1 Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 2006 Saturn VUE

Failure Date: 02/09/2007

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.

Failure Date: 06/01/2006

With less than 50,000 miles on this vehicle, I have replaced the rotors and the rear wiper motor. The latest failure left me stranded and needed to be towed to the dealer.

Failure Date: 04/18/2006

The contact owns a 2004 Saturn Vue. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle began making a loud noise. On three occasions, the dealer stated that the vehicle did not make enough noise for them to make an unspecified repair. The contact has been able to drive the vehicle despite the noise. The dealer refused to diagnose the computer to determine the cause of the failure. The noise sounded as if a component underneath the vehicle was making contact with the ground.

Updated 07/28/09 the consumer stated the noise was coming from inside the transmission. The front rotors were replaced. Updated 07/31/09.

4 Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 2003 Saturn VUE

Failure Date: 10/03/2005

While braking the vehicle vibrates significantly. The Saturn dealership in hickory, nc looked at the automobile and told me that there was nothing wrong with it. The problem continued to occur and I took the vehicle back to the Saturn place where this time they said the rotors of the vehicle were warped. When I had a local mechanic with more than forty years of experience to "turn" the rotors as suggested it was found that the diagnosis of warped rotors was correct, but the solution of "turning" the rotors wouldn't be able to fix the problem. I now am purchasing new rotors for the vehicle. Please note that there are less than fifty thousand miles on the vehicle and that there were no apparent reasons as to why this situation would occur.

8 Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 2003 Saturn VUE

Failure Date: 09/19/2003

My 2003 fwd Saturn Vue has had constant front-end, steering, and braking issues that could result in a crash. The Vue has 34,000 miles on it. Since 10,000 miles, it has been in the shop nearly every month for loose front end suspension parts, loose steering parts, loose brake parts, etc. The dealership claims they cannot duplicate the problems. Once they are duplicated for them, they claim to replace parts and that the issues are resolved, although there is little or no change in symptoms. The vehicle does not feel safe when driving it, and the current problems may result in a crash.
