2009 SATURN AURA Steering Problems

UPON MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY STREET MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I ALMOST HIT THE CURB. THIS INCIDENT HURT MY WRIST AND BACK STRUGGLING WITH THE STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE ESC & POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON. AT THIS POINT THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING UP AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES RECALLED EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. GM OBVIOUSLY HAS MORE DEFECTIVE PARTS INSTALLED ON ADDITIONAL VIN'S. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DEPENDING ON WHEN IT OCCURS. THE PROBLEM RESETS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, BUT IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE.

MY POWER STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD COMES ON. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN EXITING IT WAS HARD TO TURN AND THE 3RD TIME WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO BUT I DID STOP AT AN AUTO ZONE AND HAVE THE CODE READ. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN.

INTERMITTENTLY ESC POWER STEERING WILL POP UP IN DISPLAY, POWER STEERING WILL QUIT WORKING AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, DEALER STATES NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM

VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING, THEN ESC POWER STEERING OFF APPEAR ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER ON DASH.

WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING AND THE ESC FAILED, WHEN YOU START THE CAR THE WARNINGS FLASH THAT THAT ARE OFF, ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT THEY TURN ON THEY TURN OFF WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING, THE CAR LOSES ALL STEERING ASSISTANCE. WHEN THEY CONTROLS ARE ACTIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. FOR SOME REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT SHOWING UP AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES RECALLED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT INSTALLED IN IT. THE WHOLE DESIGN OF AN ELECTRONIC MOTOR INSTEAD OF A HYDRAULIC PUMP WITH FLUID SEEMS LIKE AN INEFFECTIVE DESIGN NO WONDER IT IS FAILING AND IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT IN THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES THAT IS LISTED BY ITS VIN NUMBER

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKED UP IT WAS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM WORK TODAY I GOT THIS MESSAGE // POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC// MESSAGE AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE WHILE TRYING TO TURN.THE STEERING BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AFTERWARDS. AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND THINGS WENT BACK TO NORMAL.

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT QUITE A FEW TIMES, RESTARTING THE CAR TURNS THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. WHILE DRIVING ANY ROAD, INCLUDING 70MPH HIGHWAYS, THE CAR WILL JOLT AND THE SERVICE ESC ALERT WILL GO OFF. IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE.

TALARA RECALL ' I TURNED MY CAR ON AND IT KEPT KILLING FORWARD IT SAID POWER STEERING STABILITY ESC ,ESC OFF, AND THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED IT KEPT ACCELERATING BY IT SELF I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I BOAUGHT A NEW ONE BUT NOT EVEN WHEN THEY SWITCHED IT OUT WOULD IT STOP DOING THAT IT KEPT JULTING

WHILE DRIVING (TWICE) ON A CITY STREET SUDDENLY THE SERVICE ESC, POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION LIGHT COMES ON AND I DO NOT HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I AM ABLE TO TURN WITH DIFFICULTY TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON, LIGHTS GO OFF AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS RESTORED.

WHEN I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE I LOSE CONTROL OF MY POWER STEERING AND THE SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A GAS STATION I TURNED THE CAR OFF TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING JUST FINE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE POWERING STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE STEERING WHEEL WORKED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES.

THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR BOTH OF THE FAILURES; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V153000 (STEERING) AND 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) DUE TO THE EXTENDED MILEAGE.

THIS MORNING LEAVING WORK AFTER COMING TO A STOP, WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC HALFWAY THROUGH THE TURN THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HIT AN VEHICLE TURNING LEFT ONTO THE SAME STREET I WAS EXITING. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH FOR NOT NEARLY FIVE SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM WHAT THE CONTACT WOULD TURN.

