I WAS DRIVING THIS EVENING ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY PASSENGER AMD DRIVER AIRBAGS HOWEVER DID NOT. WHEN MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IT STARTLED ME AND I HIT A CURB MESSING UP MY ALIGNMENT. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY UNEXPECTED AND COULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE.

KEY EVERY NOW AND WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER. FINALLY IT JUST DIDNT COME OUT. NO MONEY TO BUY NEW KEY...HAD TO RECOVER KEY AND IN ATTEMPTING TO DO SO THE IGNTION CYLINDER WAS GREATLY DAMAGED. NOW CAR STARTS BUT IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF WHILE SECURITY LIGHT STEADY FLASHES. ITS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION...IT WAS CAUSE NOW ITS JUST SITTING THERE NEEDING A WHOLE IGNITION CYLINDER AND SWITCH MAYBE .

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING,BRAKES. GOT REALLY TIGHT CAR BARELY WANTED TO,STOP TRANSMISSIKN WAS OVERHEATING AT THE SAME TIME CAR WASNT PASSING SECOND GEAR EVERYTHING HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE.

I WAS DRIVING TAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN FURTHER, I DRIVE INTO THE OTHER LANE. I THEN DECIDED TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT, SECONDS LATER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AGAIN AND I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. *TR

MAY HAVE A TORQUE CONVERTER CONDITION THAT COULD RESULT IN A TRANSMISSIONS VIBRATIONS OR SHAKING MOTION (JUDDER) WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 TO 45 MPH.

DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREEWAY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO GO OUT AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING, THIS IS AN ONGOING AND SPORADIC PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BOTH BATTERY CABLES, I REPLACE THEM BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC. MY STEERING WONT LET ME TURN. KEEPS PULLING ME. I CANT RIDE IT.

WHEN THE CAR STARTS THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE BRAKES ALSO GRIND AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISES. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MALFUNCTION AND LIGHTS AND SOUNDS FLICKER ON AND OFF. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO BY A MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION AS TO WHY THE ELECTRIC MALFUNCTIONING AND STEERING IS LOCKING UP.

CRUISE CONTROL EXCELLENT ON IT'S OWN AND IF ON GOES OFF BY IT'S SELF

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON;, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER,THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOW MILEAGE FLICKER, POWER STEERING IS OFF, WINDOWS DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK. TAKES 10-15 MINS FOR CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND POWER TO BE RESTORED TO CAR, BEFORE THEN YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT. ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY . CAR BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS, LATE FOR PICKING MY CHILDREN UP AND GETTING THEM FROM SCHOOL, DUE TO WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING DAILY, AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED YET.I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE, BUT I WILL TAKE PIC/VIDEO IF YOU NEED ONE

TAKATA RECALL FIRST MY IGNITION STARTED STICKING AND THEN MY BATTERY WOULD NOT START MY CAR NOW MY CAR WONT EVEN TURN ON BECAUSE THE IGNITION IS STUCK ON OFF THE KEY GOES IN BUT WONT MOVE..AND ON MY REMOTE WHEN I UNLOCK MY DOORS MY HOT SEAT BUTTONS FLICKER AND SOMETIMERS MY AIR BAGS SAY THERE NOT ON

IGNITION LOCK IS HARD TO TURN CAR HAVE TO JIGGLE THE KEY AND I WAS DRIVING AND BY ACCIDENT I PULLED THE KEY CHAIN WERE THE KEYS AND IT CAME OFF WILL DRIVING.

STEERING MAKING NOISES . HAD APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TODAY AND THEY (DEALER) REPORTED IT IS INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE SATURN VUE...

LOWER CONTOL ARM LEFT REAR SUSPENTION,PULLED OUT OF MOUNT. BODY RUSTED AND MAIN COMPONENT PULLED OUT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL .

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON, OR FLASH PERIODICALLY WHEN ALREADY FASTENED. HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE LEFT SIDE OF STEERING COLUMN 7/27/18. CRUISE GOES IN AND OUT. DIM/BRIGHT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE KEY CAN'T BE REMOVED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP OR YOU CAN REMOVE KEY BUT SWITCH IS STILL ENGAGED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION WHEN MOST INCIDENTS OCCURRED AND LOCKUPS OCCUR DEPENDING ON WHAT POSITION THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN (ADJUSTABLE). THE ELECTRICAL FIRE HAPPENED JUST AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY FROM A 30 MINUTE TRIP AFTER RELEASING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 4 BLOCKS FROM HOME. CFD WAS CALLED AND THEY DISMANTLED THE COLUMN, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. I WAS BLESSED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!

DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT SOMETIMES ON, SOMTIMES OFF.

(MOTION) (HIGHWAY AT 70MPH) CARS KEY SLIDES OUT OF IGNITION WHEN IN THE ON POSITION. (STATIONARY) (DRIVEWAY) HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE, IE. COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER AS WELL AS KEY STICKING AND BEING DIFFICULT TO MOVE - THIS MADE ME THINK INITIALLY THAT IT WAS ALTENATOR OR BATTERY. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT A BIT, AND A LOT OF WIGGLING OF THE KEY, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START VEHICLE. THESE ARE THE SAME PROBLEM GM HAD WITH EARLIER MODELS AND HAD TO MAKE A RECALL ON. YET THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THE 2007? WHAT HAPPENED TO SAFETY STANDARDS. I HAVE NOT HAD IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE IN MOTION YET. BUT I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED.

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH CONSISTANTLY WHEN CLOSING FROM OUTSIDE.

I OWN A 07 SATURN VUE. I PURCHASED IT AFTER SEEING A FRIEND WITH ONE AND I LOVED IT. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND IN KANSAS WITH ONE. AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, NEXT DAY I WILL STILL NEED A JUMP. IF I GO INTO THE STORE, I WILL NEED A JUMP. MY FRIEND HERE, HERS DOES IT AS WELL, AND SO DID MY FRIEND IN KANSAS. TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER, THEY GUARANTEED ALL PARTS,,, AFTER SPENDING COUNTLESS FUNDS AND TIMES, I AM STILL HAVING THE ISSUE,,, A DAY AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING BRAND NEW AGAIN. I'VE BEEN STAR FED IN THE RAIN, SNOW, AND ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT WITH MY KIDS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY FRIEND IN KANSAS HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY ALTERNATOR REBUILT,,, AND HASN'T HAD A ISSUE SINCE(2YRS), AFTER DEALING WITH IT FOR 4 MONTHS. I'M OUT OF FUNDS AND PATIENCE SO NOW THE CAR IS JUST SITTING. MY FRIEND HERE,,, AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, FINALLY SOLD HERS TO A SCRAP YARD. I SEARCHED ONLINE(MYSTERY BEHIND DYING BATTERY IN A 07 SATURN VUE) AND TO MY AMAZEMENT,,, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE BATTERY DIES, IT AFFECTS SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL. MY RADIO HAS NOT COME BACK ON SINCE, I REPLACED THE RADIO,,, WITHIN A WEEK THAT RADIO WOULD NOT POWER ON AS WELL. THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL CAR IS ACTUALLY ON BECAUSE NOTHING IN THE CAR WILL POWER ON,,, SEEMS TO MOSTLY DO IT IN COOL WEATHER. NO MATTER WHERE I WENT OR HOW SOON AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING,,, THE BATTERY WOULD DIE,,, I'M ASSUMING IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE ALTERNATOR AT THIS POINT. MY FRIEND REBUILT HIS AND HASN'T HAD ISSUES IN 2YRS, I'VE REPLACED MINE 3 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND I'M STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES. PLEASE SEARCH IT,,, I AM NOT ALONE,,, THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS AND ARE BLOGGING ONLINE ABOUT IT.

THE KEY CAN COME OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAVE A RECALL ON FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VEUS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST THAT THE IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN BE FATAL IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH HARD WIRED TO A SWITCH ON THE DASH.

EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY/BEING PARKED, ON 6-10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE KEY HAS GOTTEN LOCKED TIGHT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN AND DIE ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS. ONCE THE KEY WAS FROZEN IN PLACE, AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF, THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION AND THE STEERING WAS LOCKED TIGHT UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL, THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK. OTHER TIMES THE KEY WOULD JUST BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED, REGARDLESS OF EFFORT TO REMOVE IT, ALSO NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE PLACE INTO THE GEAR OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSE US TO ABANDON THE VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE, THIS IS DANGEROUS & SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I SEE OTHER RECALLS ON OTHER SATURN MODELS BUT NOT THE VUE 2007, WHICH DOES HAVE A DEFECT IN THIS AREA AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. FOR THE RECORD THE CAR KEY AND THE REMOTE ARE THE ONLY THINGS ON MY KEY CHAIN, SO THE WEIGHT OF THE KEY CHAIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS.

LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO MANUFACTURING DESIGN FLAW. PIN RETAINING SHAFT BELOW STEERING MOTOR FELL OUT LEAVING DRIVER WITH NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE VEERED OFF ROADWAY MISSING LIGHT POLE AND FIRE HYDRANT!

BATTERY ERODED AND HYBRID STOPPED WORKING. BRAKES SQUEAK. CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES

CARS SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50

MY CAR IS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WE ONLY HAD IT FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT ONLY HAD 80000 MILES ON IT ITS NOW AT 105000 AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON IT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVENT HAD THE CAR THAT LONG. IT WAS PRACTICALLY STILL NEW. IF THESE CARS EASILY BREAK DOWN CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION THEN THEY SHOULD BE UP FOR RECALL .THE CAR WAS MOVING WE WERE GOING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN THERE WAS A CLUCKING SOUND.

DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ONE AND OFF. SOMETIMES STAYS ON. WORRIED THAT IT WILL INFLATE WHILE DRIVING OR NOT AT ALL IN AN ACCIDENT. THE LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN NOT MOVING.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME SOMETIMES IT BLINKS ON AND OFF AND IS THIS GOING TO GO OFF ON ME IS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I'M VERY CONCERNED THE AIRBAG WILL POP OUT

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO TURN ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES FOR WEEKS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE AND AM WORRIED THE AIR BAG COULD INFLATE OR FAIL TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL, SAME AS OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CAN BE DEACTIVATED WHEN SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE PANEL INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS ALL WHILE DRIVING, I CAN BE DRIVING FOR AN HOUR AND THEN THE LIGHT COMES ON, OR BE DRIVING FOR AN HOUR WITH THE LIGHT ON AND THEN THE LIGHT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON THEN GOES RIGHT BACK OFF. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY CONSISTENCY. SOMETIME SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN IT DOES THIS AND SOMETIME THE SEAT IS EMPTY.

WHEN VEHICLE STARTS PASSAGER DASH BOARD MAKES TICKONG SOUND FOR ABOUT 2 MIN AND STOPS. PASSAGER SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK LATCH DOES NOT WORK.

TAKATA RECALL MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF. IT WON'T COME FOR DAYS AND THEN IT WILL POP ON. THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL COME ON AND GO RIGHT BACK OFF.

AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY ON AND OFF. REPAIR AT GM DEALER AND CONTINUED WITH SAME ISSUE

MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, HAD TO DRILL OUT IGNITION CYLINDER AND REPLACE HOUSING ALSO. HAD TO GET A MECHANIC TO KEY THE CYLINDER AND NOW THE LIGHTS, A/C, AND RADIO DO NOT WORK AFTER ENGINE STARTS UNTIL IT RUNS FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES. THEN EVERYTHING WORKS, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD, UNTIL IT SITS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. STILL DOING THE SAME. HAD IT PARKED FOR ABOT TWO MONTHS AND JUST START IT AND RUN THE ENGINE TO PRESEVE THE BATTERY. USE OTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT A TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING IT

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER IS ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVER IS IN THE SEAT, THE CAR IS ON, AND OPERATING. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO.

