"TAKATA RECALL" - AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ON INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP RANDOMLY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST YEAR. IT WILL STAY LIT FOR A DAY, BUT THE NEXT DAY IT WILL BE OUT. SOME DAYS IT WILL STAY LIT FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO THEN TURN OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF MY VEHICLE IS IN GEAR, STATIONARY, MOVING, ETC. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON.

"TAKATA RECALL." MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FEW DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. I BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO. I TRIED TO RESET THE AIRBAG SIGNAL LIGHT BUT NO SUCCESS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, WHEEL HUB, AND BEARING TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY WIRING MELTED, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DEALERS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT COMPLETELY TOTALED OUR 2007 SATURN VUE. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE ENDED UP UPSIDE DOWN IN A RAVINE AFTER HITTING A SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT MEANT NEITHER OF THEM WAS OPERATIONAL. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT WHAT A HORRIBLE TURN OUT THIS COULD HAVE HAD. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD!

I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN FEB OF 2015. IT HAD 92.000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I PAID $8K. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. FIRST, THE STEERING WAS BAD. APPARENTLY IT'S A COMMON ISSUE FOR GM VEHICLES TO HAVE A RACK AND PINION ISSUE. IT NEEDED TO BE REGREASED, WHICH WAS AN EASY FIX, AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME. THE NEXT MONTH I MOVED FROM MN TO GA AND WHEN I GOT DOWN HERE (IT'S HOT) REALIZED THE AC DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I DECIDED TO BE SWEATY ALL SUMMER. BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SEIZED UP AC COMPRESSOR WAS THREATENING MY ENTIRE SERPENTINE BELT. SO I GOT THAT FIXED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER. JUST A WEEK AFTER THAT FIX, MY BRAKES WENT OUT. THE CAR JERKED AND SQUEAKED AND IT WAS GENERALLY SO BAD THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO MOVE. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS SO LOUD IT WAS EMBARRASSING. I TOOK IT IN AND THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND ONE BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $850. THE REMAINING PROBLEMS ARE: AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS, BUT RECENTLY IT DOESN'T EVER TURN OFF. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, BUT I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM HAVING THE BREAKS FIXED. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR WAS A TOTAL LEMON.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LITE COMES ON STAYS ONE FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON- TOOK TO SHOP- THEY SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG AND SEAT WARMER CONNECTIONS- AIRBAG LIGHT SOMETIMES GOES OFF WHEN SEAT WARMER IS ON... BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 900-1200 TO FIX THIS- THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED.

IGNITION KEY CAN BE FULLY REMOVED AS VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND ALSO WHILE SWITCH IS IN ACC. IGNITION SWITCH ALSO STICKS.
