An update for anyone still interested:

-Took the Vue to the dealership again this week. They replaced something in the suspension....they said it would fix the squeeking in the steering wheel. When I picked the car up, it seemed fixed. Now just two days later, it is STARTING to come back. This morning it made the rubbing noise again when turning out of the driveway..then it stopped..then it did again when leaving work.

-Air conditioning 'crackling' noise is still there. Dealership isn't trying to do anything anymore with it. I was told one of the 'senior techs' looked at it..and said it is somethign that is common on some Vues. He said they looked at 2 new ones in the lot and they were doing the same thing. I don't know..not happy about this but it looks like nothing I can do about it. All I know is that I have NEVER had another car that had a cracking/clicking sound coming from behind the vents whenever the AC is on.

-Wiper motor need to be replaced. Every so often, the rear wiper blade would stop NOT in it's off position, but it would kick back up an inch or so. They said the ordered a new wiper blade motor, BUT I'm going to have to make another appointment with them to get it installed.

Overall, the problems are getting fixed slowly, but I can't tell you how many times I have had to negotiate a ride or leave early or come in late to work to make it to the dealership...or how much money I have spent in gas getting back there every 2 weeks it seems. It's getting better, but I'm still just as frustrated becasue the trips to the dealership don't show signs of ending.
