THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY WIRING MELTED, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE.

Incident: May 12, 2016 · Filed: May 17, 2016

MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT COMPLETELY TOTALED OUR 2007 SATURN VUE. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE ENDED UP UPSIDE DOWN IN A RAVINE AFTER HITTING A SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT NEITHER OF THEM WAS OPERATIONAL. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT WHAT A HORRIBLE TURN OUT THIS COULD HAVE HAD. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD!

I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN FEB OF 2015. IT HAD 92.000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I PAID $8K. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. FIRST, THE STEERING WAS BAD. APPARENTLY IT'S A COMMON ISSUE FOR GM VEHICLES TO HAVE A RACK AND PINION ISSUE. IT NEEDED TO BE REGREASED, WHICH WAS AN EASY FIX, AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME. THE NEXT MONTH I MOVED FROM MN TO GA AND WHEN I GOT DOWN HERE (IT'S HOT) REALIZED THE AC DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I DECIDED TO BE SWEATY ALL SUMMER. BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SEIZED UP AC COMPRESSOR WAS THREATENING MY ENTIRE SERPENTINE BELT. SO I GOT THAT FIXED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER. JUST A WEEK AFTER THAT FIX, MY BRAKES WENT OUT. THE CAR JERKED AND SQUEAKED AND IT WAS GENERALLY SO BAD THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS SO LOUD IT WAS EMBARRASSING. I TOOK IT IN AND THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND ONE BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $850. THE REMAINING PROBLEMS ARE: AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS, BUT RECENTLY IT DOESN'T EVER TURN OFF. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, BUT I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM HAVING THE BREAKS FIXED. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR WAS A TOTAL LEMON.
