My car is very rusted out, underneath the body and no one will work on my car because they feel it's a hazard to drive and work on. I went to an iron works shop and mechanic said it's a common problem with Saturn Vue's, I took it back to where I bought it because they knew it before I bought it. All they wanted to do was put me ina sports car, my car is a hazard to drive it plus I have 1 more year to pay for it. Seems like something could be done about this

While drive southbound in the middle lane on I-95 during morning rush hour traffic. I noticed a slight shake in the steering for approximately 2 seconds before my vehicle started to fishtail towards the left and right with tractor trailers on both sides of me. I pushed in the clutch and the brake and placed my vehicle in neutral to slow my vehicle down while attempting to move over to the right shoulder of the road.

I have a 2006 Saturn Vue and I have several problems with my car. When I had a car wreck either of the air bags did not deploy but the lights stay on. I had to pay $596 to replace my key ignition and sometimes it still sticks. My driver door will not open and one of the seat belts in the rear has not worked properly. I see that they are recalling other Saturn but not mines.

Nov. 2007 car serviced, 35311 miles seemed to be fine. Noise began, serviced March 2008, recommended I needed new brakes but could not guarantee that would solve the problem. Noise continued, took it back to be serviced July 2008 and told that the struts and sway bars needed to be replaced along with the lift gate latch and that may not solve my problem. The vehicle is only driven on city streets and interstate highways. I have been in contact with Saturn customer service and they are not working with me to my satisfaction. The vehicle is a 2006 Saturn Vue. I cannot find out if there have been other Vue's with the same problem.

2006 Vue rear tires were cupped, tires were replaced. Consumer experienced unusual steering conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to determine the cause of the problem. The vehicle was taken to and independent mechanic who determined that there was a problem with the steering. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated they were going to swapped the rack from another Vue and changed some sensors in the steering column. The dealer never made the repairs.
