2005 SATURN VUE Complaints

MY CAR HAS THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT ON, AND THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALMOST GONE OFF THE ROAD TONS OF TIMES WHEN THE ROADS HAVE BARELY ANY SNOW OR ICE ON THEM, AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL! THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE SATURN VUES SEEMS TO GO OUT ALL THE TIME, WHICH CAUSES OTHER PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONING BREAKS, BEARING DEGENERATION TOO! I NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE BREAKS AND NOW I NEED NEW BEARINGS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 84K MILES ON IT!!! AND WITH MY CAR, MY TRANSMISSION IS ALSO GOING OUT AND THAT STARTED AT 60,000, MILES AND NOW ITS GIVING ME REAL PROBLEMS TOO! SO THE SATURN VUE 2005 AWD V6 CAR I HAVE... HAS A COMMON PROBLEM OF CHEAP ABS SYSTEM PARTS GOING BAD, AND BAD TRANSMISSIONS! BOTH NEED TO BE RECALLED, AND ADDRESSED BY GM. *TR

IGNITION CYLINDER SWITCH.KEY COMES OUT AT ALL TIMES.AND THEN WHEN U TURN IT OFF SWITCH LOCKS AND NOW IT WANT UNLOCK TO START

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MONTHS.

STARTED SMOKING THE 1ST TIME. REPLACED BRAKES,ROTORS AND BREAK CALIPER ON PASSENGER'S SIDE. RAN AND DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AND DID IT AGAIN. ALL BRAKES AND ALL THAT WAS REPLCED WERE SMOKING HOT AND BROWN IN COLOR LETTING ME KNOW THAT ALL PARTS OVER HEATED. MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE 2014 AND NOT USED UNTIL I HEAR A RECALL. I ALREADY KNOW THIS PROBLEM WILL ARISE CONTINUALLY BY ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND. DEALERSHIPS CAN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (70-80MPH) ON THE FREEWAY, FOR NO REASON AT ALL MY DRIVING SPEED AUTOMATICALLY DROPS TO AROUND 50MPH AND WILL STAY THAT WAY EVEN IF I FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. THE ONLY WAY TO PICK SPEED BACK UP IS TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 35-45MPH AND THEN GRADUALLY PICK SPEED BACK UP. WHILE THIS SPEED PROBLEM IS OCCURRING, AN ORANGE TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK LIGHTS UP ON RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD.

KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL?

IGNITION CYLINDER - KEY CAN COME OUT WHEN NOT IN "OFF" POSITION. FOR NOW, IT'S JUST HAPPENING WHEN PARKED AND DRAINING THE BATTERY, BUT IT'S UNSAFE

MY 2005 SATURN VUE HAS HAD PROBLEMS FOR YEARS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AFTER PARKING AND TURNING IT OFF, SUCH THAT IT TAKES QUITE A BIT OF "JIGGLING" OF THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO ENABLE THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION COLUMN. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY IS ABLE TO BE REMOVED WHILE ON. I HAD NOT THOUGHT TO SEE IF IT WAS RECALLED, BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY FATHER'S 2003 SATURN VUE DID HAVE THE STEERING/IGNITION COLUMN RECALLED AND REPLACED FOR EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM EXPERIENCING.

THE SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS IT'S SELF VERY OFTEN. I THROTTLES THE SPEED RANDOMLY AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GET STATIONARY IT LOCKS UP THE FUEL SO THERE IS NO WAY TO START THE CAR UNTILL YOU DO THE RELEARN PROCESS WHICH TAKES 30 MIN OR LONGER AND YOUR LUCKY IF THAT WORKS. YES THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED TO ME. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND LAST TIME IT WAS DRIVING WAS THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME AFTER BUYING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE IGNITION KEY WAS ABLE TO BE EJECTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURN TO THE OFF POSITION, THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN ON, EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION.THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
