2008 SATURN VUE Power Train Problems

Excessive frame rust at 107,000 miles. Major holes and chunks of supporting materials are missing. This is near the rear subframe on both sides of the vahicle. Makes it dangerous to drive and should be recalled by GM

2008 Saturn vue AWD. Steering wheel is very difficult to turn while driving. There is a lot of resistance. No leaking fluid visible and no visible loss of fluid levels. Transmission was torn down/repaired in 2017 for metal bits present at 95,000 (approximate) miles. It is currently at 107,600 miles. Transmission gets stuck in lower gear and rpms Rev up without the vehicle gaining acceleration. The tear down/rebuild was due to bad 3 5 wave plate also and seems to be replicating the issue again. Check engine light comes on amd goes off intermittently and cannot get issue to replicate at the mechanics. Key has also gotten stuck in the barrel. Took almost 2 hours to try numerous ways to get it to release-also had to unlock manually on the door handle, none of the lights inside worked and when it was able to get started it was very slow and deliberate. Battery appeared to be dead but after jump starting and taking to have it checked, battery was found to be fine. These are serious concerns regarding the vehicle as 1 or all could cause serious damage to the driver and others on the road. It happened again today with the high rpms and low gear/not shifting to next gear.

When you drive the car the transmission fails. less than 48 hours ago I just bought this 2008 Saturn vue certified pre owned and I’ve been reading a lot of review’s about the specific model of car and a lot of other people that have had this car has had the same common experience I will attach a screenshot of what I’m talking about down below I seriously think someone should look into this issue because not only do I think this vehicle isn’t mechanically safe to be sold and driven on the road but the majority of the community that has owned one of these cars would agree to what I have to say

When driving transmission power train having difficult time changing gears

I have had the vehicle for 1 week and it has been running good. I parked it yesterday when I went to go to work today the vehicle would not shift gears while going down the road. It has really high RPM’s and will not shift out of first gear.

Just backed out of my driveway and drove 2 blocks down my street. Stopped at the stop sign and the car wouldn't move. It was still running, however it wouldn't move. The car coming up behind me didn't notice my flashers and had to slam on his brakes which caused him to be rear ended. Everyone was ok. Car was pushed back to my driveway and there it sits. Tried to start it and it still won't go anywhere. The check engine light is on, but it was not on before it stopped, or while being pushed back. I can't afford to have it towed anywhere right now to be checked out. The used dealership I bought the car from gave me an obd scanner. Transmission codes P0700 and P2723 came up.

The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that the transmission felt like it was slipping while driving at various speeds. The transmission failed to shift gears or lock into the desired gear. The contact had not taken the vehicle to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

Mileage: 22,000

My 2008 Saturn vue Engine size 3600cc, 6 cylinders has been feeling like the transmission is slipping when you get up to a certain speed and this could be very harmful to other drivers that are driving.. Sometimes the car won't go into park or reverse and I feel that since there are 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THE GM PLACE SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS Because someone could get hurt really badly if the transmission locks up while going down the road.

IT IS HARD TO TURN WHEN IT SIT IDLE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY LOOSENES UP WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, WITCH MAKES IT HARD TO PARK OR TURN WHEN AT A GREEN LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND WHEN I REVERSE OR NEED TO GO FORWARD AND TURN A LITTLE BIT IN SMALL SPACES TO ADJUST THE PLACEMENT OF WHICH MY VEHICLE IS IN ITS TO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN MOTION FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE SO MUCH STRENGTH TO FORCE IT TO TURN.

Mileage: 176,000

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT 5 MPH, SHE HAD PLACED HER GEAR SHIFTER INTO DRIVE, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING AND FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HIT HER COWORKERS VEHICLE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE INTO A PARK SPACE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE SERVICED, DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH AT ABOUT 1500-2000 RPMS THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT WAS USING THE MANUAL MODE. IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP TOO BY THE END OF MY 200 MILE DRIVE TODAY IT WAS SLIPPING BAD AND IT HAS FLUID I TOPPED IT OFF THIS MORNING HOPING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT AND I CONSISTENTLY CHECKED IT THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE AND IT DID NOT GO DOWN OR LOSE FLUID.