WHILE PASSING ANOTHER CAR ON US 17A WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DECREASE THE SPEED CONTROL AND WHEN I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF...DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWED THE CAR AT THE EXPENSE OF THE BRAKE PADS...I TURNED THE KEY SWITCH OFF.. PULLED OFF THE ROAD RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE OVER REVVED AND I TURNED THE KEY OFF AGAIN, ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. STOMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS TIME THE RESULTS WERE NORMAL. EITHER THE CRUISE CONTROL OR ACCELERATOR PETAL OR CONTROL MODULE I SUSPECT WERE AT FAULT.....THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD IF WE HAD BEEN IN A HIGH TRAFFIC CONDITION...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO ELECTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING AT THAT POINT. IN ADDITION, THE DIGITAL COMPONENTS ON THE DASHBOARD (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, ETC.) LOST POWER. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. *TR

TAMARA ( UNKNOWN TO CONSUMER ), I WROTE MANY TIMES ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM ANYONE. PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEATBELT ALERT LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE VERY EARLY IN DISTRIBUTION OF THIS VEHICLE AS IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF LEAVING SATURN DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2006. I CAN ONLY SAY GOD HELP GM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO A PASSENGER OF MINE DUE TO THIS ISSUE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS MADE BY MYSELF AND OTHERS AND IT KEEPS ON GOING IGNORED.

MY STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN I START MY CAR, THEN AFTER MESSING WITH THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON THE STEERING WHEEL RELEASES. THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH START FLASHING IT GOES ON AND OFF. THE FUSES ARE FINE IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. THERE'S NO PLACE TO PUT POWER STEERING FLUID? HELP.

BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS COMES OFF AND GOES CONTINUOUSLY. I WONDER WHY THERE WAS A NO RECALL AS SO MANY COMPLAINTS WERE PLACED ALREADY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, WHEEL HUB, AND BEARING TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING.

WE WERE PASSING A TRUCK, THEN THE THROTTLE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN , WE FINALLY GOT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. AND NOW MY ELECTRICAL IS ALL MESSED UP. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I DON"T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE THE BUS OR BUM A RIDE. I PAID $6500 FOR THIS CAR.. ANY CHANCE I CAN GET HELP FROM GM. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR. BUT FEEL IT IS TO DANGER OUS TO DRIVE. I AM A 24 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM. HELP! THANKS. HANNAH GRISEDALE.

ENGINE MAKES A LOT OF NOISE WHEN STARTING UP AND WHILE DRIVING,ALSO THE GAS GAGE DON'T REGISTER

IGNITION SWITCH ONGOING SAGA. HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED 3 TIMES - ALL AT MY COST ALL WITHIN ONE YEAR. HAD THE KEY HOUSING REPLACED A YEAR 1/2 AGO - KEY NOW HANGING UP AGAIN IN THE IGNITION. LAST NIGHT COULDN'T REMOVE THE KEY AT ALL AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR. FORTUNATELY HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE AND NOT A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT WHERE I WOULDN'T BE SAFE. IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER ALL OF THE OTHER KNOWN IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING & IT CAME OUT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. I CAN STILL REMOVE THE KEY IN MODES OTHER THAN DRIVE. MY KEY HAS ALSO GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH & I HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, ETC TO FREE IT AND/OR TUG ON THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY INTO THE PROPER POSITION TO REMOVE IT. ONE TIME I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET IT FREE. WELL, REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEING RECALLED, ETC, AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, BUT FEEL THIS COULD BE SERIOUS AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT DO I DO NEXT, TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS?

MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT COMPLETELY TOTALED OUR 2007 SATURN VUE. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE ENDED UP UPSIDE DOWN IN A RAVINE AFTER HITTING A SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT NEITHER OF THEM WAS OPERATIONAL. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT WHAT A HORRIBLE TURN OUT THIS COULD HAVE HAD. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD!

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF FOR YEARS... I BELIEVE IT STARTED IN 2010 I CALLED THE DEALER AND ALSO CONTRACTED GM AND NO RECALLS WERE REPORTED. I THEN CHECK ON IT WITH NHTSA NO RECALLS. IT 1ST. STARTED ON RIGHT PASSENGERS SIDE IT WOULD WARN IT WAS NOT ON EVER WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF. NOW THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE REPORTING ON IT. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE AIR BAG OR AIR BAGS WILL NOT COME ON IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NOT A SAFE FEELING FOR MY WIFE AND I IF WE WOULD BE IN A BAD ACCIDENT. HAS ANYONE REALLY LOOKED INTO THE MANY COMPLAINTS? ON

WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY I LOST ALL POWER. NO ENGINE, LIGHTS, ETC. ALMOST GOT RUN OVER. OPENED HOOD AND REPLACED THE 30 AMP IGNITION FUSE AND CAR STARTED. TOOK TO GM DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND ORIGINAL FUSE WAS NOT BLOWN EITHER. ALSO HARD TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY AT TIMES. IS THIS A RECALL? IF NOT IT SHOULD BE AS THIS WAS A SERIOUS MISHAP WHERE WE COULD HAVEBEEN KILLED! THE CAR HAS 54K MILES AND THIS WAS ON 12-21-2015 AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 12-22-2015.

MORE THEN 5 TIMES THE SUV HAS NOT STARTED, AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THE KEY WOULD NOT EVEN TURN IN IT. I BELIEVE WE HAVE TANAKA AIRBAGS.

I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN FEB OF 2015. IT HAD 92.000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I PAID $8K. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. FIRST, THE STEERING WAS BAD. APPARENTLY IT'S A COMMON ISSUE FOR GM VEHICLES TO HAVE A RACK AND PINION ISSUE. IT NEEDED TO BE REGREASED, WHICH WAS AN EASY FIX, AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME. THE NEXT MONTH I MOVED FROM MN TO GA AND WHEN I GOT DOWN HERE (IT'S HOT) REALIZED THE AC DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I DECIDED TO BE SWEATY ALL SUMMER. BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SEIZED UP AC COMPRESSOR WAS THREATENING MY ENTIRE SERPENTINE BELT. SO I GOT THAT FIXED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER. JUST A WEEK AFTER THAT FIX, MY BRAKES WENT OUT. THE CAR JERKED AND SQUEAKED AND IT WAS GENERALLY SO BAD THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS SO LOUD IT WAS EMBARRASSING. I TOOK IT IN AND THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND ONE BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $850. THE REMAINING PROBLEMS ARE: AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS, BUT RECENTLY IT DOESN'T EVER TURN OFF. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, BUT I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM HAVING THE BREAKS FIXED. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR WAS A TOTAL LEMON.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LITE COMES ON STAYS ONE FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE.

I CAN NOT START VEHICLE. I CAN'T PUT IN THE SWITCH TO START VEHICLE EVEN WHEN I TURN WHEEL.

THERE IS A RECALL ON SIMILAR MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT MINE. MY KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES TO RUN. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHILE IN PARK. THIS COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS IT HAS DRAINED MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT FULLY DISENGAGED I CAN STILL REMOVE THE KEY IN ACC MODE AND DRIVE MODE. ALSO, I HAVE TO TUG ON THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY INTO THE PROPER POSITION TO REMOVE IT PROPERLY. NOW'I CANNOT EVEN TURN MY KEY, AS THE IGNITION IS SEIZING. IT TAKES ME NO LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO GET IT TO CLICK AND TURN ON. I WAS ADVISED MY MODEL IS NOT IN THE RECALL THOUGH THE SAME AND SAME MAKES ARE. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE! THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL, BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY APPOINTMENT, THEY ADVISED IT IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.

IT THE IGNITION SWITCH. I JUST RECENTLY STARTED PURCHASING A 2007 SATURN VUE. FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, I HAD TROUBLE TURNING THE IGNITION, THEN ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO, IT WOULDN'T TURN AT ALL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER I AM PURCHASING THROUGH AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE IGNITION SWITCH...BRAND NEW. BUT NOW, THE SAME PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING. THIS PARTICULAR YEAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE. I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER SAUTUN VUE'S FOR 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 & 2009 ARE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION SWITCH. WISH I HAD DONE MY HOMEWORK BEFORE I STARTED MAKING PAYMENTS.

UPON A COLD START, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED ABOUT TEN FEET, FORWARD OR REVERSE, WITH NO INPUT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE IS A WHIR FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AKIN TO A STEPPER MOTOR NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. IN REVERSE, APPLYING THE BRAKES STOPS THE CAR, AND THEN SELECTING DRIVE, THE VEHICLE RESPONDS TO THE ACCELERATOR CORRECTLY. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN FORWARD, BUT IN MOST CASES THE ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL USE. IN REVIEWING THE SHOP MANUALS, THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR, WHICH I ASSUME IS A STEPPER TYPE MOTOR, IN THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THIS IS CONTROLLED BY THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL(TAC) AND THE POWER CONTROL MODULE(PCM). I ASSUME THAT THE MOTOR IS FAILING, BUT HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE OR ENGINE SHUTDOWN MODE EVENT. IF THIS PART IS FAILING IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE EMISSION WARRANTY OF 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS 9 YEARS OLD. I WILL APPROACH MY DEALER AND SATURN ABOUT POSSIBLE COVERAGE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THEM IN THE PAST. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT CAN CATCH A DRIVER UNAWARE AND CREATE A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT SCENARIO.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD AT ANY TIME WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE (INCREASE IN ACCELERATE, FAST BREAKING, ETC.) AND WILL STAY ON FOR HOURS/DAYS, THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THE LIGHT IS ON VARIES WITH EACH TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES. IT LIGHT TURNS ON ANYWHERE FROM 4-10 TIMES PER WEEK. SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE KEY COULD BE PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION AT ANYTIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THE IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHEN THE IGNITION IS NOT IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AND STARTED TO ROLL AWAY. THIS CAR 2007 SATURN VUE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS FOUND IN GM RECALL 14506 WHICH IS STATED AS ONLY FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VUE CARS. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14V490. THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT BUT IT IS CLEARLY A MFG DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED AT NO CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO TURN OVER PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE PANEL DISPLAYED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A GRINDING TYPE NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AND THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS FAULTY. THE BEARING WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF ALTHOUGH A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON- TOOK TO SHOP- THEY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG AND SEAT WARMER CONNECTIONS- AIRBAG LIGHT SOMETIMES GOES OFF WHEN SEAT WARMER IS ON... BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 900-1200 TO FIX THIS- THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE "AIR BAG READINESS" LIGHT COME ON. IT STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE LIGHT ONLY STAYED ON FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN WENT OFF. LATER THAT DAY WHEN DRIVING THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON AGAIN UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. IT DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT SAID TO TAKE IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO BE RUN. IT ALSO SAID THAT THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY, OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I MADE AND APPOINTMENT ON 07/24/2015 AND TOOK IT TO A DEALER. AFTER RUNNING THE COMPUTER CHECK ON IT, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO INSTALL. THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,200 OR MORE FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I HAD TO TAKE OFF WORK TWICE TO TAKE IN FOR SERVICE, AND LOST ABOUT 8 HOURS OF WORK TIME DUE TO THIS INCIDENT. ALSO, THE TURN SIGNAL HAD TO BE REPLACED; IT FAILED TO TURN OFF AFTER MAKING A TURN, MOSTLY TO THE LEFT, BUT SOMETIMES TURNING TO THE RIGHT ALSO. I WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER OF THESE SHOULD HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY CAR WITH THE MILEAGE IT HAS.

