I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES THE IGNITION WILL PHYSICALLY NOT TURN SO THAT I CAN CRANK THE VEHICLE. *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF THE RECENT ONSET OF AN UNUSUAL RUMBLING SOUND WHEN DECELERATING. AFTER A TEST DRIVE AND INSPECTION THE MECHANIC WROTE THESE COMMENTS ON THE REPAIR INVOICE. "DETERMINED FRONT FRAME RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING EXTREME MOVEMENT OF ENGINE CRADLE AND ENGINE ASSEMBLY. UNIBODY IS RUSTED OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS PROBABLY TOTALED AND THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE NHTSA. CAUTION: THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE STREET IMMEDIATELY." BOTH THE MECHANIC AND MYSELF FEEL THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEDED TO A TEN YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 86,000 MILES THAT HAS BEEN PRPERLY MAINTAINED. THE MECHANIC ALSO PHOTOGRAPHED THE DAMAGE. YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE COME ON THE FIRST TIME. BEING A CAUTIOUS DRIVER, I PULLED OVER ON A FAIRLY BUSY ROADWAY, AND BEGAN CALLING MY AAA NUMBER TO GETMY CAR TOWED. I DECIDED TO START THE CAR TO SEE IF WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND SLOWLY PROCEEDED FORWARD TO SEE IF THE STEERING RESUMED OPERATING, WHICH IT DID. I DROVE IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND SAID I SHOULD TRY AND ENCOURAGE A RECALL. SO YOU CAN REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN TIME CONSUMING AND HAS HAPPENNED TO ME ABOUT 5 MORE TIMES. MY FRIENDS WILL NOT RIDE IN MY CAR AND I GET PARANOID TO DRIVE IN THE CITY AND IT IS VERY NERVEWRACKING TO THINK YOU MAY NEED TO STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HOPEFULLY NOT GET REARENDED! I FEEL PEOPLE THAT HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE DESERVE SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION . IT IS ALSO EMBARASSING TO HAVE TO BE SEEN IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I CANNNOT AFFORD ANOTHER PRESENTLY AND REFUSE TO BURDEN SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS VERY UNSAFE ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE A CONSCIENCE. I FEEL I SHOULD BE ON A PRIORITY LIST??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION.

I HAVE NOT 1 BUT 2 RECALLS ON MY 2007 AURA SATURN. THE ONE IN CONCERN IS THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE SERVICE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKE THE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AND WHEN I DO NOT APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK DUE TO MY BREAK LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN YELLED AT BY THE DRIVERS WHO HAVE ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THEY THINK MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING - WHICH THEY ARE RIGHT. I HAVE CALLED GM TO NO AVAIL. THEY TELL ME THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PART TO BE MADE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2014 AND IT IS NOW AUGUST 13, 2014 AND STILL THEY CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL EVEN BE AVAILABLE. SO EVERY DAY I PUT MYSELF IN DANGER AND RISK MY LIFE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT GM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED. I WONDER IF IT WERE THEIR CHILD BEHIND THE WHEEL IF THEY WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY??????? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AND WILL PUT MY STORY ON FACEBOOK FOR ALL TO SEE SO THEY ARE AWARE. *TR
