NHTSA Complaint #10220717 — 2003 SATURN VUE

THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING JUST ABOUT SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY 2003 MANUAL SATURN VUE. I DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LOSES POWER AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHTS COME ON. THE CAR VERY SUDDENLY AND DANGEROUSLY LOSES POWER ON THE FREEWAY, I'VE HAD THIS OCCUR ON THE 405/5 SPLIT WHERE THERE WERE NO SHOULDERS TO PULL OVER TO. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTART TO RETURN TO NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'VE TAKEN THIS CAR IN 8 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SATURN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE. EACH TIME THEY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT BY REPLACING THINGS, THE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED ALL ELECTRONIC WIRING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT ONLY OCCURS AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS! I KNOW THIS HAS AFFECTED OTHER VUE OWNERS BECAUSE I HAVE READ SEVERAL BLOGS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS. *TR
