Ditto ... ditto ... ditto. Your problems are a carbon copy of the problems I have been having with my own 2004 Vue. I have had three pair of rotors installed on this vehicle since I purchased it new. Four sets of brakes have also been installed. I also have a constant sqweeking noise in the front end ... This shudder from the transmission started at about 35K and has consistently gotten worse over the years. I now have 140 000 Kms and it feels like the transmission could drop out at any time.
Has anyone heard of a recent recall on Saturn Vues just released this May?
I feel your frustration I too have same issues. Dealer has never been able to find the problem ... the only problem is that I bought a GM product, bad move on my part!

Let's keep this going guys and perhaps we can build a real portfolio on this problem and put it to our dealerships as a real, and frustrating problem. One of the respondents a few entries back referenced a transmission problem that had a recall number and some VIN #s to go with it. Cross checking the VIN, it didn't appear to be a VIN at all, not the right number and type of characters. And the implication was that the recall was for trannies from the 2008 model.

I have an appointment with Saturn of Evansville (IN) for Wednesday, May 21, 2008. I'll let you know what they find (if anything), I'm already apprehensive as they told me they have not heard of this problem before.

Lets gather as many VUE owners together and file a claim this is absolutely ridiculous, Faulty Brakes, Faulty Wheel Bearings, Faulty, Faulty, Faulty,
It might be time to get the National Highway Transportation and Safety Adm involved. (that title is prolly wrong.)
Just curious.. are these REDLINE VUES?

I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA this morning. I am going to file another complaint with Saturn. My hope is that we a group of owners will get some form of assistance for the Unsafe Vehicles they have sold us.

Thanks,
Heres the complaint number: 10228536
It might take a couple of days for it to be searchable, but If anyone else would like to reference it might be helpful all involved.
I have also contacted the consumerist(consumerist.com) and hopefully we can start a dialog with that group.
BBB stated that its not lemon eligible because of Age.
I asked for a formal complaint to be processed. I have documentation from the first major service visit.
maybe, just maybe, they will assist those of us with these problems.
I also discuss the suspension that have been worn since about 36k, and all the other oddities.