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES(BOTH SIDES) AND WIRE HARNESS KEEPS MELTING. I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I HAVE NOW PURCHASED THE WIRE HARNESS AND I HOPE THIS WILL NOT BURN ALSO. 2. THE CAR JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING IN REVERSE WHICH INDICATES THE PARKING PAWL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND NO RESPONSE RETURNED. 3. WATER IS LEAKING INTO MY CAR. THE FRONT AND BACKSEAT FLOORS ARE SOAKED. LOOKS LIKE THE SEAL AROUND THE FIREWALL IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY. I SAW MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2008-2010 SATURN VUE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHT WIRING MELTED. REPLACED BOTH SIDE HEADLIGHTS AND AFTER 2 YEARS THE WIRE HARNESS MELTED AGAIN THE PARKING PAWL GETS STUCK OFTEN. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE PARKING PAWL GETS STUCK. THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR JERKS AND MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE. THE LIGHT ISSUE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS NOW. THE PARKING PAWL ISSUE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

I JUST BOUGHT AN 08 SATURN VUE V6 XR WITH THE 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC 94K MILES AND I’VE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 3-5 WAVE PLATES I WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WON’T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN THE CAR IS WARM. I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST SIGNS OF IT THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE SENSOR BUT AFTER I GOT IT BACK I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SHOP SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS A 3-4K JOB. GM DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT ALTHOUGH MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT LEAVES PEOPLE LIKE ME STUCK WITH NO SOLUTION AS I HAD JUST SPENT ALL MY MONEY BUYING THE CAR.

SINCE WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS MESSING UP. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AFTER IT IS PUT IN GEAR. ONCE PUT IN GEAR AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED THERE IS LAG BETWEEN THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE RPM INCREASING AND THE GEARS ENGAGING AND THE CAR TAKING OFF. THE VEHICLE ALSO ROLLS BACKWARDS A WORRYING AMOUNT WHEN IT IS PLACED IN PARK. ALSO WHEN YOU GO TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WAN TO GO OUT OF THE LOW GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOT ONCE OR TWICE THIS IS CONSISTENT. WE HAVE KEPT IT MAINTAINED SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. THE MOST RECENT WAS JUST 2 DAYS AGO.

OVER THE PAST YEAR AND HALF I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. HEAD LIGHTS DIMMING AND FLASHING AT VERY HIGH INTERVALS ALMOST LIKE A DIM STROBE. RADIO NOT TURNING ON. INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT COMING ON. ODOMETER LIGHT DIMS. RANDOM DINGING NOISE. TURN SIGNAL NOT ALWAYS WORKING OR WORKING SPORADICALLY. FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT ALWAYS COMING ON AND WHEN THEY DO IT'S SPORADIC. REAR WINDSHIELD NOT COMING ON BUT WILL AFTER AN ENGINE RESTART. KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. HAZARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN ENGINE IS OFF. ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED SLOWLY OVER THE LAST YEAR AND HALF. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE. EVERYONE WITH THESE PROBLEMS WILL TELL YOU THAT A MECHANIC CAN'T RUN A TEST FOR THE PROBLEM IF IT'S NOT HAPPENING AT THAT TIME. WE ALSO ALL KNOW TOO WELL THESE PROBLEMS COME AND GO VERY QUICKLY AND SOMETIMES TEMPORARILY FIX THEMSELVES WITH JUST AN ENGINE RESTART, DRIVING OVER A BUMP (WHICH ALSO BRINGS ON THE ISSUES) OR SHAKING THE WIRE HARNESS ON TOP OF THE BATTERY. SO TAKING IT TO A SHOP TO RUN A TEST IS ALMOST MEANINGLESS UNLESS TOWED AND EVEN THEN IT'S NOT 100% CHANCE YOU'RE GOING TO GET A CODE(S) TO READ. THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. THE BIG OCCURRENCE CAME WHEN I WAS JUST TWO MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE I LIVE, I HAD THE VUE NOT START UP OR EVEN TURN OVER AND THE KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. I OPENED UP THE HOOD, TAPPED ONCE ON THE BLACK BOX ON TOP OF THE BATTERY AND THE VUE STARTED DINGING AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON. I THEN DROVE TO MY HOUSE AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND RESTARTED TWICE WITHIN THAT TWO MIN DRIVE. I LOST TOTAL POWER AND VERY LIMITED CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT HUNDREDS OF TIMES ON THE INTERNET AND HAS YET TO BE INVESTIGATED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. -11.4.17

