THE VEHICLE IS HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING. UNLIKE THE FULLY FUNCTIONAL POWER STEERING WHEEL DOES, IT MAKES THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE FEEL UNSAFE. IT FEELS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS, WHICH COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. IT SOUNDED SERIOUS SO I SAID JUST FIX IT. $600 LATER MY CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT WITH NO PROBLEMS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SAME REASON. DEALERSHIP WONT FIX IT AGAIN AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO. THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS. EVERYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK MY CAR TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO START AGAIN AND IT STRUGGLES. LOTS OF SPUTTERING AND MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS THEN DIES. IVE BEEN TOLD I WASN'T THE CAUSE AND ITS PROBABLY JUST A FAULTY GAS CAP SO I REPLACED THAT AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON AFTER HAVING IT CLEARED. THEIR OTHER EXPLANATION WAS ITS A SATURN SO EXPECT PROBLEMS. I WAS NOT HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. THEY REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE, VENT VALVE, CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND EVERYTHING. THERE IS NO REASON IT SHOULD BE MESSED UP AGAIN ESPECIALLY THIS SOON AFTER REPLACEMENT. OTHER THAN THAT MY CAR RUNS GREAT AFTER 4 YEARS OF OWNING AND DRIVING IT ALL OVER THE STATE.

POWER STEERING WOULD CUT IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING. CHECK LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. LET CAR SIT A BIT RESTART ENGINE THEN WOULD STEER CORRECTLY BUT NOT FOR TOO LONG THEN STEERING WOULD BECOME VERY HARD AND CHECK LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AGAIN. A FEW DAYS WOULD PASS WITHOUT INCIDENT THEN IT WOULD FAIL TO STEER PROPERLY,(WITHOUT POWER). TOOK IN AND MECHANIC FOUND A CODE FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR FAILURE AND ALSO THE TORQUE SENSOR,( STEERING COLUM ANGLE SENSOR) WAS BAD. I READ AN ARTICAL SOMETIME IN 2013 THAT DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM AND IT WAS BEING FOLLOWED FOR A HISTORY BUT HAD NOT BECOME A RECALL YET. BEFORE WRINTING THIS COMPLAINT FORM I REVIEWED MY VIN # AND STILL NO RECALL :(

HI I HAVE A 2008 SATURN VUE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2008. IN 2010 WITH ABOUT 32,000 MILES THE TRANNY WAS BLOWN, THEY FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THAT WINTER IT HERE I WENT TO PUT MY CAR IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO GO DOWN A SNOW COVERED HILL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT, IT STAYED IN 4TH. (I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT SINCE THE NEW TRANNY WAS PUT IN, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME) BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP THINKING IT WAS THE TRANNY AND THEY SAY IT IS THE FLOOR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WIRING AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE? THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 3 YRS OLD! *TR

I PURCHASED MY SATURN IN OCTOBER, 08. I ENJOYED DRIVING MY VUE THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE PAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. MY SATURN STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS, BUT I FOUND OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO SATURN IN JUNE 09, THAT STATED "THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM". THE TAKE OFF IS SO SLOW AND MY VUE IS STILL STALLING. I NEED THE PROBLEM SOLVED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

IT IS HARD TO TURN WHEN IT SIT IDLE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY LOOSENES UP WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, WITCH MAKES IT HARD TO PARK OR TURN WHEN AT A GREEN LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND WHEN I REVERSE OR NEED TO GO FORWARD AND TURN A LITTLE BIT IN SMALL SPACES TO ADJUST THE PLACEMENT OF WHICH MY VEHICLE IS IN ITS TO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN MOTION FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE SO MUCH STRENGTH TO FORCE IT TO TURN.

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES(BOTH SIDES) AND WIRE HARNESS KEEPS MELTING. I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE NOW PURCHASED THE WIRE HARNESS AND I HOPE THIS WILL NOT BURN ALSO. 2. THE CAR JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING IN REVERSE WHICH INDICATES THE PARKING PAWL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND NO RESPONSE RETURNED. 3. WATER IS LEAKING INTO MY CAR. THE FRONT AND BACKSEAT FLOORS ARE SOAKED. LOOKS LIKE THE SEAL AROUND THE FIREWALL IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY. I SAW MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2008-2010 SATURN VUE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

FOR THE LAST YEAR, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, AND WHILE STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. IT WON'T RESTART FOR A FEW MINUTES, SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART ON FIRST TRY. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (I'M GUESSING) MAKES A LOT OF CLICKING NOISES-FROM THE ENGINE AND INSIDE THE CAR-DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, ELECTRIC DOOR AND WINDOW LIGHTS ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL FLICKER, AIRBAGS, HAZARDS, RADIO LIGHTS WILL ALL FLICKER, AND WINDOWS WON'T GO UP OR DOWN, OR WILL SLIGHTLY, DOOR LOCKS WON'T OPERATE, ETC. ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED THE SAME NIGHT I PURCHASED IT SEPT. 2017 WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE AND THE ENGINE DIED AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT FLICKERED. THE DEALER HAD IT HOOKED UP TO A BATTERY CHARGER THE NEXT DAY AND THE BATTERY DIED. IN ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, WE OPEN AND SHUT DOORS, TRY TO USE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS (WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS ETC.), AND THAT SEEMS TO HELP, AS AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START, SEEMINGLY FROM OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS AND THE HATCHBACK. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK VIA THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB. WHEN DOORS ARE LOCKED AND ALARM IS SET VIA KEYFOB (LIGHTS WILL FLASH AND ALARM NOISE WILL GIVE NOISE TO CONFIRM IT), HOWEVER, THE DOORS WILL OPEN BY JUST PULLING ON THE HANDLE, AND ALARM WILL GO OFF. THE STEERING HAS A LEAK THAT LEAKS OUT ALL THE FLUID IN A DAY OR TWO, AS WELL.

I JUST BOUGHT AN 08 SATURN VUE V6 XR WITH THE 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC 94K MILES AND I’VE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 3-5 WAVE PLATES I WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WON’T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN THE CAR IS WARM. I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST SIGNS OF IT THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE SENSOR BUT AFTER I GOT IT BACK I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SHOP SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A 3-4K JOB. GM DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT ALTHOUGH MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT LEAVES PEOPLE LIKE ME STUCK WITH NO SOLUTION AS I HAD JUST SPENT ALL MY MONEY BUYING THE CAR.
