Vehicle hasn't retained correct amount of fuel. Vehicle has electrical and mechanical issues out of no where. Driver seat has issues that will not allow for the seat to incline but only recline which happened while driving on city street. I'm scared to drive vehicle and I've only had it for almost 2 years.

When it snows my driveway is on a hill and my car is in park it rolls backwards down the hill and ill look outside to find it moved from were I left it. Now for the last few weeks if I park at the store, school, job and get ready to go try to shift the car on drive when I step on the brake to shift it I hear and feel click sound and cant move the gear.

"takata recall" my 2008 Saturn Vue has been recalled for 3 items, all of which I am experiencing issues with but according to my VIN number my vehicle does not apply for these recalls. I did receive a notice a few years ago but since my vehicle was still okay at the time, I never brought it in. The 3 recalls are as follows: 1. latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch, 2. power train:automatic transmission, 3. steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections. My vehicle is currently at mike anderson chevrolett due to these issues but the only item that's appearing covered is the transmission. I don't understand how my VIN has anything to do with the recall when all the 2008 Saturn Vue's are made with the same parts. I would like an investigation to be made due to my vehicle falling under the recall category but not falling under the correct VIN number category. My vehicle currently won't allow me to go pass 40mph, my steering wheel gets locked making it hard for me to turn and there is a leak, also when my locks are unlocked the handles still won't open as if it's still locked. Immediate attention is respectfully requested.

About 8 months ago my check engine light came on so I took it to a dealership to have the code read. They told me it was the evaporative emissions system. It sounded serious so I said just fix it. $600 later my car was running great with no problems. About a week ago my check engine light came on for the same reason. Dealership wont fix it again and basically told me they have done all they can do. They dont know what it is. Everytime I fill my gas tank my car takes about 10 minutes to start again and it struggles. Lots of sputtering and most of the time it starts then dies. Ive been told I wasn't the cause and its probably just a faulty gas cap so I replaced that and the light is still on after having it cleared. Their other explanation was its a Saturn so expect problems. I was not happy to hear that. They replaced the purge valve, vent valve, checked for leaks and everything. There is no reason it should be messed up again especially this soon after replacement. Other than that my car runs great after 4 years of owning and driving it all over the state.
