SATURN Complaints

THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO GO INTO PARK WHEN YOU DO THINK YOU HAVE IT IN PARK IT ISN'T ANOTHER GEAR AND AS LURCHED OUT AND ALMOST SMASHED A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED ME WITH THE CAR IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE A TENDENCY TO ROLL BECAUSE IT IS NOT FULLY GOING IN THE PARK AND I CANNOT EVEN START IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PADDOCK CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 3232 DELAWARE AVE, KENMORE, NY 14217, (716) 941-4093) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON;, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER,THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOW MILEAGE FLICKER, POWER STEERING IS OFF, WINDOWS DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK. TAKES 10-15 MINS FOR CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND POWER TO BE RESTORED TO CAR, BEFORE THEN YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT. ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY . CAR BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS, LATE FOR PICKING MY CHILDREN UP AND GETTING THEM FROM SCHOOL, DUE TO WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING DAILY, AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED YET.I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE, BUT I WILL TAKE PIC/VIDEO IF YOU NEED ONE

IN JANUARY 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TO WORK I HAD BEAR TO THE RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION FROM 1-90 TO 1-76, WHEELS/STEERING LOCKED OR SOMETHING AND I ENDED UP SPINNING OFF ROADWAY. HIT DIVISION EMBANKMENT CRASHING FRONT END AND MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. TRACTION IN THE CAR I LATER FOUND OUT WAS NOT ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. NOW CAR'S TRACTION DOES NOT WORK IF IT EVER REALLY DID. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH GM COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT AND NOW I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BUT THIS IS ABOUT RECALLS ON Y VEHICLE THAT I DO NOT KNOW THEY REALLY ARE BECAUSE SATURN WANTS ME TO PAY TO GET THIS INFORMATION. I ASKED WHY BUT DID NOT GET AN ANSWER. ONLY WAS TOLD THAT RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND I NEEDED TO GO TO HTTPS://WWW.VINCHECKPRO.COM/VIN-REGISTER. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS A CONTROL BOARD THAT IS GOING HAYWIRE LITERALLY. GUAGES BLINKING ON AND OFF, SPEEDOMETER ACTING LIKE A WINDSHIELD WIPER, OIL LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AIRBAG SYMBOL, BATTERY SYMBOL, RADIO BLINKING IN AND OUT RANDOMLY. FUEL AND TEMP GUAGES NOT MOVING AT ALL. KEY STICKS AND CAR WON'T TURN COMPLETELY OFF AT TIMES. CHIMES WONT STOP AND MORE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL CAR. I FOUND THAT AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THE STEERING WORKS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME AND IS VERY SCARY. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO STEERING WHEEL GOES BACK AND FORTH WHEN I AM IN PARK AND NOT TOUCHING IT. STEERING FEELS LOOSE.

PURCHASED 2006 SATURN VUE REDLINE V6 3.5 AWD SUV USED ON FEBRUARY 5, 2019. SURPRISED DAYS LATER & SINCE TO SAFETY CONCERN INVOLVING BODY CONTROL MODULE. WITHOUT WARNING, LEADS TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES & LIGHTS, INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTING, DOME, HEAD AND BRAKE LIGHTS. SEEMS TO EFFECT ALL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS UNDER CONTROL OF THIS MODULE, UNCERTAIN OF ALL INVOLVED. ASSUME THIS WOULD INCLUDE AIRBAGS AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING LEADS TO POTENTIAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL COUNTLESS ENCOUNTERS BY OWNERS TO THIS SAME ISSUE. DURING COLD WEATHER ESPECIALLY, INITIAL START UP OF VEHICLE IN MORNING OR AFTER EXTENDED (FEW HOURS) PARKED, LEADS TO LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, 3 MINUTES AFTER START UP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS POSSESSED. ALL LIGHTS, INTERIOR/EXTERIOR FLASH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AFTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BELIEVE CODE IS P0685. SEEMS TO INDICATE PCM. ALSO CAUSES LOSS OF POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE PERSONALLY LOST POWER STEERING AND ELECTRICAL POWER AT 65 MPH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO SPEEDOMETER, NO ANYTHING. NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, NARROWLY AVOIDING HEAD ON COLLISION WITH CEMENT MEDIAN DIVIDER. CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL! CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX FOR OWNERS WITHOUT COST. WHAT WILL THIS TAKE? DEATH OF AN OWNER?

TAKATA RECALL FIRST MY IGNITION STARTED STICKING AND THEN MY BATTERY WOULD NOT START MY CAR NOW MY CAR WONT EVEN TURN ON BECAUSE THE IGNITION IS STUCK ON OFF THE KEY GOES IN BUT WONT MOVE..AND ON MY REMOTE WHEN I UNLOCK MY DOORS MY HOT SEAT BUTTONS FLICKER AND SOMETIMERS MY AIR BAGS SAY THERE NOT ON

TAKATA RECALL WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE WHEEL IS BACK TO NORMAL. NOW WHEN DRIVING THE WHEEL SHAKES AND MAKES NOISE.
