I'm looking to buy a 2007 Saturn Aura XE with 80,000km. If i'm not mistaken it is a 4 gear transmission. Does this transmission have the same problems as the 6 gears ? Is it a good buy ?
2007XR with 360k. Had to replace the engine.
They eat headlight bulbs because of poor mounting of lights that aren’t shock mounted. The plastic windshield washer faucet is exposed to engine heat and cracks on many auras. The worst is the engine timing chain stretches and is big bucks to replace. The tank mounted fuel pump failed too. After repairs it’s still going at 250,000 miles with no body rust.
Good vid! And spot on. I have an '07 Aura XR with the 6-speed transmission.
I encountered the 3,5,R Wave plate issue and GM fixed with no charge it even though it was out of warranty. There is a special coverage offer for GM cars with this issue.
Another thing that happened was the multifunction switch that you point out. Fortunately this was easy enough to fix myself.
A few other things I had with this car that others might also see:
1) Instrument panel lights failing. This can be removed and sent for repair with an independent electronics repair firm (which I eventually did). Getting a used one from a junkyard won't completely work as the VIN is locked to the instrument panel so your total miles will not update unless it is the original part. So get the original out and send it out for repair. Doable if you are relatively handy and the cost will be around $200 or so.
2) Rear 3rd brake light fail. One would think this wouldn't happen since they are LEDs. But apparently the board may have cold solder joints and fail. Getting this fixed is difficult as it is hard to remove and finding a new one is also tough. Some people have had luck reflowing the solder. A PITA since you need this for some state safety inspections.
3) Replacing the front headlights is ridiculously difficult. It is next to impossible to unplug the bulb sockets as they are crammed behind the light module with zero room. You have to take apart a good deal of the front bumper and also the wheel well liners to get at the screws and bolts to loosen the headlight module so you can get at the sockets.
Aside from all that I've had a reliable car that has been a dependable ride for over 14 years.
I owned a 2.4L 2009 Aura and another thing was the Electric Steering Assist would go out going down the road randomly.
Daaanng man you know a lot about any car , good videos
Im suffering from the exploding cooling fan stabbed radiator problem.
Only thing I'd suggest is problems with the steering u-joint aren't always obvious. It should be checked and possibly replaced if there's slack in the steering wheel.
My 07 with 152k has vent valve, tranny , turn signal cancellation, driver window switch issues. Other than those problems, it’s a great car…..oh wait, the repair is close to the value of the vehicle.
Dude you spot on I bet you own a Saturn aura
I have an 09 Aura XR with the 3.6L and 6 speed tranny. Just hit 250K today on a 7 hour trip from Buffalo, NY. Car has been very solid last 12 years with only minor issues. Did replace the wheel bearings at 200K (only one was bad but did both since they are cheap and the repair is simple). Had the evap valve go at somewhere around 150K but no problems since. Bet this thing hasn't had $1500 in repairs in 12 years. Would buy another in a heart beat
Would you be able to show me where the Silinoid #4 is located? I have a 08' POS Aura.
Spanish please ??????
i have the '08 XR with the 3.6L V6. i got it three years ago at 80k miles and i've only put 14k on it since i bought it. no major problems and i've driven it from the northeast to the midwest to the south and back to the northeast but the flaws in the LY7 engine and 6T70 transmission of the '07-'09 era make it feel like a ticking time bomb. the XE doesn't use this engine/transmission configuration. if i weren't planning on moving back to the big city i'd look into getting a different car.
4t45e transmission have any problems?
Man you havent seen issues until you've owned a Mercedes Benz w251 R class. So many headaches!!!
I love my Saturn dearly an this video helped me diagnose wht might be one my issues
