Fuel rail ruptured. Gas fumes were overpowering. Leaked gas as we drove to the dealership (could have started a fire).
The metal gas feed line within the engine compartment split and failed ejecting significant quantities of raw gasoline onto the engine and onto other components. Smelled gas fumes inside of car when stopped for traffic. Gas was pounding on engine within the engine compartment. Had car towed to dealer for repair.
2004 Vue multiple issues. . . First issue less then 100 miles on vehicle, depressed brakes car continued to creep at stop sign. Diagnostics at Saturn dealership: split in brake line, replaced under warranty. Second issue: less then 300 miles on vehicle, quick stop caused rear seat safety harness to become disconnected from vehicle wall. . Daughter was not restrained and slid forward in seat. Saturn diagnostics: someone was not doing their job the day it was made. . . They tightened screw back into wall of car and have not had issues since. . . This was uncalled for and should have been caught during safety inspection. Third issue: saw details on news about recall on this model of Vue, contacted Saturn dealership about it and was told that we would be getting information in the mail about repairs. Fourth issue: about 20,000 on Vue, went to store and was functional, came out and car would not start, over half a tank of gas in vehicle and gauge shows empty, bought gas can and put 5 more gallons of gas in car. Still shows empty and car would not start, no word on reason for failure beaches it happened today (10/23/05).
