I have replaced my headlights 4 times(both sides) and wire harness keeps melting. I have made a complaint before and received no response. I have now purchased the wire harness and I hope this will not burn also. 2. The car jumps when shifting in reverse which indicates the parking pawl. This has been an issue for over a year now and no response returned. 3. Water is leaking into my car. The front and backseat floors are soaked. Looks like the seal around the firewall is not sealing properly. I saw multiple people have the same issue on the 2008-2010 saturn vue. Why isn't there a recall? This could cause a major electrical issue.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Both headlight wiring melted. Replaced both side headlights and after 2 years the wire harness melted again the parking pawl gets stuck often. When putting the car in reverse the parking pawl gets stuck. Then it will eventually go into reverse but the car jerks and makes a clunking noise. The light issue I've been dealing with for the last 3 years now. The parking pawl issue has been like this for over a year 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
Now this is like the 5th time I think I have wrote a letter to this company and no one has answered me I've had problems with my car being parked on a hill and it rolls backwards when no one's inside of it and other little things thats on the saturn recall but my car is not on the list. But now I'm having a problem with my back door not shutting when I shut it it opens unexpectently. In the words of car talk it's called 1. Transmission case porosity at park pawl 2. Outside door handle sticks/bind. Also the interior lights on the trans stick is out, my warning dash boards light come in for no reason 1st it was oil light which I received an oil change a month ago and now it's the check engine light, car alarm goes off when the back door acts up. Now I hope to here from someone soon. I might go to the news cause I need help and you people not helping so that might make u move faster. But if I die of my car rolls away and kills one of these kids outside I will sue you people so hard. Waiting for an awser bye. Fyi ive been having problems with this car since I bought it in 2014.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 saturn vue. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the tilted steering wheeling was maneuvered in a downward position and then the driver 's side turn signal and both high beam headlights began to illuminate independently. The failure was not diagnosed nor was the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Passenger headlight went out. I attempted to fix it, but a new bulb doesn't resolve the issue. The protective cover over the wiring going to the light is melted and there are noticeable burn marks around the light and light housing.
Tail lights quit working.
