The driver's seat heater malfunctioned burning a hole through the upholstery and my sweater as I drove my 2 minutes to work. I turned the heat seat on the lowest setting for warmth and within the commute from home to work, it malfunctioned. There is a 2 cm hole in my car seat and my sweater has burn marks on it. I turned off the heater as soon as I felt the over heating on my rearend, but it was too late.
I was sitting at a red light in my brand new 2005 Saturn Vue and was hit from behind by a medium-sized transit bus at approx. 35-40 mph. The damage to the rear of the car was extensive and resulted in the total loss of the car. My concern is that the front driver's seat broke during the accident. The back of the seat collapsed and fell back into the back seat. The seat almost totally broke underneath and twisted to the left. I was the lone occupant in the car and suffered numerous abrasions, bruises, cuts, bumps, and sprains, as well as back and neck pain. I was wearing my seat belt and still hit the steering wheel, causing me to get cuts on my lips and face. The majority of the injuries to my body were on the left side.
Was driving to work and we had a lite snow the night before. I hit a slick spot on highway and lost control of the car and hit a telephone poll. The car is now totaled, the front end was completely torn off, drivers seat broke, windshield shattered and was partially on the dash. The airbag did not deploy. This resulted in a head concussion, torn right shoulder and badly bruised knees along with minor cuts to hands and face. The man who towed it away also wondered about this. I'm wondering if there was a recall that I haven't been able to find on my 2005 Saturn Vue?.
