Known issues on the 2009 Aura. Steering accounts for 210 of the 392 complaints recorded for the 2009 Aura, followed by the power train (65), stability control (60) and the electrical system (59); 12 complaints reported a crash, 9 an injury, 2 a fire and 1 a death. That pattern lines up with one of its 4 recalls, which covers certain 2009 Aura vehicles that may suddenly lose electric power steering assist. On certain 2009 Aura vehicles, a shift cable adjustment clip may not be seated, so the car can sit out of Park after the key is removed and roll away; dealers check the clip and replace the cable if needed. Steering, transaxle and electrical diagnostics, procedures and torque values address these systems.
