POWER TRAIN
TRANMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAVE PLATE BREAKAGE. I EXPERIENCED THESE CONDITIONS: 1) IN 3RD GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN IN CITY DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE AN ONCOMING DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO WARNING REGARDING THE SUDDEN DECELERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE BY >=10 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY ACCELERATING IN 3RD GEAR, THE SHIFT FLARE SETS IN, AND YOU LOSE FORWARD MOMENTUM. 2) IN 5TH GEAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS WHILE YOU ATTEMPT TO LEGALLY PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. ONCE IN FIFTH GEAR AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE SHIFT FLARE IN PLACE OF THE SHIFT TO 6TH WILL CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO SLOW SIGNIFICANTLY WITH NO WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. THIS INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF A HIGH-SPEED REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE DRIVERS FOLLOWING BEHIND YOU IN THE PASSING LANE ARE EXPECTING YOU TO PASS AND MOVE RIGHT, BUT IF THE VEHICLE FLARE SHIFTS ON ITS WAY TO 6TH GEAR, LIKELY WILL BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR PASS.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE EPS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (AUTONATION BUICK GMC WEST SAHARA, 6400 WEST SAHARA AVENUE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89146, (702) 605-5808) WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS SUPPOSED TO RESPOND TO THE CONTACT, BUT HAD NOT FOLLOWED-UP TO PROVIDE AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED TWO EPS RECALLS, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO ISSUED 11 TSBS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

STEERING
THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL INTERMITTENTLY QUIT WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE TURNING IT HAS STOPPED WORKING CAUSING THE DRIVER TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT STEER THE CAR BACK INTO THEIR LANE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS THE STEERING HAS JUST WUIT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO RESET THE ELECTRONICS. THIS CONDITION IS THE SAME ISSUE THEY HAD ON PREVIOUS YEARS OF THE SAME VEHICLE SO THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT JUST PUT A BAND AIDE ON THE ISSUE TO GET IT TO PASS INSPECTION. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP UNLESS YOU ARE USED TO DRIVING A TANK WITHOUT POWER STEERING!
