1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2019

Vehicle hasn't retained correct amount of fuel. Vehicle has electrical and mechanical issues out of no where. Driver seat has issues that will not allow for the seat to incline but only recline which happened while driving on city street. I'm scared to drive vehicle and I've only had it for almost 2 years.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2017

When it snows my driveway is on a hill and my car is in park it rolls backwards down the hill and ill look outside to find it moved from were I left it. Now for the last few weeks if I park at the store, school,job and get ready to go try to shift the car on drive when I step on the brake to shift it I hear and feel click sound and cant move the gear.

3 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2017

"takata recall" my 2008 Saturn Vue has been recalled for 3 items, all of which I am experiencing issues with but according to my VIN number my vehicle does not apply for these recalls. I did receive a notice a few years ago but since my vehicle was still okay at the time, I never brought it in. The 3 recalls are as follows: 1. Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch, 2. Power train:automatic transmission, 3. Steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections. My vehicle is currently at mike anderson chevrolett due to these issues but the only item that's appearing covered is the transmission. I don't understand how my VIN has anything to do with the recall when all the 2008 Saturn Vue's are made with the same parts. I would like an investigation to be made due to my vehicle falling under the recall category but not falling under the correct VIN number category. My vehicle currently won't allow me to go pass 40mph, my steering wheel gets locked making it hard for me to turn and there is a leak, also when my locks are unlocked the handles still won't open as if it's still locked. Immediate attention is respectfully requested.

N/a.

5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2008

I bought this car April 23, and the following week I began to have problems. At 200 miles the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the evap canister. But I was also experiencing problems with the automatic transmission trying to switch gears. The vehicle would hesitate when I pressed down on the gas and then it would redline and kick in to the next gear. But it would not stay constant. The vehicle would abruptly downshift on flat ground and on slight grades. The dealership said the problem was fixed, but as I drove off it happened again. I ended up having to schedule another appt for them to look at the vehicle. Then when they looked at it again they said the computer system in the vehicle wasn't working correctly so they said they fixed it. Well when I drove off about 25 miles down the road the problem occurred again. When I try to slow down the brake pedal would go to the floor. I have almost been in a few accidents because of this. The problem occurred at 30mph-60mph. It also rolls back when in the drive way or at a slight incline at a stop sign/light. This vehicle is not safe. Im schedule for another appt. Once again to try and resolve the problem.
