2006 SATURN VUE Complaints

1ST ISSUE. BOTH HEATED SEATS WENT OUT. THEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SOMETIMES GOES OFF EVEN WITH PASSENGER SITTING IN CHAIR. I CAN RESET AIRBAG WITH PASSENGER HEATED SEAT BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGER. KEY SWITCH LOCKS AND I HAVE TO JIGGLE STEERING WHEEL TO RELEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN RANDOMLY GOING ON AND OFF. SOME DAYS I WILL TURN MY CAR ON AND IT WILL STAY ON FOR AWHILE AND THEN I WILL TURN OFF AND START BACK UP AND IT WILL BE OFF.

I WAS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE IGNITION SWITCH REFUSING TO TURN OR ENGAGE TO START THE ENGINE. I CHECKED RECALL NOTICES AND NOTICED THAT OTHER YEARS, LIKE THE 2004, HAD RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES TO HAVE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I MISSED A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAD TO PAY $332.30 (INCLUDING LABOR) IN JULY, 2016 TO HAVE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED, INCLUDING HAVING THE LOCK CYLINDER REKEYED TO MY ORIGINAL KEYS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAD JUST HAD ANOTHER PERSON IN THE PREVIOUS WEEK WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, A PUFF OF SMOKE AND AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE HIGH BEAM INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND FAILED TO SHUT OFF AS THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS BY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND THEN SHUTTING IT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,007.

7-25-2016, I WAKEUP TO USE BATHROOM, THEN LOOKING OUT TO MY BACKYARD I SEE MY LIGHTS ON MY SATURN VUE ARE ON. SO I QUICKLY GET MY KEYS AND TRY TURNING LIGHTS OFF BUT THEY WOULDN'T TURN OFF, THEN I GO OUTSIDE TO VEHICLE TO TURN THEM OFF BUT THEY STILL WOULDN'T GO OUT. SO MY HUSBAND WAKES UP AND COMES OUTSIDE AND TURN VEHICLE ON AND SWITCHES SWITCH BACK AND FORWARD AND THEN THEY GO OUT. BUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. CAME ON ONE DAY I GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE FOR WORK IT WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I REACHED OUT TO SATURN TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO SET AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, WHICH WOULD COST $100 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE ONLINE PAYING OVER $1000 TO HAVE THE LIGHT ISSUE REPAIRED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. NOW I CANNOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE INDICATOR STAYING ON.

TAKATA RECALL? MY 2006 SATURN VUE AIRBAG SYSTEMS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN WILL GO OFF. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS WITH NO ACCIDENT IN CAR HISTORY. WONDERING IF IT(AIRBAGS) WILL GO OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR NOT GO OFF WHEN IT NEEDS TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON, BUT DID NOT START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE "JUMPED TIME AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE". THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

WE JUST PURCHASED A 2006 SATURN VUE, ONE OWNER, LOW MILES (53,000). HAD AN AUTO CHECK DONE AND WAS HAPPY IT HASN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AUTO CHECK STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. AFTER HAVING FOR TWO WEEKS THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND INDICATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SUBJECT AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RECALL ON. THE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT AIRBAGS ARE NOT INFLATING OR OPERATING PROPERLY. NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR VEHICLE AND NOT HAVING FUNDS TO REPAIR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM SINCE GM HAS QUIT MAKING THE SATURN. PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL, SO MANY LIVES DEPEND ON THIS.
