Occasionally there has been a line of smoke coming from my steering column when I start the car. Now my windshield wipers will not turn off unless I remove the fuse. I am concerned about a fire and will be getting it fixed, however I have read of other saturn owners having this same problem. So I know mine is not the only car out there to have this problem.

I have an 03 saturn vue with multiple issues. I should have complained years ago but I am only now seeing the blogs regarding this dangerous hideous vehicle. The back window wiper blades work whenever, sporadically; the emergency flashers are inoperable most of the time, the button that turns them on is defective,;the electrical system- caution lights come on and off;reduced power light comes on and the car will not accelerate in heavy traffic. I have had some close calls in this vehicle and I realized it should of not been allowed to be on the road. It is a disaster. Why are our tax dollars bailing out companies like gm when they make such defective, death traps as this? Something is truly wrong here. Run from the saturn vue -hopefully it will not be on the road much longer but I just don't want to be one of its casualties.

The windshield cracked when hand washing the car! Mild california weather, normal hose temperature. Windshield fractured outward from under edge at the top center. There were no chips or cracks prior. Dealer says the extended warranty does not cover glass. We thought getting the extended warranty did just that, extended the normal warranty. Now we have an unsafe vehicle that is too expensive to fix!
