2008 Saturn Vue this is the 3rd time im writing a complaint I havent heard anything back no call no letter from anyone at the recall. But my truck in the winter it has trouble going up a low hill while driving it and when its sitting on a hill parked ill look outside and find it sitting at the bottom of the hill. When its parked and I try to shift the gear to drive to go the stick locks up and it wouldnt move. And when driving on a street with not much snow I can feel the back of the car slide. If I dont hear anything back I will be going to the news for help.

Around June 22, 2017he anti-lock brake system ABS, traction control tc/esp elec. Stability, AWD all-wheel drive, and brake warning and indicator lights stay on and will not reset according to the manual indicating the systems are not functioning/powered on and/or not working properly. On May 9, 2017 scott automotive put new brakes on the car. They could not get a reading from the ABS/tc control system and suggested taking it to a dealer - it would not communicate. A tire pressure light came on as well and later in the week, carter auto repair replaced the tire pressure sensor and stated with the correct reading equipment the ABS/tc still was not communicating and also suggested having GM perform a reading. GM technicians' online responses to forum complaints of 2008 Saturn Vue (and other models) stability track system and transmission issues lead me to believe GM is aware of the problems but have yet to take recall action to address them. The vehicle runs through a self-check of the sensors when the car is parked with only the AWD light blinking and the normal all lights flash on the dash and then the brake, ABS, both tc/esp lights come on and stay on and the AWD light continues to blink. From what I have read, the traction control/electronic stability and ABS are not on and working so I am hoping when I take the car to GM on Wednesday they will offer to replace the vehicle because I purchased this vehicle for my mother because it has a 5-star safety rating and it is no longer safe for her to drive if she is in an accident and the brakes lock up and she skids across the highway.

I have had electrical and climate control problems since I bought this car. Most of the A/C components have been replaced. Now I don't have any A/C at all. I've also had heating problems that required two different repairs which were very expensive. My car is garage kept, well maintained and it only has 30,000.

2008 Saturn Vue, liftgate gas struts that hold the liftgate up when open. These struts failed and the open liftgate suddenly falled and unexpectedly it strikes me on head. Car was parked in level driveway and I just open it up - 7 seconds later it crushed my head. Very unstable and dangerous to close without gas struts it's too heavy and slams closed.

Are their any recalls on any parts?

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.

The ignition key would not turn to the "off" position once the car is stopped and the shifter in park. The key would only move to the accessory power position and would not allow the engine to turn off. To turn the engine off, the shifter needed to be moved out of the park position and back into the park position several times before the ignition would unlock to allow the key to move to the "off" position.

Transmission stuttered once accelerating from a stop light, again later driving apprx 35 mph changing lanes; slight acceleration. Then noticed the engine light was on, so I pulled into a parking lot, stop the car and began checking the vehicle manual which indicated possible emission issues +++. began researching where the closest GM dealer was located. I turned the engine on, put it in reverse, checking for clearance behind me then stepped on the accelerator.... the engine revved and the car started to drift forward towards the vehicle parked in front of me. "no reverse?" good thing I left plenty of parking clearance. I then researched were a transmission shop was located. After the vehicle ahead of me pulled out I was able to drive out of the shopping center... once on the main road had to put the emergency lights on because the shifting into 3rd gear would like slip, going into a high rev, letting up off the accelerator allowed shifting to progress. Thank goodness the tranny shop was only 1/2 mile away. A couple of hours later the shop called that a couple of codes indicating possible electronic faults may be the cause. Now waiting for follow up.

Last summer the air worked on and off. Problems were when you first started driving and in traffic but otherwise worked well. This year it has not worked at all. It blows fine but it's only hot air. Mechanic said freon was fine and could not correct the problem after trying everything he could. He replaced a switch or something which I can't recall right now but it didn't help. He is a well respected mechanic in the same place for over 20 years. I live in a very hot and humid area of the country and have medical issues which make driving the car a concern for me. I have read this is a common complaint with this car.

Every time a I take a left hand turn with this car, the traction control, brake light, and another light symbol come on and the car starts dinging. Because this is a breaking issue and isolated to certain turns, this appears to be an unsafe situation.
