I filed complaint #71-1121414572 with General Motors. I have yet to receive any information as to whether or not the complaint has been resolved. The dealership that sold me the car should be reprimanded in some manner.
 
I have no confidence in the longevity and safety of this vehicle as I feel it may fall apart at any time. My main concern is with the vibration in brakes. I have documentation of my complaint regarding the brakes with two GM dealerships. If injuries occur due to brake failure, litigation will be filed. Your warranty is supposed to provide peace of mind – I shouldn’t have to rebuild the car using the warranty. Due to the numerous times I had to take this vehicle in for repair, I feel that the warranty should be extended for another 12 months and/or 12,000 miles. I am fully aware that I purchased a used vehicle. That is why, when I had a choice, I chose the Certified Pre Owned vehicle.
 
I was sold a defective GM product by a GM dealership. I put a substantial amount of money into the purchase of this car. GM needs to back up its products.

I think the horn relay is electronic and is intragal with the plug that plugs directly into the horn.
Makes it difficult to replace/ add another after market horn set.
Anyone know anything about this?

I purchased an 07 saturn vue about 2 years ago from a dealership but the vehicle had 1 previous owner. about 2 weeks after i purchased the car started hearing noises and a big vibration, i took it to a shop and was told it was the driveshaft center support rubber. i called a GM dealership and was told that that part was not covered by the "powertrain warrenty" i had to pay the money out of pocket to have it fixed, now i have the same problem again, took it to the shop and that same part has to be replaced. I have spoken with one other person who also has an 07 vue and she has had the same problem with hers. Has anyone else had this problem?

when i went to the dealership i was told that they had no record of me being there 2 years ago, they also told me that because my vue is an 07 that the powertrain was expired therefor they could do nothing to help me. when i went 2 years ago to find out what the problem was they quoted me at a price of over $500.00 therefor i took my vehicle to another shop to have it fixed. My vue has around 99,000 miles on it now and had 75,000 on it 2 years ago when this problem was fixed the last time. I went to your socialmedia web site and they wanted to charge me to post anything. There obviously has to be a problem here if its been less then 2 years ago that the same problem happened and i now have to pay to have it fixed again, also the shop that i take mine to they have had others with the same problem, i wish i would have never spend my hard earned money on this vehicle when i have nothing but problems.

biggirl155,
I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly - did you try to use the email I provided (socialmediagm.com) and were prompted to pay to send an email? This should not be the case.

A few days ago, the ABS and Traction Control lights came on. I took the vehicle in and while driving, the brake pedal vibrated. Finally, the dealership found the problem - the left wheel speed sensor was found to be "open". Because I had the car in earlier for the same problem while the car was under warranty, the dealership didn't charge me for the repair. I'm done with GM

"Change oil soon" light came on, checked dipstick and was dry, put 4 quarts of oil in... then a mile down the road massive amounts of white smoke came out of the tailpipe/rear end. There is no oil on the ground and the temperature gauge fluxuates. Also, a separate issue... the dash "battery light" flashes on and off especially when I try to go uphill. Any ideas would be really helpful.

Did you put the oil cap back on?