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSITION. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL THE WOMAN ON THE OTHER END SAID I WASN'T ABLE TO BE INCLUDED THAT'S WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED. THE RECALL STATED ANY OWNER. AS EVEN THOUGH I WAS SOLD THE CAR AS NEW, THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS OWNER. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 420 MILES. MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR SOMETIMES, WHEN IN PARK IT ROLLS ABOUT 8 TO 10 INCHES. WHEN MY CAR WON'T SHIFT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I USE THE TIPTRONIC SHIFT AND WHERE THERE SHOULD BE A 1 FOR FIRST GEAR THERE IS NOTHING. ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS MY CAR WON'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR TO PICK UP SPEED

THERE WAS A RECALL BULLETIN ISSUED FOR MY MODEL YEAR VEHICLE: HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM472842/RCRIT-14V614-0055.PDF HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED MY CLOSEST GM DEALER THEY SAID THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. THIS IS CONCERNING AS THE RECALL IS DESCRIBING THE EXACT PROBLEM W/ THE CAR AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. ONE OF THE CONNECTORS ON MY ECM SOMEHOW HAS BECOME CONTAMINATED AND IS CAUSING THE CAR TO UNEXPECTEDLY DIE WHILE IN USE. ALSO AS A RESULT, THE TCS/ESP/AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL THE COMPUTER CAN BE RESET. IT HAS DONE SO TWICE WHILE MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, CREATING VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT STRANDS HER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL WE CAN GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING, AND WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS OFF THE HIGHWAY. I UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY CERTAIN VINS ARE INVOLVED IN CERTAIN RECALLS, BUT SINCE THE PROBLEM IN THE RECALL BULLETIN LINKED ABOVE IS HAPPENING TO OUR VEHICLE AND OUR VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT LISTED, I AM CONCERNED THERE COULD BE OTHERS THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS AND COULD BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. *TR

WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT FAILED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR (CAR KEPT MOVING BUT THE RPMS WENT WAY UP). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CODES P0700, P0752 AND P0989 WERE PULLED FROM THE CAR. MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE SENT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION WHICH INCLUDED A FAILED WAVE PLATE. THE NEW WAVE PLATE IS MUCH MORE ROBUST THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE. CAR WAS AT 125,844 MILES WHEN WORK COMPLETED. CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE SPECIAL COVERAGE THIS THIS TRANSMISSION. THE GM SPECIAL COVERAGE IS FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY OUR SATURN WOULD NOT BE COVERED REIMBURSED BY GM EVEN THOUGH THE WAVE PLATE FAILURE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY GM. GM SAID THAT ANYTHING ABOVE 120,000 MILES IS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

MY TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE SHATTERED IN MY 2008 SATURN VUE. I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN THE WAVE PLATE SHATTERED.

MY WAVE PLATE BROKE ON 5/24/2016 AT 79167 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DENIED REIMBURSEMENT SATING I DID NOT SUBMIT BY RECEIPTS BY THE EXPATRIATION DATE. WHEN I INQUIRED ON WHAT THAT DATE WAS I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD NO IDEA. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS UNTIL I AM RIGHTFULLY REIMBURSED FOR THESE REPAIRS PER THE EXTENDED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY THAT GM PUT OUT FOR THE KNOWN WAVE PLATE ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY ORIGINAL EMAIL CHAIN WITH SATURN/GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT INDICATES THE EXTEND TRANSMISSION WARRANTY DATE AND MILEAGE AND THE MY VEHICLES VIN QUALIFIED, MY RECONSIDERATION LETTER AFTER FIRST DENIAL AND RECEIPT OF THE REPAIR WORK THAT WAS COMPLETED.

WHEN PARKING, WHETHER ON AN INCLINE OR LEVEL GROUND MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD. SO A MAJORITY OF THE TIME I HAVE TO UTILIZE MY MANUAL BRAKE WHEN PLACING MY VEHICLE IN PARK JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE AND TO VOID ANY MISHAPS. ALSO, WHEN IN DRIVE MY VEHICLE MAKES A VERY STRONG NOISE THAT INTENSIFIES THE LONGER I AM DRIVING. WHEN I MAKE TURNS OR REVERSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO PERFORM. THE BEST ANALOGY I CAN GIVE IS WHEN A PERSON WITH ASTHMA FIRST BEGINS TO STRUGGLE WITH BREATHING AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR RESCUE INHALER THAT STRUGGLE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO KICK UP A NOTCH. I REVIEWED THE OPEN RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS ONE REGARDING THE ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE (CORRECT MAKE/MODEL) WHOEVER, I AM BEING TOLD THAT RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND THAT MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY. IT WAS LIKE I WAS BEING HANDLED AND THE OH WELL TONE REGARDING MY CONCERN THAT IT CAN'T BE THAT ISSUE BECAUSE YOUR VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL APPROACH WAS QUITE UNNERVING.

