| 08 Aura 3.5. Three times my right rear floorboard was flooded with water. It starts from the center underneath the front seat to the back. Looked around for leaks from sunroof and doors but couldn't figure it out. Dealer says it's the evaporator (they had another Aura with the same problem). They have had it in the shop for 2 weeks. I went to check on it and couldn't believe what I saw. The entire interior was gutted...no dash, no steering column, no carpet, no seats. They had to do all that to replace the evaporator and I don't know what else. I told them I hope they can put it back together and not have a single squeak or rattle. Other than this, I LOVE my car. 26-27 in town mileage (San Antonio), and up to 35 mpg on a road trip. Has anyone else had this evaporator leak problem? BTW, while mine is in the shop, they have another Aura sitting next to it with the same problem. | |

Replying to: bwolter (Aug 28, 2008 9:41 pm) under door rocker panels. A problen that Saturn refuses to acknowledge . Check to see if your Rocker panel are attached properly with no large gaps near the B pillar, which allows water to enter when driving in heavy rain or after going through a car wash !! ( of course you may have the other problem also.)

Replying to: bwolter (Aug 28, 2008 9:41 pm) The only way to fix it is as you have seen. Every other post I have read says they gutted the interior and pulled the dash. Sorry. Those of us that live in the desert could have the same evap/drain problem and never know it,

Replying to: phaetondriver (Nov 02, 2008 10:56 am) and so far have not had this problem. Could it be something related to the model year 08; my car is an XR 2007 ?? Only problem I have encountered in nearly 2 years of ownership is the rocker panel separation problems.

I just bought a used 2007 AURA XR-love the car! Just one small issue: the little plactic cap on the center console came off (the catch)-so I glued it back on. Does anyboy know how to set the lights so that the dome lights (I have a sunroof) come on whe you hit the unlock key? That is the only problem I have!

Has anyone experienced the horribe nasty smell coming from your air vent when air conditioner is on? Also, whats the deal with the noice from the brakes. Does the warranty cover brakes or is this considered required maintenance like an oil change. I have a 2007 aura.
