ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES OUT, MAKING STEERING VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN COOLER WEATHER AND USUALLY TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND PARKING FOR A LITTLE WHILE CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. TRIED TO CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID, WAS TOLD IT IS AN ELECTRIC SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREEWAY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO GO OUT AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING, THIS IS AN ONGOING AND SPORADIC PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BOTH BATTERY CABLES, I REPLACE THEM BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION, IT FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ENGINE
ENGINE GOES INTO 'LOW POWER MODE' RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE LIMPING ALONG. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN IT GOES INTO THIS MODE NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT GOES NO MORE THAN 5MPH. THIS OFTEN OCCURS JUST AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AND THE LOW POWER MODE LIGHTS COME ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHT WIRING MELTED. REPLACED BOTH SIDE HEADLIGHTS AND AFTER 2 YEARS THE WIRE HARNESS MELTED AGAIN THE PARKING PAWL GETS STUCK OFTEN. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE PARKING PAWL GETS STUCK. THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR JERKS AND MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE. THE LIGHT ISSUE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS NOW. THE PARKING PAWL ISSUE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

POWER TRAIN
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.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVE SOUTHBOUND IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I-95 DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHAKE IN THE STEERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS BEFORE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO FISHTAIL TOWARDS THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS ON BOTH SIDES OF ME. I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE BRAKE AND PLACED MY VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD.
