIDE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T DON'T DON'T WORK

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHEN PARKING AFTER A DRIVE OF ANY LENGTH, STRONG GASOLINE ODOR FROM TANK AREA. AFTER RESEARCH, FOUND IT IS A COMMON FUEL PUMP PROBLEM THAT WAS IN FACT RECALLED ON THE SATURN ION OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL. TO DATE NO RECALLS OR TSB'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED.

GAS LEAKING FOR ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. SEEMS AS IF THE CONNECTOR HAD SEALANT PLACE AS A FIX INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE PART. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FEBUARY 2016 WITH 49K MILES.

THE CAR CONSTANTLY JERKS AND SHAKES... IT WONT GO PAST PAST 40 MPH WITHOUT ...THE VEHICLE SHAKING . THE VEHICLE CANT GET ENOUGH POWER..BURNS GAS LIKE CRAZY. THE GM DEALERSHIP WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ....

FUEL SMELL, TOOK TO SATURN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, REPLACED FUEL PUMP AT A COST OF $1272.13. AFTERWARD, I FOUND ONLINE REPORTS OF POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP DEFECT FOR 2007 SATURN AURA BUT COULDN'T FIND INFORMATION TO VERIFY IF THE CAR QUALIFIES FOR ANY REPAIR OR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT CRACKED AT THE FUEL LINE PORT AND CAUSED GASOLINE TO LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. VERY SIMILAR TO AN OPEN RECALL ON 2007 SATURN IONS, BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL AGAINST THE AURA FUEL SYSTEM... *TR

I HAD MY 2007 AURA FOR 1 WEEK WHEN DRIVING A FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST 4TH GEAR. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND STRANGE PARTICLES IN THE GEARS. HE DESCRIBED IT AS SMALL WHITE PLASTIC PIECES. NO EXPLANATION WHERE THEY CAME FROM OR WHAT THEY WERE. HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE AURA, WHILE NOT LEAVING ME STRANDED HAS ALWAYS HAS A "POLTERGEIST", LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF AND NO REPAIRS NEEDED, ETC. I HAS ALWAYS IDLED STRANGELY, AS IF IT MIGHT SHUT OFF AT A STOP AND FELT AS IF MY RPM'S INCREASED BUT NO SPEED DURING ACCELERATION. NOW, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH FEELS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE (VERY HARD JERKING DURING SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING),THE CAR WON'T START AFTER FUELING. IT HAS NOT BEEN A VEHICLE OF TRUST. *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE EMANATING FROM MY VEHICLE. I INITIALLY CHECKED THE FUNCTION AND FIT OF GAS CAP. I REMOVED TO ENGINE COVER AND STARTED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT FUEL LINES IN THE ENGINE BAY AREA AS WELL AS THE AREA OF AND THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM ITSELF TO THE MANIFOLD. ALL THE ABOVE INSPECTIONS PRODUCED NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKAGE. I LIFTED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM FROM THE FIREWALL AREA TO THE FUEL TANK. AGAIN, NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. AT THE FUEL TANK THE SMELL WAS MORE INTENSE BUT STILL NOTHING OBVIOUS. DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE FUEL TANK, INSPECTION OF THE TOP HALF WAS NOT POSSIBLE WITH MY TOOL AVAILABILITY. YET THE INTENSITY OF THE SMELL IN THE FUEL TANK AREA GAVE A STRONG INDICATION OF A LEAK AT THE TANK. UPON A SEARCH ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, I...

SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN EXTENDED CRANK WHERE IT TOOK MY CAR A FEW SECONDS LONGER TO START UP. BY DECEMBER THIS WAS STILL HAPPENING BUT NOW I WAS STARTING TO SMELL GASOLINE IN AND AROUND MY VEHICLE. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS A MECHANIC FOR SATURN FOR 17 YEARS AND NOW WORKS FOR ANOTHER DEALER. HE CHECKED THE CAR AND DETERMINED THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL LINE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THIS ISSUE MATCHES A RECALL ISSUE FOR THE 2007 SATURN ION. I CONTACTED GM AT 800-521-7300 TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THE AURA FOR THIS ISSUE THAT IS IDENTICAL TO THE ION RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND POSES THE SAME RISK FOR FIRE. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,...