IVE HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED BY 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I DIDNT LIST THE FIRST INCIDENT BECAUSE I DONT REMEMBER THE MILEAGE. WHAT HAPPENS IS EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE IT WONT CRANK. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I PUT IN IT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY I WAS COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN AND NEEDED GAS, BUT PRIOR TO THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHEN I TURNED ON THE AIR WHICH WASNT OFTEN IN FEBRUARY BECAUSE IT WAS MOSTLY COOL OUT. SO IVE HAD TO BUY BRAND NEW PARTS TWICE BECAUSE ITS WHAT THE COMPUTER READ AS AN ISSUE. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, I COULD BE JUST GETTING IN VEHICLE AND IT CRANKS FINE, I WOULD PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT AND IT WONT BULGE. ID THEN PUT IT BACK IN PARK THAIN DRIVE ITLL MOVE FORWARD PERFECTLY. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE AGAIN IT WOULD BACK OUT WITHOUT CONTROL WITHOUT EASE. ONCE I ALMOSE HIT A CAR PASSING MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. IVE ALSO HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR OPENING HANDLES WHERE THEY STICK I JUST THOUGHT MY KIDS WERENT CLOSING THE DOOR ALL THE WAY. NOW THEYVE GOTTEN USED TO SLAMMING THE DOOR BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO HEAR MY MOUTH EVERYTIME I GET AN OPEN DOOR NOTIFICATION.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS CAR REDUCED GEAR FROM 6 TO 5 AND I LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES AND SENDING THE WARNING BY THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO THE CAR BEHIND ME. CAR JUST STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT WHOEVER WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME COULDN'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF NO WARNING. TRANSMISSION VALVE PLATE 35R FAILED WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN THIS CAR AND MODEL. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL IN MY OPINION. I READ MANY PEOPLE'S REPORTS OF THAT HAPPENING AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS RECALL DONE? *TR

PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE SATURN VUE 2008. WAS TOLD BY SALES MAN IT HAD A 1 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND 2 YEAR ON THE POWER TRAIN. JUST AFTER MY 1 YEAR MARK MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FELT ASSURED AT LEAST IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT, THAT IS WAS ONLY COVERED FOR 1 YEAR ON THE POWER TRAIN, I WAS VERY DISPLEASED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT WITH ONLY 50K MILES ON IT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL "MANAGERS" ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HOW I FELT THEY SHOULD COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO ABSORB SOME OF THE COST, I PAID 1K DOLLARS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON THEY DID THE SERVICE THAT IT WAS DUE SUCH AS ROTATING TRIES ETC. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING :( NOW IT WORKS OFF AND ON, THEN A DAY LATER MY LOW TIRE SENSOR COMES ON, SHOWING MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FAULTY. REALLY??? NOW WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN, MY TRACTION CONTROL/ABS WARRING LIGHTS COME ON AND DING. WOW WHY AS THIS CAR NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I NOW FIND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUES TO THE TEE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. NOW I REMEMBER WHY MY 3 PREVIOUS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TOYOTA AND HONDA'S I PAID 5K DOWN ALL THE MONEY I HAD BUY A CERTIFIED CAR THINKING IT WOULD LAST ME LONGER THAN 1 YEAR. I WAS WRONG AND I OWE MORE ON IT NOW THAT I AM SURE IT IS WORTH. *TR

PUT A NEW ENGINE IN FOUND OUT IN FACT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS AND COME TO FIND OUT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN GM CARS INT THE TRANSMISSION THE 35R WAVE PLATE HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IT AFFECTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CARS 2007-2009 SATURNS. TAVERSE, ACADIA, OUTLOOK, MALIBU, ARURA. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT WONT DO A RECALL. THIS IS WRONG AS A CONSUMER IM SUPPOSE TO BE PROTECTED BY LAW FROM DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THIS DEPT THE NHTSA HAS LOOKED IN TO THIS ISSUE AND YOUR DEPT HAS DETIRMENED IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART BUT NO SAFETY ISSUES, I BE G TO DIFFER I WAS ALMOST IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

DRIVING AT SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY FEELING TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY FAIL AND LOOSING CONTROL OF YOUR SPEED DURING TRAVEL. TO HAVE SUCH A VITAL PART ABLE TO FAIL IN SUCH A CRITICAL FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS ON THE ROADS AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.

