TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE AND WAS HANGING DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND DECIDED TO REPLACE THE STABILIZER BAR. TWO YEARS LATER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,410 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,756.

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
