Wiper problems of the 2008 Saturn VUE

The front windshield fluid will not spray onto the windshield.

The heating and ventilation is not functioning properly. This vehicle has automatic climate control. This same condition occurred under the extended warranty. The fan is able to be variably controlled for speed. The cold/hot selector does not change the temperature. The mode selector for the air distribution is stuck on vent mode. I have no heat or front defroster. The warranty fix was a computer re-flash the the h. V. A. C. Programmer. This has been ongoing for 7 days. Static or moving matters not. I do believe all motor vehicle ventilation systems should default to defroster mode! regards, m4rk.

It's my turn signals my locks and my flashers headlights.

I have had electrical and climate control problems since I bought this car. Most of the a/c components have been replaced. Now I don't have any a/c at all. I've also had heating problems that required two different repairs which were very expensive. My car is garage kept, well maintained and it only has 30,000.

The passenger wiper arm disconnected from the motor while I was driving in the rain. Lucky I was near my home at the time.

1. Engine would stall when turn on have to turn the key twice at any location. 2. Power steering when out driving on the freeway 3. Door handle on my driver side came off.

On a rainy day the wipers will stop working then eventually start back up. While using the delay wipers they would work half the time, sometimes go fast, and even stop. You just never know if they will work which is really scary on heavy rains.

I have reported this to the dealership with my warranty an know it has expired an my car is getting worse itis completely pulling back while driving I feel like my life is in danger I need some help. .

The Saturn Vue I own is a 4 cylinder and the heater core is cracked just as gm's document id[xxx] describes. I started to smell antifreeze coming from the vents, on about 9-3 we have gone to a restaurant that night and when we came out to go home, the inside of the windshield was fogged up, I tried to use the defrost setting to clear the windshield but it had no effect, I had no rag to wipe the inside of the windshield so I wiper it with my hand to get some visibility, I was forced to stop several times on the way home to clear the windshield by hand. I called Saturn gm concerning the issue and they had me take the car to a gm dealer who confirmed that the heater core is cracked. Gm claims they have a customer satisfaction program to fix this issue so the heater core will not crack but they claim that my car is not in the programs group. The program reroutes the heater hoses so that internal pressure build up is reduced to a safe level and prevents the heater core from cracking the programs number is #09206a. From what I can find out the program started in 2009 and was to end 1-2011 but it has now been extended to 1-31-2012. As I said above they claim that the defect is for a group of Vues with serial numbers 8s500002 to 8s645537 which would not include my car. If you read #09206a it describes what has happen to my heater. They state in this document " we have learned that your 2008 model year Saturn Vue, equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, may have been built with a heater core that could eventually fracture due to pressure fluctuations within the heater core. If the heater core fractures, you would notice a strong coolant smell, vapor or mist coming out of the heater vents, and or an oily film on the windshield. " this is what is happening to my Vue confirmed by the gm dealer and reported to gm. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while driving, the windshield wipers stopped functioning and the driver began to hear a clunking noise. The contact inspected the vehicle and realized that the plastic bushing was cracked. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the wipers transmission was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 81,782 and the current mileage was 81,800.

When I'd use the windshield wipers, I lose all power to the drivers side headlight and the blinker would not work,all while the fluid is running out the back windshield wper connection. I had the Vue in for the same issue 4 times and was told this was a warranty issueat the beginning and when they finally fixed the grounding box and replaced the so called lifetime headlamp, I was charged 364. 00. Not warranty covered. This started at around 36,000. Gm screwed us Saturn owners big time.
