2008 Saturn VUE - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My 2008 Saturn Vue XE is stuck in park
Are any check engine lights on?Try this first: Disconnect your battery and wait about 2-3 minutes. Then reconnect it and see if you can shift out of park.If that doesn't work, you'll need to check the transmission fluid. It could be too low to provide enough pressure to switch gears. It'll need to be checked with the engine warm, idling.If the transmission fluid checks out fine (it's not low or burned/dark colored), chances are there's a mechanical problem with the transmission or shift linkage. Keep in mind the fluid could also have metal and friction particles blocking the flow of oil through the channels, even if it looks ok. Here are a few possibilities of what else could be wrong (not an all-inclusive list):Manual Valve to Detent Lever Link (802)*Broken or missing*Disconnected from the manual valveManual Valve to Link Clip (801)*DisconnectedManual Valve (800)*StuckShift Linkage*DisconnectedValve Body, Channel Plate and Case*Blocked fluid channels

2008 Vue. Where is the fuel filter?
It's just inside the chassis under the vehicle on the driver side just in front of the rear wheel. Its silver and about the size of a small can of beans. It's an in line filter, takes about 1/2 to 1 hour to change with fuel line tools. You dint have to have special tools. A pair of needle nose pliers and a small standard screw driver will do. Park it where you don't mind dumping about a half pint of fuel. have a rag and oil pan to catch the fuel and it be under pressure so be careful taking lose. use the rag to keep the spray from getting on you. then pull the hose towards the pan and if you use a clean pan you can pour the fuel into your mower or back in the tank just not the dirt and rust

How do I check transmission fluid level on 2008
1. Switch off the car
2. Pop up the hood and raise it
3. Locate the transmission fluid cap
4. Remove the cap to add fluid
5. Check the owner's manual on what type of fluid your car requires and in what quantity. It is essential to use the right fluid and not anything off the shelf.
6. Remove the dipstick and start filling up the fluid slowly - you don't want to add too little or overfill.
7. Now put back the dipstick, switch on the vehicle and start shifting gears. Remove the dipstick and see the marking to know if you your car has the right amount of fluid
8. Put back the cap by turning it clockwise.

Looking to replace all season tires, what are my
If you have too much money, I will take some off your hands. All season tires are all season tires. If you want snow tires get a new set of rims then keep snow tires in your garage for the winter and all season tires for the rest of the year. If you cant drive in the snow cant help you with that.

Why do the brakes keep locking up?
That's usually caused by a misadjusted push rod going into the master cylinder OR a misadjusted brake pedal switch. When either are out of whack it won't let the master cylinder piston return all the way to home, so it covers up the relief port in the M/C. As the brake fluid heats up and expands it can flow back through the relief port, so the pressure continues to build and it actually applies the brakes.

2008 Saturn Vue - lots of hazard lights, key turns, NOTHING.
Lot's of warning lights , check engine and all the others , You should have the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . Lost power codes probably ! Could be a number of thing's ,ignition switch , BCM - body control module just to name a couple . DTC'S will point in the right diagnostic direction . The electronic's on your vehicle Are complex to say the least .
The body control system consists of the body control module (BCM), communications, and various input and outputs. Some inputs, outputs and messages require other modules to interact with the BCM. The BCM also has discrete input and output terminals to control the vehicle body functions. The BCM is wired to the GMLAN High speed serial data buss and the GMLAN Low speed serial data buss and acts as a gateway between them. If the BCM does not communicate the vehicle will not start due to the inability of the engine/powertrain control module (ECM/PCM) and vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) control module to communicate without the BCM providing the gateway function.
Power Mode Master
This vehicles BCM functions as the power mode master (PMM). The ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determination the power mode that will be sent over the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this information, and so the PMM will activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed. Refer to Power Mode Description and Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.
This is something you should have checked out by a qualified repair shop .
