2007 Saturn Vue complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH SHE WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES AND GOES . THEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST UP AND DIED. HAD TO RESTART IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT NOT PICK UP SPEED WHEN I PUSH THE PEDDLE . AFTER RAMS DROP THEN I CAN PICK UP SPEED THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE HAD GOING ON FOR A WHILE. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHY. *TR

LIKE OTHER CARS IN THE IGNITION RECALL, WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON THE CAR THE WHEEL IS LOCKED, I NEED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I PRESS ON THE GAS. I CAN ALSO TAKE THE KEY OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. GM WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND MY MILEAGE IS OVER 100K. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS TURNING ON WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND THE DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE HEARD THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. WE ALSO HAD THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE RANDOMLY AS WE ARE DRIVING. *TR

THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN WHILE IN THE IGNITION OR IT WAS HARD GETTING IT OUT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION TUMBLERS AND WIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

THE KEY HAS HAD MANY INSTANCES OF TROUBLE INSERTING OR REMOVING FROM THE IGNITION. THE KEY CAN ALSO BE REMOVED WHILE IN ANY OF THE POSITIONS. AT TIMES THE KEY ALSO HAS TROUBLE TURNING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS. SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY SIMILAR MODEL YEAR SATURN VEHICLES ARE HAVING. I VENTURE THE PROBLEM IS IMPACTING MORE VEHICLES THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE LONGER IT CAN PUSH OF THE REPAIR THE LESS COSTLY IT IS TO THE COMPANY. *TR

IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OVER THE YEARS. IT CAN EASILY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. KEY CAN COME OUT OF IGNITION NO MATTER IF THE KEY IS NEW, A COPY, OR SHOWING ANY WEAR. I HAVE NEVER KEPT ANYTHING OTHER THAN ONE HOUSE KEY AND THE MANUFACTURER'S FAB ATTACHED SINCE I FIRST TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,591. UPDATED 9/11/14*CN UPDATED 1/20/2015 *JS

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS SOMETIMES DON'T COME ON AND THE RADIO WILL BE ON BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT BUT THERE IS NO DISPLAY OR LIGHTS, IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES I CAN USUALLY GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE KEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE KEY WAS REPLACED, I REPLACED THE KEY BUT THE DEFECT RECURRED. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS, WHENEVER I GO TO TRY AND START THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THE CAR. *TR

KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE IGNITION IS NOT IN THE OFF POSITION AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE KEY FELL FROM THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING...I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND I CAN PULL THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. *TR

THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 40 MILES. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A COMPLETE DEALER SERVICE I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A SENSOR WAS BAD ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THEY DECLINED AND TOLD ME THAT "THINGS SOMETIMES WEAR OUT" I CONTACTED GM REGIONAL THEY DECLINED TO FIX THIS UNDER WARRANTY. SO I RELUCTANTLY PAID FOR THE REPAIR TOTALING $968.52. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WRONG AND A FAILURE OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

WHEN PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL FINALLY IT MAKES AN AUDIBLE CLICK AND I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR BUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE TIME I DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOME TIMES IT ONLY TAKES A FEW TURNS, OTHER TIMES I REPEATEDLY REMOVE THE KEY AND PLACE IT BACK IN THE IGNITION UNTIL IT IS ABLE TO ROTATE AND START THE CAR. *JS

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY A LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT CONFIRMED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103,000...UPDATED 06/17/14 *BF UPDATED 8/23/2017*CN

WHEN I WAS DRIVING I ACCIDENTALLY PULLED MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND I WAS STILL DRIVING...I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK...I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS A ONE OFF SO I TRIED TO PULL THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IT CAME RIGHT OUT. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON PERIODICALLY. RANDOM AT FIRST, NOW ALMOST EVERY TIME I'M IN THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FIRST NOTICED MY KEY WOULD NOT FIT INTO IGNITION AND AFTER MANY TRIES THE ALARM STARTED BEEPING AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE BIGGEST WORRY HAS BEEN THAT ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, TOOK THE KEY OUT, STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE READY TO WALK AWAY AND REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS PERIODICALLY DON'T COME ON AND THE RADIO, ALTHOUGH I CAN HEAR IT, DOES NOT DISPLAY THE INFORMATION. *TT

MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON PERIODICALLY, WHETHER SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. AT TIMES IT WOULD GO OFF, BUT FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS IT STAYS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, WE DETECTED A "SHORT" IN THE RADIO SYSTEM, AS AT TIMES YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE STATION, AND I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THE STATION CHANGE WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY SELECTOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETECTED IN OTHER MODELS OF SATURNS, IN PARTICULAR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE KEY INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CONTACT INSERTED THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED O THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME INSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNING THE KEY TO TURN ON THE CAR. ONCE I GET THE KEY IN I HAVE TO JIGGLE IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE KEY IS ABLE TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 5-15 MINUTES. HOWEVER LATELY WHEN THE KEY IS FINALLY IN IT GETS STUCK AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO BE RELEASED LEAVING ME STRANDED. I ALSO NOTICED THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND WHILE THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG FAILS TO DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT ACCELERATES ITSELF FOR A MOMENT OR TWO AND IT IS VERY SCARY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I AM SCARED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I DRIVE MY 5 AND 1 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT THIS TIME DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS. MY SATURN VUE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER I REALLY WISH IT WERE BECAUSE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE GM VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE SATURN VUE 2007 IGNITION PROBLEM, AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM, AND ACCELERATING PROBLEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

THE EPS SYSTEM ON THE SATURN VUE IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE - PLEASE FIX THE EPS IS A PAIN TO DRIVE, IT SOMETIMES LAGS IN ITS ASSIST, AND THEN OTHER TIMES OVER CORRECTS. MY DAUGHTER HAS A DIFFICULT TIME WITH IT AND I AM CONCERNED WITH SAFETY. THE CAR JUST SEEMS TO WONDER SOMETIMES AS I DRIVE IT. I WISH GM WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GM EPS SYSTEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND WITHIN A YEAR MY KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY AT ALL TO EITHER TURN ON OR OFF THE VEHICLE OR TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I BELIEVE I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC FIX IT. THEN THE NEXT TIMES IT STARTED HAPPENING, IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DISABLED AND TAKING THEM OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY USING MY OWN CAR. ON AN EXTREMELY HOT DAY(IN THE 90S) MY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION (ALL I DID WAS PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY TO START THE CAR) AND THE INDIVIDUAL I HAD IN THE CAR REFUSED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR (WHICH POSED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO THAT INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE INSIDE THE CAR AT THAT POINT I AM SURE WAS OVER 100 DEGREES). I FINALLY CONVINCED THE INDIVIDUAL TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR. AFTER I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR I CALLED GM TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE.GM FIXED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY KEY (WHICH I HAD ANOTHER KEY MADE TO HOPE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE) A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE IS I WOULD BE: I PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY, IT WOULD PARTIALLY TURN, AND THEN STOP AND I CANNOT MOVE THE KEY AT ALL, EVEN TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT TO "UNLOCK" THE IGNITION. THIS WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. SOMETIMES IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE AND GO BACK TO IT, IT WOULD JUST WORK. OTHER TIMES, IT DIDN'

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON ROAD THAT WAS HAVING SOME ROAD REPAIR ON A ROUGH SECTION I LOST ALL POWER NO STEERING HARD BRAKES . I HAVE HAD THIS PROB SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, THANK YOU *TR

I WENT OUTSIDE ON A COLD MORNING AND ATTEMPTED TO CRANK MY 2007 SATURN VUE. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED INTO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED WHICH CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING AND THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $5,000 TO REPAIR IT. I'VE DONE RESEARCH SINCE THEN AND APPARENTLY GM HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH SATURN VUES BEFORE. TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WEAR OUT, PARTICULARLY NOT AT UNDER 100K MILES. MY VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I HAD NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. IT I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN IT SNAPPED IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OR FATAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED ON SATURN VUES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES IN THE PAST, BUT CLEARLY THE RECALLS NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 MODEL YEAR AND ANY OTHER YEARS AFFECTED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER ADVISED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST 1,000 DOLLARS. *TR

I NEEDED TO USE MY CAR TO DO ROUTINE CHORES, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NEED TO TOW THE CAR IN, PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE. I REFUSE SINCE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. I CALLED A LOCK SMITH WHO INFORMED ME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THESE CARS. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED BY THE LOCK SWITCH. IT GOT STUCK AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND HE REPLACED IT AGAIN, AT MY EXPENSE. IT IS BEGINNING TO STICK AGAIN, WHERE CAN I GO TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT EXPENSE TO ME. *TR

WHILE PARKED NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC WHO FOUND THAT THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP HAD CRACKS ALONG THE TOP PLASTIC CONNECTIONS WHERE THE FUEL LINES ATTACH, AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION OUR MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL HAD BEEN SPRAYING FROM THIS DEFECT AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A FIRE, THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTIONS BEING PLASTIC AND IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT IS ABLE TO GET DAMAGED EASILY IF YOU HIT A HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TANK COMPRESSES AGAIST THE FRAME. AFTER PAYING $850.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED I FOUND OUT THAT SIMILAR GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME TYPE OF DEFECT BUT THE SATURN VUE HAS NOT, WILL IT REQUIRE A FIRE OR DEATH BEFORE THE SATURN IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY SUBDIVISION AND THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS WENT OFF IN MY 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. I SWERVED AND RAN INTO A TREE CAUSING MASSIVE FRONTAL DAMAGE AND THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. MY 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER CHILD CAR SEAT AND WAS OK BUT I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CHEST, KNEE, HIP, AND NOSE CONTUSIONS, STILL HEALING AFTER 4+ DAYS. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS PER ALLSTATE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS TO GO OFF BUT SEE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE ARE MANY AIRBAG ISSUES. VERY MAD AND DEMAND ATTENTION FROM GM SINCE SATURN IS DEFUNCT. *TR

