2007 SATURN VUE Complaints

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
