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.

Bad news from Saturn of Evansville.
 
They say what is causing the shudder is an "internal converter clutch failure inside the torque converter". The torque converter needs to be replaced in the transmission and it is approx. $2,000 to fix.
 
I'm going to make sure they realize I pay nothing if this does not fix the problem.
 
This really sucks. If you've tried to trade your Vue, you'll find the trade in value is next to nothing. Honda offered me about $5,000 for my 2004 that is in excellent condition (or so I thought it was in excellent condition).
 
This will be my last Saturn. Transmissions should not begin to fail at 50,000 miles.

Please file a complaint regarding this with the NHTSA. I am sure its only a matter of time before everyone from 04 is having the same problem. My front end suspension is so loose it sounds like a old boat creaking down the street.
  
I haven't been brave enough to try and trade the car in. I somehow knew that was going to be the case. Saturn Coporate is rude and ignorant. they offered me 250 dollars for my inconvenience, and the regional manager was supposed to evaluate the VUE.. that has seemed to Dry up.
  
Call Corporate see saturn.com for the number.
 
I agree 50k is not good for a Transmission.
 
The more people that complain the better!
