ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE IGNITION , THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP BLINKING OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUING TO BLINK OFF AND ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND TRIED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD NOT START AND THE DASHBOARD DID NOT LIGHT UP, BUT RATHER ONLY THE MILEAGE INDICATOR DIMLY LIT UP. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE STARTED UP WITH DASHBOARD WORKING PROPERLY. WITH MONTHS LATER ON I NOTICED THE AC WOULD GO HAYWIRE BLOWING HOT AIR VIA VENT AND I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF OR GET ANY COLD AIR TO BLOW.THIS WOULD ALL HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. THEN THE BACKUP LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT WITHIN A MINUTE IT WOULD STAY OFF. THEN AS TIME PASSED I NOTICED THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR STAYED ON PERMEMENTLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I TURNED LEFT USING THE THE TURN SIGNAL AND THEN OFF WHEN I TURN RIGHT USING TURN SIGNAL. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND MULTIPLE DTC OF LOSS COMMUNICATION WITH VARIOUS MODULES AND LOOSE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND HAD TO RECALIBRATE ALL AC ACTUATORS. I HAD CHECKED THE BATTERY TERMINALS PRIOR TO TAKING CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE TIGHT. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND ON WAY HOME THE HEATER CAME ON FULL BLAST VIA VENT AND WHEN I TURNED CONTROLS OFF NOTHING WORKED. THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON LIKE BEFORE INTERMITTENTLY. THE NEXT DAY THE AC WORKED FINE, BUT THERE IS OCCATIONALLY A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM UNDERNEITH DASH. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK. *JS

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS CAR REDUCED GEAR FROM 6 TO 5 AND I LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES AND SENDING THE WARNING BY THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO THE CAR BEHIND ME. CAR JUST STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT WHOEVER WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME COULDN'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF NO WARNING. TRANSMISSION VALVE PLATE 35R FAILED WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THIS CAR AND MODEL. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL IN MY OPINION. I READ MANY PEOPLE'S REPORTS OF THAT HAPPENING AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS RECALL DONE? *TR

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE SATURN VUE 2008. WAS TOLD BY SALES MAN IT HAD A 1 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND 2 YEAR ON THE POWER TRAIN. JUST AFTER MY 1 YEAR MARK MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FELT ASSURED AT LEAST IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT, THAT IS WAS ONLY COVERED FOR 1 YEAR ON THE POWER TRAIN, I WAS VERY DISPLEASED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT WITH ONLY 50K MILES ON IT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL "MANAGERS" ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HOW I FELT THEY SHOULD COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO ABSORB SOME OF THE COST, I PAID 1K DOLLARS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON THEY DID THE SERVICE THAT IT WAS DUE SUCH AS ROTATING TRIES ETC. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING :( NOW IT WORKS OFF AND ON, THEN A DAY LATER MY LOW TIRE SENSOR COMES ON, SHOWING MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FAULTY. REALLY??? NOW WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, MY TRACTION CONTROL/ABS WARRING LIGHTS COME ON AND DING. WOW WHY AS THIS CAR NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I NOW FIND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUES TO THE TEE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. NOW I REMEMBER WHY MY 3 PREVIOUS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TOYOTA AND HONDA'S I PAID 5K DOWN ALL THE MONEY I HAD BUY A CERTIFIED CAR THINKING IT WOULD LAST ME LONGER THAN 1 YEAR. I WAS WRONG AND I OWE MORE ON IT NOW THAT I AM SURE IT IS WORTH. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 PENSACOLA FL HEADING NORTHWEST GOING 70-75 MILES AN HOUR SEMI TRUCK ABOUT 2 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND ME I M INT THE RIGHT LANE CARS TO MY LEFT TRAFFIC IS HEAVY 3:45 IN THE PM. MY CAR MAKES CHUNK THEN A BUMP ENGINE SHUTS OFF NO POWER NO POWER STEERING SEMI LOCKS UP HIS BRAKES ALMOST HITS ME PULLED THE CAR TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I COLLECTED MYSELF CAR WONT TURN OVER NO SMOKE OR FLUIDS POPPED THE HOOD NOTHING TO INDICATE WHAT HAPPENED. HAD IT TOWED TO VINNC WHIBBS I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE LOCKED UP NO REASON WHY. PUT A NEW ENGINE IN FOUND OUT IN FACT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS AND COME TO FIND OUT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN GM CARS INT THE TRANSMISSION THE 35R WAVE PLATE HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IT AFFECTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CARS 2007-2009 SATURNS. TAVERSE, ACADIA, OUTLOOK, MALIBU, ARURA. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT WONT DO A RECALL. THIS IS WRONG AS A CONSUMER IM SUPPOSE TO BE PROTECTED BY LAW FROM DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THIS DEPT THE NHTSA HAS LOOKED IN TO THIS ISSUE AND YOUR DEPT HAS DETIRMENED IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART BUT NO SAFETY ISSUES, I BE G TO DIFFER I WAS ALMOST IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART. ONCE AGAIN GM HAS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT HOW MANY LIVES LOST DOES IT TAKE BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION. *JS

