2007 SATURN VUE Complaints

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

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
