While drive southbound in the middle lane on I-95 during morning rush hour traffic. I noticed a slight shake in the steering for approximately 2 seconds before my vehicle started to fishtail towards the left and right with tractor trailers on both sides of me. I pushed in the clutch and the brake and placed my vehicle in neutral to slow my vehicle down while attempting to move over to the right shoulder of the road.

My cars hubcaps have fell off several times and j can't find a size that fits 2 of them so I don't have any. My ignition switch gets stuck while parked and I've been locked out if my car several times. There are times where it won't turn at all and I have to lock the steering wheel and try to jiggy the key forever. The key doesn't turn all the way to the off switch and the key can be removed while driving. Now my passenger side door won't up. I use the key to unlock the door and the thing pops up but the door won't open and since I only have one door with a key hole all the other doors stay locked as well. So I've spent hundreds on locksmiths or I have to keep pulling the handle or banging on the door or my husband pushes the door an shakes the entire car. This is embarrassing and frustrating as well as dangerous since j can't lock my doors. Sometimes when I leave the doors unlocked they lock on their own after I walk away. I have to crawl through the passengers side door to get in when the drivers door won't open. This car has a mind of its own!.

I had been out to lunch and was pulling into a parking place in my workplace parking lot. I eased into the parking space and nudged the gas to get completely in the space. When I nudged the gas, my car accelerated on its own with such a force the car went over a concrete barrier in the parking space and I then hit a brick and concrete wall that was knocked down. An iron railing was on top of the concrete and that got smashed as well. My car was moving at such a fast and furious speed I had no control over it. As a result, my car was totaled due to the repairs that were necessary. This exact thing happened exactly three years ago in this car and it was the same situation. I was pulling into a parking place at a shopping mall and as I eased on the gas to pull into the space, again, my car accelerated out of control and I hit a truck that was in the space in front of where I was pulling in and my car stopped when it hit the car next to the truck. My car was repairable. Thankfully, both of these times I was in the car alone. I have called gm/Saturn and made a complaint with them.
Cars shakes at speeds above 50.

While dricing on the freeway with children in the car, the rear differential broke, making steering extremely difficult. It felt as if we were going to flip, I slowly moved over and luckily we were able to stop before a horrific accident occured. Once we stopped we got out to find the passenger rear tire tilted inward and undrivable. After taking it to the shop we found that the rear differential and frame broke as well as the control arms. This seems to be a known problem on these vehicles and is completely unsafe for anyone to be driving a recall needs to be done on this again to ensure the safety of our families.
Tamara recall , the key came out of the ignition while the car was on. We brought it to the dealership and the confirmed it but would not fix it or send us anywhere to get it fixed. Our abs went the 3rd week we had the car, the dealership refused to even look at it. The other recall made our tires only hold air for a few days at a time.
Started smoking the 1st time. Replaced brakes,rotors and break caliper on passenger's side. Ran and drove fine for about 1 week and did it again. All brakes and all that was replced were smoking hot and brown in color letting me know that all parts over heated. My car has been parked since 2014 and not used until I hear a recall. I already know this problem will arise continually by all the information I have found. Dealerships can't even find the problem. What does that tell you.

I bought this 2007 Saturn Vue v6 awd in July 2012 from brighton Ford, brighton mi noticed a slight vibration when test driving. Less than a week after I buy it the ac goes out, and the shuttering gets worse. Take it back to them to look at and get referred to a tire shop. Was told the ac coil had a huge leak, and was probably "topped off" at by the dealer and that there was some tire wear issues. Brighton Ford refused to fix anything. Drive it for about a year the shuttering gets worse and worse take it in to bud kouts Chevrolet, lansing, mi for a check engine light that came on, it was because of a miss fire in two of the cylinders. Told them about the shuttering, was told nothing was wrong. 28 days later I have a tire explode, told there was nothing wrong. Take it back after finding a huge hole in the shock absorber casing. This time speaking with the dealership owner directly, after two days they finally found the cause of the shuttering, a bad torque converter. They admitted that this is an issue on the these vehicles, but still want about $2000 to fix it. If there is not a recall on this there should be. I will never by a gm made vehicle again. I've owned three now and have had nothing but problems with them. The Subaru I owned had well over 200,000 miles and no issues the same goes for a Mazda I owned.
While driving 20 mph heard a clunk by the back rear passenger tire, the top of the right rear tire was tilted in. Appeared to have a broken lateral arm which was attached to the frame. If I would have been going any rate of speed this could have been a serious issue. I feel this is a serious safety hazard. I contacted Saturn who took my claim and admitted there was a recall on the lateral arm in 2005. This supposely was taken in to a dealership and fixed. I didn't own this vehicle then. Saturn refuses to be responsible for this issue and said it very likely couldve been a faultly part but since it has been taken care of in 2005 no longer responsible. I feel I could have killed myself, lost control and/or hurt someone else if I would have lost control.
Defective wheel bearings. I have replaced the front wheel bearings four times now (each front wheel twice) beginning around 40,000 miles. I currently have a little over 70,000 miles. They could cause a wheel to seize.
Front wheel bearings failed. Replaced.
Over the past year, I have had several instances where the "check engine" light comes on and the car just shuts down and won't start up. I have also had the low coolant light come on and was leaking anti-freeze, which I kept on filling up. Once it was towed to the dealer and when they went to look at it the next morning, it started right up and they could not figure out what was wrong. Another time I left it and when I came back, it started right up. In both of those instances, I was driving less than 40 mph and was able to get to the side of the road safely. The 3rd time that the car died, I was traveling 65 mph on an interstate when the car suddenly died, without any warning. I had just enough time to pull over to the side of the road and avert an accident. I bought a new car, because I was afraid to drive this one and it has been sitting in my driveway for 8 weeks. I recently had the Vue towed to a different dealership. They said that I need a new timing belt and water pump. They also say that I need to have an I-bolt pulley, belt tensioner, alternator, and serpentine belt replaced. Other repairs that are needed are a front sway bar links and the bearing on the drive shaft. This car has only 92,000 miles.

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.
Consumer was unable to keep the vehicle on the road while driving, it swerved. This was due to the rubber on the rear wheels wearing out. The vehicle is currently at the dealership.
Bad weather conditions (rain) car hit side guard on highway, rear wheel snapped off causing roll over - resulted in injury to driver - car totally destryoed.
As I was driving on the highway, my vehicle drifted onto the grassy shoulder. Without hitting my brakes, I steered back onto the road. The rear end of my vehicle fish-tailed slightly. As this was happening, the driver's back wheel bent underneath the vehicle causing it to roll over, passenger side first, onto the side of the highway. During the roll-over, none of my airbags deployed, both driver- side tires blew, both axles bent, the tops of the passenger-side doors crumpled, the passenger-side windows shattered, and the roof crumpled like a crushed aluminum can. I received numerous injuries, including neck/back/shoulder strains, broken ribs and damage to my right knee and ankle.
