2008 Saturn Vue Brakes Problems

EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING THE ABS BRAKES WILL START ENGAGING EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT HITTING THE BRAKES. THE ABS AND BOTH TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON. THEY ALSO ENGAGE WHILE I AM TRYING TO STOP EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT ON WET/ICY ROADS. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE FIX FOR THIS. WE HAVE CHECKED AND REPLACED EVERYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKES APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (AIRPORT CHEVROLET, 3001 BIDDLE RD, MEDFORD, OR 97504), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED DUE TO LACK OF FAILURE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. *LN UPDATED 8/3/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT, A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD A HOLE DUE TO IMPROPER ROUTING OF THE BRAKE LINE. THE CONTACT DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,430.

BRAKES LOCKUP WHEN DRIVING. ABS BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN AFTER TAKING TO DEALER. PLEASE HELP!! CAR WAS IN MOTION AT NORMAL SPEEDS 55 MPH WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS.

I HAVE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INDICATE AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM ABS AND STABILITY RESPONSE TO MY VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN AT NTB STATED MY WIRING HARNESS IS CORRODED. TO ME THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING TO HAVE GENERAL MAINTENANCE. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALLS NOTED FOR THIS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. ALTHOUGH I CAN STILL BRAKE THE CAR.

THE BREAKS LOCK UP AND THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE, THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPS MOVING. THE BREAK PETAL GETS EXTREMELY HOT.

MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THE VEHICLE FEELS SLUGGISH LIKE DRIVING THROUGH QUICKSAND AND THAT THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON EVERY SO OFTEN.TODAY I DROVE THE VUE TO WORK AND IN THAT 17 MILE DRIVE I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING LIKE A FLAT TIRE OR AN UNBALANCED RIM. I GOT OFF THE EXIT AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE ENSURING THAT NO TIRES WERE FLAT AND THAT NO LUG NUTS WERE LOOSE. I DID NOTICE THAT THE RIMS FELT EXTREMELY HOT BUT SEEING AS I HAD DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I CALLED ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSIS AND WAS INFORMED THAT TWO TIRES WERE A LITTLE LOW. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND RETURNED HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. AFTER WORK ON THE SAME DAY WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THE 2 STABILITRAK LIGHTS DID NOT TURN OFF. WE CALLED ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK BUT NOT BRAKES AND THAT IT SHOULD BE SERVICED WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DEALERS NOT KNOWING HOW TO RESOLVE IT BUT CHARGING CONSUMERS ANYWAYS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING THE SAME ROUTE AS THE IGNITION RECALL AND IS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN A DECADE BEFORE THE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THAT FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

I PURCHASED A SATURN VUE 2008 AUTOMOBILE WHICH WAS PURCHASED ON FEB.18,2008. I'VE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE, BOTH DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. THE FIRST ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 27,2008, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:15AM. I WAS MANEUVERING MY VEHICLE IN A GARAGE AREA WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE , THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE THUS "STOPPING " THE CAR, THE CAR WAS MOVING 5-10 M.P.H. THE SECOND ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON JULY 17, 2008 AT 4:15PM. I WAS 3 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 25 M.P.H WHEN I STEPPED ON MY BRAKE PEDDLE WHICH "AGAIN" WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SATURN DEALER ON THE 17TH OF JULY 2008 AND AS OF THIS DATE, AUGUST 26, 2008, SATURN STILL RETAINS POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE ALLEGING TO BE HAVING IT REPAIRED. THERE IS 8,283 MILES ON THIS CAR WHICH I AM APPREHENSIVE AND FRIGHTEN TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THE "NEXT" ACCIDENT WILL BE MY LAST.I HAVE "NO" CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AND FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT IS RELEASED FROM THE SATURN DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WHILE I AM "ALIVE" DO SOMETHING FOR ME CONCERNING A NEW REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR MONEY REFUND. FORTUNATELY I AM ALIVE TO WRITE THIS MESSAGE TO YOU. THESE "TWO" ACCIDENTS OCCURRED BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN, BUT BY A MANUFACTURERS "DEFECT" LOCATED IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR APRIL 23, AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. AT 200 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE EVAP CANISTER. BUT I WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS AND THEN IT WOULD REDLINE AND KICK IN TO THE NEXT GEAR. BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY CONSTANT. THE VEHICLE WOULD ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFT ON FLAT GROUND AND ON SLIGHT GRADES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT AS I DROVE OFF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THEN WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT AGAIN THEY SAID THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE WASN'T WORKING CORRECTLY SO THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. WELL WHEN I DROVE OFF ABOUT 25 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 30MPH-60MPH. IT ALSO ROLLS BACK WHEN IN THE DRIVE WAY OR AT A SLIGHT INCLINE AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. IM SCHEDULE FOR ANOTHER APPT. ONCE AGAIN TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
