SATURN Complaints

THIS IS AN OPEN RECALL: "IF AN ACTIVE FAULT EXISTS IN THE PPS SYSTEM AND A CRASH OCCURS, THE SDM WILL NOT DEPLOY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SUPPRESSION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE PASSENGER." THIS IS STILL NOT ADDRESSED BY GM! WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING FORCED TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION? MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: N172080280

MY TRUNK BUTTON ONLY WORKS ON OCCASIONS AND 2 OF MY DOOR WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK IF IT'S HOT OUTSIDE. IF IT'S COLD ALL MY DOORS WORK. IT'S CRAZY! I HAVE TO WALK AROUND MY CAR LOCKING ALL MY DOORS. ALTHOUGH LOCKED OR NOT THE ALARM WILL GO OFF. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY WATER PUMP 2 TIMES IN THIS CAR. I TOOK IT IN FOR BRAKES & THEY'RE SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AGAIN! THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD BE DOING THIS. THE WATER PUMP WAS CHANGED TWICE BY AN ACTUAL DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS ISSUES ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT!

YIELDING ONTO A HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT HAD NO FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN APPLYING GAS BUT CORRECTED ITSELF. NEXT, TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ONCE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED, THERE WAS NO 3RD, 5TH OR REVERSE GEAR. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. MASSIVELY EXPENSIVE TRANSMISSION REBUILD.

MY IGNITION SWITCH WOULDNT TURN ONCE THE KEY WAS IN SO I OPENED IT UP TOOK A LOOK AND PUT IT BACK IN. NOW IT TURNS BUT IT TURNS ON AND BACK OFF BEFORE AFTER JIGGLING THE KEY A LITTLE IT WOULD TURN ON. NOW IT DOESNT JUST STARTS AND TURNS OFF.

WAS DRIVING 60MPH WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER ON A HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. ALMOST CAUSED US TO WRECK BUT WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. PULLED INTO A SHOP WHEN WE GET INTO TOWN AND FLUID IS FULL, IT'S NOW AT THE DEALER BEING DIAGNOSED.

I HAVE RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER IN REGARDS TO THE 17036 RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE AND THE DEALER A FIX ISN'T AVAILABLE, BUT ACCORDING TO THE LETTER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT SATURN A TEMPORARY FIX IS. I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND WITH SATURN THEY CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND SET ME UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I WENT THERE THE DEALER HAD NO AVAILABLE INFORMATION FOR THIS RECALL. CALLED SATURN AGAIN TODAY AND GOT THE SAME STORY SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME RIGHT BACK AFTER THEY ORDER THE PART. THE DEALER DID CALL ME RIGHT BACK BUT SAID THE PART WASN'T AVAILABLE YET FOR THEM TO ORDER AND TO WAIT UNTIL I GET THE FINAL NOTICE. I AM TIRED OF SATURN GIVING ME THE WRONG INFORMATION AND BEING SENT ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE. MY LIGHT ISN'T WORKING AT THIS TIME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IMPACT THAT HAS ON THE AIRBAG WHETHER IT WOULD DEPLOY OR NOT IF I NEEDED IT. I HOPE WE NEVER HAVE TO FIND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY.
