I PURCHASED MY 2009 SATURN VUE XR V6 A YEAR AGO. AFTER DRIVING MY SATURN DURING THE 1ST MONTH I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE A/C WAS BLOWING WARM AIR WHEN I WAS NEEDING TO COOL THE INSIDE OF THE CABINET . WE HAD VERY HOT CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN N.C WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING IN ACCESS OF 100 DEGREES. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET THE WINDOWS DOWN TO SURVIVE THE HEAT. I AM ANGRY WITH GM NOW AS THEY ARE APPEARING TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RECALL IN SIGHT TO DATE. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS REPORTED TO HAVE REPAID AT LEAST 30 PERCENT OF TARP MONEY THEY RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNMENT BAILOUT AND REPORTED BILLIONS IN PROFIT. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN VUE. THE FASTEST AND CHEAPEST FROM OF ADVERTISING IN STILL WORD OF MOUTH. I WILL EXPRESS TO MY FRIENDS , FAMILY AND STRANGERS I MEET WITH MY DISPLEASURE WITH THE GM PRODUCT. THE A/ C PROBLEM WITH MY SATURN VUE OCCURS EVERYTIME I TURN ON THE UNIT. A CABIN SENSOR UNIT WAS REPLACE ONCE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I AM NOT HAPPY MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR MY SATURN VUE WITH THIS PROBLEM CONTINUING TO EXIST WITH MY A/C. *TR

MY 2009 SATURN VUE HYBRID WAS PURCHASES IN JAN 2009. SINCE THAT TIME MY CAR BATTERY HAS DIED 4 TIMES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SATURN DEALER IN SAVANNAH THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY BUT MY HYBRID BATTERY HAD A RECALL. AFTER 10 DAYS THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED BACK TO ME WITH A NEW HYBRID BATTERY HOWEVER, THE 12 V CONTINUES TO DIE. THE GM DEALER IN HINESVILLE GA SAID THAT BATTERIES WILL DIE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS. I LIVE IN SE GEORGIA. I HAVE NO GPS, RADAR DETECTOR, MPS PLAYER , DVD PLAYER ETC PLUGGED INTO MY VUE TO ACCOUNT FOR WEATHER OR BATTERY DRAIN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO DOC APPT, SOCCER, SHOPPING AND DAYCARE KNOWING THAT BY USES A HYBRID I WAS BEING KINDER TO THE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN MY BATTERY DIED LAST NIGHT I CONTACTED ON STAR TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. ON STAT DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE BATTER HOWEVER, MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VUE HYBRID AND MY DEALERSHIP IS NOT BEING FORTHRIGHT ABOUT THE LARGER ISSUE. EVENTUALLY MY WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT AND THEN I WILL BE STUCK WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE LEMON! PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHILE CHANGING A FLAT TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE, THE FACTORY-SUPPLIED SCREW-TYPE JACK COLLAPSED, AND BENT ALMOST IN HALF. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET AND THE JACK WAS PROPERLY LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART.
GM IS RECALLING 2,149 MY 2009 SATURN VUE VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN INCORRECT RIGHT AND/OR LEFT FRONT STEERING KNUCKLE. AS A RESULT OF THE INCORRECT KNUCKLE AND RESULTING INADEQUATE CLEARANCE, THE TIE ROD BALL STUD COULD PULL OUT OF, OR FRACTURE, THE TIE ROD HOUSING. THIS COULD CAUSE THE TIE ROD TO SEPARATE FROM THE KNUCKLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: ALTHOUGH STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE MAINTAINED AFTER A TIE ROD SEPARATION BY THE UNAFFECTED WHEEL ON SMOOTH ROADS OR DURING LIGHT BRAKING, WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT SUSPENSION OR BRAKING INPUTS, THE AFFECTED WHEEL COULD TURN OUT AND SKID. IF A VEHICLE BUILT WITH TWO INCORRECT STEERING KNUCKLES HAD BOTH TIE RODS SEPARATE AT THE SAME TIME, STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE LOST, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING KNUCKLES AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE STEERING KNUCKLE(S) AND TIE ROD(S). THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 8, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876 OR THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AT <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM>HTTP://WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM</A> .

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE FLUID COULD CONTACT HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE NUT SECURING THE POWER STEERING LINE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP. IF THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF A FLUID LEAK, DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE NUT. IF A FLUID LEAK IS PRESENT, DEALER WILL TIGHTEN THE NUT AND CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2008.
