I talked to a Saturn divisional rep about the problems today, here is where we stand:

-She asked me what problems with the vehicle still needed to be addressed. I told her I am waiting for some kind of suspension parts that are on order at the dealership. The service dept told me they think they need to be replaced to fix the squeeking in the steering wheel (last time they said they just put some oil in it..but it didn't work, so now on to the second fix.)

-She then said that once the problems with the vehicle are fixed, they MIGHT be able to do something to 'help out' with all the problems/time that I have had with the Vue. (I'm hoping if they do anything, it isn't to simply extend my warranty. The last thing I want is a reason to hold onto it for longer than I originally planned, only to have additional repairs 'under warranty', but requiring more lengthy trips to the dealership involving more time off from work.) But we aren't at that point, so we'll see what happens.

-Once again, 2 thumbs up so far for Saturn's response to the 10+ problems so far with the vehicle..and 2 thumbs up to the dealership for being courteous and not giving me any problems. All that remains is a big 'thumbs down' for the actual vehicle and how it was put together. At the moment, I'm hoping everything gets fixed, but I can't escape the feeling that maybe we should have waited and gotten a Malibu..or even gone for a Aura rather than bought the Vue.