I STARTED MY CAR AND THE DRIVE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON NO BLINKING JUST ON. MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED WHILE I WAS AT WORK. I WENT HOME FOR LUNCH I FIGURED IT WAS JUST A GLITCH WOULD GO OUT WENT BACK TO WORK PARKED IT AGAIN THEN WHEN I LEFT TO GO HOME IT WAS ON AGAIN. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD MY KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HAD TO WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO.GET THEM OUT. MY RADIO SCREEN WILL GO ALL CRAZY FUNNY NUMBERS AND I HAVE HAD WIND NOISE WITH BOTH OF MY FRONT DOORS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WORKED ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. NOW WITH THE AIRBAG I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR I PAID FOR AND TO LET MY CHILD RIDE IN IT AND IT'S MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. IT LOOKS LIKE EVERY OTHER SATURN IS GETTING RECALLED BUT THIS ONE WE NEED HELP BEFORE WE GET HURT. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BUT NOW SADDLED WITH IT HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SAFE LIKE OTHER CAR OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHILE PARKED AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVVED UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED GOING INTO REVERSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON FOUR OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. ...UPDATED 10/01/15*BF

IGNITION KEY CAN BE FULLY REMOVED AS VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND ALSO WHILE SWITCH IS IN ACC. IGNITION SWITCH ALSO STICKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE SPEED INCREASED TO 80 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO LIFT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH HER FOOT, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO DECREASE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

2007 SATURN VUE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTIONING. THEY SAY THAT THE AIR BAG WON'T WORK IF THE SEAT DOESN'T WORK ...... THEY SAY IT WILL COST ABOUT $900 TO FIX....... THIS WEEK, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT REGISTERING THE KEYS, AND IT IS NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE STARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE ENGINE IS "RUNNING LEAN" I FEEL THAT THE AIR BAG PROBLEM AND THE IGNITION PROBLEM SHOULD BE UNDER RECALLS FOR SURE

INTERMITTENT DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. COMES ON FOR A WHILE THEN WILL GO OFF, COULD BE DAYS OR COULD BE HOURS.

THE IGNITION WAS NOT TURNING OVER PROPERLY. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CAME ON. THE (ABS) LIGHT CAME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE MY CAR FROM FRESNO TO YOSEMITE AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PARK GARAGE IT BROKE DOWN AND I MANAGED TO ROLL IT OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A STALL. I REQUESTED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. THE PROFESSIONAL SAID IT APPEARED TO HIM TO BE A FAULTY ALTENATOR, A FAILED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND A BATTERY PROBLEM, AS WELL AS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO EXAMINE THE PRODUCTS, SO INSTRUCTED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER IN THE NEAREST LOCALE. THIS IS A SPECIFIC CAR DEALER IN FRESNO, CA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I REALIZE THERE IS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND WANTED TO REPORT ON MAY 31 MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON DRIVERS SIDE CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF.

AIR BAB LIGHT ALWAYS ON PASSENGER SIDE; DEALER TOLD US IT IS NOT WORKING WHEN LIT; COST TO REPAIR ABOUT 900 DOLLARS TO REPLACE ENTIRE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY AIR BAG; HONDA IS FINALLY OWNING UP TO THEIR AIR BAG ISSUES.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. WENT TO A DEALERSHIP BACK WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING. WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $300.00 TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME IF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD BROUGHT IN SATURNS FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT CORRECTED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHEN WILL IT BE ADDRESSED?

I OWN A 2007 SATURN VUE WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2007. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR WEEKS BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS SO THEY SAY. RIGHT AFTER I BRING THE VEHICLE HOME THE PROBLEM BEGINS AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN READING THE SAME PROBLEM FROM QUITE A FEW OWNERS. WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE FOR THAT MATTER BEFORE THE MANUFACTURE WILL DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY? THE PART PROBABLY DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO FIX BUT THEY WOULD RATHER RISK GETTING SUED FOR MILLIONS THAN FIX A $$ PROBLEM. OH THE SHAME!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO FOR THIS PAST YEAR. NOW THE RECALL IS TELLING US THAT THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM

DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS (IF ON, IT WOULD STAY ON THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRIP BUT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY COME ON THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED). MORE RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND STAYING DURING EVERY TRIP. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THIS IS A GLITCH IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (COMING ON AND OFF WOULD INDICATE THAT IT IS) OR IF THE AIR BAGS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY WHEN TRAVELING DOWN AN INCLINE AT 65 MPH AND GREATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90. ....UPDATED 07/22/15 *BF UPDATED 9/22/2015 *JS

DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD TO AVOID HITTING A VEHICLE AFTER BEING CUT OFF. THIS RESULTED IN USING GREATER THAN USUAL BRAKE FORCEAT THAT MOMENT, HEARD POP NOISE WHICH CAME FROM REAR OF VEHICLE THEN VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT AT THE SAME INSTANT STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MOVE CLOCKWISE AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE RAPIDLY. HAD TO BRING VEHICLE UNDER 35 MPH TO GET STEERING UNDER CONTROL (ALMOST LOST CONTROL INTO CEMENT BARRIER) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BACK TO SPEED LIMIT VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY FOR ALMOST 2 MILES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. WHEN BRAKING ON OFF RAMP VEHICLE VEERED TO RIGHT ! LATER THAT DAY HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AND TECH FOUND REAR SUBFRAME BOLT HAD LOST ITS HEAD (LITERALLY) APPEARED TO BE BADLY RUSTED BELOW DEPTH OF SUBFRAME.. BOLT WAS REPLACED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED,TWO DAYS LATER LEFT FRONT WHEEL LOCKS WHEN COMING TO STOP OR WHEN BRAKES ARE PUMPED 2-3 APPLICATIONS. HAD FRONT PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED BRAKES FLUSHED.,REAR BRAKES CHECKED AND SERVICED. NO INDICATION OF STICKING CALIPERS OR FLEX HOSE ISSUES. . VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED UN EXPLAINED WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT. NEARLY REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN WOT OCCURRED. THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM HAVE DRAINED MY POCKETBOOK. NEVER HAVE I ENCOUNTERED THIS MANY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES WHICH I OWNED. . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY, BATTERY, CABLES, AND BATTERY FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE TECHNICIAN CLEARED THE CODES FROM THE SYSTEM, REPLACED THE HYBRID SYSTEM, AND THE ENERGY CONTROL MODULE. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,402.

MY IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDS REPLACED. MY KEYS ARE COMING OUT OF THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR STILL ON, DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER IN PARK OR NOT, MY KEY WILL SLIDE OUT. SO NOW I HAVE TO GET THIS FIXED BUT WHILE I WAIT TO HAVE IT FIXED, I HAVE TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE MY CAR IS IN PARK OR AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

ROOF RACK COLLECTS WATER RUSTING OUT BOLTS HOLDING CROSS MEMBER TO ROOF RAILS. DOING ROUTINE INSPECTION AND FOUND ONE CROSS MEMBER DETACHED. FORTUNATELY LOCATED BEFORE LOADING SURFBOARD TO RACKS WHICH COULD HAVE FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON ROAD. IT APPEARS THE RAILS WHICH RUN THE LENGTH OF THE ROOF IS WHERE THE RACKS FAIL. THERE ARE HOLES WHICH COLLECT WATER CAUSING THE RUST AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE BOLT(S) THAT THE CROSS MEMBER ATTACHES TOO. *TR

BROUGHT MY 2007 SATURN VUE TO REPAIR A POWERFUL GASOLINE SMELL AROUND THE REAR OF CAR, NEAR GAS CAP. SAID IT WOULD COST $332 TO LIFT OUT FUEL TANK TO SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. 4 HOURS LATER, MECHANIC SAID THE TANK WAS DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE BECAUSE THE LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP WERE CRIMPED AND CRACKED SO THERE WAS GASOLINE LEAKING OUT. (WONDER WHY I WAS REFUELING SO OFTEN?) I NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP COSTS $600. I'LL BE SURE TO USE MY 10% OFF COUPON. THE WORST PART WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO WARN ME!!!! ALSO WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, 2 NEW LIFT GATES, BRAKES AND NEW TIRES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD ABOUT OIL CHANGES/MAINTENANCE BUT I GUESS NEW CARS ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST 10 YEARS. BUMMER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY FAILED TO TURN AND PREVENTED THE ENGINE FROM STARTING.

NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED. NO FURTHER DETAILS OF THE CRASH WERE AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

OUR KEY STARTED STICKING IN THE IGNITION AND WE WOULD BE STRANDED UNTIL WE COULD FINALLY GET THE KEY TO TURN. ONCE THE KEY IS TURNED AND CAR IS RUNNING, KEY WILL FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION AND ONTO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING!! NOW THE IGNITION DOES NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF AND MUST BE SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED AT THE ACCESSORIES POSITION, WHICH LEAVES LIGHTS ON AND RADIO, AND DOORS BEEPING. IT IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL TO HAVE THE KEY FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING, BUT TO ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OUR CAR OFF. *TR

IGNITION LOCKED COULD TURN KEY OR PULL OUT AND/OR START VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS. THE MOST ONE I AM CONCERNED WITH IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON & OFF, MOSTLY STAYS ON. THIS STARTED SOMETIME AROUND AUGUST, 2014. I HAVE TAKE A PICTURE OF IT ON MY PHONE & WILL FORWARD WITH ANOTHER E-MAIL. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE VIN# & HAVE NONE. I KNOW THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, I'VE HEARD. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS SOON AS I TRAVEL TO WORK EVERYDAY & SOMETIMES TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME & I AM CONCERN SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING & THEY ARE WITH ME.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE TIMING CHAIN TENSION SLIPPED AND BROKE. THIS CAUSED BROKEN ROCKER ARMS AND INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE RESULT IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE! AT A COST OF $5,000 THIS LEAVES ME IN A DILEMMA, SHOULD I JUNK THE CAR (WHICH I BOUGHT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO FOR $7,500) AND PUT THE $5,000 TOWARD A NEW USED CAR. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT FAILURE FOR SATURN VUE, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL YEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE IGNITION FAILED TO TURN COMPLETELY INTO THE OFF POSITION.

THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS THE LAST YEAR OR SO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH.. I CAN'T TURN MY CAR ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THE KEY WILL GO IN TO THE IGNITION BUT IT WONT TURN THE CAR AND THERE HAS BEEN TIMES THAT IT'S GOTTEN STUCK WHERE YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FEW PLACES NOW BUT THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. SO THAT IS WHAT I DID AND AGAIN STILL GETTING STUCK. I HAVE TO GET A KEY CUT EACH YEAR BECAUSE THEY KEY LOOKS LIKE ITS ABOUT 70 YEARS OLD AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN TIMES I HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE KEY IS HARDLY IN THE IGNITION. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS. *DT

2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONSUMERS WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TA HIS WIFE WAS INJURED AND THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. *JB

THE KEY CONTINUALLY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION OF MY VUE. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY OR REMOVE IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BOB JEANOTTE BUICK GMC (14949 N. SHELDON, PLYMOUTH MI. 734-453-2500) AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ALSO HAVE A SECOND VUE THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO AND THE IGNITION WAS CHANGED TWICE BUT STILL HAS A STICKING ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THEM BACK IN TO HAVE THEM CHANGED BUT THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON THE LIST. ONLY 2007 ION AND SKY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY KNEE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY AND IT FELL RIGHT OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE TO FUMBLE AROUND FOR IT ON THE FLOOR WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND MOVING. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THAT I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE IGNITION SWITCH QUITE A FEW TIMES BACK AND FORTH IN ORDER TO START THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS ALOT SOME WEEKS AND OTHER WEEKS, JUST A FEW TIMES. *TR