KEEP LOSING EPS - ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WILL LOSE THE POWER STEERING PART, AND HAVE TO MAN-HANDLE THE WHEEL TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT, OF WHICH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT, DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION. NOW THAT I TAKE IT IN TO BE FIXED, AM TOLD THAT THERE IS A LIMIT OF 150,000 MILES ON THIS RECALL, I AM AT 195,000. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT, AND RECEIVED OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION, WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN EARLIER. THE EPS ERROR CAN HAPPEN ON VEHICLE START UP, OR WHILE DRIVING THE CAR.

EPS POWER STEERING FAILURE

I HAVE MY DAUGHTER MY 2009 SATURN AURA FOR HER 16TH BIRTHDAY. SHE BEGAN DRIVING ON NOV. 24TH AFTER COMPLETING DRIVER'S EDUCATION COURSE. SHE AND HER BROTHER WERE DRIVING TO SCHOOL TODAY AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT SCHOOL SOME BOYS CAME OVER AND HELPED HER. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL, HAS AN UPCOMING SURGERY, AND NOW HER CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I SEARCHED MY VIN TO FIND A RECALL I WAS NOT AWARE OF FOR THE BACK BREAK LIGHT. THIS IS GETTING FIXED THIS WEEK! THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR'S ELECTRICAL STEERING SYSTEM RECALL: 14V153000 RECALL DATE 03/31/2014 COMPONENT STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM RECALL: 14E044000 7/21/2014 COMPONENT: STEERING MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS OR MANY OTHERS IT SHOULD BE! I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN WITH NO CHILD SUPPORT AND...

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY JOB, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED SLIDEING A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THEN IN MY DASH IT KEPT BLINKING POWER STERRING ESC, ITS DONE IT 3 TIMES NOW..IVE TAKEN IT TO GM MOTOR AND PEP BOYS AND BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM THEY WONT FIX IT.

I BOUGHT MY 2009 SATURN AURA IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. JUST RECENTLY IN DECEMBER OF 2016, WHENEVER I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BEGIN TO VIBRATE FOLLOWED BY THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING GOES COMPLETELY OUT AT ANYTIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY DASH WARNING SIGNALS POWER STEERING FAILURE AND THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY CEASED WORKING. I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME THERE IS A SPECIAL EXTENSION OF WARRANTY BUT GM WILL NOT REPAIR OVER 150,000 IT SHOULD BE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS GM WANTS $1000 TO FIX "STEERING TORQUE INPUT SENSOR CO545"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ESC SERVICE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD ERRONEOUSLY DEACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY BEGAN TO JERK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND THE POWER STEERING HAD ALSO MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

I HAVE A 2009 SATURN AURA XR, I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 40-45MPH THEN THE LIGHT CAN ON SAYING "ESC TRACTION" "ENGINE POWER REDUCE" THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND THE BRAKES FELT REALLY TIGHT. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULDN'T GO NO FASTER THAN 30MPH. I EXITED THE FREEWAY PARKED THE CAR TURNED IF OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE SAME PROBLEM "ESC TRACTION" "ENGINE POWER REDUCE" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE CAR WAS ON PARKED POSITION AND THE CAR STARTED TO JOLT FORWARD. I HAD TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 1-2 HOURS BEFORE THE CAR WAS BACK TO ITSELF BUT THIS TIME IT FELT DIFFERENT DRIVING IT. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING TOO QUICKLY AND I WASN'T GOING NO MORE THAN 15MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST...

MY HOPE IS THAT GM WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO SUBSIDIZE ME FOR SOME, IF NOT ALL, OF THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE - ESTIMATED BY FELDMAN CHEVROLET @ $1,350.00. PRIOR TO SETTING UP THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH FELDMAN CHEVROLET, I WAS INFORMED BY A GM REPRESENTATIVE (NAMED CASEY) THAT IF MY VEHICLE ISSUES, AFTER BEING FORMERLY DIAGNOSED BY GM DEALER, WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE PROBLEMS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, MY VEHICLE MIGHT VERY WELL BE COVERED. I'M STILL AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM CASEY AFTER HAVING CALLED LAST WEEK. MY POWER STEERING PROBLEMS BEGAN IN APRIL 2015 WHEN I HAD APPROXIMATELY 135,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME THE POWER STEERING WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT I COULD ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM BY SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING. THIS PROBLEM WOULD RE-OCCUR ABOUT ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH OVER THE NEXT...

