2006 SATURN VUE Complaints

2006 SATURN VUE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED, COST IS OVER $1000.00 TO REPAIR. UNTIL REPAIRED, THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT FUNCTION! *TR

OUR 2006 SATURN VUE WAS PURCHASED FROM A SATURN DEALERSHIP WITH JUST OVER 36000 MILES ON IT AND HAD THIS AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM WHEN PURCHASED. WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER WE HAD IT FOR A WHILE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS IN THE OFF POSITION ALMOST ALL THE TIME AND ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN AN ADULT IS IN THE SEAT WILL SWITCH RAPIDLY BACK AND FORTH BUT ONLY ON MOMENTARILY. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CLUSTER IS ALSO ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PASSENGER LIGHT IS IN THE OFF POSITION. *TR

AIRBABS - MULITPLE IMPACT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND FRONT. CAUSING PASSENGER FRON T WHEEL TO BREAK AT AXLE AND TWO REAR WHEELS TO BEND UNDER FRAIME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

I OWN A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED OR TOGGLES BETWEEN OFF AND ON WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POSTURE OF THIS PERSON OR THEIR WEIGHT. THE LIGHT (INDICATING AIR BAG OFF) IS USUALLY LIGHTED WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A NON GM DEALER WHO STATES THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES. OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING INTO A PARKING SPACE, IN REVERSE OR TRAVELING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME EXTREMELY HARD AND TIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 41,000. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ UPDATED 06/18/10.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEATING MECHANISM. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 49000. UPDATED 4/13/10 *CN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE WHEN SOMEONE SAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. UPDATED 06/17/10*JB

HIT A DEER HEAD ON @ 50 MPH, FRONT END TOTALLY SMASHED IN, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CARRIER BEARING IS DEFECTIVE ON MANY OF THESE VEHICLES, ENOUGH SO THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFORMULATED THE PART. THIS HAZARD OCCURS IN MANY VEHICLES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, BUT AS OF YET, HAS NOT BEEN BY SATURN. THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS PART IS NON-EXISTENT AT THIS POINT. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANYONE IS INJURED BY THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR

MY WIFE'S 2006 SATURN VUE WENT OUT OF CONTROL ON A RAINY ROAD AND HIT A TREE AT DIRECT IMPACT. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THANK GOD SHE AND MY SON WASN'T KILLED AND ONLY SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. HE STATED THAT WHEN HE GOES TO MOVE FROM ONE SHIFT TO THE NEXT. THE SHIFT GEAR BECAME STIFF AND BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TWICE FOR THE FAILURE TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE IS 61,000. UPDATED 09/17/09.*JB