DETECTED STRONG ODOR OF GAS AROUND REAR OF CAR. TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAD THE CAR ON A LIFT AND COULD NOT DISCOVER SOURCE OF GASOLINE SMELL. TWO OR THREE THOUSAND MILES LATER, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A THIRD MECHANIC AND, USING AN INSPECTION CAMERA, HE IMMEDIATELY FOUND THAT THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP HAD A CRACKED FUEL FITTING. THE MECHANIC ADVISED HOW DANGEROUS THIS LEAK COULD BE AS IT WAS DIRECTLY OVER THE EXHAUST. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE HAD BEEN USING IT TO COMMUTE 400 MILES ROUND TRIP TO HELP WITH OUR NEWEST GRANDCHILD. COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $400.00. THIS IS NOT A HAZARD UNIQUE TO OUR VEHICLE; REFER TO SATURN VUE FUEL LEAK AT WWW.SATURNFANS.COM. CONSIDERING CONTACTING A LAWYER DUE TO THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THIS COMMON HAZARD THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. A SYMBOL OF A PERSON HOLDING A AIRBAG APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, I THEN FELT THAT THE AIRBAG WAS GOING TO DEPLOY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC INTO A AUTO ZONE. AWORKER SEEN THE SMOKE, AND FELT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. HE SAID "GET OUT OF YOUR CAR, IT'S DANGEROUS! THE AIRBAG LIGHTS FOR BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE COME ON AND OFF. MY SATURN IS PAID FOR, AND I'M UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO INVEST IN A NEW VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRUSTED THE INDUSTRY? *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES AND NOW REMAINS ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROX. $1,000.00. WITH THIS CURRENT MALFUNCTION, IF I WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER, THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED/FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCH , #1 , I CAN REMOVE THE KEY WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN ,. #2 , WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION OFF THE KEY WILL JAM BEFORE REACHING THE KEY REMOVAL POSITION , THIS IS INTERMITTENT , AND I HAVE TURN TO THE IGNITION ON POSITION AND THEN TURN IT OFF A SECOND TIME , THIS USUALLY WORKS , MOST OF THE TIME . MY QUESTION IS GIVEN THAT GM HAS NOW IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH FAULTS (FAILURE) , WHY HAVE THEY ONLY JUST RECALLED SOME OF THE SATURN LINE OF VEHICLES AND NOT ALL OF THEM. I AM AWARE THAT SINCE GM CLOSED THE SATURN PLANTS , THAT THEY HAVE A TEN YEAR COMMITMENT TO FIX PROBLEMS ON ALL SATURN VEHICLES , THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TOO ME BY A GM DEALERSHIP IN THE SEATTLE AREA , DURING A VISIT TO GET A LUBE JOB . WE LIVE IN MOSES LAKE , WA ABOUT 300 MILES FROM SEATTLE . ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS DEALERSHIP ARE THE ONLY ONE IN WA CONTRACTED TO DO ANY WORK ON THE SATURN LINE OF VEHICLES. ARE YOU ABLE TO GIVE ME DETAILS ON THIS SITUATION . *TR

AIRBAG WARRING LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON MORE OFTEN. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. I BELIEVE IF A CRASH OCCURS, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

KEY STICKING IN IGNITION SWITCH, HAD REPLACED IN 2011 & IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, KEY WOULD NOT TURN SO HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY PUT LUBE IN IT, WORKED FOR A WHILE AND STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY, REALLY HARD TO START, GM RECALLED A BUNCH OF SATURNS FOR IGNITION SWITCH JUST NOT 2007 SATURN VUE, IT HAS SAME SWITCH THAT WAS RECALLED SO THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT BUT THEY WILL NOT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT, NOT TOO FARE OF GM TO LEAVE THESE CARS OUT OF RECALLS, SO NOW I'M STUCK. THERE IS ALL KINDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR KEY STICKING & NOT STARTING CAR FOR THIS 2007 VUE, PRETTY MUCH ALL VUE'S FROM 2002-2007 AS THEY ARE THE SAME PART, GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!, I BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007 & STILL OWN IT BUT I'M STUCK CAUSE GM WILL NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH IT THE SAME SWITCH THAT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER GM'S (2002-04 VUES RECALLED SO WHY NOT THIS ONE) AGAIN SAME RECALLED PART IN MY CAR. *TR

AIR BAG LITES (MAIN AND PASSENGER SEAT) GO ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY AND FOR NO REASON, ONE SOMETIMES BOTH. HITTING A BUMP SOMETIMES CHANGED THERE SETTING, EITHER ON OR OFF. CURRENTLY THEY ARE MOSTLY OFF. GM DEALERS AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS WANT $110 TO $200 TO ANALYZE AND $700 TO $1200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE DAYLITE RUNNING LITE INDICATOR NO LONGER WORKS, THE SEAT BELT ALARM (NOT FASTENED) DOESN'T ALWAYS SOUND AND THEN COMES ON 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER, AND THE HEATER DOESN'T ALWAYS "HEAT". *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,633.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WHEN MY GAS GOES DOWN BELOW A HALF TANK. STEERING BECOMES A BIT MORE STIFF WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. IT DOES EVENTUALLY GO OUT. WHEN I AM IN AND OUT OF THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY THE LIGHT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON. MY BRAKES ACT STRANGELY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES DONE SO I KNOW THEY ARE OKAY. IT WORRIES ME THAT THE AIRBAG JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON. *TR

CAR PARKED AND ROLLED ACROSS LOT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. KEY CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT BEING IN PARK. 3 ADDITIONAL INCIDENCES WITHOUT CRASH DUE TO SAFETY FUNCTION NOT ACTIVE HAVE OCCURRED. WAS TOLD THIS MODEL NOT PART OF RECALL.TOLD TO CALL DEALER BY GM RECALL OPERATOR AND TALK TO THEM. LEFT NUMBER AT 423 855-0550 TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WAITING FOR CALL BACK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO COLLEGE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THE AUTO-STOP FEATURE KICKED IN BUT ONCE I STARTED GOING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING HORRIBLY AND THE LIGHTS DIMMING. THE AIRBAG, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS DASH LIGHTS ALL STARTED TURNING ON AND THEN OFF ALSO. SO I NOW HAVE BOTH CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS STAYING ON. I WENT TO MY FATHERS HOUSE TO USE HIS CODE READER SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED AND I HAVE THE FOLLOWING CODES: POABB, POAFB, P1A47, P1174, AND THREE POA37. THESE CODES ARE ALL SAYING THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS OVER VOLTAGE AND THE DIAGNOSTIC FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HYBRID SYSTEM/POWER INVERTER. I'M GOING TO THE CERTIFIED SATURN DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING TO HAVE IT THOROUGHLY LOOKED AT. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THE HYBRID LINE BATTERY SYSTEMS FOR FAULTINESS AND NEEDS TO FIX THEM! *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL JUST COME ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WORRIES ME THAT THEY MIGHT NOT DEPLOY WHEN I NEED IT OR THEY DEPLOY AS I'M DRIVING-A SERIOUS HAZARD. 09/09/2014 ONSTAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS ADVISED ME ABOUT A DIAGNOSTIC ALERT REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND TO CALL MY DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTICS TEST TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM BUT WOULD COST ME OVER $100.00. I THEN CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD PRETTY MUCH THE SAME BUT WAS GIVEN SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER AND I WOULD GET A CALL WITH IN 48 HOURS. I DID GET THE RETURN CALL AND SAME RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE TESTED FOR FREE TO BE SURE THIS WILL NOT BECOME A RECALLED ITEM AFTER DRIVERS BECOME CRITICALLY HURT OR KILLER DUE TO BAD PARTS!!! LAW REQUIRES SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS FOR OUR SAFETY AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

HAVING TROUBLE WITH IGNITION. KEY IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND CAN COME OUT AFTER CAR IS STARTED AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A REPLACEMENT IGNITION PUT IN BY THE DEALER AFTER THE ORIGINAL IGNITION STARTED DOING THE SAME THING A FEW YEARS BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

I HAVE TWO MAJOR COMPLAINTS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE IN THE "ON" POSITION AND IS HARD TO START. GM HAS CLAIMED THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE IGNITION RECALL THE SECOND COMPLAINT, THE VEHICLE LEAKS FUEL FROM ABOVE THE TANK WHICH SEEMS TO BE TYPICAL TO SATURN VUES. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT. SEVERE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUES. THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT WE HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEMS. THE RADIO QUIT WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE IGNITION SWITCH/CORE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WE PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH GM KNEW ABOUT SIMILAR IGNITION ISSUES WITH SATURN VUE'S AND OTHER CARS. WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE KEY WILL FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING. GM HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM TIMES DESPITE OUR BRINGING IT TO GM'S ATTENTION FROM THE MOMENT WE PURCHASED THE CAR. WE REPLACED THE AIRBAG SENSOR BUT THE PROBLEMS HAVE PERSISTED. GM SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS DESPITE THE AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON. RECENTLY THE HYBRID BATTERY HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AGAIN. WE FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND GM DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. GM SHOULD PAY FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. OF COURSE, CONVENIENTLY FOR THEM, THEY SAY THE 8 YEAR/100,000 MILE HYBRID/POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NOT YET REACHED 100,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN VUE HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY, IGNITION, STEERING WHEEL AND AIR BAG LIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WON'T TURN OR COME OUT OF THE IGNITION, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN AND OUT OF TOWN. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MANY TIMES THAT AFTER ENTERING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. WHEN I TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE WARNING SIGNAL GOES OFF AND I HAVE TO PUT THE TIP OF THE KEY IN THE IGNITION JUST ENOUGH TO TRIGGER A PART OF THE SWITCH TO CLICK INTO PROPER PLACE. THESE THINGS ARE NOT NORMAL AND ARE DEFINITELY DEFECTIVE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL JUST COME AN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WORRIES ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN I NEED IT OR THEY DEPLOY AS I'M DRIVING-A SERIOUS HAZARD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERY OTHER SATURN HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR DEFECTS OTHER THAN THE VUE FOR THESE VERY SAME ITEMS. DO THEY NOT ALL REQUIRE THE SAME PARTS OF WHICH WE SPEAK OF? THERE ARE ENOUGH VALID COMPLAINTS HERE AND TO COME TO RESPONSIBLY TAKE CARE OF THE MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

THE IGNITION FAILED TO WORK. TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION DID NOT TURN THE ENGINE ON. DID NOT START THE STARTER MOTOR. ALSO AFTER TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION, THE KEY DID NOT RECOIL BACK TO THE ON POSITION AS IT DOES SO CUSTOMARILY. THE KEY JUST REMAINS IN THE START POSITION BY ITSELF. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO ALEXANDER/GMC/CADILLAC AUTO CENTER IN OXNARD, CA. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM GOING TO BE CHARGED CLOSE TO $600 (PARTS & LABOR). ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT THE DRIVERS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I TOOK IT TO THE SAME SHOP MENTIONED ABOVE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FAULT CODE WHEN THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER VIA OBD-II. HOWEVER, AND TO THIS DAY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO BE LIT, GIVING ME AN UNSETTLING FEELING. *TR

IGNITION KEY LOCKED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT TURN ON OR UNLOCK STEERING WHEEL CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE IMMOBILE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE STEERING TO HAZARDIOUS IF THE STEERING LOCKED WHILE MOVING. OTHER GM VEHICLES, INCLUDING SATURNS HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

MY KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. *TR

THE KEY BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN ON, IT TOOK REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, IT STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN EARLIER THIS YEAR. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN VUE HAS HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WITH THE KEY COMING OUT OF THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. *TR

THE KEY WILL FALL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING, ALSO THE DOOR LOCKS WILL FLEAKER OFF AND ON AND THE READING LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF., I AM AFRAID TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY CAR ESPECIALLY MY GRANDCHILDREN, I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE LOCKS WILL START ACTING CRAZY GOING UP AND DOWN CAUSING MY GRANDSON TO BE AFRAID, CAN I GET SOME INFORMATION ON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE KEYS NOT STAYING IN THE IGNITION, I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD ESPECIALLY WHILE THE CAR WAS ON. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE FIXED ONE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT AND THE FUEL PUMP THEY INSTALLED ALSO THE MANIFOLD AND ALSO THE FRONT ROTOR WAS ALL DONE. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DO LOVE MY CAR. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF IT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. NOW IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF TRYING TO FINALLY GET IT TURN TO CRANK THE VUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,008.

YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS IN THE RUN POSITION. IT'S VERY EASY TO REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IN THIS POSITION. *TR

FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW MY RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS ON ITS ON. THE DIAL WILL DISPLAY CRAZY CHARACTERS AND I WILL HAVE TO PUT IT BACK ON THE ORIGINAL CHANNEL JUST TO HAVE IT GO BACK TO THE CHANNEL OF ITS ON CHOICE. FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD WIND NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND I HAD TO STOP MY CAR SIT IN THE SEAT TO RESET IT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE BUT AFTER LOOKING HERE I SEE ITS NOT JUST ME. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM TOTALLY REPLACED AND MY IGNITION WORKED ON AT THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY ONE TIME AND IT IS NOW ACTING UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND CHOOSE THIS CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS AND GAS MILEAGE AND I HAVE LOVED IT FOR MILEAGE AND BEING ABLE TO PACK A LOT OF LUGGAGE. HE HATES TO TRAVEL IN IT DUE TO THE WIND NOISE. WE HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL WILL HELP US GET SOMETHING DONE WITH THE WIND NOISE AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP BEFORE IT CAUSES A FIRE OR SOMETHING. I DO HAVE A CHILD. *TR

KEY IS ABLE TO BE REMOVED WHILE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN ON POSITION, WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, MOVING, RUNNING OR OFF. STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (USED) IN 2010, AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES. VERY DISCONCERTING TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY SATURN VUE FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS. LAST WINTER I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS OR SO. IT WAS SO BAD TODAY THAT IT TOOK ME A HALF HOUR JUST TO GET THE KEY TURNED SO THE CAR WOULD START! I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED FOR EVERYONE! THIS IS A COST WE CANNOT AFFORD. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE GOOD LUCK WITH IT AS EXPECTED WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE. I HAVE THREE KIDS, AM IN SCHOOL FULL TIME RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO TRY AND START MY CAR FOR A HALF HOUR. WE LIVE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AND OUR WINTERS GET DOWNRIGHT BRUTAL, THERE IS NO WAY TO SIT THERE FOR A HALF HOUR WITHOUT HEAT. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. NO, THERE MAY NOT BE ANY DEATHS YET, BUT THERE DARN WELL COULD BE WITH THAT KIND OF FAILURE. *TR

MY VUE HAS MYSTERIOUSLY STARTED EMITTING A STRONG SCENT OF FUEL BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO A DAY ALERT TO DIAGNOSE AND SERVICE IT I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN A FIRE STARTED IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE FILLING IT WITH SMOKE. I PULLED OVER AND MY BOYFRIEND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES BUT MY BRAKE LIGHT AND DASH LIGHT AND INSTRUMENTATION HAD BEEN DAMAGE FROM ELECTRICAL HARNESSES FRYING . ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP RETURN SYSTEM AND FLOAT AS THEY WERE THE INITIAL CRACKED CAUSE. VERY SCARY THANK GOD AND JESUS MY BABY GIRLS WEREN'T IN THE CAR OR THAT WORSE HAD HAPPENED. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOESN'T GO DOWN UNLESS I SLAM THE DOOR. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ON WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL STAY ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT STRANGE TIMES. THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON WHEN THE OIL HAS JUST BEEN CHANGED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CYLINDER WAS LOCKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,522.

IGNITION KEY SLIPS OUT OF IGNITION IN ALL POSITIONS. DATE AND MILEAGE OF START ARE APPROXIMATE. ADDITIONALLY, IGNITION HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH KEY, MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO START. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT (TURNING RIGHT) ONTO STREET. THE POWER STEERING FAILED CAUSING ME TO SWING WIDE INTO MIDDLE LANE INSTEAD OF NEAREST LANE TO CURB. CAR TRAVELING IN MIDDLE LANE HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE POWER STEERING IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY ON THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY IN LOW SPEED SITUATIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

1) LIKE OTHERS, I ALSO HAVE HAD OCCASIONAL, BUT FRUSTRATING, PROBLEMS GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. 2) I RETURNED MY SATURN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR A LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHICH WAS TREATED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS A SEATBELT ISSUE. STILL COMING ON (AND THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT)! BUT I THINK THEY WERE WRONG AND THAT THE LIGHT COMING ON IS REALLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT. AGAIN, DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY, BUT ENOUGH THAT IF IT IS TRULY THE AIRBAG AND I'M IN AN ACCIDENT, I'M OUT OF LUCK. SOMETIMES IF I WAIT UNTIL THE BEEPING STOPS WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, BEFORE I PUT ON MY SEATBELT, IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T GO ON AS MUCH. *JS

AFTER GOING TO WALMART RETURNED TO SATURN AND TRIED TO START IT, IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION ABOUT 2 YEARS ; KEY LOCKS INTO SAME, WILL NOT START, KEY FELL OUT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO DEALER TO GET IGNITION REPLACED JUST TO GET CAR STARTED. SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *JS

THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER ON 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER WAS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH (125 POUNDS). FINALLY THIS AUTO WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER ON 5/28/14 AND THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED. THE TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME WAS $751.00. I WAS UPSET WITH GENERAL MOTORS FOR NOT RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AND DECIDED NEVER AGAIN TO PURCHASE A GENERAL MOTORS AUTO. THIS CAR WAS TRADED IN ON ANOTHER BRAND OF AUTO. *TR

AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY SATURN VUE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE IGNITION LOCK SYSTEM WHICH COST ME A FEE OF $141.12 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT THE A-ABRA-CADABRA LOCK SERVICE IN AKRON, OHIO. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I INSERTED THE IGNITION KEY, SOMETIMES THE MOTOR WOULD START, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T. OFTENTIMES, I HAD TO SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE IGNITION TO WORK. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE IGNITION KEY WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT OF ITS SLOT. BECAUSE OF THESE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS, I FEARED AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER OF THE LOCK SERVICE SHOP, AT THAT TIME HIS INSTALLATION AT 09/27/10, THE REPLACEMENT MECHANISM WOULD EVENTUALLY GIVE ME THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND FAIL ONCE AGAIN. HE SAID IT WAS THE ONLY IGNITION SWITCH AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND ONLY ONE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIER PRODUCED THE PART. HE SAID ALL OF THEM WERE DEFECTIVE. GM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART FOR THE SATURN VUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT IN THE IGNITION FAILURE. THIS SAME IGNITION SWITCH HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED IN THE SATURN ION AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. WHY NOT THE SATURN VUE? *TR

HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. CAN TAKE NUMEROUS TRIES AND SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE KEY FINALLY TURNS. NOT SURE WHAT MAKES THE KEY TURN -- HAD IT WORK AFTER BUCKLING THE SEAT BELT, SHIFTING THE STEERING WHEEL, OR TAKING THE KEY OUT AND TRYING AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORSENING IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, BUT HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES AND STEP ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL AND START THE CAR. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS REGULARLY SINCE WINTER. I DON'T HAVE ANY BIG KEY RINGS, ETC., SO THAT SHOULDN'T BE WHY IT'S DOING THAT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING THERE. IN ADDITION, A FEW TIMES MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS MODEL YEAR SATURN VUE ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF AN IDENTICAL NATURE. PLEASE RECALL THIS YEAR AS WELL AND GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING OFTEN ON. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE HORN STARTED BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING CONTINUOUSLY. IT REQUIRED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO MAKE IT ALL STOP. THE AIRBAGS AND HORN HAD TO BE DISABLED IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

THE IGNITION WILL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE YOU ARE TURNING THE KEY TRYING TO GET TO START. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (USUALLY IN 4TH GEAR) THE GAS PEDDLE WILL STOP WORKING, YOU CAN PUT IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND GET NOTHING. I USUALLY CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH IN AND MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL COME ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH SHE WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES AND GOES . THEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST UP AND DIED. HAD TO RESTART IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT NOT PICK UP SPEED WHEN I PUSH THE PEDDLE . AFTER RAMS DROP THEN I CAN PICK UP SPEED THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE HAD GOING ON FOR A WHILE. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHY. *TR

LIKE OTHER CARS IN THE IGNITION RECALL, WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON THE CAR THE WHEEL IS LOCKED, I NEED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I PRESS ON THE GAS. I CAN ALSO TAKE THE KEY OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. GM WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND MY MILEAGE IS OVER 100K. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS TURNING ON WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND THE DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE HEARD THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. WE ALSO HAD THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE RANDOMLY AS WE ARE DRIVING. *TR

THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN WHILE IN THE IGNITION OR IT WAS HARD GETTING IT OUT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION TUMBLERS AND WIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE KEY HAS HAD MANY INSTANCES OF TROUBLE INSERTING OR REMOVING FROM THE IGNITION. THE KEY CAN ALSO BE REMOVED WHILE IN ANY OF THE POSITIONS. AT TIMES THE KEY ALSO HAS TROUBLE TURNING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS. SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY SIMILAR MODEL YEAR SATURN VEHICLES ARE HAVING. I VENTURE THE PROBLEM IS IMPACTING MORE VEHICLES THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE LONGER IT CAN PUSH OF THE REPAIR THE LESS COSTLY IT IS TO THE COMPANY. *TR

IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OVER THE YEARS. IT CAN EASILY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. KEY CAN COME OUT OF IGNITION NO MATTER IF THE KEY IS NEW, A COPY, OR SHOWING ANY WEAR. I HAVE NEVER KEPT ANYTHING OTHER THAN ONE HOUSE KEY AND THE MANUFACTURER'S FAB ATTACHED SINCE I FIRST TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID, MY KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT TURN. AT TIMES IT HAS TAKEN ME A FULL HOUR TO GET THE KEY TO TURN AFTER COUNTLESS JIGGLING OF THE KEY AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR PRESSING THE BRAKE. I HAVE TRIED THE SPARE KEY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN A HOT CAR IN FLORIDA, AND I'M PREGNANT. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. *TR

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION LOCK FAILED, AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DID DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, HOWEVER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE FUEL EMISSION CAP BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,591. UPDATED 9/11/14*CN UPDATED 1/20/2015 *JS

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS SOMETIMES DON'T COME ON AND THE RADIO WILL BE ON BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT BUT THERE IS NO DISPLAY OR LIGHTS, IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES I CAN USUALLY GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE KEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE KEY WAS REPLACED, I REPLACED THE KEY BUT THE DEFECT RECURRED. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS, WHENEVER I GO TO TRY AND START THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THE CAR. *TR

KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE IGNITION IS NOT IN THE OFF POSITION AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE KEY FELL FROM THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING...I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND I CAN PULL THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE KEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE KEY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 40 MILES. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A COMPLETE DEALER SERVICE I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A SENSOR WAS BAD ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THEY DECLINED AND TOLD ME THAT "THINGS SOMETIMES WEAR OUT" I CONTACTED GM REGIONAL THEY DECLINED TO FIX THIS UNDER WARRANTY. SO I RELUCTANTLY PAID FOR THE REPAIR TOTALING $968.52. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WRONG AND A FAILURE OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

WHEN PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL FINALLY IT MAKES AN AUDIBLE CLICK AND I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR BUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE TIME I DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOME TIMES IT ONLY TAKES A FEW TURNS, OTHER TIMES I REPEATEDLY REMOVE THE KEY AND PLACE IT BACK IN THE IGNITION UNTIL IT IS ABLE TO ROTATE AND START THE CAR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE KEY SEIZED IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY A LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT CONFIRMED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103,000...UPDATED 06/17/14 *BF UPDATED 8/23/2017*CN