FIRST INCIDENT- AS I TRIED TO PARK MY CAR ON A STREET GOING UP HILL, THE CAR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ON DRIVE KEPT MOVING BACKWARDS I HAD TO RIGHT AWAY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND HIT THE GAS SO IT WOULD GO FORWARD MAKING THE CAR JUMP AND ALMOST CRASH INTO THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. SECOND INCIDENT - I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT GOING UP HILL AS I TRIED PULLING OUT OF THE SPOT, MY CAR WAS IN REVERSE, AS I HIT THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WENT FORWARD, I HAD TO AGAIN HIT THE BRAKES REALLY BAD AND PLACE THE CAR IN PARK THEN IN REVERSE AGAIN.... AND HIT THE GAS VERY VERY SLOWLY TO MAKE SURE THIS TIME MY CAR WAS GOING BACKWARDS AT THE REVERSE. THIRD INCIDENT- TO GET HOME I HAVE TO GO THRU A STEEP HILL WHICH HAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT BOTH ENDS, WHEN EVER I GET STOP GOING UP HE HILL ON THE LIGHT THE CAR GOES BACKWARD WHEN IT'S ON DRIVE AND WHEN U GET STUCK GOING DOWN THE CAR STOPS WHEN I GOT THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY IN AND THE CAR KEEPS ROLLING. *TR

ON APRIL 12, 2014 I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR BOULEVARD TOWARDS INTERSTATE 5 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND REVVED THE ENGINE TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH RPM. IT WAS HOVERING QUITE CLOSE TO THE RED DANGER ZONE ON THE GAUGE. AS IT WAS DOING THIS I LOST FORWARD POWER AND WAS MOVING FORWARD ON MOMENTUM ONLY. IT THEN FELT LIKE IT DROPPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES IN QUICK SUCCESSION. I WAS CLOSE TO A PARKING LOT SO I HIT THE BRAKES LIGHTLY TO DECREASE MY SPEED AND MANAGED TO TURN THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT AND INTO A PARKING SPACE JUST AS THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO RE-ENGAGE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED EMERGENCY ROADSIDE SERVICE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FORWARD INTO A SERVICE BAY BUT ADVISED ME THAT REVERSE WAS COMPLETELY GONE. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT CRASH OR SUSTAIN AN INJURY, IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE I GOT LUCKY AND HAD A SAFE PLACE TO TURN INTO. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED 5 MINUTES LATER ON THE FREEWAY, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY DIED AS THAT SECTION OF INTERSTATE 5 HAS CONSTRUCTION WORK AND NO SHOULDER, SO I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED AND BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND BIG RIGS TRAVELING BETWEEN 55 AND 80 MILES PER HOUR. IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A MIRACLE FOR NO ONE TO HIT ME IN THAT SITUATION. THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 WITH JUST OVER 50K MILES ON IT - WAY TOO SOON FOR SUCH A MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, GOING AROUND ANOTHER STALLED VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH. MY VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO 3RD GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ONLY BRAKES AND STEERING. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT GM IS AWARE OF A FAULTY 3-5-R WAVE-PLATE USED WITHIN MANY OF THEIR 6 FORWARD GEAR TRANSMISSIONS USED ON VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2009. I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD BE REPLACED THROUGH A RECALL TO AVOID ANY SERIOUS FUTURE INJURIES IN ALL VEHICLES USING THIS TRANSMISSION WITH THE FAULTY WAVE-PLATE. I BELIEVE THIS INCLUDES 6T70 AND 6T75 TRANSMISSIONS IN VEHICLES FROM 2007-2209. *TR

