| 2004 saturn vue, rear seat, middle, seatbelt doesn't stay latched. i was carpooling some kids and it appeared that the seat belt latched, but when we came to a quick stop, the seatbelt was not actually engaged. it was a false latch condition. now there is a recall on saturn outlooks due to similar condition. | |||

| I was stopped at a stop sign behind another vehicle in my 2004 saturn vue when a suburban rear-ended me at approximately 40+ miles per hour. i then hit the suv that was stopped in front of me - and we both went approximately 100 feet forward from the stop sign. the impact totaled my truck to the point of the rear was crushed to the back seat and the front frame was broken in half with about a 1 inch gap. my issues with the safety are: the drivers side seat broke nearly all the way back into the rear seat to the right with the seat sliding back and forth. the air bags did not deploy - yes, i was originally rear-ended - however the impact to the front was extensive as well. the driver's seat belt did not engage causing me to hit my face and head against the steering wheel causing severe neck pain (a cervical sprain) and a broken nose requiring surgery to repair. *nm | |||

| 2004 vue multiple issues... first issue less then 100 miles on vehicle, depressed brakes car continued to creep at stop sign. diagnostics at saturn dealership: split in brake line, replaced under warranty. second issue: less then 300 miles on vehicle, quick stop caused rear seat safety harness to become disconnected from vehicle wall.. daughter was not restrained and slid forward in seat. saturn diagnostics: someone was not doing their job the day it was made... they tightened screw back into wall of car and have not had issues since... this was uncalled for and should have been caught during safety inspection. third issue: saw details on news about recall on this model of vue, contacted saturn dealership about it and was told that we would be getting information in the mail about repairs. fourth issue: about 20,000 on vue, went to store and was functional, came out and car would not start, over half a tank of gas in vehicle and gauge shows empty, bought gas can and put 5 more gallons of gas in car. still shows empty and car would not start, no word on reason for failure beaches it happened today (10/23/05). *nm | |||
