I HAVE A 2007 SATURN AURA XR, GREAT CAR, BUT WHEN YOU HIT BUMPS, OR CROSS LANES WHERE THERE IS UNEVEN PAVEMENT THE STEERING OVER REACTS REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD YOU HOLD THE WHEEL. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION THAT THE UNEVEN PAVEMENT THROWS IT TOWARD, SO YOU HAVE TO OVER COMPENSATE QUICKLY BEFORE YOU HIT ANOTHER CAR NEXT TO YOU OR A GUARD RAIL. IT OFTEN FEELS LIKE THE POWER STEERING IS NOT RESPONSIVE ENOUGH BY THE SECOND AS IT'S NEEDED. NOW I HAVE DRIVEN A CHEVY MALIBU 08, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM/CAR TO TEST THE STEERING, AND …

ON THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2007, AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30 PM, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AT A STOP SIGN. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR REVVED, SURGED FORWARD THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CAR HIT…

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 SATURN AURA XR THAT WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2007. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER IN SEPT 2007 TO INVESTIGATE "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND "ESC" WARNING LIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, I BEGAN NOTICING THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THEY WOULD BE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN WOULD GO OFF WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS MADE FOR VERY UNSETTLING DRIVING. I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO SATURN TWICE IN 2007 TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT I HAS STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE CHE…
