SATURN Complaints

KEY IGNITION - KEY WILL NOT TURN TO "OFF" POSITION, CAR STAYS ON. HAD TO REMOVE FUSE AND DISCONNECT BATTERY IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO TURN OFF AND ALT GO OFF. *TR

THE CAR WILL BE RUNNING JUST FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATES AND WANTS TO GO FAST. I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND IT DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. THEN THE ACCELERATION STOPS BY ITSELF AND THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT IS MISSING A GEAR. IT DOES THIS PROBABLY ABOUT 2 TIMES PER WEEK. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER MOTOR SLOWS DOWN AND MAKES SOME FUNNY GRINDING NOISE. DOES NOT BLOW AS STRONG AS IT USED TO ON MY 2003 SATURN ION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2009 SATURN VUE XR V6 A YEAR AGO. AFTER DRIVING MY SATURN DURING THE 1ST MONTH I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE A/C WAS BLOWING WARM AIR WHEN I WAS NEEDING TO COOL THE INSIDE OF THE CABINET . WE HAD VERY HOT CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN N.C WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING IN ACCESS OF 100 DEGREES. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET THE WINDOWS DOWN TO SURVIVE THE HEAT. I AM ANGRY WITH GM NOW AS THEY ARE APPEARING TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RECALL IN SIGHT TO DATE. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS REPORTED TO HAVE REPAID AT LEAST 30 PERCENT OF TARP MONEY THEY RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNMENT BAILOUT AND REPORTED BILLIONS IN PROFIT. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN VUE. THE FASTEST AND CHEAPEST FROM OF ADVERTISING IN STILL WORD OF MOUTH. I WILL EXPRESS TO MY FRIENDS , FAMILY AND STRANGERS I MEET WITH MY DISPLEASURE WITH THE GM PRODUCT. THE A/ C PROBLEM WITH MY SATURN VUE OCCURS EVERYTIME I TURN ON THE UNIT. A CABIN SENSOR UNIT WAS REPLACE ONCE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I AM NOT HAPPY MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR MY SATURN VUE WITH THIS PROBLEM CONTINUING TO EXIST WITH MY A/C. *TR

MY HEADLIGHT IN MY 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK BURNED OUT. WHEN INQUIRED ON REPLACEMENT, I WAS INFORMED I NEEDED A WHOLD NEW HEADLIGHT HARNESS - TOTAL COST $676 + TAX FOR A HEADLIGHT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATE THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS LEAKING FLUIDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOUND COULD BE HEARD AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

MY KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION IN THE "ON" POSITION THREE TIMES NOW. I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THE PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR THREE TIMES. MY BALL JOINTS HAVE GONE OUT. MECHANICS SAY THIS IS VERY ODD FOR A NEWER VEHICLE (2006 SATURN). *TR

2006 SATURN VUE HAS A/C SYSTEM LEAKS IN THE SAME LOCATION OF COMPRESSOR HOSE AND CAUSES IT TO BREAK. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED LAST WEEKEND AT A PEP BOYS LOCATION. I HAD THE SAME MECHANIC LOOK AT AGAIN TODAY AND HE NOTICED THAT THE NEW HOSE IS BROKEN IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION AS THE PREVIOUS ONE. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING, THE AC STOPS ALTOGETHER. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT. WHEN IT DOES WORK, IT DOES RUN AT FULL CAPACITY AND WILL SOMETIMES EVEN BLOW HOT AIR EVEN THOUGH THE AC IS TURNED ON. IT IS HIT OR MISS WHEN TURNING THE VENT SETTINGS AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS REDIRECT THE AIR FLOW. ALSO, IT IS HIT OR MISS FOR THE AC TO TURN OFF WHEN SWITCHED TO THE OFF POSITION (HOT OR COLD AIR MAY CONTINUE TO BLOW). *TR
