Frame rusted out beyond repair and vehicle only has 131081 miles on it car is pretty well taken care of oil changed regularly and tires rotated new brakes all the way around. This should be a safety recall from gm even though it may be 14 years old the way this car was taken care of should be taken into consideration

October 22 2020 my husband and I had purchased a 2008 Saturn Vue (lic plate # 6ezz507)from a private party. On March 25 2021 the car suddenly engulfed in flames then exploded. My husband managed to exit the vehicle in just seconds before the car exploded. We've come to find out afterwards that this particular year, make, model had been recalled. Is there anything could possibly be done?

I was on a straight street parked and my engine light came on my girlfriend came outside I go to pull away I out the car in reserve and went no where I turned her off for a couple mins. And tried again it worked but I had the peddle to floor only going like 2mph backing up. Finally I got out out her in drive and again we was not moving I was able to pull over in a lot I turned her off sat for 10-15 minutes turned back on she was okay till I got home and tried to park I was 15 mins away from home. So I got my obd reader thing to check engine light and it popped up something with my transmission.

While driving on the freeway the car would beep 3 time while lights flash on the dash. I would lose power steering and the engine would shut off.... usually would start back up if I waited long enough. This has happened to me quite a few times. I have been also on a street going 35 miles an hour and same thing would happen. The last time I tried to drive it I put my keys in and cant get them out..

The heater core is leaking. My floor boards are soaked with some mold. I have vacuumed the wetness up many times. The inside of my windows have heavy condensation on them, that has actually frozen. Because of the wet floors.

My Vue went out of control, after I slammed on the brakes, it took off like a rocket, going faster and faster up to 90 miles per hour, it would not stop and would not slow down, I threw it into neutral, after 1 min the engine died, and I coasted for a few min

My vehicle had a webasto 700 sunroof installed in it a fully rectractable one and while driving on the freeway the glass itself flew off and the vehicle behind us had to swerve out of the way to avoid it. Luckily no accident happened but now I have a giant hole in my roof and its aftermarket so no shop I have been to has a direct replacement. Just the glass itself is gone the frame and motor are still functional.

The key will not release from the ignition when the shifter is put in park. The key stuck in the key lock cylinder and would not turn. All lights stay one in the vehicle

The key will not release from the ignition when the shifter is put in park. It sounds identical to an issue which affected multiple other GM products as identified in issue 10057968.

On Friday October 26, 2018, my battery died. I had it replaced after the tow company diagnosed it. It was later discovered that the alternator was malfunctiong. My car on a busy intersection just died with on coming heavy traffic. I could not move or put it in nuetural to move it. It had to be jumped in order to clear the dangerous situation. My concern that the car just locked up, no power or ability to move. I could not use my hazard lights. A very unsafe situation. The vehicle was in motion and then I was accelerating then all of a sudden everything went dark. Please advise of what type of documentation you will need for this file? I am just writing because this was a safety related malfunctioning that was life threatening.

After sitting for awhile, I tried to use the key fob to unlock the car. It did nothing. I used the key then to unlock the doors and the dome lights did not work. However, the car started up with the second turn of the key. After driving home, the key fob worked again along with the dome lights. While driving at several other times, the radio will shut off and the clock will reset to midnight and the calendar will reset. This will happen while driving as well as when the engine is first started. This will happen at least once a week. This has been happening for several months now.

Now this is like the 5th time I think I have wrote a letter to this company and no one has answered me I've had problems with my car being parked on a hill and it rolls backwards when no one's inside of it and other little things thats on the Saturn recall but my car is not on the list. But now I'm having a problem with my back door not shutting when I shut it it opens unexpectently. In the words of car talk it's called 1. transmission case porosity at park pawl 2. outside door handle sticks/bind. Also the interior lights on the trans stick is out, my warning dash boards light come in for no reason 1st it was oil light which I received an oil change a month ago and now it's the check engine light, car alarm goes off when the back door acts up. Now I hope to here from someone soon. I might go to the news cause I need help and you people not helping so that might make U move faster. But if I die of my car rolls away and kills one of these kids outside I will sue you people so hard. Waiting for an awser bye. Fyi ive been having problems with this car since I bought it in 2014.
