Vue 4-cyl

  • 79,432 miles
Our 2008 Saturn Vue xe recently started locking up the ABS and brakes while driving. It happens in stop and go traffic and most frighteningly at freeway speeds. The vehicle will apply the brakes at will for no reason and the ABS and traction control indicators come on. We have had the vehicle serviced multiple times and we have replaced all brake hardware and the issue still exists. We have done countless hours of research and have found that hundreds of Saturn, Chevrolet, and commodore vehicles exhibit the same issues and General Motors dealerships do not even have an answer. The vehicle brake issues render the vehicle inoperable and cause immediate slowness and inability to maneuver on the freeway when it locks up. We cannot use the vehicle and have exhausted all resources and options trying to fix the issue. It cannot be traded in with these issues either. Can somebody investigate possible recalls or dealer solutions so we can feel safe driving...with or without our small children. Please help.

Vue 6-cyl

  • 54,000 miles
Webasto hollandia 600 sun roof completely detached from the car while driving on the pa turnpike. I am the original owner of the car and it was installed prior to my picking it up at the faulkner dealership, Saturn of jenkintown. The roof was installed by.rsc restyling in levittown, pa. I took the car to faulkner GM in trevose, pa for repairs and contacted my auto insurance company. A few days later I found out that the sun roof manufacturer had issued a recall notice for this exact problem. The sun roof was replaced at rsc and I attempted to find out why I was never notified of the recall. Faulkner GM wasn't aware of the recall notice. I contacted the owner of rsc restyling, [xxx}, who told me that the vehicle id numbers of cars that had these roofs installed were forwarded to the manufacturer. The manufacturer's reps claimed that my VIN was never provided to them. Therefore nobody was responsible for the circumstances that could have easily resulted in a catastrophe. A defect might apply to a water leak, noise, vibration, faulty operation. This "defect" is more aptly defined as risking a catastrophe.
