ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I LOST THE ABILITY TO GO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY MOTHER AND WENT INTO REVERSE AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY REV. AFTER MANY TRIES TO GET IT TO WORK I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION I HAD REPLACED JUST 32000 MILES EARLIER HAD FAILED. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 130000 MILES. NOT REALLY SURE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I CAN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE MILEAGE. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP IT DID IT AGAIN. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT HOME. THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS HAVING WORSE SAFETY ISSUES. TAKE A LOOK AT EDMUNDS.COM AND LOOK AT THE SATURN BLOG. SOME HAVE HAD THEIRS GO OUT WHILE IN TRAFFIC, WHILE AWAY ON TRIPS, ON HIGHWAYS. ETC..... *TR

2003 SATURN VUE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND MORE THE DATE OF SALE: 12/05/2008. THE LOAN OFFICER CLAIMS STATES EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE VUE BEFORE PURCHASE PER HER REVIEW. HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, REAR HUB BEARING, NOISE COMING FROM LEFT SIDE BEGINNING JAN 14, 2009- TO CURRENT. WE REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND RETURN TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE FOLLOWING REPORT: BRAKES MAKING NOISE ALL THE TIME AND BURNING SMELL FROM VENTS. SATURN DEALERSHIP IN CONCORD REPAIR: FRONT BRAKE ROTOR REFINISHING AND THE TEACH COMMENTS: UNABLE TO VERIFY ANY SMELLS THIS VISIT. A/C DRAIN NOT RESTRICTED. CALLED GM IN DETROIT, MI (NO HELP) AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE VUE WAS RETURN BECAUSE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS; MY DAUGHTER MET THE LADY WHO PURCHASES THE VUE 2003 AT A FOSTER CARE MEETING IN CONCORD IN 2009, SHE ASK ABOUT THE RACK THAT WAS ON TOP OF VUE 3/24/2009: FILED A CLAIM WITH BBB AUTO LINE PROGRAM: CLAIM THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 7/31/06. I PURCHASE THE VUE IN 2008. --WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. ON MARCH 21, 2012 CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION WITH TRANSMISSION CENTER IN OUR AREA: ADVICE COULD NOT CONFIRM TRANS SLIPPAGE, IT NEEDS REAR HUB BEARING. WE REPLACE THE HUB BEARING, BUT THE NOISE AND SLIPPAGE CONTINUED. THAT SUMMER (JUNE 2012) I TRAVELED TO OAKLAND WITH THE DEBUTANTES (5 YOUNG LADIES INCLUDING MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO EAT) IN ROUTE IN TRAFFIC THE VUE BEGIN TO LOSE ITS POWER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CAR'S GOING AROUND US-IT WAS CRAZY AND NICE MEN CAN AND PUSH THE VUE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY SUNDAY JULY 8, 2013 AND AT 1:50PM PST.--SPOKE WITH THE SALES CONSULTANT WHO PROMISES TO HAVE THE OWNER CALL ME BACK. HE DID AND ASKS HOW I CAN HELP YOU. I EXPLAINED ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID" SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A NEW CAR". I DISCONNECTED THE CALLED...VERY DISRESPECTFULLY--NOT FUNNY. I'VE CHECK THE INTERNET AND CALLED OTHER TRANSMISSION CENTER: COST RANGE $3,999.00. PLEASE HELP ME RETRIEVE SOME OR ALL OF MY MONEY BACK.

