2008 SATURN VUE Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH AT ABOUT 1500-2000 RPMS THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT WAS USING THE MANUAL MODE. IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP TOO BY THE END OF MY 200 MILE DRIVE TODAY IT WAS SLIPPING BAD AND IT HAS FLUID I TOPPED IT OFF THIS MORNING HOPING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT AND I CONSISTENTLY CHECKED IT THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE AND IT DID NOT GO DOWN OR LOSE FLUID.

MY VEHICLE'S TIMING CHAIN BROKE WITH ONLY 88,000 MILES. CAUSING ME TO BE STRANDED AND NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE SOMETIMES ON, SOMETIMES NOT ON OR SOME OF THE LIGHTS COME ON BUT NOT OTHERS. WE THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SYSTEM.

MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE NUT SECURING THE POWER STEERING LINE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY LOOSEN. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THERE MAY BE A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. SATURN WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

THE CAR SHAKES/VIBRATES WHEN HITTING 45/50 MPH AND GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEED. WHEN I ACCELERATE THE SHAKE IS BAD. FIND IT VIBRATES ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES, DID THE BALANCE AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT. REPLACED MOTOR/TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. REPLACED BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS AND STILL THIS CAR SHAKES VERY BADLY. 3 AUTO REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS NECESSARY TO REPAIR. MY FAMILY TRAVELS IN THIS CAR AND I NEED ANSWERS. PLEASE ADVISE *TR

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES(BOTH SIDES) AND WIRE HARNESS KEEPS MELTING. I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE NOW PURCHASED THE WIRE HARNESS AND I HOPE THIS WILL NOT BURN ALSO. 2. THE CAR JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING IN REVERSE WHICH INDICATES THE PARKING PAWL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND NO RESPONSE RETURNED. 3. WATER IS LEAKING INTO MY CAR. THE FRONT AND BACKSEAT FLOORS ARE SOAKED. LOOKS LIKE THE SEAL AROUND THE FIREWALL IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY. I SAW MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2008-2010 SATURN VUE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR UNLESS THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED

THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING. MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE SOAKED WITH SOME MOLD. I HAVE VACUUMED THE WETNESS UP MANY TIMES. THE INSIDE OF MY WINDOWS HAVE HEAVY CONDENSATION ON THEM, THAT HAS ACTUALLY FROZEN. BECAUSE OF THE WET FLOORS.

I BOUGHT A 2008 SATURN VUE USED AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A VIBRATION. HAD IT CHECKED BY 4 MECHANICS INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO CONCLUDED IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 2007 MODEL BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2007 AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT VIBRATES MAINLY WHEN PICKING UP SPEED.

THE TRANSMISSION JUST UP AND STOPS WORKING. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF, WAIT 10-15 MINUTES AND IT WILL CONTINUE AGAIN, UP UNTIL IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN. IT HAPPENS UNDER POWER OR CRUISING. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER & WHEREVER IT WANTS.
