I pulled into a driveway and when I came out the power steering wasn't working at all. I had no warning about this, it just happened. Now it is happening every day and several times a day. The steering wheel shakes while I'm idling and shakes and pulls when driving. I had no problem or any kind of warning that this was going to happen. I am 58 yrs old and my mother is 85 yrs old and we share the car. I can barely steer it when it goes out, there is no way my mom could turn the wheel.. it first happened when I was parked, when I came out and started the car it was not working at all. The next several times it has gone out it's usually while driving and after having to make some tight turns or U-turns. Today it went completely out while I was driving slowly on the interstate.

Car reads service ECM, reduced engine power, service traction. Throttle body has been replaced, but the previous issues occurred. Car seems to want to stall.upon reducing speed to slow down. Then when I try to accelerate, I cant accelerate when engine is still on. Car will idle up and down and reduce power. If car is in park for a few minutes, error messages stated above will also appear. Car reduced engine power on highway while at 60mph, hard to steer. Car will hesitate when slowing down to make turns at reduced speed.

When I bought the car last year the dealership said they installed brand new brakes but they where still squeaking so I just thought it was because of the new brakes but a month later my brakes and rotors and calipers were completely gone it costed me $1200 to replace them but then 2 months later again it started doing the same thing my brakes wore down completely so I asked my uncle to look at them and change them for me so he did and now my brakes are doing the same thing they grind very loud and squeak and I didn't buy no cheap brakes either they where top performance brakes another problem I had what's my control module in my transmission went out as I was driving on the high way my speedometer wasn't working and my car moved slowly and made a loud noise so I replaced it and it's working for now then my doors won't unlock I'll hit the unlock button in the car and the key chain but my back door on the drivers side does not unlock and my driver door does the same occasionally I have to pull the lock to unlock it and I've had my tires balance rotated and all that more than once but for some reason my front tires wear down fast I've went through 2 sets of front tires but my back tires are still good

My transmission went out suddenly on the tex-express toll road in dallas, going 75 mph (the posted speed limit) on a narrow 2 lane overpass in the dark hours of the morning. There were previously no mechanical problems then suddenly I was going about 45 miles an hour. I managed to get off the overpass without an accident but my car would not shift to higher gears and upon parking it I discovered it wouldn't go in reverse either. My mechanic said that the wave plate broke and tore out the rest of the transmission. Other GM cars from my year had their wave plates part of a voluntary recall, however my VIN is not listed as an affected unit. I'm concerned the problem may be more wide spread than originally reported.

While driving, the car suddenly reduced speed, engine light comes on stating to service traction. Had the car repaired. It happened twice since, each time a day after picking up the car from the dealership. The last time, Wednesday, October 28th, I was making a left turn, the car suddenly reduced speed, lights on. This is very dangerous. Contacted GM, no help at all!

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.

There are 4 recalls out for my car, and I have never received any letters to get the work done. The summer of 2013 the car stalled on me and I had to get it towed and pay to replace a wiring harness. I'm not sure if this was due to a part that was recalled or not. If it is, I would like to know if I can get refunded for it. Also, right before winter 2013 my remote starter quit working; the engine light is on; I'm getting a false warning light for the tire pressure; I have heard a bing noise like the door was open because I was using the turn signal when driving; my left front door speaker comes on whenever it feels like it; the lights have blink on and off and my car almost wouldn't start. I think all of this might be an electrical problem. Please contact me and/or send me a letter about getting recalled parts replaced on my car. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Aura. The contact stated that the gear shifter is covered in chrome. The sun reflects on it and blinds the driver. The dealer stated that they will not do anything to correct this issue. The failure and current mileages were 3,027.