STEERING
I HAD DRIVEN TO THE STORE AND PARKED THE CAR. AFTER SHOPPING, I STARTED THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN, AND I REALIZED THAT I SHOULDN'T TRY TO DRIVE IT. I RETURNED IT TO THE PARKING SPOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW OTHER SATURN MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THIS ONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
PULLED OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, AT NORMAL SPEED. AND THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS IN VERY GOOD RUNNING CONDITION WITH REG MAINTENANCE ON CAR. I HAD A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THIS TIME. I HAD TO MAKE IT HOME GOING 5-10 MPH. THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED AT THIS LOW OF MILES AND REG MAINTENANCE ON CAR. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? *TR

STEERING
AS I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS A STRUGGLE TO STEER AND COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THE MOST RECENT, 11/1714. THE LAST TIME I ALSO HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOME SORT OF MOTOR STRUGGLING. THREE OF THESE TIMES IT WAS A RAINY OR WET SLUSHY DAY. IN EACH OF THE INCIDENTS, AFTER GETTING TO SAFETY AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT, IT BEGAN TO RUN FINE AGAIN. THIS LAST TIME, I WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO COMPLETE A SHARP ENOUGH RIGHT TURN TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE EXITING THE STREET TO LEAVE, SO I KNEW I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND PULL OVER SAFELY! I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE GM PLACE FOR SERVICE LAST MONTH (OCTOBER 2014) BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED I WILL HAVE COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING SOMEWHERE. THEY SAID THEY TRIED BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. BECAUSE IT IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT UNLESS THEY DROVE IT AROUND FOR A COUPLE WEEKS! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I AM GOING TO BRING IT BACK AND TRY AGAIN, BUT WANTED TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. THERE ISN'T A RECALL, HOWEVER IN SEARCHING, I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE! THERE MUST BE SOMEONE IN THIS INDUSTRY WHO CAN FIGURE THIS OUT AND FIND A SOLUTION TO IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 SATURN VUE HYBRID STARTED HAVING HUGE PROBLEMS. FIRST THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR THEN THE STABILITITRAK AND SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM; LOSS POWER WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY 2008 SATURN VUE HYBRID WOULD POWER DOWN TO 50% BEFORE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS THEN SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. IT DID THIS OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A FEW WEEKS. SOMETIMES VEHICLE REFUSED TO START AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN KEY IT SEEMED LIKE WAS STUCK INSIDE MAKING IT HARD TO TURN OR REMOVE IT. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY AND EVEN HYBRID BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE FOR SOME TIME. HOWEVER TODAY 10/14/14 IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY (BUSY HIGHWAY) IN NEW YORK CITY THE AUTOMOBILE STARTED TO STALL AT 45 MPH AND THE STABILITITRAK AND SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM, LOSS POWER WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN SUDDENLY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO MANEUVER WHILE I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OVER TO CURBSIDE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED AT THE CROSSROADS? I WAS HAVING MY WIFE AND (XXX) YEARS OLD CHILD IN THE CAR TRAVELING WITH ME. THEY STARTED TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE IT SEEMED WE ARE GOING TO CRASH AND DIE. I CALLED TOWING COMPANY TO TOW US TO SAFETY. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE. PLEASE HELP AND ASSIST TO PUSH GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO AVOID MORE SERIOUS CASUALTIES. *TRPARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION, TIRES
PURCHASED IN 2011 FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN LOUISVILLE. IT HAD THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT ON. THEY SENT IT TO THE SHOP AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION OVER AND OVER. THEN OTHER LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON ALONG WITH THE SLUGGISH FEELING AND AN ANNOYING RATTLING, ROLLING SOUND. DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS FROM SPARK PLUGS???? I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY WANTED 100.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC 500 FOR SPARK PLUGS. I DECLINED. THE ROTOR AND STRUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE CAR WOULD OFTEN TIMES BE RUNNING WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, GAS GONE, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS AND BAD FOR THE CAR. TRANSMISSION FAILURE STARTS AND CONTINUES. HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN DECEMBER 2013. AIRBAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. DEALERSHIP RECEIVED OVER $5000. AFTER A MONTH THEY SAY IT'S FINISHED BRING ME THE CAR. I GET HOME AND THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE ROCKING AND ROLLING SOUND IN THE STRUTS IS WORSE. THEY SAID THAT IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT FROM THE ACCIDENT. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO FIX IGNITION. THIS VEHICLE IS A FAILURE! NO WONDER SATURN IS OUT OF BUSINESS. AS FOR THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THE GM DEALER UNDER PROGRESSIVE INS. THIEVES! I TOOK PICTURES OF MY FILE AND HAVE WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DID FOR THE 5000. HOW MUCH THEY PAID FOR THE PARTS. I ALMOST THREW UP. IT WAS 300% MARK UP ON SOME THINGS. OTHERS WERE CHARGED FOR AND NOT REPLACED. AFTER THIS I LOST ALL FAITH IN TRUSTING DEALERSHIPS ETC. I STILL OWE ON THE CAR. I WILL CONTINUE TO EDUCATE MYSELF ON THE THIEVERY THAT GOES ON IN THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY. I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT KARMA WILL CATCH UP WITH THEM. DON'T BOTHER CONTACTING GM. THEY WILL ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND NEVER GET BACK WITH YOU. *TR

