While driving at approximately 30 MPH parts of the instrument cluster failed. This included the speedometer, electronic stability control and driver information center. Driver pulled over and turned off the vehicle. Restarting the vehicle did not correct the condition. The vehicle was driven approximately a mile to home and shut off. Starting the vehicle later resulted in the components working properly. Note that on previous occasions the dic (driver information center) has reset itself.

My 2009 Saturn vue hybrid was purchases in jan 2009. Since that time my car battery has died 4 times. When I took it to the Saturn dealer in savannah they said there was nothing wrong with the battery but my hybrid battery had a recall. After 10 days the vehicle was released back to me with a new hybrid battery however, the 12 v continues to die. The gm dealer in hinesville ga said that batteries will die in extreme conditions. I live in se georgia. I have no GPS, radar detector, mps player , dvd player etc plugged into my vue to account for weather or battery drain. I purchased this vehicle to transport my granddaughter to doc appt, soccer, shopping and daycare knowing that by uses a hybrid I was being kinder to the environment. When my battery died last night I contacted on star to r

Since april 2014 our 2009 Saturn vue has experienced a loss of steering assist which requires both hands for steering at low speed. Recently we received a recall for our 2007 GMC acadia. The recall is for the same conditions we experience with our Saturn. As both vehicles have the same power train to the best of my knowledge I believe the recall should be expanded by gm. *tr

Hi my name is [xxx]. I am having difficulties with the power steering in my 2009 Saturn vue xe. This had been on ongoing problem approximately one month. I was instructed to return the car to the dealership for diagnosis. The warranty on my Saturn is no longer needed service. The power steering problem has gotten much more worse over the course of time. It is becoming more and more difficult to maneuver or turn my vue. I am a 65 year old and my strength isn't where it used to be. The first time the steering went out I almost got into an accident. I also understand that there was a recall for my exact car model. Yes, I was told the recall was not for my specific model. But, as times get harder and harder I really don't have the finances to fix this car. Would you guys be willing to extend m

Key would not come out after putting car in park. Took it to myers autoworld, they found the shifter switch was bad.

While I am driving I have had intermittent incidents that cannot be replicated. "stabilitrak" warning light has not turned off. I have lost control of my vehicle while driving twice but was able to pull over after a few seconds. The vehicle will lose power to the dash. When I am turning the steering wheel gets very hard to turn and will turn off the radio. This will cause the car to loose power while driving. Then when I turn the car off I will be unable to get the key out or turn the vehicle on. I will have to restart the vehicle. I have replaced the battery twice and the alternator twice and this helped for 2 months then the problem persisted. I also replaced the wheel sensors to no avail. I have taken to 3 mechanics but they cannot replicate the issue. When the vehicle is in park, I wi

The vehicle has only 122,000 and is in good physical condition, yet the transmission is slipping badly. After doing some investigation, we found out that this is often the case for this model and year after 120,000 miles. We brought it into our local gm dealer/shop and they told us it needs a new transmission, which ranges from rebuilt at $2500 and new for over $4000. This seems very wrong considering kbb says it books for $4500?

The selling dealership lists this vehicles current condition as, "suburb condition." the following inspection comments were provided to me when at this dealership: a) drivers side sun visor broken, doesn't stay in place; b) left front headlight out; c) no heat control (always blowing cold); d) drivers side lumbar adjuster broken off; e) air filter dirty; f) front and rear brakes at 3 mm.

An estimate was provided for parts and labor costs, but did not include parts and labor costs for fixing the heat or the engine leak(s). Also, labor costs were not provided for repairing the lumbar support. The total cost for these repairs is several thousand dollars. Based on thes

Was on interstate with my 10 yr old daughter with me with cruise set at 75mph, lane was merging, so I accelerated to get past a semi to get over. Let up off gas and car kept accelerating faster. Hit brake and nothing happened. Car still kept accelerating. Turned off cruise and laid on brake but car still kept accelerating. Speed reached 110mph and cars were in front of me in all lanes. Finally put in neutral and engine revved up until finally a loud pop noise and it stopped accelerating. This is the 3rd time this has happened since I bought the car a couple of years ago. However this is the first time that I was unable to get it to stop accelerating. I was in fear for the life of my daughter and myself! I took it to the dealership and they were unable to duplicate issue. They recommended

Driving vehicle around 55mph veered off onto loose gravel. Hit a drain culvert flew into the air, slammed down into a ditch, and hit several cut telephone poles used as landscape decorations with no front air bag deployment. Received medical attention and filed police reports. *tr

August 2015 I was on my way home from work around 6:25pm on I-75 the engine started revving and RPM were high and truch felt like I was pushing gas and brake pedal at same time. Check engine light comes on. I thought the transmission was failing. Called onstar for a diagnostic and was told the code is p0340, continue to drive and if more issues take in to dealer. All of a sudden my speed went from 65 to 30 and even though I was flooring gas pedal it would go no more than 20-30 MPH. I frantically, somehow was able to maneuver 5-6 lanes of traffic and pull over onto the shoulder. Needless to say I had to be towed. It was only by the grace of god that I was not hit nor caused someone else to have an accident on I-75 in busy atlanta. I was 50 miles away from home and had to get a ride home

The check engine lights was supposed to be due to a catalytic converter was a sure fix, I paid 700 to replace and a day after picking up from my mechanic it is doing it again. It was hesitant at first but then it started again and got worse. The RPM accelerating but speedometer slowing down. I took it back to my mechanic, he read something to me about the replacement of converter, it said to drive it for 1 hour at high speeds to burn off inside the new converter, reset the light which should fix the problem. I had already driven for 1 hour because I live an hour away. I head home and as I'm getting on the entrance ramp to I-75 something came through my vents and in my throat and chest and I start coughing really bad and tightness in chest. I got up to 55mph and the truck started jerking

1. The interior driver side door handle is "chrome" covered and has caused cuts that required a 'butterfly' stitching. 2. Every time I open the door I get cut 3. I have contacted Saturn for almost a year to repair this to no avail. 1. The tire pressure sensors are on backwards. If my left front tire is going flat the sensors and lights say it's the left rear tire. 2. This happens each time my tire gets low and I just figured out the problem 3 months ago. It causes me to over inflate the incorrect tire and the low tire is still low on air. 3. I have contacted Saturn for almost a year about this and they have not helped. *tr
