I drive a 2004 Saturn Vue. started with a sound like I hit loose asphalt on the street but there was no road repairs going on. Then the battery light came on about 4 miles later. Then the seat belt light a few minutes later followed by the repair engine light. I went to turn right and it made a horrible noise and was hard to turn (like something was blocking the wheel). I tried to turn it to the left and the same thing. I pulled into a parking spot. But the ebrake on (it is a manual transmission). The car died. I have battery power but it wont turn over.

SOURCE: 2005 Saturn Vue AWD 6 cylinder whistle

There is a bearing that supports the dive shaft to the rear wheels. This bearing dries out with road grime and under car washes. Greasing the bearing eliminated the whistling

SOURCE: Saturn vue 2007, rear folding seat will not return

They have a problem with the seatbelt retractor getting jammed up causing the belt to jam & not let the rear seat fold back up.The easiest way to get the seat back up is to cut the seatbelt & fold up the seat.Then the rear seat needs to be disassembled to gain access to the seatbelt retractor assy which has the seat belt made on.Hopefully it's still under warranty or Ext. warranty.hope this helps

My 2004 Vue makes a very consistent winding type sound while driving. It starts out low and increases to a point and never veries until I slow down. What could that be? No front end deviation, no...

Try swerving back and forth when you hear this. If the pitch changes while swerving one way or the other, it is probably the wheel bearing and it needs a new hub. Not too hard to change.

Saturn vue 2006 honda v6 only runs for 2 seconds starts right up and runs 2 seconds still wont run in street for 2 days now padlock shows when motor shuts off

It sounds like the GM Passlock system is activating and shutting the fuel pump off. Are you using the original key or a copy? A copy will likely not start this car, because it lacks the GM Passlock chip.
If you're using an original, try another key if you have one. Otherwise you'll need a tow to the dealership as the Passlock module probably has a fault.

I have a 2004 saturn vue when i apply the brakes my abs comes on

It sounds like one of your wheel sensors isn't working, and the ABS is thinking that one wheel is locked up, so it's activating ABS.
