Saturn VUE problems and owner complaints

I HAVE ALSO FOUND A METAL CLANKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER''S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF PARK, OR REVERSE. IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 12 TO 30 MPH, AGAIN THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF MOSTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COASTING AND LOSING MOMENTUM. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY AID OF BRAKING OF ANY KIND AND AS THE VEHICLE WOULD ATTEMPT TO DOWN SHIFT, IT WOULD SOMETIMES MAKE A CLANKING NOISE, OR BUCK, OR IN THE MOST EXTREME CASES COMPLETELY STALL OUT.

THE RESULT WAS A COLLISION THAT TOTALED THE SATURN AND ANOTHER DRIVER'S VOLVO. *NLM

THE HORN ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO DIFFICULT TO OPERATE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY USELESS. WHILE DRIVING, A PERSON CANNOT FEEL WITH HIS/HER FINGERS THE DIFFERENCE IN TEXTURE ON THE WHEEL FROM WHERE THE HORN IS LOCATED AND WHERE IT IS NOT. ONCE IT IS FOUND, THE PLASTIC IS SO DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MUST APPLY AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WITH THEIR ENTIRE FIST FOR THE HORN TO GO OFF, AND FINALLY, THE AREA TO ACTIVATE THE HORN IS SO SMALL IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, I ESTIMATE IT IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THE NAIL ON MY THUMB…

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE CHUGGS (SURGES) AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER AND THEY BASICALLY SAY "ALL SYSTEMS OPERATING AS INTENDED". THIS SITUATION IS VERY SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT NUMBER 567762. *NLM
