While drive southbound in the middle lane on I-95 during morning rush hour traffic. I noticed a slight shake in the steering for approximately 2 seconds before my vehicle started to fishtail towards the left and right with tractor trailers on both sides of me. I pushed in the clutch and the brake and placed my vehicle in neutral to slow my vehicle down while attempting to move over to the right shoulder of the road.
My cars hubcaps have fell off several times and j can't find a size that fits 2 of them so I don't have any. My ignition switch gets stuck while parked and I've been locked out if my car several times. There are times where it won't turn at all and I have to lock the steering wheel and try to jiggy the key forever. The key doesn't turn all the way to the off switch and the key can be removed while driving. Now my passenger side door won't up. I use the key to unlock the door and the thing pops up but the door won't open and since I only have one door with a key hole all the other doors stay locked as well. So I've spent hundreds on locksmiths or I have to keep pulling the handle or banging on the door or my husband pushes the door an shakes the entire car. This is embarrassing and frustrating as well as dangerous since j can't lock my doors. Sometimes when I leave the doors unlocked they lock on their own after I walk away. I have to crawl through the passengers side door to get in when the drivers door won't open. This car has a mind of its own!.

Front wheel bearings failed. Replaced.
My 2006 Saturn Vue started experiencing vibration while braking and jerking of the steering wheel during deceleration, making it very difficult to control at high speeds. I was advised the rotors needed to be "shaved" by the dealership; however, I declined this offer since my Vue had less than 25,000 miles on it. I ask that Saturn replace the rotors under manufacturer's warranty.