THE C5 PLATE IN THE TRANSMISSION SNAPPED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. NO REVERSE EITHER. CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30, RPM'S WERE HIGH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. COST TO FIX $1794. RESEARCHED PROBLEM, BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS CAME UP, SAME PROBLEM, SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. TRANSMISSION EXCHANGE IN LACKAWANNA NY VERIFIED THAT HE HAS DONE SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH SAME TRANSMISSION, SAME PROBLEM. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER NEEDING TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LABELED A RECALL BEING IT'S A MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THE VEHICLE FEELS SLUGGISH LIKE DRIVING THROUGH QUICKSAND AND THAT THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON EVERY SO OFTEN.TODAY I DROVE THE VUE TO WORK AND IN THAT 17 MILE DRIVE I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING LIKE A FLAT TIRE OR AN UNBALANCED RIM. I GOT OFF THE EXIT AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE ENSURING THAT NO TIRES WERE FLAT AND THAT NO LUG NUTS WERE LOOSE. I DID NOTICE THAT THE RIMS FELT EXTREMELY HOT BUT SEEING AS I HAD DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I CALLED ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSIS AND WAS INFORMED THAT TWO TIRES WERE A LITTLE LOW. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND RETURNED HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER WORK ON THE SAME DAY WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THE 2 STABILITRAK LIGHTS DID NOT TURN OFF. WE CALLED ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK BUT NOT BRAKES AND THAT IT SHOULD BE SERVICED WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DEALERS NOT KNOWING HOW TO RESOLVE IT BUT CHARGING CONSUMERS ANYWAYS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING THE SAME ROUTE AS THE IGNITION RECALL AND IS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN A DECADE BEFORE THE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THAT FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT THE WAVE PLATE HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW CAUSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF SMALL DEFECTIVE PART THAT WHEN IT FAILS RESULTS IN A NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED. THIS KNOWN ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND ALSO MY TRANSMISSION SHOP SAYS THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT WE HAVE RECOURSE WITH GM? *TR
