VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE SPEED INCREASED TO 80 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO LIFT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH HER FOOT, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO DECREASE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2007 SATURN VUE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTIONING. THEY SAY THAT THE AIR BAG WON'T WORK IF THE SEAT DOESN'T WORK ...... THEY SAY IT WILL COST ABOUT $900 TO FIX....... THIS WEEK, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT REGISTERING THE KEYS, AND IT IS NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE STARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE ENGINE IS "RUNNING LEAN" I FEEL THAT THE AIR BAG PROBLEM AND THE IGNITION PROBLEM SHOULD BE UNDER RECALLS FOR SURE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
THE IGNITION WAS NOT TURNING OVER PROPERLY. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CAME ON. THE (ABS) LIGHT CAME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE MY CAR FROM FRESNO TO YOSEMITE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PARK GARAGE IT BROKE DOWN AND I MANAGED TO ROLL IT OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A STALL. I REQUESTED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. THE PROFESSIONAL SAID IT APPEARED TO HIM TO BE A FAULTY ALTENATOR, A FAILED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND A BATTERY PROBLEM, AS WELL AS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO EXAMINE THE PRODUCTS, SO INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER IN THE NEAREST LOCALE. THIS IS A SPECIFIC CAR DEALER IN FRESNO, CA.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. WENT TO A DEALERSHIP BACK WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING. WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $300.00 TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME IF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD BROUGHT IN SATURNS FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT CORRECTED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHEN WILL IT BE ADDRESSED?

I OWN A 2007 SATURN VUE WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2007. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR WEEKS BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS SO THEY SAY. RIGHT AFTER I BRING THE VEHICLE HOME THE PROBLEM BEGINS AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN READING THE SAME PROBLEM FROM QUITE A FEW OWNERS. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE FOR THAT MATTER BEFORE THE MANUFACTURE WILL DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY? THE PART PROBABLY DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO FIX BUT THEY WOULD RATHER RISK GETTING SUED FOR MILLIONS THAN FIX A $$ PROBLEM. OH THE SHAME!

DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS (IF ON, IT WOULD STAY ON THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRIP BUT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY COME ON THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED). MORE RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND STAYING DURING EVERY TRIP. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THIS IS A GLITCH IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (COMING ON AND OFF WOULD INDICATE THAT IT IS) OR IF THE AIR BAGS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD TO AVOID HITTING A VEHICLE AFTER BEING CUT OFF. THIS RESULTED IN USING GREATER THAN USUAL BRAKE FORCEAT THAT MOMENT, HEARD POP NOISE WHICH CAME FROM REAR OF VEHICLE THEN VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT AT THE SAME INSTANT STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MOVE CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE RAPIDLY. HAD TO BRING VEHICLE UNDER 35 MPH TO GET STEERING UNDER CONTROL (ALMOST LOST CONTROL INTO CEMENT BARRIER) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BACK TO SPEED LIMIT VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY FOR ALMOST 2 MILES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. WHEN BRAKING ON OFF RAMP VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT ! LATER THAT DAY HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AND TECH FOUND REAR SUBFRAME BOLT HAD LOST ITS HEAD (LITERALLY) APPEARED TO BE BADLY RUSTED BELOW DEPTH OF SUBFRAME.. BOLT WAS REPLACED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED,TWO DAYS LATER LEFT FRONT WHEEL LOCKS WHEN COMING TO STOP OR WHEN BRAKES ARE PUMPED 2-3 APPLICATIONS. HAD FRONT PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED BRAKES FLUSHED.,REAR BRAKES CHECKED AND SERVICED. NO INDICATION OF STICKING CALIPERS OR FLEX HOSE ISSUES. . VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED UN EXPLAINED WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT. NEARLY REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN WOT OCCURRED. THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM HAVE DRAINED MY POCKETBOOK. NEVER HAVE I ENCOUNTERED THIS MANY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES WHICH I OWNED. . *TR

STRUCTURE
ROOF RACK COLLECTS WATER RUSTING OUT BOLTS HOLDING CROSS MEMBER TO ROOF RAILS. DOING ROUTINE INSPECTION AND FOUND ONE CROSS MEMBER DETACHED. FORTUNATELY LOCATED BEFORE LOADING SURFBOARD TO RACKS WHICH COULD HAVE FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON ROAD. IT APPEARS THE RAILS WHICH RUN THE LENGTH OF THE ROOF IS WHERE THE RACKS FAIL. THERE ARE HOLES WHICH COLLECT WATER CAUSING THE RUST AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE BOLT(S) THAT THE CROSS MEMBER ATTACHES TOO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
BROUGHT MY 2007 SATURN VUE TO REPAIR A POWERFUL GASOLINE SMELL AROUND THE REAR OF CAR, NEAR GAS CAP. SAID IT WOULD COST $332 TO LIFT OUT FUEL TANK TO SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. 4 HOURS LATER, MECHANIC SAID THE TANK WAS DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE BECAUSE THE LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP WERE CRIMPED AND CRACKED SO THERE WAS GASOLINE LEAKING OUT. (WONDER WHY I WAS REFUELING SO OFTEN?) I NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP COSTS $600. I'LL BE SURE TO USE MY 10% OFF COUPON. THE WORST PART WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO WARN ME!!!! ALSO WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, 2 NEW LIFT GATES, BRAKES AND NEW TIRES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD ABOUT OIL CHANGES/MAINTENANCE BUT I GUESS NEW CARS ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST 10 YEARS. BUMMER! *TR
