The 2007 Saturn Aura has two recalls, both describing the same issue: the shift cable connecting the gear selector to the automatic transmission can fracture, leaving the transmission in a different gear than the shift lever indicates.
If the cable tabs break, the car may not actually be in Park even when the lever shows Park, which can allow the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. Both recalls apply to vehicles equipped with the 4-speed automatic transmission.