ISSUE #1 ~ TRANSMISSION WHILE MERGING FROM ONE FREEWAY TO ANOTHER, DRIVING AT A STEADY PACE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLIP. WHEN THE SLIPPING BEGAN, THE DELAYS WERE SHORT, MAYBE LASTING 10 SECONDS. HOWEVER AS I KEPT DRIVING, THEY BEGAN TO GET LONGER AND LONGER, IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND MOVE OVER TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. SINCE THE INITIAL TIME, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE. AND, BECAUSE THE SLIPPING DOESN'T OCCUR EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, I'M BEING TOLD THE ISSUE CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED... ISSUE #2 ~ POWER STEERING AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING STEERED STRAIGHT, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS. HOWEVER, THE MOMENT THE VEHICLE IS STEERED EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT, IT BEGINS TO MAKE A LOUD ROARING LIKE SOUND. THE ROARING IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT WHEN BEING STEERED TO THE LEFT. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TWICE NOW TO BE ATTENDED TO. EACH TIME I'VE TAKEN IT IN, THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND FLUIDS ARE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. *TR

MY '08 VUE WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION HANDLE DOES PHYSICALLY GO INTO THE REVERSE DETENT BUT THE GEARS DO NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY INCREASES THE ENGINE RPMS. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS SOME STUTTERING IN REVERSE TWO DAYS AGO. THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH THE FORWARD GEARS. TODAY, THE TRANSMISSION REVERSE GEAR WILL NOT ENGAGE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GM/FOR 6T70 6SPD TRANSMISSION REVERSE GEAR WAVE PLATE. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY GM BRAND THAT USES THE TRANSMISSION HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE.

WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFO AT ANY PINT SINCE 2011; MOST OF THEM SEEM TO BE LISTED UNDER 2008; WE HAVE NO IDEA HAOW WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THEM, OR IF THE ISSUES HAVE EVER BEEN FIXED. THE TRANNY WENT RIGHT AFTER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY CONVENIENTLY EXPIRED- IT WAS THE 3-5 WAVE PLATE , WHICH I JUST READ ON INTERNET WAS A RECALL. GM CASE MANAGER , [XXX],WAS SUPPOSEDLY TRYING TO ASSIST ME. HE ALSO WAS IN CONTACT WITH [XXX], SERVICE MANAGER @ DAVIDSON. AS SOON AS THEY KNEW I HAD A LOAN SECURED FOR 4000.00 , NO ONE COULD HELP ALL OF THE SUDDEN! I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT I WOULD GET HELP WITH COST; EITHER CERTIFICATE WITH SMALLER AMOUNT FOR TRADE IN, OR 30% OF REPAIR COST. I SAID REPAIR COST TO LOWER MY LOAN. THEN NEITHER WOULD HELP ME AND BOTH BECAME UNPROFESSIONAL. I HAVE SENT LETTERS TO GM WITH NO RESPONSE. ALSO, I HAD TO PAY FOR RENTAL CAR. IT IS NOTED THAT CLUTCH SPRING AND PISTON ALSO DAMAGED. I FEEL THAT WE WERE GIVEN THIS CAR UNDER FALSE PRETENSES AS FAR AS SAFETY AND BEING GM CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. MULTIPLE ISSUES.

FIRST NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH AUTOMATIC SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION ON MY WAY TO THE OFFICE. THEN, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK, I REALIZED I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. LIMPED HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A TRUSTED TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO IDENTIFIED 2 ERROR CODES: P0776 PCSB STUCK OFF AND P2715 PCS4 STUCK ON. UNFORTUNATELY THE POWER TRAIN HAD EXPIRED AS OF JUNE 30TH, 2013 - A MERE 8 MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE FACTORY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND ALSO WROTE ON THE INVOICE THAT THE "3/5 R CLUTCH WAVE PLATE POSSIBLY BROKEN." I CONTACTED MULTIPLE DEALERS TO HAVE IT CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINANCING THE REPAIR. I PLEADED MY CASE TO GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT WERE DENIED ANY REAL ASSISTANCE. AFTER READING MANY POSTS OF 2008 VUE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES, WE DECIDED TO OBTAIN ANOTHER NON-GMC VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER BY GMC AGAIN GIVEN THE CALLOUS NATURE WITH WHICH THEY RESPONDED TO MY NEEDS AS A PREVIOUSLY LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING OUR HOME ON OCTOBER 27, 2013, OUR 2008 SATURN VUE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT HARD SHIFTING, OVER-REVVING BEFORE FINALLY "CLUNKING" INTO GEARS. THESE SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES WORTH OF DRIVING. THE SYMPTOMS RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY SO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. DIAGNOSIS IS A BROKEN 3-5-R WAVE PLATE. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THIS FAILURE IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE SATURN VUE AND RELATED GM STABLE MATES (CHEVROLET EQUINOX / GMC ACADIA / PONTIAC TORRENT...).

