ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR HAS BEEN A BUST SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS OF COURSE A RECALL FOR MANY OTHER AURAS EXCEPT OUR SPECIFIC ONE. HAD THAT REPLACED, NOW ITS THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH IS ALSO A COMMON COMPLAINT OF THE AURA YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR MISFIRES, SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN IN IDLE AND WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS A VERY HARD SHIFT. ITS VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS SHOOT UP. IT ALSO STALLS AND IT SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS OFF. EVERY LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE IS ON, CHECK ENGINE, STABILTY, ETC. IT ANOTHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR THATS WORTH MORE THAN HALF THE CAR.
