Vehicle Background:

I am the second owner of this 2005 Saturn Vue.  It was purchased in 2006 @9000 miles and has been used as a family vehicle and commuter vehicle.  I have some maintenance records available.  In the last couple years I've had he A/C system repaired and all four wheel bearings replaced.  The manual transmission was serviced to repair a pad on gear 3.  The clutch has not been replaced, but the transmission shifts easily.  

Current Condition:

Recently a bad oil leak developed and the vehicle ran low on oil.  The leak has since been repaired, but the engine now has a knock of some kind.  Engine function and performance does not seem to be affected, however if left unserviced, I suspect engine failure is eminent.  Aside from this, all systems function in the vehicle except the one-touch operation driver window has recently stopped functioning, but all four power windows still roll up and down.

Can be driven, however I suggest it be towed any significant distance.

The radio was recently replaced with a Sony CDX-GT57UPW In-Dash Digital Media CD/USB Receiver.  The USB port will charge, provide audio passthrough, and control Pandora on an iPhone.  Front 3.5mm audio in allows connection to other personal audio devices.

Auction Close and Vehicle Pick-up:

Vehicle should be picked up with balance paid in full within 10 days of auction close.  If buyer would like vehicle towed, I can arrange towing up to 50 miles from vehicle location in Sykesville, MD.  I have Maryland Title available.

Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production

Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
