This happened to our 2003 Vue. I had just had the brakes replaced and they had not done this properly, something to do with the 'calipers', so the car sounded like a bucket of bolts everytime I put on the brakes. Have them look at the rear brakes especially if you've just had them replaced.

Why does your car make clunking noises when you step on the gas and the brake?
A car that is in good running condition should not make a clunking noise. If a person pushes the gas and brake pedal at the same time causing a car to make a clunking noise, that is an indication of stain on the motor.
What causes Saturn Vue brake noises?
The brake pads are probably worn. If not repaired, then the metal backer of the brake pads can cut into and damage the brake rotors. Noise is a sign to check the brakes as soon as possible.
What causes grinding noises when accelerator is pushed?
It may me that your brake is on.
Would a blown brake light fuse on 03 Saturn L200 cause gear shift to malfunction. How do you change fuse for brake lights on 03 Saturn?
Yes, a blown brake light fuse causes the shift interlock to malfunction. If the interlock can't tell if the brake is depressed or not, it won't shift out of park. The brake light fuse is a 15A in the engine bay fuse box.
How do you know when your brake pads are shot?
They might be making squealing or scratchy noises when you brake
What causes a Saturn SL1 to continue to make clicking and clunking noises when you turn and when you brake after the CV axles have been replaced?
Check the strut assembly on the side that is making the noise. It is possible that the strut is starting to go and that's what is making the noise. This may especially be true if you can make the clunking sound happen by pulsing the brakes as the car is moving forward. I just went through a similar problem with a 1997 SL2. The car had only 78,000 original miles when I had new brake calipers and brake lines installed (by a friend) and shortly afterward the car developed a "clunking" noise during hard right turns. We, the friend and I, checked damn near everything and though I felt it had to be related to the brake work the friend, who is a much more experienced mechenic felt otherwise. We installed new axle assemblies on both sides to no avail and I decided to allow the problem to get worse to mak locating it simpler. Finally, after about six months of use the problem got severe enough that I was becoming concerned. The noise started appearing even while braking with the wheels straight. I finally took the car to a Saturn dealer and they located a brake line that had been installed incorrectly and was rubbing on the rotating wheel assembly during certain manuvers, including turning and sometimes when braking. The brake line was worn almost completely through and was on the verge of breaking and replacing the line eliminated the problem. So much for my friends expertise!!
What causes a 98 Malibu to make a clunking noise that can be felt in the brake when shifting from reverse to drive and upon acceleration from a dead or slow stop?
This could be the breaks needing replaced, could be a wheel bearing that needs replaced.

What could be a clunking noise when coming to a complete stop in the front of the car?
it could be that your brake discs are completely warped. so you might just need brake repairs made on your vehicle.
Would new transmission fluid keep your 1990 300zx non turbo from clunking when letting off the gas The clunking happens when you step on the gas and when you take your foot off the gas.?
Check your U joints, clunking is always a good sign that they are going bad. try this, hold the brake and cycle the transmission into reverse and listen for the clunk, still holding the brake cycle it into drive. If the u joints are bad you will hear it each time the transmission engages.
Why does a car make a clunking sound after releasing the brake but before accelerating?
