2008 SATURN VUE Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH AT ABOUT 1500-2000 RPMS THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT WAS USING THE MANUAL MODE. IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP TOO BY THE END OF MY 200 MILE DRIVE TODAY IT WAS SLIPPING BAD AND IT HAS FLUID I TOPPED IT OFF THIS MORNING HOPING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT AND I CONSISTENTLY CHECKED IT THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE AND IT DID NOT GO DOWN OR LOSE FLUID.

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN TWICE DUE TO ANTI LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES. BOTH SYSTEM LIGHTS ARE ON THE DASH. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT THE ONLY FIX IS A STEERING COLUMN WHICH ARE HARD TO FIND. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS

AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE, I TRIED TO USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE CAR. IT DID NOTHING. I USED THE KEY THEN TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THE DOME LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. HOWEVER, THE CAR STARTED UP WITH THE SECOND TURN OF THE KEY. AFTER DRIVING HOME, THE KEY FOB WORKED AGAIN ALONG WITH THE DOME LIGHTS. WHILE DRIVING AT SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, THE RADIO WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CLOCK WILL RESET TO MIDNIGHT AND THE CALENDAR WILL RESET. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE ENGINE IS FIRST STARTED. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.

THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND, STABILITY, ANTISKID LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANTLY. THE CAR WILL DIE AND RESTART W HIKE DRIVING. THE AC BLOWS FROM BOTTOM HEATER VENTS. BATTERY WILL ACTS AS IF DEAD UNTIL I BANG TERMINAL WITH A HAMMER

MY AIRBAG LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF. MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS WON'T RESET. THE STAIRCASE LIGHT IS ON, THE OIL LIGHT, THE SUSPENSION LIGHT. I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR WHICH NOW HAS 99,972 MILES ON IT.

AROUND JUNE 22, 2017HE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ABS, TRACTION CONTROL TC/ESP ELEC. STABILITY, AWD ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, AND BRAKE WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND WILL NOT RESET ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL INDICATING THE SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING/POWERED ON AND/OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ON MAY 9, 2017 SCOTT AUTOMOTIVE PUT NEW BRAKES ON THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT GET A READING FROM THE ABS/TC CONTROL SYSTEM AND SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO A DEALER - IT WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE. A TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AND LATER IN THE WEEK, CARTER AUTO REPAIR REPLACED THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR AND STATED WITH THE CORRECT READING EQUIPMENT THE ABS/TC STILL WAS NOT COMMUNICATING AND ALSO SUGGESTED HAVING GM PERFORM A READING. GM TECHNICIANS' ONLINE RESPONSES TO FORUM COMPLAINTS OF 2008 SATURN VUE (AND OTHER MODELS) STABILITY TRACK SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES LEAD ME TO BELIEVE GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS...

ALL OF MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS INCLUDING MY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT BEEPS WHILE I'M DRIVING BUT IT'S NOT ENGAGED MY SHIFTING IS VERY CHOPPY AND I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE AS WELL A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD I WENT TO A AUTOMOBILE PLACE THEY ERASE ALL THE CODES SO WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT AND EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COULD GO WRONG WITH IT THEY'RE SAYING IT'S WRONG WITH IT BUT IT STILL DRIVES IT HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC SO I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF THE SHIFT IT'S VERY CHOPPY WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THE AUTOMOBILE PLACE THAT IT'S EITHER THE COMPUTER OR THE TRANSMISSION THIS CAR HAS MILE NUMBER 134380 ON IT IT ALWAYS HAS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FLUIDS IN...

WHILE IN MOTION THE FRONT BRAKES STARTED TO ENGAGE THEMSELVES. VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE VERY WELL.VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE. PULLED OVER AND BOTH FRONT WHEELS WERE SMOKING.

OUR 2008 SATURN VUE XE RECENTLY STARTED LOCKING UP THE ABS AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND MOST FRIGHTENINGLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WILL APPLY THE BRAKES AT WILL FOR NO REASON AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS COME ON. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE HAVE REPLACED ALL BRAKE HARDWARE AND THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. WE HAVE DONE COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF SATURN, CHEVROLET, AND COMMODORE VEHICLES EXHIBIT THE SAME ISSUES AND GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIPS DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ANSWER. THE VEHICLE BRAKE ISSUES RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AND CAUSE IMMEDIATE SLOWNESS AND INABILITY TO MANEUVER ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT LOCKS UP. WE CANNOT USE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL RESOURCES AND OPTIONS TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT CANNOT BE TRADED IN WITH THESE ISSUES EITHER. CAN...

GOT IN CAR AND NOTICED THAT MY RADIO HAD BEEN RESET, AND THAT MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I GOT A JUMP FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON THE AIR, THE ODOMETER PANEL FADED OFF. YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE THE ODOMETER READING OR THE OUTSIDE WEATHER TEMP. THE CAR ALSO DELAYS WHEN IT STARTS. SOMETIME IT WONT EVEN START THE FIRST TIME AROUND, UNLESS YOU PUMP AT THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS IN THE PAST, AND I AM ALMOST CERTAIN NONE OF THE RECALLS WERE FIXED BY THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT TO ME IN 2011. *TR

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 4/4/2009 WITH 13,936 MILES ON IT. AS OF THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, THERE ARE 71,694 MILES ON THE CAR OR 57,758 MILES DRIVEN (AVERAGE 11,550 PER YEAR). THIS CAR WAS WELL KEPT AND HAD THE APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE DONE. THE FIRST THING THAT FAILED ON THE CAR WAS THE KEYLESS START. IT FAILED LESS THAN SEVEN MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. LAST WINTER, WE NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY FAILED AND NO LONGER WORKED. ON 6/24/2008; THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WE GET THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS CHECKED EVERY OIL CHANGE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE CAR STARTED MAKING RUBBING NOISES UNTIL NOW THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY FAILED. CAR TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100K MILES. WITH THE HISTORY OF SATURN VUES HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THIS ONE HAS NOW FAILED US. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, MY CAR JUST QUIT, LOCKED UP STEERING, EVERYTHING DEAD. COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OR ANYTHING. CAR DID START UP AGAIN. DROVE DOWN THE ROAD A 1/2 BLOCK AND CAR STOPPED AGAIN, DEAD IN ROAD, NO STEERING, COULD NOT OPERATE DOOR LOCKS OR ANYTHING. CAR STARTED AGAIN AND MANAGED TO MOVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT BEFORE IT WENT OUT AGAIN. NOTHING WAS WORKABLE. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET DEALER IN LLANO, TX IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE POSITIVE CONNECTION TO THE MAIN FUSE BOX HAD COME LOOSE. THE ONLY FIX WAS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUSE BOX ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THE MAIN POSITIVE LUG TO THE FUSE BOX IS ONLY HELD ON BY PLASTIC. THE DESIGN OF THIS FUSE BOX IS DEFINITELY POOR CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE BECAME PERMANENT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE BOTH REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK FEATURE ON MY 2008 SATURN VUE REDLINE. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 16 MONTHS (PURCHASED BRAND NEW) AND WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK INDICATORS TURNED ON IN THE DIC APPROXIMATELY 15-20 TIMES. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTS TO JERK PRETTY ROUGH. I NEED TO PULL OF THE ROAD AND SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE THEN RESTART FOR THE INDICATOR LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENS AT ANY GIVEN TIME MOST OF THE TIME IN IDEAL CONDITIONS EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY. I'VE NEVER TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THAT I'M BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE FOR. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME GOING THERE FOR NO RESULTS BEING THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE DEALERSHIP ON THE ISLAND. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S AN ISOLATED CONDITION OR IF...