WHEN I WAS DRIVING I ACCIDENTALLY PULLED MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND I WAS STILL DRIVING...I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK...I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS A ONE OFF SO I TRIED TO PULL THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IT CAME RIGHT OUT. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON PERIODICALLY. RANDOM AT FIRST, NOW ALMOST EVERY TIME I'M IN THE CAR. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MECHANIC ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. MY HYBRID SYSTEM IS NOT KICKING IN. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND READ RECALLS ON THIS CAR FOR THIS YEAR WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES DEFECTED. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED. ITS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FIRST NOTICED MY KEY WOULD NOT FIT INTO IGNITION AND AFTER MANY TRIES THE ALARM STARTED BEEPING AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE BIGGEST WORRY HAS BEEN THAT ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, TOOK THE KEY OUT, STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE READY TO WALK AWAY AND REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS PERIODICALLY DON'T COME ON AND THE RADIO, ALTHOUGH I CAN HEAR IT, DOES NOT DISPLAY THE INFORMATION. *TT

MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON PERIODICALLY, WHETHER SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. AT TIMES IT WOULD GO OFF, BUT FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS IT STAYS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, WE DETECTED A "SHORT" IN THE RADIO SYSTEM, AS AT TIMES YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE STATION, AND I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THE STATION CHANGE WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY SELECTOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETECTED IN OTHER MODELS OF SATURNS, IN PARTICULAR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE KEY INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CONTACT INSERTED THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED O THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME INSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNING THE KEY TO TURN ON THE CAR. ONCE I GET THE KEY IN I HAVE TO JIGGLE IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE KEY IS ABLE TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 5-15 MINUTES. HOWEVER LATELY WHEN THE KEY IS FINALLY IN IT GETS STUCK AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO BE RELEASED LEAVING ME STRANDED. I ALSO NOTICED THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND WHILE THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG FAILS TO DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT ACCELERATES ITSELF FOR A MOMENT OR TWO AND IT IS VERY SCARY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I AM SCARED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I DRIVE MY 5 AND 1 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT THIS TIME DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS. MY SATURN VUE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER I REALLY WISH IT WERE BECAUSE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE GM VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE SATURN VUE 2007 IGNITION PROBLEM, AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM, AND ACCELERATING PROBLEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

THE EPS SYSTEM ON THE SATURN VUE IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE - PLEASE FIX THE EPS IS A PAIN TO DRIVE, IT SOMETIMES LAGS IN ITS ASSIST, AND THEN OTHER TIMES OVER CORRECTS. MY DAUGHTER HAS A DIFFICULT TIME WITH IT AND I AM CONCERNED WITH SAFETY. THE CAR JUST SEEMS TO WONDER SOMETIMES AS I DRIVE IT. I WISH GM WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GM EPS SYSTEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND WITHIN A YEAR MY KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY AT ALL TO EITHER TURN ON OR OFF THE VEHICLE OR TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I BELIEVE I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC FIX IT. THEN THE NEXT TIMES IT STARTED HAPPENING, IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DISABLED AND TAKING THEM OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY USING MY OWN CAR. ON AN EXTREMELY HOT DAY(IN THE 90S) MY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION (ALL I DID WAS PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY TO START THE CAR) AND THE INDIVIDUAL I HAD IN THE CAR REFUSED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR (WHICH POSED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO THAT INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE INSIDE THE CAR AT THAT POINT I AM SURE WAS OVER 100 DEGREES). I FINALLY CONVINCED THE INDIVIDUAL TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR. AFTER I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR I CALLED GM TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE.GM FIXED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY KEY (WHICH I HAD ANOTHER KEY MADE TO HOPE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE) A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE IS I WOULD BE: I PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY, IT WOULD PARTIALLY TURN, AND THEN STOP AND I CANNOT MOVE THE KEY AT ALL, EVEN TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT TO "UNLOCK" THE IGNITION. THIS WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. SOMETIMES IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE AND GO BACK TO IT, IT WOULD JUST WORK. OTHER TIMES, IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO GET IT TO WORK, IT WOULD NOT.EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVERS COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK. ALSO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY.I HAVE NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE LOOKED AT, BUT WITH THE REPORTS ON THE NEWS I THOUGHT COULD BE AN ISSUE TOO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON ROAD THAT WAS HAVING SOME ROAD REPAIR ON A ROUGH SECTION I LOST ALL POWER NO STEERING HARD BRAKES . I HAVE HAD THIS PROB SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, THANK YOU *TR

I WENT OUTSIDE ON A COLD MORNING AND ATTEMPTED TO CRANK MY 2007 SATURN VUE. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED INTO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED WHICH CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING AND THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $5,000 TO REPAIR IT. I'VE DONE RESEARCH SINCE THEN AND APPARENTLY GM HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH SATURN VUES BEFORE. TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WEAR OUT, PARTICULARLY NOT AT UNDER 100K MILES. MY VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I HAD NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. IT I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN IT SNAPPED IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OR FATAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED ON SATURN VUES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES IN THE PAST, BUT CLEARLY THE RECALLS NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2007 MODEL YEAR AND ANY OTHER YEARS AFFECTED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER ADVISED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST 1,000 DOLLARS. *TR

I NEEDED TO USE MY CAR TO DO ROUTINE CHORES, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NEED TO TOW THE CAR IN, PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE. I REFUSE SINCE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. I CALLED A LOCK SMITH WHO INFORMED ME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THESE CARS. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED BY THE LOCK SWITCH. IT GOT STUCK AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND HE REPLACED IT AGAIN, AT MY EXPENSE. IT IS BEGINNING TO STICK AGAIN, WHERE CAN I GO TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT EXPENSE TO ME. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID AND I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM BOULEVARD CADILLAC IN LONG BEACH, CA. IN NOVEMBER OR DEC. OF 2013 THE BATTERY IN MY VUE DIED AND I PURCHASED A NEW ONE FROM BUMIN CHEVROLET IN CULVER CITY, CA. AT THAT TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND SINCE I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK TO BOULEVARD CADILLAC. I TOOK THE CAR THERE IN DEC. OF 2013 AND THEY TOLD ME THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSORS HAD GONE OUT, THEY WERE NOT COVERED BY MY PORTFOLIO ELITE EXTENDED WARRANTY INS. POLICY NO. ? BOULEVARD CADILLAC DID NOT RETURN BUT POLICY BUT I CAN PROVE THAT I PURCHASED A POLICY. BOULEVARD CADILLAC TOLD ME THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSORS WERE NOT COVERED AND IT WILL COST $1600.00 TO REPAIR. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS AND A CHILD INC COLLEGE. NOW THE SUNROOF IS FLOODING AND I DO NOT HAVE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY TO SEE IF THE SUNROOF IS COVERED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT=VEHICLE!!! *TR

WHILE PARKED NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC WHO FOUND THAT THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP HAD CRACKS ALONG THE TOP PLASTIC CONNECTIONS WHERE THE FUEL LINES ATTACH, AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION OUR MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL HAD BEEN SPRAYING FROM THIS DEFECT AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A FIRE, THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTIONS BEING PLASTIC AND IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT IS ABLE TO GET DAMAGED EASILY IF YOU HIT A HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE TANK COMPRESSES AGAIST THE FRAME. AFTER PAYING $850.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED I FOUND OUT THAT SIMILAR GM VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME TYPE OF DEFECT BUT THE SATURN VUE HAS NOT, WILL IT REQUIRE A FIRE OR DEATH BEFORE THE SATURN IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY SUBDIVISION AND THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS WENT OFF IN MY 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. I SWERVED AND RAN INTO A TREE CAUSING MASSIVE FRONTAL DAMAGE AND THE DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. MY 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER CHILD CAR SEAT AND WAS OK BUT I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CHEST, KNEE, HIP, AND NOSE CONTUSIONS, STILL HEALING AFTER 4+ DAYS. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS PER ALLSTATE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS TO GO OFF BUT SEE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THERE ARE MANY AIRBAG ISSUES. VERY MAD AND DEMAND ATTENTION FROM GM SINCE SATURN IS DEFUNCT. *TR

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE GAS AFTER DRIVING. THE SMELL JUST BEGAN TO GET WORSE. UNBEARABLE AT TIMES. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC AND TELLS ME THAT THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP AND IT'S TOO MAJOR OF A JOB TO TAKE ON. SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. FIRESTONE IS WORRIED MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE. I HOPE THE DEALER HAS A BETTER INSIGHT ON THIS. MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR. IT'S VERY UPSETTING. *TR

MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING HOME I BEGAN TO NOTICED SOME SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. BEING ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE HOUSE I PROCEEDED TO THE STOP SIGN. I WAS GOING TO PARK AND CHECK IT OUT THINKING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING MINOR. JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN THE CORNER THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED. WHILE AT THE STOP SIGN THE SMOKE QUICKLY IGNITED INTO FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. TURNED OFF TRUCK, JUMPED OUT AND RAN TO THE SIDE YARD FOR THE HOSE. I YELLED OUT FOR MY WIFE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SHE CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND I TRIED TO CONTROL THE FIRE UNTIL THE POLICE AND FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED. I WAS AFRAID THAT IT WOULD EXPLODE AND DAMAGE OTHER CARS AROUND IT. THE FIRE SPREAD UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, UNDER THE CAR AND QUICKLY INTO THE INTERIOR THOUGH THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WE HAD JUST DRIVEN TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLIER THAT DAY IN THE TRUCK AND IT DROVE WELL. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON TO WARN ME OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, FUEL OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE HAZARDS. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MAIL OR EMAIL NOTIFICATION ABOUT RECALLS THAT DISCLOSED A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY I RETRACED MY PATH HOME AND SAW A TRAIL OF FLUID IN THE STREET THAT LEAD TO THE SPOT THAT THE CAR FINALLY ENDED UP IN. SO SOME KIND OF LEAK AND ENGINE FAILURE TOOK PLACE THAT CAUSED THIS AWFUL FIRE.I AM JUST SO GLAD THAT I MADE IT OUT ALIVE AND THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HER WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING BECAUSE SHE USUALLY DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE NOW TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

POWER STEERING MAKING A NOISE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 SATURN VUE 2.2L 4-CYL WITH 62,500 MILES. NOTICED RAW GAS SMELL MOST STRONG NEAR THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT LENS. TWICE MECHANICS HAVE CHECKED FOR FUEL LEAKS WITH NO RESULTS AND NO REAL DIAGNOSIS. THERE ARE NO MALFUNCTION CODES OR WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED. WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

ENGINE DIED AT 89,000 MILES ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY FELL APART BOTH OF THEM VALVE WAS BENT, TIMING CHAIN CAME LOOSE JUST WENT TO START VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START TOWED IN TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND FOUND IT TO BE ENGINE I TRIED TO GO THROUGH GM TO HELP WITH THIS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOTHING ELSE HAS WENT WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EVER AND I HAVE HAD OIL CHANGES NO REASON FOR IT TO FALL APART AND 4800 DOLLARS LATER I FEEL IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF I HAVE READ OTHER DEFECTS ON THIS 2.2 LITRE ENGINE OF COARSE NO HELP FROM MANUFACTURER EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2007 CAR THE ENGINE IS MADE SEPARATE FROM WHEN A CAR IS MADE I HAVE NOT HEARD OF TOO MANY VEHICLES WITH A DEAD ENGINE THIS EARLY...

