SATURN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. UPDATED 11/29/16*LJ *TR

I CARRIED MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AFTER GETTING A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER MODULE AND SENSOR. THE COST QUOTE WAS OVER $1200.00. IT IS BEING REPAIRED AS I WRITE. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS DANGEROUS, SINCE MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 54,000 MILES, AND BASED ON THE ENORMOUS COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 SATURN L. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT SMOKE FROM THE HOOD AND SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

2007 SATURN AURA. CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND HE COULD SMELLED GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 493.35. *JB

POSSIBLE LEAK IN AREA OF FUEL TANK, STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I BELIEVE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN ION (RECALL NUMBER 12V459000).
