ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009.

THIS HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL AND HAS BEEN IN FOR THE RECALL TWICE BUT STILL HAVING ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION CAN BE MOVED FROM PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LIGHTS WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING.
I HAVE OWNED THIS 2007 SATURN AURA SINCE 2017 AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER THERE IS A FRONT PASSENGER OR NOT, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I'M USING THE CAR THAT DAY AND THEN OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT COME ON FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AND ON RARE OCCASIONS THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN OFF THAT ENTIRE DAY. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR AT WHAT SPEED THIS OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY RANDOM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THAT CURRENTLY HAS 109,00 MILES ON IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.
THIS CAR HAS ONLY 79501 MILES. WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE ( CLONK !!!!! ) ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING IT AND USE MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP I FEEL VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
THE SATURN AURA HAS REPEATEDLY HAD DOOR LOCK SWITCHES GO OUT, EACH TIME THE FRONT HEAD LIGHT IS REPLACED, IT BLOWS OUT AGAIN, THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR DIM RANDOMLY. THE TRACTION CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS ARE DISABLED ON THE CAR CONSTANTLY DESPITE REPLACING THE ECM, UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE GASKETS, COOLANT FLUSHING, AND OTHER CLEARED CODES. THE CAR JERKS AND JOLTS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, PARKING, STARTING, AND CHANGING GEARS. IT VIOLENTLY PUSHES THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ALSO REMAIN CONSTANT DESPITE CONSISTENT WORK ON THE CAR. FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (INCLUDING A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE CAR ALSO ENGAGED LOW POWER MODE AND ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE'S ABS, TRACTION AND ECM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL POWER AND STEERING WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND CAR CAN NO LONGER MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER ( IT HAS FRIED A ECM IN UNDER TWO WEEKS). *TR
