All Electrical System Complaints — Page 2
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STEER AND STOP. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AS OF 06-05-07, THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,344.
LATE AT NIGHT IN A MAJOR DOWNTOWN PARKING DECK, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. GO TO START VEHICLE, CRANKS BUT NEVER TURNS OVER. SHUT VEHICLE OFF, GO TO RESTART AND VEHICLE WILL START. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY FEW DAYS. NOT TO MENTION, SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED MY REMOTE TO UNLOCK AND LOCK DOORS HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES IT WILL LOCK BUT NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND CLEANED CONTACTS ON REMOTE, WHICH TWO TRIES LATER TO GET INTO VEHICLE, DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. *JB
ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENT FAILURES. UNABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK USING REMOTE CONTROL, HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHT, DASH LIGHTS, RADIO (ALL ELECTRICAL EXCEPT ENGINE ACCESSORIES) FAIL RANDOMLY. ON ONE OCCASSION ALL INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A DARK HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY BUT HAD NO HAZARD LIGHTS (AND PRESUMABLY NO BRAKE LIGHTS) TO WARN OTHER TRAFFIC. WIGGLING THE INTERIOR FUSE PANEL RESTORED POWER. LATER CHECKS OF ALL RELAYS AND FUSES REVEALED NO CONTACT OR COMPONENT FAILURES IN EITHER IN INTERIOR OR UNDER-HOOD ELECTRICAL PANELS. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND NO NOTICEABLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR PROBLEMS.*AK
