I started hearing a squealing noise when I turned my steering wheel. At times, there was also a popping sound. I took it to GM dealer on 11-1-11 and was told the steering gear was bad and leaking power steering fluid. It would need to be replaced for $988. Warranty ran out in may of 2011.

Saturn Aura 2008 xe 4cyl. Front end clunk felt in steering wheel and feet at low speed, especially when doing slight turns with braking. Repair shop said struts were no good (at 17,500 miles). Replaced struts at over $700. Clunking continued. Repair shop now says rubber bushings in power steering rack are no good. Replacement bushing are not available anywhere as far as we can tell - even checked on Malibu and Pontiac G? - no luck. Car is out of warranty. Repair shop was told that entire steering rack had to be replaced (hundreds of dollars) because there is no source to get $3 bushings. Repair shop said safe to drive, so car was not repaired and clunking will not get fixed. Shoulda bought a Japanese car.

2008 Saturn Aura 4 cyl has power steering problems. Light comes on and off and then the steering locked up while I was driving at about 45 mph. Turned off engine and restarted and steering was back. Having this problem for about 6 months. Saturn said needs new motor for about $300. Ridiculous!!

I am having trouble with my steering. I hear a clunking sound and loose pop feeling in my steering shaft especially on stop and go on upgrades and turning hard sharp turns.. they lubed the intermediary steering shaft but its back again after 5000 miles. I feel the car is unsafe to drive at highway speeds.
