problem #2

Vue

  • 110,000 miles
Electrical system starting to act up (every dashboard light comes on) causing the vehicle to lose power and stall while driving. Steering power was lost and brakes became very soft. Happens at random speeds from 20mph and up to 65mph. Very scary! I have a child and I couldn't get my hazard lights to come on until the electrical calmed down. Was nearly rear-ended multiple times with a child in the vehicle. Finally had to replace the throttle body on the vehicle which is very expensive.

2002 Saturn Vue - check engine light keeps coming on due to a failed throttle body and the parts. It would also cause the car to go into reserve power and the car would only go 10 miles an hour. I was just informed that this must be a major problem because my mechanic just informed me that the part needed to repair this problem is on back order to April of 2009. So if that is not enough of a reason that this is a defect I do not know what is. Because of this I will be without a working car for 4 months because GM/Saturn makes cars that do not function. Also I have read that this problem has been around for several years and you have not forced them into a recall on something that could cause a problem on the road to the driver and or other drivers on the road.
