#51 of 107 service soon traction control by tasteag

2007 Saturn Aura Green Line. Today driving home from work I was getting onto the interstate from the onramp when my car all of a sudden lost power and flashed service soon traction control. As my car lost power very quickly I was almost rear ended by a semi thank god I looked up in time to swerve to the edge. As this is my only car and seeing that this issue seems to be occuring to alot of people there should be a recall placed on this vehicle before someone gets killed from this, obviously flawed feature of the car. Who makes a car that looses power that fast. Have there been many deaths reported from this issue, because I thought for sure I was gonna be one today. If there are non reported someone should look into how many saturn aura have been rear ended in the cause of death. I am assuming there will be quite a few.

#53 of 107 Electrical Issues?/Actuator Problem in '08 Saturn Aura by cc12180

Mar 05, 2012 (2:45 pm)

1st Incident (2/4)- Vehicle was placed in park. Driver's side door would not open. Door unlocked as it should but door remained shut. Had to exit vehicle out of passenger door. Tried opening door from outside, remained shut. Left vehicle for 20 minutes, returned and tried opening again would not open with remote. A few hours later, door opened like nothing happened.
2nd Incident (2/17)- Same as before. Turned on and off car again still could not open door. Exited out of passenger door. Came back to car after 2 hours and door would not open. Arrived home 20 mins later, it opened. Tried closing door and it would not close. After 4 tries, it finally shut and was able to lock car. Since then I hear air coming in the car while driving but have checked the windows and they were all up. Also noticed static in radio while driving. It would stop and start again really quickly. A lot of static when playing mp3.
3rd Incident (2/19)- Same occurance as before. Driver side door would not open; started working again after a few hours. Door would not lock until after a few tries. Continued static in radio even after door issue.
4th & 5th Incident (3/4 & 3/5) - Same occurance. Driver side door would not work all day.
6th Incident (3/5) - Door would not open this morning. 30 mins later it opened. 5 hours later after taking it to Firestone to check out problem, door would not open. (locked technician inside the car). Technician referred me to GM dealership for further diagnostics. He suggested it might be an electrical issue. This is really frustrating. Dropping vehicle off tonight to be seen on 3/6.
 
Has anyone else been having these type of problems and how was it solved? My mileage is just over 51K (vin# 8F131470).
 
Thanks,

I have a 2009 Saturn Aura with the same problem. I almost had a wreck turning on a busy intersection. I have had it in the GM shop 5 times and they can not fix it. The first two times they were able to duplicate the problem but were not able to repair it correctly. The next two times they could not duplicate the problem and told me I must drive it until I get and error message. Then I got the Service ESC and traction message. I took it back to the dealer and the still said they could not find the problem. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix this problem? I have a car I cannot drive and GM seems to not know what to do.

I just took mine back for the 3rd time in less than a year a couple of weeks ago, so far so good...this time they said that there was some wires that were rubbing each other that was causing my car to act up the way that has been just like everyone else....let's keep fingers crossed this is the issue and is fixed, because if it happens again, I am getting a new vehicle!
