I HAVE OWNED THIS 2007 SATURN AURA SINCE 2017 AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER THERE IS A FRONT PASSENGER OR NOT, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I'M USING THE CAR THAT DAY AND THEN OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT COME ON FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AND ON RARE OCCASIONS THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN OFF THAT ENTIRE DAY. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR AT WHAT SPEED THIS OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY RANDOM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THAT CURRENTLY HAS 109,00 MILES ON IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.

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.

PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, 20,000 MILES. FAILED AGAIN AT APPROX 45-50 THOUSAND MILES. AIR BAGS ARE TURNED OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NEW FIX INCLUDED NEW WIRING AND SENSORS- PLUS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. GM OBVIOUSLY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM- THEY CHANGED HE WIRING ETC. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILING. THE SECOND FIX SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL- WITH THE PRICE PICKED UP BY GM. THIS FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND GENERALLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THIS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SUMMARY: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN 2004-2012 MALIBU, 2004-2007 MALIBU MAXX, 2005-2010 PONTIAC G6, 2007-2010 SATURN AURA VEHICLES. ON THESE VEHICLES, OVER TIME AN INCREASED RESISTANCE CAN DEVELOP IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION SYSTEM AND RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS OR INTERMITTENCY IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE SERVICE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. AS A RESULT, THE SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS MAY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED, OR MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. ADDITIONALLY, CRUISE CONTROL MAY NOT ENGAGE. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, ADDITIONAL SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO DISENGAGE IT. SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION MAY NOT BE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK, OR ADDITIONAL SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK. TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND PANIC BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES, IF EQUIPPED, MAY BE DISABLED. SERVICE ESC AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL TELL-TALES MAY ILLUMINATE WITH THIS CONDITION. SAFETY RISK: THESE CONDITIONS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS ARE TO ATTACH THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE BCM WITH A SPACER, APPLY DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT TO BOTH THE BCM AND HARNESS CONNECTOR AND ON THE BAS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR, AND RELEARN THE BRAKE PEDAL HOME POSITION FREE OF CHARGE.

TAKATA RECALL: DURING WORK HOURS, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OUT IN THE HOT GEORGIA SUMMER SUN ALL DAY I GET A SERVICE AIR BAG ALERT WHEN I START IT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PARK IT UNDER THE TREES WHEN POSSIBLE DURING THE HOTTEST DAYS AND THIS KEEPS THE ALERT FROM HAPPENING FOR THE MOST PART. SOMETIMES THOUGH, THIS SERVICE AIR BAG ALERT COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR AWHILE AS WELL. HOWEVER, I AM NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. WHILE AT THE MECHANICS, THE ALERT WOULD NOT COME UP AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT DOES.

I CARRIED MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AFTER GETTING A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER MODULE AND SENSOR. THE COST QUOTE WAS OVER $1200.00. IT IS BEING REPAIRED AS I WRITE. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS, SINCE MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 54,000 MILES, AND BASED ON THE ENORMOUS COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SITUATION.
