Alternator I changed the starter I changed the alternator brand new it ran but then it stopped in mid drive and I won't just start and that's how I crashed into something now my car is wreck in the fridge and it won't start and if it does it stops

Sweet smell coming from vents, suspect there is a coolant leak in the heater core, only 98000 miles and the heater core is failing.

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.

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?

Engine light is on. Have been told by several mechanics that the transmission needs to be replaced. Several years ago spent over &1000.00 On it ( transmission) at a gm dealer only to have the issue to still exist. Never buying a gm vehicle again.

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. .

My car steering goes in and out loud whining noise like I'm gonna lose control got ran and pinion replaced and power steering pump so what can still be the problem also just replace control module for transmission and now light just came back on 3 months after getting fixed same code p0700

My vehicle's timing chain broke with only 88,000 miles. Causing me to be stranded and need to replace the entire engine. This shouldn't happen. Research shows that this is a problem with this vehicle.

Drove to a store .5 Miles from my house noticed my car was smoking from under the hood. Drove back home, parked, and turned the car off, then raised the hood and the wire harness by my starter was on fire.

For the last year, while driving at low speeds, and while stopped with the engine running, the engine will shut off. It won't restart for a few minutes, sometimes it will restart on first try. The electrical system (i'm guessing) makes a lot of clicking noises-from the engine and inside the car-dashboard lights will flicker, electric door and window lights on driver side door will flicker, airbags, hazards, radio lights will all flicker, and windows won't go up or down, or will slightly, door locks won't operate,...

Car goes into redused engine power on the highway. Engine shuts down completely. Pull over shut off car wait and restart car. Sometimes it happenes again right away sometimes it doesnt happen for months later.

While the vehicle is stationary in parked like mode, when going to start the engine, there is nothing. No clicking, no sound. Other times it will start but struggle and other times within seconds of the first 2 examples above, it will start right up.

Needed a new transmission now every time I kill the engine I have to start the vehicle with a jump starter camshaft and timing advances problems

Vehicle won't shift gears one I get to third. Was not notified of wave plate special warranty and now I'm 4000 miles past accepted miles. Gm suggests that I wait until full recall is forced on them. Please help

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...

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

"Takata recall" my 2008 saturn vue has been recalled for 3 items, all of which I am experiencing issues with but according to my vin number my vehicle does not apply for these recalls.

Power train:automatic transmission, 3. Steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections. My vehicle is currently at mike anderson...

Once I start driving my automatic 2008 saturn vue after a couple of minutes it will not accelerate much. Its like the shifts get stuck around 3rd or so and it smells like burn. *Tr

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...

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 saturn vue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. Also, the doors would suddenly lock and unlock and the lighting on the instrument panel flashed. The contact stated there were many other electrical malfunctions that would occur without warning. In order to get the vehicle to function correctly, the contact had to turn the vehicle on and off several times. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

While driving vehicle the transmission continued to become stuck in gear and would not change gears on it own. I would have to pull over to side of the road, and turn car completely off allow the car to sit for a couple of minutes and re-crank the car forcing car to reset to gear 1. This has happened numerous times while car was in motion on high way and during pull off.