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM MY SATURN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. IT IS MOST NOTABLE ONCE I STOP THE CAR AND GET OUT BUT IT IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. I TRACED IT TO AN AREA UP HIGH AND TOWARD THE REAR OF THE GAS TANK. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE STAINING FROM A LEAK ON A PIECE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BELOW THAT AREA. I HAVE LEARNED THE TWO SISTER VEHICLES OF THE SATURN VUE IN 2007, THE PONTIAC TORRENT AND THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX, WERE RECALLED IN CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THE VUE WAS. RECENTLY I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE MY GASOLINE MILEAGE HAS DROPPED FROM AROUND 25 MPG TO JUST BARELY OVER 20 MPG WITH NO CHANGE IN DRIVING OR WEATHER.. *TR

RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN GETTING THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE EMITTING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TRACED THE SOURCE TO THE TOP OF THE TANK, THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH ON LINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ON SEVERAL 2007 GM MODELS WITH THE SAME FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION. SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE VUE HAS NOT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 SATURN VUE V6 AWD IN JULY 2012 FROM BRIGHTON FORD, BRIGHTON MI NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN TEST DRIVING. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I BUY IT THE AC GOES OUT, AND THE SHUTTERING GETS WORSE. TAKE IT BACK TO THEM TO LOOK AT AND GET REFERRED TO A TIRE SHOP. WAS TOLD THE AC COIL HAD A HUGE LEAK, AND WAS PROBABLY "TOPPED OFF" AT BY THE DEALER AND THAT THERE WAS SOME TIRE WEAR ISSUES. BRIGHTON FORD REFUSED TO FIX ANYTHING. DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR THE SHUTTERING GETS WORSE AND WORSE TAKE IT IN TO BUD KOUTS CHEVROLET, LANSING, MI FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON, IT WAS BECAUSE OF A MISS FIRE IN TWO OF THE CYLINDERS. TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SHUTTERING, WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. 28 DAYS LATER I HAVE A TIRE EXPLODE, TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. TAKE IT BACK AFTER FINDING A HUGE HOLE IN THE SHOCK ABSORBER CASING. THIS TIME SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP OWNER DIRECTLY, AFTER TWO DAYS THEY FINALLY FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE SHUTTERING, A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER. THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE ON THE THESE VEHICLES, BUT STILL WANT ABOUT $2000 TO FIX IT. IF THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS THERE SHOULD BE. I WILL NEVER BY A GM MADE VEHICLE AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THREE NOW AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THE SUBARU I OWNED HAD WELL OVER 200,000 MILES AND NO ISSUES THE SAME GOES FOR A MAZDA I OWNED. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE CAR, THE IGNITION WON'T TURN UNLESS YOU TRY TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. STAYS ON FOR DAYS AT TIMES ,SOMETIMES ONLY 15 _ 30 MINUTES. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ,THEN STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY 22, 2012 IN CITY KIA IN ORLANDO( USED CAR) WITH 37,299 MILES ON THIS DAY.2007 SATURN VUE. IN MARCH 2013 I TOOK A RIDE FROM KISSIMMEE TO MIAMI AND WHEN I CAME BACK HOME AND GOT OFF THE TURNPIKE I HEARD A BIG SOUND UNDER MY CAR AND IT STARED TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPPED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION,THEY FIXED FOR $1,926. I ALSO HAS SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ONCE IN A WHILE THE RADIO GOES RANDOMLY CHANGING CHANNELS BY ITSELF AND WHEN I OPEN OR CLOSE THE WINDOWS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT LOOSES ELECTRICITY, AND ALSO A LEAK FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING A GREEN FLUID, ALSO THE AIRBAG GOES ON SOMETIMES BUT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. *TR

PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION ON MARCH 20, 2013 AND HEARD SOMETHING FALL IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DRAG THE GROUND. PULLED OFF TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND THERE WAS A BAR HANGING DOWN FROM THE CAR. TESTED THE CAR OUT AND IT WAS DRIVING AND STEERING FINE SO DROVE HOME. TRIED TO GO TO A GM DEALERSHIP (DUBLIN BYERS, DUBLIN, OH). THEIR HOURS SAID THEY WERE OPEN UNTIL 6:00 P.M AND IT WAS 5:45 P.M. BEEPED THE HORN AND THEY DID NOT ANSWER. WAS TAKING THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP ON THE 22ND TO GET A WHEEL BEARING REPLACED AND CALLED AND LEFT THEM A MESSAGE TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED. CHECKED MY CAR OUT ON MARCH 21, 2013 AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE STABILIZER BAR (SWAY BAR). I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT WHEN I WENT DOWN THE SLIGHT EMBANKMENT AT THE GAS STATION APPARENTLY THAT WAS ALL IT NEEDED TO FALL DOWN. IT IS A VERY CLEAN BREAK AND DID NOT BREAK AT THE BOLTS BUT IN THE MIDDLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO A NUMBER OF CARS AS FOLKS HAVE BEEN PUTTING IT ON THE INTERNET. I DID MAKE A COMPLAINT TO GM SATURN ON-LINE AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME AND WANTED ME TO TAKE THE STABILIZER BAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET THROUGH TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. WENT TODAY AND HE NEVER EVEN CAME OUT AND MET ME. HE HAD ONE OF THE SERVICE TEAM MEMBERS JUST TAKE THE INFORMATION DOWN AND THEY MADE A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL AND TOOK MY PHONE NUMBER AND SAID THEY WILL SUBMIT IT TO GM. I HEARD THAT THEY ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STABILIZER BAR ON THE NEW VEHICLES AS WELL. I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE AND AM HOPING THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PART. I AM INCLINED TO BELIEVE THESE PARTS ARE NOT SOLID METAL THAT THERE COULD BE SOME FILLER IN THEM AND BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I CAN SEND YOU A PHOTO OF MY PART IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (I90) NEAR ROCKFORD IL WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SEAT BELTS LOCKED UP AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED THROUGH GM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL. GM HAD AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR OUT. THE INVESTIGATOR SAID IT WAS OBVIOUS IT WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS BEEN VERY VAGUE IN ITS RESPONSE. ONLY SAYING THAT THEY BELIEVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS OK, "SOMETHING MUST HAVE MADE IT GO OFF". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE FAILURE BEGAN WHEN THE WIRE USED FOR THE HEATED PASSENGER'S SEAT FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HEAT ELEMENT WIRE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON WITH HIS PARTICULAR MODEL THAT HAD THE OPTIONALLY HEATED SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 12/19/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE WAS CREATED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER HEAT ELEMENT IN THE SEAT CUSHION WAS AN OPEN CIRCUIT. UPDATED 1/9/2013 *JS

I PURCHASED THE USED VUE IT CAME WITH 12,000 OR 12 MONTHS WARRANTY WE HAD IT IN THE DEALER MANY TIMES,OF COURSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULDN'T STAY ON. THEY TOLD US THEY ADJUSTED SENSOR CODE B0092. EVERY OTHER WHEN THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG THEY REPLACED PARTS BUT NOT THIS AIR BAG LIGHT. AFTER THE 12,000 WARRANTY WAS UP THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I BROUGHT IT THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED SATURN AFTER A $99.00 BILL,2 YRS LATER THE LIGHT IS ON. EVER ONCE AND A WHILE IF YOU TWIST AND THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS CAR TO OUR DAUGHTER WHO IS HAVING A BABY. WILL IT BE SAFE FOR A FAMILY CAR? THANK YOU *TR

NOTICED A FUEL LEAK AROUND TANK FILLER AREA. REPLACED FUEL CAP BUT DID NOT HELP. NOTICEABLE FUEL ODOR. VEHICLE IS HARD TO START WHEN SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD (LONGER THAN 6 HOURS). MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT LEAK WAS AROUND FUEL PUMP. WAS INFORMED OF RECALL INVOLVING OTHER SIMILAR 2007 GM VEHICLES, BUT NOT THE SATURN VUE, ALTHOUGH THE VUE HAS SAME TYPE OF FUEL PUMP. VEHICLES CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN THE RECALL INCLUDE THE SATURN ION, CHEVROLET EQUINOX, AND PONTIAC TORRENT. *TR

STRONG GASOLINE VAPOR SMELL, DEALER FOUND FUEL LEAK AT FUEL MODULE MOLDED HOSE.

DEALER CLAIMS OTHERWISE? GM REFUSES TO REIMBURSEMENT? *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 SATURN VUE FROM A DEALER AS WELL AND MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COMES ON A LOT TO. IT IS ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN IT BUT TURNS OFF WHEN SOMEONE DOES SIT IN IT. NO MATTER THE SIZE OR WEIGH OF THAT PERSON SOMETIMES IT WILL SAY IT IS ON SOMETIMES IT WILL SAY IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. NOT SURE IF THERE IS REALLY ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG OR IT IS JUST A LIGHT TELLING YOU THERE IS. ON-STAR SAYS THAT AIRBAGS ARE FINE THOUGH. LITTLE CONCERNED IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE THAT IS ONE HECK OF A LAWSUIT THEY WILL HAVE ON THERE HANDS IF WE ARE TO EVER GET IN AN ACCENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IF IT WAS INDEED A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE HERE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE AND FAST FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR *JS

I BOUGHT A 2007 SATURN VUE FROM A DEALER AS A USED VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GO OFF AND IT HAS PERSISTED TO THE POINT NOW THAT IT DOESN'T GO OFF AT ALL. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I CONSULTED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND FOUND NOTES WRITTEN IN IT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS INDICATED THAT IT WAS FIXED (SENSOR) BUT STARTED AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. EVERY MONTH MY ON STAR REPORTS INDICATE A PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. I HAD IT SEEN AT A GM DEALER THEY WANT ANOTHER $500 TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WOULD LEAK THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND ONTO THE FLOORBOARD NEAR THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND THE ODOMETER GAUGE FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I TOO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY IGNITION AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON. THE KEY WAS FIXED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. NOW MY ISSUES IS WITH THE WINDOWS RANDOMLY NOT WORKING AND PASSENGER AIR BAG ON. MY CAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DID NOT WORK FOR A YEAR. IT WOULD WORK OCCASIONALLY (WHEN I TESTED THE BUTTON) NOW THE PASSENGERS SIDE WORK, BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOSE NOT. I WAS TOLD BY SATURN THAT THEY ARE UNRELATED ISSUES. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THAT? MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP TO HAVE SERVICE DONE ON IT. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NEEDS TO BE FIXED. AT THE COST OF $265.00 JUST THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THEY SAID THAT THEIR IS NO PROBLEM WITH PASS. SIDE... I CAN SEE THAT THE WINDOWS ARE AN ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE ON SATURN... AND NO ONE IS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUES. THEIR IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE WINDOW SYSTEM. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT WHAT I'M READING HERE SEEM TO SHOW ME THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE REAL CONCERNING MY CAR. AND THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT THEY NOT RELATED? I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT. SOME ONE NEED TO CHECK IN TO THE WINDOW AND AIR BAG PROBLEM. THEIR MUST BE A SITE THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES??

