2009 Saturn Aura Visibility Problems

TAKATA RECALL INFLATORS AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS UP ON MY DASH SCREEN WHILE DRIVING NEVER GOES AWAY WHILE THE CAR IN MOTION EVEN WHEN ON IN PARK GEAR. AS SOON AS THE KEY IS INSERTED TO START THE VEHICLE THE READING SHOWS UP AS LONG AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS POSES A RISK BUT I AM CONCERN AS TOO IF THE AIR BAG MIGHT POP OUT WHILE DRIVING. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. I AM TAKING THIS AS A WARNING THAT IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR TANK HAS A BLOCKAGE. FLUID DOES NOT COME UP HIGH ENOUGH TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAY OR NOT BE UNDER A RECALL. CONCERN ABOUT DRIVING . DO NOT WANT THE AIR BAG TO POP OUT.

MY CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE MOONROOF HAS LEAKED AND I HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN THOUGH GM SAYS THEY AREN'T TO BLAME. THE LEAKS IN THE MOONROOF ARE ONLY WHAT I CAN START TO ATTRIBUTE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TO. I RANDOMLY LOOSE RADIO CONTROLS, HAVE BUTTONS THAT DON'T WORK, CANT USE MY KEY FOBS AFTER REPLACING THEM AND REPLACING BATTERIES ONLY THE "PANIC" BUTTON WILL WORK. WHAT TAKES THE CAKE IS THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT THAT CAME ON YESTERDAY AND THE SERVICE ECM LIGHT, NEARLY KILLING US ON THE HIGHWAY. I GET REDUCE ENGINE POWER BUT WITH NO WARNING TO GO FROM 68 TO 35 IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE IS ASKING FOR DEATH. ON TOP OF IT THE MORE I'VE GOOGLED THE ISSUES IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM GM IS WELL AWARE OF AND NEVER HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT FROM 2007-2009 AURAS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AT THE GM DEALERSHIP TRYING TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS T =O BE GIVEN NO REAL ANSWERS. I AM SCARED NOW TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN AS THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND IT "SEEMS" TO BE FINE. I AM EVEN MORE SCARED TO BRING IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE IF THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT, ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I'VE READ EVEN WITH LIGHTS ON DIAGNOSES' ARE POOR AND NOT ACCURATE. ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE DESCRIBING THE SAME EXACT THINGS GOING ON WITH THEIR VEHICLES HOW IS THERE NO DEFINITIVE FIX AND WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING SENT BACK OUT ON THE ROADS WITH FAULTY CARS. NOT ONLY THAT IF 3 YEARS WORTH OF CARS ARE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALL THE SAME HOW IS THERE NO RECALL???? *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE POURING RAIN ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 16, 2010, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WIPER SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, QUIT WORKING. AS A RESULT, I LOST TOTAL VISIBILITY RESULTING IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND THE DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY WITS ABOUT ME, TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER ARM WHERE IT BOLTS TO THE WIPER MOTOR SHAFT. THE GROVES IN THE WIPER ARM HOLE WHERE THE SHAFT FROM THE WIPER MOTOR MOUNTS WERE COMPLETELY STRIPPED OUT. BUICK ENCLAVE, GMC ACADIA AND SATURN OUTLOOK HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED - IN THE SALT BELT STATES.
