Car Stall problems of the 2002 Saturn VUE

While driving at highway speeds, vehicle stalled,and would not restart. Vechile coasted to lane off traffic. Vehicle would not move. Family of four in vehicle. Had a police officer shut down lane of traffic. Very very dangerous. Diagnosis: timing chain.

Car will stall at various speeds, sometimes will completely die or will go off for 10-30 seconds, turning signals will occasionally work but will go out. No codes will show up when tested, so the cause is unknown.

Electrical system starting to act up (every dashboard light comes on) causing the vehicle to lose power and stall while driving. Steering power was lost and brakes became very soft. Happens at random speeds from 20mph and up to 65mph. Very scary! I have a child and I couldn't get my hazard lights to come on until the electrical calmed down. Was nearly rear-ended multiple times with a child in the vehicle. Finally had to replace the throttle body on the vehicle which is very expensive.

The contact owns a 2002 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the repairs were unknown. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 141,000. D.

While driving 30 mph vehicle lost power and stalled. Consumer pulled over, and had the vehicle towed. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

When coming to a stop the vehicle chuggs (surges) and acts like it is going to stall. This problem has been looked at by the dealer and they basically say "all systems operating as intended". This situation is very similar to complaint number 567762.
