Equipment Problems of Saturn VUE - part 2

On Friday October 26, 2018, my battery died. I had it replaced after the tow company diagnosed it. It was later discovered that the alternator was malfunctiong. My car on a busy intersection just died with on coming heavy traffic. I could not move or put it in nuetural to move it. It had to be jumped in order to clear the dangerous situation. My concern that the car just locked up, no power or ability to move. I could not use my hazard lights. A very unsafe situation. The vehicle was in motion and then I was accelerating then all of a sudden everything went dark. Please advise of what type of documentation you will need for this file? I am just writing because this was a safety related malfunctioning that was life threatening.

I have automatic door locks. They lock after I shift out of park. I started to leave my yard the realized I forgot something in my home. Proceeded to park. Got the item and tried to put it in the drivers side back seat and the back door would not open either from out side nor the inside. So that is where it is to date. Car in my yard sitting still.

(motion) (highway at 70mph) cars key slides out of ignition when in the on position. (stationary) (driveway) have had problems starting vehicle, ie. Couldn't get the car to turn over as well as key sticking and being difficult to move - this made me think initially that it was altenator or battery. After letting the car sit a bit, and a lot of wiggling of the key, was finally able to start vehicle. These are the same problem gm had with earlier models and had to make a recall on. Yet there is not recall on the 2007? what happened to safety standards. I have not had it shut off on me while in motion yet. But I would not be surprised.

While driving on the freeway the car would beep 3 time while lights flash on the dash. I would lose power steering and the engine would shut off. . . . Usually would start back up if I waited long enough. This has happened to me quite a few times. I have been also on a street going 35 miles an hour and same thing would happen. The last time I tried to drive it I put my keys in and cant get them out. .

Now this is like the 5th time I think I have wrote a letter to this company and no one has answered me I've had problems with my car being parked on a hill and it rolls backwards when no one's inside of it and other little things thats on the Saturn recall but my car is not on the list. But now I'm having a problem with my back door not shutting when I shut it it opens unexpectently. In the words of car talk it's called 1. Transmission case porosity at park pawl 2. Outside door handle sticks/bind. Also the interior lights on the trans stick is out, my warning dash boards light come in for no reason 1st it was oil light which I received an oil change a month ago and now it's the check engine light, car alarm goes off when the back door acts up. Now I hope to here from someone soon. I might go to the news cause I need help and you people not helping so that might make u move faster. But if I die of my car rolls away and kills one of these kids outside I will sue you people so hard. Waiting for an awser bye. Fyi ive been having problems with this car since I bought it in 2014.

Timing chain loose/danger of excelaration on highway.

Electrical system discharges battery. Once overheated the wiring causing the insulation to melt. Another time caused the battery acid to overflow/leak. Once drove to a location and when attempted to restart battery completely dead.

Air bag light goes on an off on passenger side. Now air bag light stays on all the time. It happened when car was moving and stopped. Took it to shop to get it checked out said it is a defective impact sensor an unable to verify if air bag works . Am getting it replaced as soon as I get the money, just replaced catalatic converter at only 72000 miles. Dealer replaced it for 260. 00 plus part 1200. 00.

Each time this occurred the vehicle was stationary/being parked, on 6-10 different occasions in the past 2 years, the key has gotten locked tight in the ignition switch. This caused the battery to run down and die on more than a few occasions. Once the key was frozen in place, after the engine was off, the key would not move in any direction and the steering was locked tight unable to move at all, the gear shift column was unable to be put in park. Other times the key would just be stuck in the ignition switch and could not be removed, regardless of effort to remove it, also not allowing the vehicle to be place into the gear of park. This problem has cause us to abandon the vehicle more than once, this is dangerous & should be addressed. I see other recalls on other Saturn models but not the Vue 2007, which does have a defect in this area and needs to be recalled. For the record the car key and the remote are the only things on my key chain, so the weight of the key chain is not the problem. This happened twice in the last 3 weeks.

2008 Saturn Vue this is the 3rd time im writing a complaint I havent heard anything back no call no letter from anyone at the recall. But my truck in the winter it has trouble going up a low hill while driving it and when its sitting on a hill parked ill look outside and find it sitting at the bottom of the hill. When its parked and I try to shift the gear to drive to go the stick locks up and it wouldnt move. And when driving on a street with not much snow I can feel the back of the car slide. If I dont hear anything back I will be going to the news for help.

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.

