2008 SATURN VUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT STEERING WHEEL FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE, I TRIED TO USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE CAR. IT DID NOTHING. I USED THE KEY THEN TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THE DOME LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. HOWEVER, THE CAR STARTED UP WITH THE SECOND TURN OF THE KEY. AFTER DRIVING HOME, THE KEY FOB WORKED AGAIN ALONG WITH THE DOME LIGHTS. WHILE DRIVING AT SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, THE RADIO WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CLOCK WILL RESET TO MIDNIGHT AND THE CALENDAR WILL RESET. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE ENGINE IS FIRST STARTED. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.

THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND, STABILITY, ANTISKID LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANTLY. THE CAR WILL DIE AND RESTART W HIKE DRIVING. THE AC BLOWS FROM BOTTOM HEATER VENTS. BATTERY WILL ACTS AS IF DEAD UNTIL I BANG TERMINAL WITH A HAMMER

WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND IT STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WON'T SHIFT GEARS. I AM NOW WITHOUT A CAR. ITS CODE PO700 AND PO752. THE FIRST IS TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER AND THE LATER IS SHIFT SOLENOID. TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN WAVE PLATE BREAKS. CAR IS PAID FOR AND I LIKE IT. CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. I AM DISABLED NOW WITHOUT WHEELS AND NO WAY TO FIX IT. IS IT A RECALL? CAN THE AGENCY HELP FIX IT?

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.
