When the key switch is in the on position there is a click at the position (approximately ten degrees, right) where the steering wheel lock appears to be attempting to engage. This could lock up the steering wheel while making a slow right turn, as when exiting a freeway. When the key switch is in lock position and key is removed the warning chime still occurs when the door is opened.

"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.

Traveling at 80 mph on interstate, stepped on gas to change lanes, and engine revved, but no power to move. Had to run off of the highway onto the grass berm. Before that happened, the steering wheel had been acting strangely - much vibration and play. My sister and I could have been killed had the car overturned or something at that speed. Now I am told the car needs new transmission, struts, and power steering issue still being looked at. Can I get any help from GM dealer with this dangerous issue. I read that these exact issues affected my model and year, with recalls. Please investigate and advise.

While driving to school my 2008 Saturn Vue the power steering suddenly went out. I parked and turned off the car. After 15minutes I restarted it and started driving everything was fine. This is the 3th time that it happens. I spend some money fixing it and it happens again. I would like to know what is the problem or what part I need to replace. I know that this is a common problem and the GM is doing nothing to fix the problem

My wife told me she was having some difficulty steering so I drove the car myself this morning. As I started out, yes, I found turning the steering wheel felt quite klunky. When I got up on the freeway all of a sudden the steering wheel just locked straight ahead. I bumped the brakes and hit the steering wheel to get the car to veer right to get onto the exit. By the grace of god I made it. Then it all of a sudden got a bit looser and I was able to get back home. It's at the mechanic now.