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE GAS AFTER DRIVING. THE SMELL JUST BEGAN TO GET WORSE. UNBEARABLE AT TIMES. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC AND TELLS ME THAT THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP AND IT'S TOO MAJOR OF A JOB TO TAKE ON. SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. FIRESTONE IS WORRIED MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE. I HOPE THE DEALER HAS A BETTER INSIGHT ON THIS. MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR. IT'S VERY UPSETTING. *TR

MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING HOME I BEGAN TO NOTICED SOME SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. BEING ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE HOUSE I PROCEEDED TO THE STOP SIGN. I WAS GOING TO PARK AND CHECK IT OUT THINKING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING MINOR. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN THE CORNER THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED. WHILE AT THE STOP SIGN THE SMOKE QUICKLY IGNITED INTO FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. TURNED OFF TRUCK, JUMPED OUT AND RAN TO THE SIDE YARD FOR THE HOSE. I YELLED OUT FOR MY WIFE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SHE CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND I TRIED TO CONTROL THE FIRE UNTIL THE POLICE AND FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED. I WAS AFRAID THAT IT WOULD EXPLODE AND DAMAGE OTHER CARS AROUND IT. THE FIRE SPREAD UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, UNDER THE CAR AND QUICKLY INTO THE INTERIOR THOUGH THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WE HAD JUST DRIVEN TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLIER THAT DAY IN THE TRUCK AND IT DROVE WELL. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON TO WARN ME OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, FUEL OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE HAZARDS. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MAIL OR EMAIL NOTIFICATION ABOUT RECALLS THAT DISCLOSED A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY I RETRACED MY PATH HOME AND SAW A TRAIL OF FLUID IN THE STREET THAT LEAD TO THE SPOT THAT THE CAR FINALLY ENDED UP IN. SO SOME KIND OF LEAK AND ENGINE FAILURE TOOK PLACE TH

POWER STEERING MAKING A NOISE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 SATURN VUE 2.2L 4-CYL WITH 62,500 MILES. NOTICED RAW GAS SMELL MOST STRONG NEAR THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT LENS. TWICE MECHANICS HAVE CHECKED FOR FUEL LEAKS WITH NO RESULTS AND NO REAL DIAGNOSIS. THERE ARE NO MALFUNCTION CODES OR WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED. WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

ENGINE DIED AT 89,000 MILES ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY FELL APART BOTH OF THEM VALVE WAS BENT, TIMING CHAIN CAME LOOSE JUST WENT TO START VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START TOWED IN TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND FOUND IT TO BE ENGINE I TRIED TO GO THROUGH GM TO HELP WITH THIS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOTHING ELSE HAS WENT WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EVER AND I HAVE HAD OIL CHANGES NO REASON FOR IT TO FALL APART AND 4800 DOLLARS LATER I FEEL IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF I HAVE READ OTHER DEFECTS ON THIS 2.2 LITRE ENGINE OF COARSE NO HELP FROM MANUFACTURER EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2007 CAR THE ENGINE IS MADE SEPARATE FROM WHEN A CAR IS MADE I HAVE NOT HEARD OF TOO MANY VEHICLES WITH A DEAD ENGINE THIS EARLY...

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM MY SATURN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IT IS MOST NOTABLE ONCE I STOP THE CAR AND GET OUT BUT IT IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. I TRACED IT TO AN AREA UP HIGH AND TOWARD THE REAR OF THE GAS TANK. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE STAINING FROM A LEAK ON A PIECE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BELOW THAT AREA. I HAVE LEARNED THE TWO SISTER VEHICLES OF THE SATURN VUE IN 2007, THE PONTIAC TORRENT AND THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX, WERE RECALLED IN CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THE VUE WAS. RECENTLY I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE MY GASOLINE MILEAGE HAS DROPPED FROM AROUND 25 MPG TO JUST BARELY OVER 20 MPG WITH NO CHANGE IN DRIVING OR WEATHER.. *TR

RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN GETTING THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE EMITTING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TRACED THE SOURCE TO THE TOP OF THE TANK, THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH ON LINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ON SEVERAL 2007 GM MODELS WITH THE SAME FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION. SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE VUE HAS NOT. *TR

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. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE CAR, THE IGNITION WON'T TURN UNLESS YOU TRY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. STAYS ON FOR DAYS AT TIMES ,SOMETIMES ONLY 15 _ 30 MINUTES. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ,THEN STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR
