2007 SATURN VUE Complaints

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

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

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

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

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