Takata recall this afternoon, the airbag warning light came on and stayed on. I was not moving. Previously, the electrical system went out and was costly to repair, had to be towed from pittsburgh to cleveland.

My car is having a problem thats on the recall list but my VIN# dont match. 1. Transmission case porosty park power my driveway is on a hill and when it snows ill come outside and find my car at the bottom of the hill and then its hard to get it back up the hill even gunning it up does not work so ill leave it down there. 2. When the ground is wet from rain or snow I get stuck at the stop light I have to gun it to move the wheels spin out then I can go. 3. The stick that control the drive/parking gets stuck ill have to turn my car off and back on or pump the brakes couple times real hard to unlock the stick. Ive had my car since 2015 of April so it happens in at the winters and rainy days since then to now. Thank you.

Key is sticking in ignition. Havw to giggle it to get it to turn and start up.

When vehicle starts passager dash board makes tickong sound for about 2 min and stops. Passager seat will not go back latch does not work.

Stopped at a red light. . . When it green and time to drive the gas moved by the car was a complete stop and it wont not move foward or backwards. . . Leaving me and my 2 toddlers stuck into on coming traffic.

My Saturn Vue, year 2007, is making a screeching sound coming from the area of the transmission on startup and gets louder on acceleration. The rpm is overly amped. On acceleration if stutters or feels like it's skipping between gears. This takes place on starting the car to driving on city streets or the highway.

The ignition locks and can not turn key with out jerking and beating the sterring wheel. You can't put the ingition in the off position. Key can be removed while engine is running. My VIN # was not listed on the recall list but other same make and model vehicles were in with this recall. I need this fixed please. I have had this vehicle for 2 years.

2007 Saturn Vue will not got into park. Makes a thump noise when put into reverse and no problems going into drive.

The key falls out while driving and the car won't start sometimes.

Drove my car to a friend's and when I had to leave my car would not go forward. Or backwards and I was in the middle of on coming traffic. Couldnt check transmission fluid there isn't a dip stick. So lucky I had someone with me to push it back to my friends.

Reference # 10945589, forgot to mention vehicle is not and has not show warning light about this. . . . Exp. . No check engine. . .

"takata recall". My mechanic found a faulty takata airbag while diagnosing a horn problem. My VIN is not on the airbag recall list or the ignition switch recall list. Also the faulty ignition switch is causing security system issues and causing my horn relay to stay permanently in the on position which is draining my battery to nothing. How do I get my VIN added to these lists so that these parts can be replaced under the recall?.

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 hose for the moon roof drains are leaking causing mold and electrical issues in the Vue. We had the hoses replaced twice but the problem keeps happening. Electrical issues have caused issues with starting, instrument panel, etc.

Was on a street stopped at a light , went to go and would not move , started to move again got a little ways down the street and it stopped again was able to get off the side but it would not move again. Called a tow truck . Its the tramsmission.

My Vue went out of control, after I slammed on the brakes, it took off like a rocket , going faster and faster up to 90 miles per hour, it would not stop and would not slow down, I threw it into neutral, after 1 min the engine died, and I coasted for a few min.

We were passing a truck, then the throttle stuck and the vehicle would not slow down , we finally got it in neutral and pulled over. This was very scary. And now my electrical is all messed up. I am scared to drive it. I don"t have the money to get it repaired. I now have to take the bus or bum a ride. I paid $6500 for this car. . Any chance I can get help from gm. I really like the car. But feel it is to danger ous to drive. I am a 24 year old single mom. Help! thanks. Hannah grisedale.

Ignition switch ongoing saga. Had the switch replaced 3 times - all at my cost all within one year. Had the key housing replaced a year 1/2 ago - key now hanging up again in the ignition. Last night couldn't remove the key at all and wouldn't be able to move my car. Fortunately happened in my garage and not a parking lot at night where I wouldn't be safe. It's not covered under all of the other known ignition switch recalls.

Had 2010 Saturn Vue back to dealer 3times under warranty . A/c freezes up and half to shut off to thaw . Then will blow cold for a few minutes until freezes up again. Always puddle under car in garage from lines thawing. Now out of warranty and still have same problem. Want to take on trip if someone can figure out the problem.

2008 Saturn Vue, liftgate gas struts that hold the liftgate up when open. These struts failed and the open liftgate suddenly falled and unexpectedly it strikes me on head. Car was parked in level driveway and I just open it up - 7 seconds later it crushed my head. Very unstable and dangerous to close without gas struts it's too heavy and slams closed.
