 I purchased a saturn vue 2008 automobile which was purchased on feb.18,2008. i've had two accidents with this vehicle, both due to brake failure. the first accident occurred on june 27,2008, at approximately 7:15am. i was maneuvering my vehicle in a garage area when i stepped on the brake , the peddle went to the floor and the car crashed into the garage thus stopping the car, the car was moving 5-10 m.p.h. the second accident occurred on july 17, 2008 at 4:15pm. i was 3 car lengths behind another vehicle traveling 25 m.p.h when i stepped on my brake peddle which again went down to the floor and i crashed into the car in front of me. my vehicle was towed to the saturn dealer on the 17th of july 2008 and as of this date, august 26, 2008, saturn still retains possession of my vehicle alleging to be having it repaired. there is 8,283 miles on this car which i am apprehensive and frighten to drive. i feel that the next accident will be my last.i have no confidence in this vehicle and fear for my life. i don't want to take possession of this vehicle when it is released from the saturn dealers service department. while i am alive do something for me concerning a new replacement vehicle or money refund. fortunately i am alive to write this message to you. these two accidents occurred by no fault of my own, but by a manufacturers defect located in the brake system. *tr

 I bought this car april 23, and the following week i began to have problems. at 200 miles the check engine light came on. i took it to the dealer and they said it was the evap canister. but i was also experiencing problems with the automatic transmission trying to switch gears. the vehicle would hesitate when i pressed down on the gas and then it would redline and kick in to the next gear. but it would not stay constant. the vehicle would abruptly downshift on flat ground and on slight grades. the dealership said the problem was fixed, but as i drove off it happened again. i ended up having to schedule another appt for them to look at the vehicle. then when they looked at it again they said the computer system in the vehicle wasn't working correctly so they said they fixed it. well when i drove off about 25 miles down the road the problem occurred again. when i try to slow down the brake pedal would go to the floor. i have almost been in a few accidents because of this. the problem occurred at 30mph-60mph. it also rolls back when in the drive way or at a slight incline at a stop sign/light. this vehicle is not safe. im schedule for another appt. once again to try and resolve the problem. *tr