2009 SATURN AURA. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. WARNING MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD INDICATED LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SEIZE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

MY CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT DESPITE HAVING IT ALIGNED 3 TIMES AT 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS. THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED COMPLETELY 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 3000 MILES. FAILURE WAS NOTED AS POWER STEERING WHINE FOLLOWED BY A BLOWN HOSE OR SEAL AND LOSS OF ALL FLUID AND POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE. THERE IS A RECALL #14116 FOR MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WHICH MATCHES THE SYMPTOMS OF MY PROBLEMS BUT WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER I WAS INFORMED MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

MY STEERING IS SUPER TIGHT. I CAN'T TURN MY WHEEL VERY EASILY. I HAVE TO USE 2 FULL HANDS TO MAKE TURNS AND I BELIEVE MY POWER STEERING IS EFFECTED. IT SEEMS VERY UNSAFE TO ME AND MAKES ME NERVOUS LIKE IT MAY LOCK UP. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS OF THIS CAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET MY CAR IS NOT FALLING UNDER THE RECALL.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST YEAR I LOST USE OF MY STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I DID NOT REPORT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A WARNING LIGHT. TODAY, SEPT. 3,2015 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT OF THE SCHOOL (MAY 2 TO 5 MPH) WHEN I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL EITHER WAY, IT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER A COPY OF MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. IT WAS VERY SCARY KNOWING I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. I NOTICED OLDER VEHICLES HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAD A RECALL. I BELIEVE THE 2009 AURA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAME RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING.

LOOSES POWER STEERING ON AND OFF. NEVER KNOW WHEN THERE COULD BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART. VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. VERY DANGEROUS. GOING TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN HOWELL. HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER AURAS ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT NOT THIS PARTICULAR VIN. VEHICLE CAME FROM CANADA.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT INTERMITTENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. NOT DEPENDENT ON WEATHER CONDITIONS - I.E. HAS OCCURRED DURING COLD AND WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND STILL HAVE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM NOW IN WARM WEATHER. STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT, AS POWER STEERING CUTS OUT, AND REQUIRES GREATER EFFORT TO CONTROL VEHICLE UNDER MANUAL STEERING CONDITION, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT IS DISPLAYED ON DASH ONCE POWER STEERING IS LOST. CHECKED WITH DEALER AND GM SITE, NO RECALL LISTED AT THIS TIME, BUT SHOULD BE.

DRIVING HOME AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER AND IT WORKED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. GM HAS RECALLED THIS MODE/YEAR CAR FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT MY CARS VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THEIR LIST. WHY CAN'T THEY REPAIR ALL OF THE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM, RATHER THAN JUST A SELECT FEW. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH MESSAGE. I CONTACTED GM SINCE THIS MODEL IS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE THE ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO REPAIRS AVAILABLE FOR IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON MY OWN AND I AM SCARED OF THE CAR NOW. PLEASE HELP! *TR

AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO GO LEFT, MY POWER STEERING WENT OFF. "ESC" CAME UP IN THE MESSAGE WINDOW, THEN "POWER STEERING" SHOWED UP. I COULD HARDLY TURN THE WHEEL. I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY, THEN DROVE HOME (WHICH WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY). THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHOLE TIME. I PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THEN WANTED TO CHECK THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER. I PULLED OUT AGAIN THEN WAS ABLE TO STEER WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NOTIFICATIONS WERE GONE. I RENTED A CAR FOR SAFETY. WHEN I CALLED A DEALER TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL I SAW ONLINE FOR GM AND SATURN, THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME IT DIDN'T AFFECT MY VEHICLE, PER THE VIN. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT, COINCIDENTALLY, THE RECALLED ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE BUT I CAN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED PER THE GM RECALL. *TR
