When turning the car on;, the exterior and interior lights flicker,the radio turns off and on, the lights on the dashboard that show mileage flicker, power steering is off, windows do not go up or down and locks do not unlock. Takes 10-15 mins for car to stop flickering and power to be restored to car, before then you cannot drive it. Abs light and check engine go on and off intermittently . Car battery has died 3 times. I have been late for appointments, late for picking my children up and getting them from school, due to waiting for the car to stop flickering and malfunctioning. This has been ongoing daily, and it was not able to be fixed yet.I do not have a picture, but I will take pic/video if you need one

Air bag light will be on, or flash periodically when already fastened. Had an electrical fire in the left side of steering column 7/27/18. Cruise goes in and out. Dim/bright light comes on when using turn signal. Ignition switch locks up from time to time where key can't be removed and steering wheel locks up or you can remove key but switch is still engaged. Vehicle has been in motion when most incidents occurred and lockups occur depending on what position the steering wheel is in (adjustable). The electrical fire happened just as I exited the highway from a 30 minute trip after releasing the cruise control button. Luckily I was only 4 blocks from home. Cfd was called and they dismantled the column, extinguished the fire. I was blessed. This could have been worse!

Brought my 2007 saturn vue to repair a powerful gasoline smell around the rear of car, near gas cap. Said it would cost $332 to lift out fuel tank to see where the problem was. 4 hours later, mechanic said the tank was drenched with gasoline because the lines to the fuel pump were crimped and cracked so there was gasoline leaking out. (wonder why I was refueling so often?) I need a new fuel pump costs $600. I'll be sure to use my 10% off coupon. The worst part was no engine light ever came on to warn me!!!! Also within the last 10 months, I have had the battery replaced, 2 new lift gates, brakes and new tires. I have always been good about oil changes/maintenance but I guess new cars are only supposed to last 10 years. Bummer!

Detected strong odor of gas around rear of car. Two different mechanics had the car on a lift and could not discover source of gasoline smell. Two or three thousand miles later, we took the car to a third mechanic and, using an inspection camera, he immediately found that the primary fuel pump had a cracked fuel fitting. The mechanic advised how dangerous this leak could be as it was directly over the exhaust. This is my wife's car and she had been using it to commute 400 miles round trip to help with our newest grandchild. Cost to repair is over $400.00. This is not a hazard unique to our vehicle; refer to saturn vue fuel leak at www.saturnfans.com. Considering contacting a lawyer due to the serious nature of this common hazard that has not been addressed by gm.

I have two major complaints with the vehicle. The key can be removed from the ignition while in the "on" position and is hard to start. Gm has claimed this vehicle is not covered under the ignition recall the second complaint, the vehicle leaks fuel from above the tank which seems to be typical to saturn vues.

My vue has mysteriously started emitting a strong scent of fuel before I could get it into a day alert to diagnose and service it I was on the road when a fire started in the rear of my vehicle filling it with smoke. I pulled over and my boyfriend extinguished the flames but my brake light and dash light and instrumentation had been damage from electrical harnesses frying . Also needed to replace fuel pump return system and float as they were the initial cracked cause. Very scary thank god and jesus my baby girls weren't in the car or that worse had happened.
