Last November our California lemon law offices were contacted by a woman concerned about transmission problems she was experiencing with her 2008 Saturn Aura XE. This particular model had been recalled a month earlier (more…)
GM has announced that they will be recalling over 40,000 vehicles sold in warm weather states because these vehicles have plastic parts connected to the fuel pump which could crack and leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
GM says there have been no reports of fires or injuries related to the defect. The company began investigating the issue in 2011 after a dealer reported fuel leaks from some vehicles. Warranty data indicates that the problem is more common in vehicles registered in warm weather states. The vehicles affected by this problem include:
Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.
General Motors (GM) will be contacting owners of certain Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models equipped with four speed automatic transmissions, about a problem that could lead to the vehicles unexpectedly rolling away. According to GM, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end could fracture and separate, leaving the driver with inaccurate shift lever readings. The driver may be able to put the vehicle in park and remove the key, but the vehicle is not actually in park. The vehicle may not start and could roll away unexpectedly. GM will be notifying owners as soon as a recall schedule has been decided and dealerships will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. Owners wanting more information on the problem can contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. The vehicles involved in the recall include:
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigation into GMC’s 2007-2008 Saturn Aura has been extended to include the 2005-2008 Pontiac G6 and the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu. The NHTSA said the protective jacket around cables connecting the floor shifter lever to the transmission can become damaged from regular use. The cables could corrode and eventually weaken giving drivers inaccurate transmission readings. There have been seven reports of crashes caused by the problem, with one involving injuries. According to GM the problem affects mainly models with four-speed transmissions, the Malibu and G6 have similar shift systems as the Saturn Aura, but the problem happens far less frequently on those cars.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is intensifying their investigating into power steering problems in some 2004-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles after receiving over 4,300 complaints. Sixteen of these complaints said that the electronic power steering (EPS) warning lamp illuminated before or during the loss of steering assist and the increased steering effort contributed to a crash. NHTSA said they have upgraded the preliminary inquiry to an engineering analysis so they could further assess the frequency, scope and safety consequences of a sudden loss of steering assist in the subject vehicles.
The EPS system is the same as the on used in the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2010 Pontiac G5 vehicles. In March of 2010, GM recalled over one million of these vehicle to correct a defect with the EPS assist motor. The problem was described as a buildup of brush debris mixed with oily material on the EPS electric motor armature which causes the motor to stop functioning.
2006 Saturn Ion – Lighting problem -Sabersport is recalling 16,270 combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies. These headlamps do not conform with certain requirements. The decreased lighting visibility could result in a vehicle crash. Pleas call your Saturn dealership immediately and schedule an appointment.
2008 Saturn Vue – Steering problem – Some of the Saturn Vue’s may have a problem with the nut securing the power steering line to the power steering pump. It may loosen and if this happens there could be a power steering leak.The fluid could come in contact with hot exhaust components and could create a possible engine fire. Please call your Saturn dealership immediately and schedule an appointment.
General Motors has decided to remove the “G.M. Mark of Excellence” logos from its Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models. The logo has been on the vehicles since 2005. The reason given is that G. M. wants to emphasize these remaining brands. Research has shown that their customers think more of the individual brands than they do of General Motors in light of all their financial problems.
