2004 SATURN VUE Complaints

IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION. VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MAY 2004 WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V490000 (GM RECALL # 14506). *TR

I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON MY 2004 SATURN VUE WAS AT AN ANGLE. I WENT AND LOOKED AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BAD BUSHING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS ALL BROKEN. AS I GOT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING UNLESS YOU COMPLAINED AND BROUGHT IN IN TO THE DEALER. WELL SATURN IS NO LONGER AND I'M STUCK WITH FIXING THIS PART AND GM WILL DO NOTHING. I COULD HAVE LOST MY WIFE AND ALL MY FAMILY. THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH, THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNED OFF AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER KEY ON THE KEY RING AT THE TIME I WAS DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE SUV AND RESTART IT TO CONTINUE. THIS IS SAME IGNITION SAFETY DEFECT AS IN THE OTHER SATURNS I HAVE READ ABOUT. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT THE KEY FROM MY 2004 SATURN VUE WITHOUT THE IGNITION BEING IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I CHECKED THE GM WEBSITE WITH THE VIN NUMBER AND IT CAME BACK THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING RECALLED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER SATURN VUE VEHICLES THAT ARE UNDER RECALL. THANKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN ON AFTER KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V490000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BROKE, MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. IT FELT AS IF WE WERE GOING TO FLIP, I SLOWLY MOVED OVER AND LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO STOP BEFORE A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT OCCURRED. ONCE WE STOPPED WE GOT OUT TO FIND THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TILTED INWARD AND UNDRIVABLE. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SHOP WE FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND FRAME BROKE AS WELL AS THE CONTROL ARMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO BE DRIVING A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS AGAIN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES. *TR

WITH ALL THE CONCERNS WITH IGNITION KEYS FALLING OUT WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING I CHECKED OUR VECHILE AND FOUND OUT THAT OUR 2004 SATURN VUE HAS THAT PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL VUE'S NEED TO BE INSPECTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TURN SIGNALS STOP OPERATING AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE IGNITION NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF, CAR RESTED THEN WILL OPERATE NORMALLY FOR A WHILE WHEN TURNED BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNTIL REPEATED ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, I WAS INJURED MY FACE NOSE & NECK, ALSO MY KEY COMES OUT OF IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS ON *TR
