SATURN Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE KEY CAN BE PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WHILE THE CAR IS ON AND IN MOTION WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE. GM IS STATING THAT THE CAR IS NOT UNDER RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST AND THE CAR WAS BUILT AT A DIFFERENT PLANT. IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. WHY WON'T THEY FIX IT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY RELEASED OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V490000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING. WENT ON RECALL WEBSITE AND SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. VEHICLES OF THIS SAME YEAR HAVE A RECALL ON THEM BUT USING THE VIN NUMBER IT SAYS THIS VEHICLE HAS NO RECALL. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING MY VEHICLES RECALL 14506 BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2004. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SCHEDULE A FIX FOR THIS RECALL. RICE BUICK GMC , 8330 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 865-693-0610 I AM TOLD THE PART FOR THIS FIX HAS YET TO ARRIVE AND I WILL BE CALLED WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS, I BELIEVE 4 MONTHS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO RECEIVE PARTS. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE MY CALL. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE ANOTHER INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. ANY HELP OR ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR

2007 SATURN SKY HAD IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED MAY 2014 AT 49500 MILES. DECEMBER 2014 SERVICE AIRBAG CAME ON AT 50000 MILES. $ 900.00 TO REPLACE AT DEALERSHIP. *TR

OUR KEY STARTED STICKING IN THE IGNITION AND WE WOULD BE STRANDED UNTIL WE COULD FINALLY GET THE KEY TO TURN. ONCE THE KEY IS TURNED AND CAR IS RUNNING, KEY WILL FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION AND ONTO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING!! NOW THE IGNITION DOES NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF AND MUST BE SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED AT THE ACCESSORIES POSITION, WHICH LEAVES LIGHTS ON AND RADIO, AND DOORS BEEPING. IT IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL TO HAVE THE KEY FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING, BUT TO ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OUR CAR OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MALFUNCTION MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED. NO FURTHER DETAILS OF THE CRASH WERE AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

DRIVING TO MARYLAND FROM CHARLOTTE NC. I WAS ON THE HWY GOING APPROX. 65. CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, NO NOISE, NO WARNING. AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY TO A STOP. LOOKED DOWN AT THE GEAR SHIFT, IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE IGNITION WAS IN THE ON POSITION. I PUT ON THE BREAK AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. WAITING A FEW SECONDS, I TURNED THE KEY. THE CAR STARTED UP AND THE CHIME WENT OFF. IT WAS THE CHIME THAT THE CAR MAKES WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND THE KEYS ARE STILL IN THE IGNITION.( A SERIES OF QUICK DINGS) I DIDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. ALL I DID WAS START THE CAR UP. I CONTINUED, NO PROBLEM. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 29TH, 2014 ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND THE SAME SPEED. THE CAR JERKED SLIGHTLY AND SHUT OFF. THIS TIME IT WAS AT NIGHT. I COASTED TO THE EXIT THAT WAS COMING UP. HAD TROUBLE STEERING BECAUSE THE STEERING WENT OUT, HEAD LIGHTS DIMMED. CAR SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT. SAME SITUATION. IGNITION ON, CAR IN DRIVE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON. CAR STARTED UP AND THE CHIME THAT GOES OFF IF YOU OPEN UP THE DOOR WITH THE KEYS STILL IN THE IGNITION, WENT OFF AGAIN. THE SAME AS BEFORE. *TR

IGNITION LOCKED COULD TURN KEY OR PULL OUT AND/OR START VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS. THE MOST ONE I AM CONCERNED WITH IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON & OFF, MOSTLY STAYS ON. THIS STARTED SOMETIME AROUND AUGUST, 2014. I HAVE TAKE A PICTURE OF IT ON MY PHONE & WILL FORWARD WITH ANOTHER E-MAIL. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE VIN# & HAVE NONE. I KNOW THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, I'VE HEARD. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS SOON AS I TRAVEL TO WORK EVERYDAY & SOMETIMES TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME & I AM CONCERN SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING & THEY ARE WITH ME.
