2002 Saturn Vue Vehicle speed control Problems

“Electrical system starting to act up (every dashboard light comes on) causing the vehicle to lose power and stall while driving. Steering power was lost and brakes became very soft. Happens at random speeds from 20mph and up to 65mph. Very scary! I have a child and I couldn't get my hazard lights to come on until the electrical calmed down. Was nearly rear-ended multiple times with a child in the vehicle. Finally had to replace the throttle body on the vehicle which is very expensive.”

“I have a Saturn VUE 2002. I took into a Saturn dealership for repairs in july 17, 08. Saturn repeatedly told me the part was coming. On aug 3, 2008, they asked me to pick up my vehicle, I was informed that the part was not available and would not be in until the 18th of august. Now Saturn is stating the part may not come in until the end of september. My throttle body system needs to be replaced. My car will simple shut off while I traveling, I may be going 65 miles per hour and the vehicle will completely shut off with no warning. At times the vehicle will simply not start.”
