The usual issue with a 2005 Saturn Vue engine light is a problem with the EGR valve. It is best to have a mechanic check out the problem.

tirerack.com has very good ratings on Kumho solus kh16 or kr21 tires. Both are rated at 85,000 miles, but would normally get 45-65,000 miles with average use. They are very quiet especially when new, and are good in snow and ice if you are in a cold climate. Others are happy with any Michelin brand tires that fit the vue. The Duelers, aren't rated nearly as well--which is why they may have worn out so quickly.

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!!

The most common cause of steering vibration at that speed would be either an out of balance tire, bent wheel or a defective tire. It is also possible that there could be a bent or worn front axle (half-shaft) or worn CV joint, but although those things also happen quite frequently, that's not quite as common as a cause of front end vibrations.

you can't do it yourself you need a spaecial comp program- go to craigs, look for auto lockmith (mobile) under services. Anyone that does newer chipped keys can do a reset for you in about 5 mins for under 100.00 at your location. DO NOT go to dealer

the dealership told me that it is due to the steering column needing to be lubricated

I also had this problem... It means the cable stretched. What I had to do was pull the lever like you would opent the hood and then reach up behind the lever and grab the cable with a finger and pull on that. This will then pop the hood open. Once you have the hood open put a zip-tie or two on the end of the cable knub so that you can open the hood up like normal.

The fuse box is located under the hood on the drivers side just behind the battery

It's on the engine side firewall, about centerline between driver and passenger. May have to remove all the black plastic air ducting for the engine to see the drain. Trace the heater and air conditioning lines to where they go through the firewall. Look below the cluster of these four lines and you'll see something that looks like the spout of a water pitcher made of black plastic - this is the evaporator drain "line" exit point. It's about 3/8" diameter with a flapper type check valve behind it.

Here is how I did it. they can be hard. make sure emergency brake is off. I used a small bubble jack and just went around it slowly until it popped off.

On a 2008 Saturn Vue, the transmission dipstick is located near the back of the engine compartment, typically on the passenger side. It is often positioned near the firewall and may be labeled for easy identification. To access it, you may need to move or remove any components obstructing your view. Always consult your owner’s manual for specific details and to ensure proper maintenance.

On a 2008 Saturn Vue, the shift solenoid is typically located inside the transmission. It can be accessed by removing the transmission oil pan and filter. Depending on the specific transmission type, it may be positioned on the valve body or within the transmission assembly itself. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement procedures.