HI I HAVE A 2008 SATURN VUE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2008. IN 2010 WITH ABOUT 32,000 MILES THE TRANNY WAS BLOWN, THEY FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THAT WINTER IT HERE I WENT TO PUT MY CAR IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO GO DOWN A SNOW COVERED HILL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT, IT STAYED IN 4TH. (I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DOWNSHIFT SINCE THE NEW TRANNY WAS PUT IN, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME) BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP THINKING IT WAS THE TRANNY AND THEY SAY IT IS THE FLOOR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WIRING AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE? THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 3 YRS OLD! *TR

THIS IS A STURN VUE, 2008 - 6 CYCLINDER. FIRST 18,000 MILES WERE TROUBLE FREE. CAR SHUDDERS AND HESITATES - DOES IT AT ANY SPEED AND NOT CONSISTENT WITH RUNNING TIME- TACHOMETER FLUTTERS WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. AT 2ND VISIT TO DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM, TOLD IT IS A COMPUTER TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NO PROGRAM HAS BEEN WRITTEN TO CORRECT. TOLD THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATING PROBLEM. HAVE SPOKEN TO SATURN REPS AT GMC EVERY DAY SINCE MARCH 15. CAR IS GETTING WORSE- NOT BETTER, THEY HAVE OFFERED NO HOPE OF ANY RESOLUTION AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND EVEN TRYING TO SWAP OUT PARTS. KEEP ON TELLING ME THE CAR IS SAFE AND WILL STAND BY THEIR ORIGINAL WARRANTY OF 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES ON TRANSMISSION IF IT FAILS. CAR GETS LOUSY GAS MILEAGE SINCE THIS STARTED - WENT FROM 22.5 MPG TO 19.5 *CN

Mileage: 2,800

I BOUGHT THIS CAR APRIL 23, AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. AT 200 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE EVAP CANISTER. BUT I WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS AND THEN IT WOULD REDLINE AND KICK IN TO THE NEXT GEAR. BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY CONSTANT. THE VEHICLE WOULD ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFT ON FLAT GROUND AND ON SLIGHT GRADES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT AS I DROVE OFF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THEN WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT AGAIN THEY SAID THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WASN'T WORKING CORRECTLY SO THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. WELL WHEN I DROVE OFF ABOUT 25 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 30MPH-60MPH. IT ALSO ROLLS BACK WHEN IN THE DRIVE WAY OR AT A SLIGHT INCLINE AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. IM SCHEDULE FOR ANOTHER APPT. ONCE AGAIN TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2008 SATURN VUE REDLINE HAS EXHIBITED NEAR STALLING, SHUDDERING,AND BUCKING ON THREE (3) OCCASIONS WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY FEAR IS THAT I WILL BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN THIS EVENT WILL OCCUR. IN AN EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, I CONTACTED TWO SATURN DEALERS, NEITHER OF WHOM WAS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND DEALER THAT I CONTACTED INFORMED ME THAT SATURN MAY NOW, AS OF JULY 5, 2008, HAVE SOME IDEA AS TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. FOR THE RECORD, THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN APRIL 2008, WITH TWO SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES IN JULY OR 2008. THANK YOU, HDJ *TR

THE CAR IS A 2008 SATURN VUE 4 CYLINDER AUTOMATIC WITH TWO MAIN SAFETY PROBLEMS. PROBLEM ONE IS THE CAR WILL LOCK YOU OUT AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. CAR CAN BE RUNNING OR SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 14 TIMES. LUCKILY I HAD THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO ACCESS THE CAR. SATURN HAS REPEATED THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER VUE AND DEEMS IT A "NORMAL FUNCTION" EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS MANUALS SAYS THERE IS A FUNCTION IN THE CAR ENGINEERED INTO IT TO PREVENT YOU FROM LOCKING YOUR KEYS IN THE CAR ACCIDENTALLY. AGAIN THIS HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER EXITING THE CAR. PROBLEM TWO, TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND ACCELERATES ON FLAT GROUND OR SLIGHT GRADES WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN CRUISE CONTROLS IS DISENGAGED AS WELL. MY WIFE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ONE DUE TO THIS ON A CURVING ROAD GOING UP HILL. I ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WELL. MULTIPLE DATES OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND HAPPENS BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 47 DAYS SINCE IT HAS BEEN PURCHASED. *TR
