Got gas went to leave and car had no power. Why?

Asked by Saleena98 Feb 26, 2020 at 01:37 PM about the 2005 Saturn VUE Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We pulled into the gas station turned our 05
saturn vue 5 speed off and got gas went to turn it
back on and leave and there was no power at all he
got out and shook the battery a little bit and it
started working again. We havent had any
problems until that happened a few minutes ago.
Do you think the battery is going bad or that there
was a bad connection? Maybe something else? It
was odd for sure esp since it was running we
turned it off and nothing happened or moved
between then and turning it back on.

Most likely a bad connection. Clean and tighten the connections well as soon as you get a chance.

Please call GMC. Theyr are several open recalls. One being the ignition switch. Another is the transmission. Another is cooling system. The models affected are 2004 to 2008

I have a Saturn Manual 2007 Vue. In the AM clutch pedal flops to floor and cant shift until I turn car off ...put it into gear and pump clutch alot to get air going through. Then I can drive but stick feels stiff. I was told transmission had to be removed to get to the slave cylinder to fix. Over 1000.00 Can I try bleeding the system to see if there is a way I can avoid this cost?? Car has 170, 000 miles and I bought it 6 months ago. 14 Answers

Can it be something other than the Slave Cylinder? No visible leaking or drop in brake/clutch fluid. But a swollen cap on clutch resevoir and fluid is dark.
