Consumer Description

AT 24,000 MILES THIS 2005 SATURN VUE NEEDED THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM REPLACED. THEN WHEN BACKING UP AND THEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I HAD TO STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN BEFORE IT WOULD MOVE. THIS WAS AT 28,300 MILES, TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION WENT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW AT 35,533 THE DRIVE SHAFT IS RUSTED AND CENTER SUPPORT IS BLOWN OUT. I ASKED SATURN WHAT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THIS VEHICLE IS AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THESE FAILURES BECAUSE I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MORE SERIOUS AND COSTLY REPAIRS AT 35,533 MILES THAN VEHICLES WITH OVER 100,000 MILES. DRIVING IT IS VERY STRESSFUL AS I NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. *TR