MUCH REGRET I EVER PURCHASED THIS SATURN VUE 2003, I LEFT MY HOME YESTERDAY WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE ROAD AS THE TRANSMISSION STARTED FELT LIKE SKIPPING AND WHEN I HAD TO STOP FOR A VEHICLE COMING IN THE ROAD IT WOULDN'T DRIVE AT ALL! WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR FOR THE DRIVE OR REVERSE!! SO SOMEONE CALLED A SHERIFF. I THEN CALLED A FRIEND WHO HAD TO COME AND PUSH VEHICLE OUT OF ROAD TRAFFIC. THIS TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 2010 IT'S AS IF IT WAS NEVER DONE! THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM OUT OF WORK YESTERDAY, AND TODAY!!! CALLING SATURN SERVICE AT 7:30 AM SURE THEY ARE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT ON IT (SARCASM). THE PAST MONTH THE ELECTRICAL WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. THEN AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT. UNTIL THE NEXT DRIVE THEN THE BLINKING STARTS. I HOPE NO ONE HAS A YOUNG NEW DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. THEY ARE BY NO MEANS SAFE!!! MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE WHAT I WENT THROUGH WITH THIS VEHICLE YESTERDAY. IT WOULD HAVE PUT A YOUNG FEMALE AT RISK!!! I DO NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SINK INTO THIS VEHICLE I STILL OWE $7,000 ON AN UNDRIVEABLE VEHICLE. I AM A HOMEOWNER WITH A MORTGAGE AND A SINGLE PARENT THAT WORK HOURS HAVE BEEN CUT BACK DRASTICALLY AT WORK. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE LAWSUIT UNTIL NOW I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN I WENT TO TRY AND TRADE THIS VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS BACK TO NO AVAIL MAKES SENSE NOW WHY NO CAR DEALER WANTED THIS VEHICLE!!! EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE WHY NO ONE WOULD TRADE! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO TRADE VEHICLES UNTIL NOW. THIS IS MY LAST GM VEHICLE. TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE NO FAMILY HERE TO HELP WITH MY PROBLEM SO I AM CERTAINLY OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS SHOULD SOMEONE HAVE ANY??? THANKS *TR

THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE HAS CAUSED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALREADY, BUT THEY ARE STILL BEING SOLD WITH THESE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS. I BOUGHT MY 2003 VUE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND TO RUN ERRANDS MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO IN GEAR IN ORDER TO DRIVE. IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE, BUT NOT FORWARD. *TR

