| After purchasing my saturn vue, january 11, 2011, it required service and a subsequent transmission replacement on or about april 1, 2011. the repair was covered by my extneded warranty, however, the most recent transmission failure, april 2, 2012, was not covered by a warranty. the dealership is seeking to have me pay 50% of the cost to replace, for a second time, a faulty transmission, with no guarantee that its performance will exceed that of my previous transmission replacement. between the cost of both transmissions, the repair to my vehicle exceeds the value of it as a whole. i am terrified that i will encounter this problem again, and cannot afford the cost to repair a problem that was foreseeable then, as well as now. i do not know where to turn, but i feel as though this is an irresponsible way to conduct business, and the improper functioning of this component could be the difference between highway safety and a fatal accident in the event the transmission fails at high speeds. please help make this right for me, and all other consumers not yet aware of the battle that they will, most likely, face if they are in possession of a saturn vue. | |||

| I own a 2005 saturn vue and in june 2011 i experienced a/c failure that took my mechanic several weeks to dignosis the problem. we order the partfrom milton ruben chev dealer and the part was replaced on my vue at the end of june 2011. as of yesterday i was drving down the road and smoke started to rise out from under my vue. i pulled over and noted as long as the ma/c was off that the smoke stopped. my husband took it to our mechanic were the same part at the same place split again now my a/c does not work and it is still 100 plus degrees and the part is not even ninety days old. i believe with all the complaints that i have read on the a/c saturn problems there should be a recall on this part . | |||

| Key gets stuck in ignition and will keep car running. sometimes won't even turn car on with the correct key. takes over 5 mins each time jiggling key to get key cylinder to turn over to start the vehicle. this happens on a daily occurrence and has not seemed to get any better . | |||