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY REGARDLESS OF SPEED, CONDITION, OR TIME OF DAY. SEATS HAVE NOT BEEN WET FROM SPILLAGE OR ABUSE. THIS FAILURE CAUSES ME CONCERN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS NEXT. AND, IS THE AIRBAG GOING TO ACTIVATE. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN VUE ALL THE TIME SINCE I PURCHASED IT THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYMENT BAG LIGHT WILL NOT WORK, UNLESS I TURN ON THE PASSENGER HEAT , AND THE SEAT DOES NOT HEAT UP, AND I AM STILL NOT SURE IT WILL WORK BECAUSE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, ALSO MY ELECTRIC WINDOWS WON'T WORK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THE IGNITION SHIFT THE KEY STICKS AND STEERING COLUMN LOCKS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND IT WON'T RELEASE THE KEY. DEALER WON'T DEAL WITH IT, WONDER IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS, IT CANNOT BE TRUSTED, NOT SURE OF ANY RECALLS, BUT IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND FIXED BEFORE ANYONE COULD GET HURT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED IF THE HEATED SEAT IS NOT TOGGLED REGULARLY FROM LOW TO HIGH. ON PERMANENTLY AND DOES NOT RECOGNIZE SEAT OCCUPANT IF HEATED SEAT IS LEFT IN THE OFF POSITION. HEATED SEAT DOES NOT WORK EVEN IF IN THE LOW OR HIGH POSITION. *TT

I HAVE TWO 2007 SATURN VEHICLES, A VUE AND AN ION THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. I TOOK THE VUE TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS BAD AND WANTED TO CHARGE ABOUT $500.00 TO FIX IT. THE ION HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN TO BE CHECKED. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 SATURNS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM. *KB

THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND THEN I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. I KEPT TRYING TO TURN THE CAR, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I TRIED TO SEARCH FOR BULLETINS/RECALLS, BUT THE SATURN VUE WAS NOT AN OPTION IN YOUR MODELS OF SATURNS. *TR

FRONT STABILIZER BAR BROKE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. 1 INCH THICK BAR SNAPPED LEAVING PARTS DRAGGING, ABS SYSTEM INACTIVE AND CAR UNEXPECTEDLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED AT 83500 AND ALREADY MAKING NOISE AGAIN AT 85,400 MILES. *TR

THIS VEHICLE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS JUST 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED 8 TIMES. EACH FRONT ONE HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND EACH REAR ONCE. GM HAS NOT RECALLED THE ITEM AND HAS IN FACT EXTENDED MY WARRANTY BUT THIS VEHICLE IS OBVIOUSLY A LEMON OR THE BEARINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD REALLY BE CONSIDERED AS A COMPLAINT,I WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT IT AND WANTED TO LET SOMEONE KNOW ABOUT IT OR SEE IF IT NEEDED TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE A 2007 SATURN VUE AWD V-6,AND HAD WASHED OFF THE ENGINE OF GRIME AND THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER,NORMALLY WHEN I'VE USED THE A/C BEFORE I ALWAYS HAD COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS,FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON AFTER I HAD WASHED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED ON THE A/C I HAD NO COLD AIR TO COME OUT OF THE VENTS,BUT WHEN I ADJUSTED THE KNOB FOR THE DEFROSTER TO WORK,I HAD COLD AIR,BUT IF I SWITCHED THE KNOB BACK TO THE VENTS,THERE WOULD BE NO COLD AIR,SO I JUST PUT UP WITH IT THAT DAY. AFTER I GOT HOME,I LET THE CAR JUST SIT IN THE CARPORT FOR ABOUT 4 DAY'S BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN,AND OUT OF CURIOSITY I TURNED THE A/C ON,IT WAS ON THE VENT SETTING,AND THE AIR THAT WAS BEING BLOWN WAS COLD AGAIN,THE ONLY THING I CAN FIGURE IS,THAT WHEN I WASHED THE ENGINE OFF I GOT SOME KIND OF SWITCH WET,AND WITH THE CAR JUST SITTING FOR SEVERAL DAY'S AND THE SUN'S HEAT DRIED OUT THAT SWITCH,LETTING THE COLD AIR VENT TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AGAIN.IT WASN'T A BIG PROBLEM,BUT IT SURE WAS UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THAT DAY.THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT'S EVER HAPPENED,I'M ASSUMING THAT EVEN THOUGH WHEN YOU DRIVE AND IT'S RAINING THE WATER FROM THE WHEEL WELLS CAN'T REACH THAT SPOT OR SWITCH,BUT IF YOU PUT WATER ON IT FROM ABOVE,IT PROBABLY WILL CAUSE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM,YOUR GUESS WOULD BE AS GOOD AS MINE,BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN FIGURE THAT MIGHT OF HAPPENED,AT LEAST I HAVE COLD AIR BLOWING NOW!!! THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY RANTING,YOU NEVER KNOW SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE OR HAS HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 SATURN VUE IN 2009. I WAS NEVER TOLD OR MADE AWARE THAT THE TIE ROD ATTACHED TO THE TWO FRONT TIRES WAS ALMOST BROKEN. ONE DAY DRIVING VERY LOCALLY, IT BROKE AND WAS HANGING THERE TIL I GOT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE REMOVED IT TELLING ME I HAD TO REPLACE IT WHICH WILL COST $323.

MY 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE, 2010 AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY PACK (THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ONE), THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY PACKS, AND THAT IT WAS "SAFE" TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BATTERIES WERE REPLACED. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 30, 2010 AND NO BATTERY PACKS ARE AVAILABLE. I'M FINDING OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT ONCE THE BATTERY PACK GOES, ALL POWER WILL DRAIN AND THE CAR WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION WITHIN 30 MINUTES--THAT INCLUDES BRAKES AND STEERING. I'VE COMPLAINED TO GM WHO NOW HOLDS THE WARRANTIES ON SATURN AND THEY ADVISE ME BIWEEKLY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN BATTERY PACKS WILL BE AVAILABLE. ASIDE FROM SHIRKING ITS WARRANTY OBLIGATION, GM IS CREATING POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS ON THESE HYBRIDS WHEN THE RECALLED BATTERY PACKS FAIL AND POWER IS LOST WHILE THE CAR IS IN OPERATION. I'VE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE MANY VUE HYBRID OWNERS WAITING FOR BATTERY PACKS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN VUE GREENLINE AND HAVE HAD THE HYBRID BATTERY REPLACED AFTER HAVING THE CAR SHUT OFF AND RESTART AND LOSING ALL HYBRID FUNCTION. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT ALL BATTERY CELLS WERE LEAKING IN MY CAR. NOW THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP DUE TO 3 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN ONE DAY. FIRST TIME I WAS PARKING AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, SECOND TIME AT A STOP LIGHT AND THIRD TIME STOPPING AT TRAIN TRACKS AND THAT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I THEN PARKED MY CAR AND HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE WITH NO REPAIRS DONE.

MY SATURN HYBRID VUE HAS HAD SEVERAL "INCIDENTS" SINCE IT'S PURCHASE. THE FIRST WAS AT AROUND 800 MILES. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE STARTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ALL ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, IT JERKED SEVERELY AND LUNGED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PEDESTRIAN BEEN IN FRONT OF ME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO SATURN SERVICE. THERE WERE SEVERAL PROBLEM CODES IN ECM. THEY SAID IT WAS A CHAFFED WIRE THAT NEEDED TO INSULATED. AT AROUND 1,200 MILES THE JERKING HAPPENED AGAIN. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THERE WOULD BE EPISODES OF WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHTS OR TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD STALL BUT THEN IT WOULD DRIVE FAIRLY NORMAL. I CHECKED WITH ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY SAID EVERY THING SEEMED OK. I COMPLAINED TO THE SATURN DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE PERSISTENT BUT INTERMITTENT. I BEGAN TO FEAR DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT. ALL DURING THIS TIME THE MILEAGE WAS VERY LOW (ESPECIALLY FOR A HYBRID). THREE MONTH'S SINCE ITS FIRST FAILURE I TOOK THE SATURN VUE INTO SERVICE WITH ALL THE ENGINES LIGHTS ON -- THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH STARTER GENERATOR, AND THE CHARGING AND AUTOSTOP SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE 12 V AND 36 VOLT BATTERIES. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. NOW IT IS ONE MONTH LATER AND IT IS GOING BACK INTO SERVICE FOR LUNGING FORWARD AT A STOP SIGN, AND FOR ANSWERS ABOUT WHY I GET SUCH LOW MPG (22). *TR

HELLO, I AM WRITING CONCERNING ISSUES WITH MY BRAND NEW SATURN GREEN-LINE HYBRID VUE. I PURCHASED IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FRIGHTENING ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE GREEN-LINE HYBRID VUE- THE FIX DOES NOT WORK. IT HAS PUT OUR FAMILY IN HARM'S WAY. I RECEIVED A VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE TO FIX THE ELECTRIC HARNESS WIRING ON MY HYBRID, TO PREVENT PROBLEMS. WELL, I TOOK IT IN TODAY, AND NOT LESS THAN 1 MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (FIRST TIME EVER). THEN ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE IN THE CAR... ALL ELECTRONICS FAILED- RADIO LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, ENGINE WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS, LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF, SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK, THEN THEY WERE ALL FLICKERING, THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ONSTAR DIED, RADIO DIED, POWER STEERING DIED! ME AND MY FAMILY WERE IN THE CAR AND ALMOST DIED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION BECAUSE I COULDN'T BARELY STEER THE CAR!! WELL, FROM TAKING MY NEW CAR IN TO PREVENT A PROBLEM, TO THE SATURN TEAM ALMOST KILLING US, I AM FAR FROM HAPPY. PLEASE LET WHOEVER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS, KNOW IMMEDIATELY. IF WE HAD GOTTEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS PLANNED, WE MOST LIKELY WOULDN'T BE TALKING BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

2007 SATURN VUE GREEN LINE (HYBRID) REGARDING NEW (8/24/2007) CAMPAIGN #07195. SATURN OF TEMPE SERVICE ADVISOR JERED SCHAGER DESCRIBED TO ME A LOCAL INCIDENT, LIKELY RELATED TO THIS CAMPAIGN, WHERE THE VEHICLE QUIT RUNNING SUDDENLY DURING A MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN 18-WHEELER CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE FREEWAY. THIS WAS NOT MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS RELATED TO ME WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. MY SYMPTOM OF THE PROBLEM WAS A "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. I WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT IF I HAD NOT TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM SOON, THEN I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED SOMEWHERE (HOPEFULLY NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT IN 130 DEGREE SUNSHINE), OR WORSE YET IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FIX TO MY VEHICLE WAS TO REROUTE SOME JUMPER WIRING AND REPROGRAM THE ECM & TCM.

I RAN INTO A BUILDING AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FRONT END HIT- BROKE INTO WALL, BRICK COLUMN SMASHED FRONT OF CAR. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. IT'S A 2007 SATURN VUE--PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY OF 2007. *TR

VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. PURCHASED 5/26/07 - 7/7/07 IN SHOP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. CHK. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, GAUGES ERRATIC, POWER STEERING FAILS, MILEAGE 3,043. PROBLEMS PERSIST, EVENTUALLY ENTIRE MAIN WIRING HARNESS REPLACED (REMOVED SEATS, DASH, ETC. FROM INTERIOR). MORE PROBLEMS EACH TIME, GAUGES STILL ERRATIC, LOW POWER LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COME ON. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, IF POWER LOST AT HIGH SPEED COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT. *TR

2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID MODEL: KNOWN ISSUE: WIRING HARNESS, BUT NO RECALL. CAR LOOSES ALL BATTERY POWER WHEN DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SATURN KNOWS OF ISSUE W BULLETIN TO REPLACE PART OF WIRING HARNESS. *JB

OUR NEW 2007 SATURN VUE GREEN LINE HYBRID SUV HAD A CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT AT 2334 MILEAGE. WE LUCKILY WERE IN TOWN AND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS THEN TOED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC OR ON AN INTERSTATE WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. SATURN HAD A TECH DOC#1978388 AND TSB#07-06-03-004 AS NOTED ON OUR SERVICE RECEIPT. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THESE VEHICLES AND DID NOT PERFORM A ENGINE HARNESS JUMPER REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAM BEFORE THE NEW VEHICLE WAS SOLD. I WOULD REFER THE NHTSA TO THE EDMUND TOWNHALL FORUM AT THE WEB ADDRESS BELOW WHICH HAS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WHICH ALSO LIST INCIDENCES OF THE SATURN VUE GREEN LINE STOPPING IN TRAFFIC DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F0D7FDB/ *JB I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I HAVE LIVED NORTH OF DES MOINES FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE NOTICED GROWING TRAFFIC BETWEEN DES MOINES AND ANKENY AS THE AREAS OUTSIDE OF DES MOINES CONTINUE TO GROW. I HAVE OBSERVED A GROWING PROBLEM AND I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE CAUTIOUS WITH ROAD RAGE DRIVERS. ON NE 14TH HEADING NORTH (DIRECTLY NORTH OF THE I-80) THE LEFT LANE MERGES AFTER THE STOP LIGHT. VEHICLES WILL SPEED THROUGH THE LIGHT AND THEN MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO BEAT THE TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE MUCH SAFER AND IT WOULD REDUCE THE ROAD RAGE DRIVERS/INPATIENT SPEEDERS IF YOU WERE TO MERGE THE LANES BEFORE (SOUTH) OF THE LIGHT. IS THIS A POSSIBILITY?*JB
