2009 Saturn Vue. Driver states the engine stalled repeatedly, keys became stuck in ignition and the airbag and stability lights came on.
While driving down road acceleration slowed, all instrument panel lights came on, loss full power steering & brake functions, no turn signals, brake lights, fuel gauge went to empty, messages on driver air bag, stabilitrak,tire air pressure,abs, everything was flashing. All instrument panel lights were on, radio stopped, sudden increased acceleration then decreased again. I got pulled over to a parking lot (which was very hard with brake pedal going to floor & steering almost impossible), turned off car & removed key. Still had all (4) open door lights on and all the doors were shut. They stayed on more than 5 minutes before finally going off. I sat there 30 minutes before trying to start the car again. When I started it everything was working again as if it had reset itself. Yesterday August 31, 2015 was the third time this same thing has happened to me while driving at 45 mph or more. This is extremely dangerous as I drive daily on heavily traveled parkways. Dealerships can not find a problem when I take it to them. They just want to reset the electrical system. It just occurs again so that is not the solution. Need help getting this resolved.

2009 Saturn Vue xr. In December 2010 I noticed interior and exterior lights would occasionaly start flickering, approx. 2 hz rate. Problem was intermittent; several repair shops said "probably a short. . . " but I never had anyone actually try to troubleshoot. On Jan 15 2011 I noticed that the driver's side sun visor spindle was very hot to the touch. I was concerned that it might get hot enough to start a fire. I took the visor down from the headliner, hoping to find a connector for the wires, but it was hard wired, so I snipped and taped off the wires and remounted the visor. The flickering problem has not returned, so I believe the two to be related.

I purchased my 2009 Saturn Vue xr v6 a year ago. After driving my Saturn during the 1st month I began to notice the a/c was blowing warm air when I was needing to cool the inside of the cabinet . We had very hot consecutive days in n. C with temperatures reaching in access of 100 degrees. I had no choice but to let the windows down to survive the heat. I am angry with gm now as they are appearing to ignore this problem with no recall in sight to date. I understand that gm has reported to have repaid at least 30 percent of tarp money they received from the government bailout and reported billions in profit. Gm needs to step up to the plate and address and fix this problem with the Saturn Vue. The fastest and cheapest from of advertising in still word of mouth. I will express to my friends , family and strangers I meet with my displeasure with the gm product. The a/ c problem with my Saturn Vue occurs everytime I turn on the unit. A cabin sensor unit was replace once to fix the problem ; however, the problem still exist. I am not happy making monthly payments for my Saturn Vue with this problem continuing to exist with my a/c.
