Incorrect gas gauge reading. 11 gal. Tank is close to empty at the 1/2 mark. Has been doing this since the day purchased, but until I saw the news about other gm vehicles last evening, I wasn't aware who to place a complaint with. At the 1/2 mark, takes 7-8 gal. Of gas to top off. Shocked at first gas purchase after buying car since gauge was reading 1/2 full; adjusted my gas purchases accordingly over the years, always keeping watchful eye on gauge.

I have unfortunately owned my saturn 2004 vue for 2 years. The first 3 months of having it, after having to replace my 2003 vue for all the problems it had was in the shop the first 4 months of purchase. The power engine failure light would go on and I would lose all power to the car. They had no idea how to fix it. Then the back windshield shattered. The gas mileage is horrible and the whole gas tank and odometer has had to be replaced. I would feel the car up with gas and the odometer would go to full and move back up to half full. The car is in the shop again for throttle and engine problems again. Have had the real displeasure of working with a very rude lady at saturn by the name of marcia who clearly does not care about ones safety in their vehicle. According to saturn the newer vehicles have had these problems fixed. However, I must say having been a saturn owner for 12 years now my faith in their product is gone.

2004 vue multiple issues... First issue less then 100 miles on vehicle, depressed brakes car continued to creep at stop sign. Diagnostics at saturn dealership: split in brake line, replaced under warranty. Second issue: less then 300 miles on vehicle, quick stop caused rear seat safety harness to become disconnected from vehicle wall.. Daughter was not restrained and slid forward in seat. Saturn diagnostics: someone was not doing their job the day it was made... They tightened screw back into wall of car and have not had issues since... This was uncalled for and should have been caught during safety inspection. Third issue: saw details on news about recall on this model of vue, contacted saturn dealership about it and was told that we would be getting information in the mail about repairs. Fourth issue: about 20,000 on vue, went to store and was functional, came out and car would not start, over half a tank of gas in vehicle and gauge shows empty, bought gas can and put 5 more gallons of gas in car. Still shows empty and car would not start, no word on reason for failure beaches it happened today (10/23/05).
