2007 Saturn Vue

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON;, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER,THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOW MILEAGE FLICKER, POWER STEERING IS OFF, WINDOWS DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK. TAKES 10-15 MINS FOR CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND POWER TO BE RESTORED TO CAR, BEFORE THEN YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT. ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY . CAR BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS, LATE FOR PICKING MY CHILDREN UP AND GETTING THEM FROM SCHOOL, DUE TO WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING DAILY, AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED YET.I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE, BUT I WILL TAKE PIC/VIDEO IF YOU NEED ONE

DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD TO AVOID HITTING A VEHICLE AFTER BEING CUT OFF. THIS RESULTED IN USING GREATER THAN USUAL BRAKE FORCEAT THAT MOMENT, HEARD POP NOISE WHICH CAME FROM REAR OF VEHICLE THEN VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT AT THE SAME INSTANT STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MOVE CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE RAPIDLY. HAD TO BRING VEHICLE UNDER 35 MPH TO GET STEERING UNDER CONTROL (ALMOST LOST CONTROL INTO CEMENT BARRIER) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BACK TO SPEED LIMIT VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY FOR ALMOST 2 MILES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. WHEN BRAKING ON OFF RAMP VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT ! LATER THAT DAY HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AND TECH FOUND REAR SUBFRAME BOLT HAD LOST ITS HEAD (LITERALLY) APPEARED TO BE BADLY RUSTED BELOW DEPTH OF SUBFRAME.. BOLT WAS REPLACED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED,TWO DAYS LATER LEFT FRONT WHEEL LOCKS WHEN COMING TO STOP OR WHEN BRAKES ARE PUMPED 2-3 APPLICATIONS. HAD FRONT PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED BRAKES FLUSHED.,REAR BRAKES CHECKED AND SERVICED. NO INDICATION OF STICKING CALIPERS OR FLEX HOSE ISSUES. . VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED UN EXPLAINED WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT. NEARLY REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN WOT OCCURRED. THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM HAVE DRAINED MY POCKETBOOK. NEVER HAVE I ENCOUNTERED THIS MANY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES WHICH I OWNED. . *TR