SATURN NOTIFIED ME THAT MY SATURN VUE VTI TRANSMISSION HAD A PROBLEM AND OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR 1/2 PRICE OR GIVE ME A CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW CAR. I DECIDED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON 8/17/2011 AT A GM DEALER. AFTER 20 MONTHS AND 27,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH GM, THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE VTI TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER FIXED SO THAT MEANS THE NEW ONE INSTALLED WAS DEFECTIVE. I ASKED THE GM REP TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THEN WASH THEIR HAND OF THE MATTER? GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FRAUD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL AND MORE INFORMATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE CONSUMER. ESPECIALLY AFTER "WE THE PEOPLE" BAILED OUT GM FROM BANKRUPTCY. THERE ARE 100'S OF ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET FROM SATURN VUE OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I WOULD EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
AS I WAS DRIVING MY AND IT CAR BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SQUEAL. IN MY MIND I THOUGHT I THOUGHT I NEEDED BETTER TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AS I WAS DRIVING TO GET THE TIRES AND ALIGNMENT I HEARD A CRACKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR, THIS REALLY SCARED ME. AT THIS POINT THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS EVEN STRONGER. I ARRIVE TO A TIRE SHOP AND PUT TIRES ON THINKING THIS WOULD BE BETTER BUT IT WAS THE SAME SO I DROVE ACROSS THE STREET TO A MECHANIC TO GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND THE MECHANIC CAME OUT AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN HE CAME BACK UP HE STATED THAT "YOUR SUBFRAME AND CHASIS IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH, PARK IT IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS, IN HIS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A MECHANIC HE ONLY SAW HIS TWICE THE FIRST TIME WAS IN ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS RECALLED AND MINE THAT SHOULD BE ON RECALL WITH THE LEVEL OF DANGER, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I SEE YOU HAVE A BABY'S CAR SEAT IN YOUR BACKSEAT". HE ALSO SAID EVEN AN OLDER CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A SUBFRAME CRACK LIKE THIS, AND THAT THE MOTOR CAN FALL OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THE WHEELS WILL COLLAPSE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN AND IT'S WORTH $5500 AND THE COST WOULD BE FANANIMAL TO FIX. I CAN'T GET TO WORK AND EVEN CHILD CAR THIS IS HORRIBLE. PLEASE HELP.THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CAR AND THE WORST I HAVE EVER HAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE RETURNING ON A TRIP AND USING THE TURN SIGNAL NORMALLY, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS IN WHICH THE TURN SIGNAL SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS WORKING AT ABOUT TWICE THE NORMAL RATE, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE TURN LIGHTS WERE COMING ON. ON ONE PARTICULAR INSTANCE, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TURN SIGNAL GOT EXTREMELY WARM TO THE TOUCH AND SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM THE SWITCH. THERE WERE SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT INCIDENTS DURING THIS TRIP AND ON SUBSEQUENT DAYS, BUT ONLY THE ONE IN WHICH THE SWITCH ACTUALLY SMOKED (WHICH IS WHY I INDICATED A FIRE ABOVE). WHEN I CALLED SATURN (GM DEALERSHIP) ABOUT THIS, THEY MENTIONED THAT A SIMILAR SWITCH WAS UNDER RECALL, BUT NOT THIS ONE. AFTER HAVING REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, I HAD ASKED IF SATURN WANTED THE DEFECTIVE UNIT. SURPRISINGLY, SATURN DIDN'T SEEM TOO CONCERNED AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP, IN TURN, TOLD ME THAT ALL THEY COULD DETERMINE IS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH AND TO CONTACT SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT IF WE HADN'T CORRECTED THE ISSUE (WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE) THAT A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION COULD'VE BEEN CAUSED, AND THAT THIS SWITCH DESIGN IS FAULTY AND MAY POSE A SAFETY (THERMAL) CONCERN. I HAVE KEPT THE OLD SWITCH AND WILL GLADLY PROVIDE IT TO NHTSA IF REQUESTED TO DO SO. I DIDN'T FEEL IT SAFE TO KEEP USING THE OLD SWITCH, AND WHILE THE COST WAS RATHER MINIMAL TO HAVE IT REPLACED, I'M SURPRISED THAT SATURN DIDN'T OFFER TO REIMBURSE ME AND AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, DIDN'T REQUEST THE FAULTY PART TO BE RETURNED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS SINCE REPLACING THE SWITCH, WHICH CERTAINLY CORRECTED IT. THE PART NUMBER LISTED ON THE OLD SWITCH IS SHOWN AS BEING AR339790736/22679804. IN ORDER TO NOT CAUSE THE SWITCH TO GO INTO THE MODE DESCRIBED ABOVE, IT WAS BEST TO NOT USE THE TURN SIGNAL ANY MORE THAN POSSIBLE. *TR

THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TWO PRIOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS. THE DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS REAR ENDED ON MARCH 19TH IN SPRINGDALE ARKANSAS. I WAS PARKED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN A CAR REAR ENDED ME. THE DRIVER DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE AND HIS NAME WAS [XXX] ADDRESS ON THE ACCIDENT REPORT WAS[XXX]. THE VEHICLE WAS A MITSUBISHI MIRAGE LICENSE PLATE 551 RKZ AND DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER [XXX]. THE OFFICERS NAME WAS [XXX]. I RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE STATING THAT HE DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT ON THE WAY HOME MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS FLASHED. THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND BLACK SMOKE CAME POURING OUT AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME THING BUT WAS TOLD IT IS NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. I AM ARGUING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THE ENGINE PART WHICH THEY SAID WAS NOT DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I THINK THE IMPACT FROM THE WRECK KNOCKED THE OIL FILLER CAP OFF BECAUSE WHEN THE GEICO ADJUSTERS HAD THE CAR THEY COULD NOT FIND IT. I FOUND THE OIL FILLER CAP DOWN IN THE FRONT BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE AND FRONT OF THE CAR. OIL WAS ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND SEIZED FROM WHAT THE GEICO ADJUSTERS SAID. I AM PLACING A COMPLAINT WITH THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER ON GEICO FOR NOT PICKING ME UP FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, TAKING TO LONG TO REPAIR THE BUMPER, NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE DOING TAKING SO LONG TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR. THEY TRIED CHARGING ME A $500 DEDUCTIBLE WHEN I HAD UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED MOTORISTS AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THEM.
