2009 Saturn Vue Engine Problems

“I was driving on the highway, cruising at 70 in the far left hand lane, and suddenly my vehicle speed dropped to 40 MPH and error codes started flashing on the dash (decrease engine, engine, stability track system, traction control, and others I don't remember).

General consensus is GM is not taking responsibility for these situations. …”
