The car definitely has electrical problems: my heated seats haven't worked in 3 years, it randomly locks/unlocks doors (whenever /wherever it damn well pleases, even while I'm driving it; I've locked the keys in car more than once, etc).
Every time it rains, my front passenger floorboard gets soaking wet.
It is not uncommon for the check engine light to be on, every time I bring it somewhere to diagnose the light, I get a code for he battery pack.
Since last Tuesday (12/31/13), it has been parked in my boyfriend's driveway, refusing to start. We thought it might be the ignition switch, but now, it looks like either the starter which is covered in oil, or the battery pack. I've put some miles on it, yes somewhere around 130,000, but I've had problems with it since 2010.
NEED MORE INFORMATION ON A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!
Please contact me!!
Hello,
It's never a good idea to post your email address and phone number in a public forum (which is why we don't allow it).

I have a 2008 Saturn Vue with 50,000 miles. I noticed the a/c was only blowing hot air this past summer. I took it to the GMC dealer. I paid $150 for them to replenished the fluids. The air then worked for 1 month. This winter I have now found that the heat doesn't work either unless I am on the highway. I have been driving my kids around in a car with no heat in -30 degree weather. Is there a recall we have not been informed of?
I had same problem with inside door handles the literally cut my hand and passengers. Had them replaced at my cost. How cheap can GM get?
I had same problem where the AC would out of the blue suddenly start blowing hot air in 100 degree weather. Tried to have it repaired , but unsuccessful. Personally I believe it is the actuator in the the dash the controls some kind of flapper or door to divert either cold or hot air. The problem in my Saturn XR Vue 2008 is especially when the AC is set on automatic, but just recently it does it in any mode. There is also a lot of clicking and popping sound that is not normal. I've own 6 GM in past without this problem. This issue should be recalled as defective and paid repair by GM!
Hi - I am in the same boat as all of you with the a/c clutch gone missing. My Saturn Vue Hybrid lost cooling last summer and I've now learned the clutch is missing and the whole compressor needs to be replaced because of it. Has anyone had any success with GM customer service? Any acknowledgment that it's a manufacturer defect? Please inform. I've also read that a class action may be brought forth - anyone else know of this? thx!
Good evening fellow Saturn VUE owners. I figured I would come back here to share some promising news for those like me who suffer from no a/c at idle or below 2,000 rpm. It appears a member over at SaturnFans.com has found a solution to address the issue. There is a scroll compressor control valve that can be purchased for $35 here http://www.acpartshouse.com/inventory/116597-scroll-compressor-control-valve that addresses the issue. The part is only listed for the 3.5L V6 on the site, but they confirmed it also works on the 2.2 L L4. The replacement is pretty simple. The hardest part is you have to completely evacuate all of the refrigerant from the system before the part can be removed and replaced. You then must recharge the system. Here is a link to the message thread http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=191521. Here is another link to a YouTube video discussing this as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPUHOnei3g8. I hope this is able to help some of you that have been frustrated like me. I have the part on order and plan to replace it next week. Pretty sad that GM/Saturn didn't know of this inexpensive solution to this issue. Instead they are having owners replace the entire compressor and drier assemblies for a lot of money. Good luck!
