2003 SATURN VUE 4WD. KEY NOT TURNING, HARD TO START. HAVE TO KEEP MAKING NEW KEYS TO WORK. CONTACTED SATURN DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ON MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT USED APPROX 2 YEARS AGO FROM CAPITAL FORD AUTO CREDIT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL AND NOTHING WAS DONE, I DON'T THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 AND I NEED A SAFE DEPENDABLE CAR THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. ALONG WITH THE OTHER RECALLS AS WELL. THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ME OFF AND ON, BUT NOW IT WAS EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR. IT TAKES LIKE 10 MINUTES TO START. TODAY I WENT TO MAKE A NEW KEY, BUT TO MAKE A NEW KEY EVERY COUPLE MONTHS AND TO KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HAVING THE RECALL FIXED IT CRAZY. AND NOW THAT I AM CHECKING INTO THIS AND FINDING OUT NOTHING EVER WAS DONE ON ANY RECALL, I WOULD GREAT APPRECIATE IT IF ALL WAS FIXED NOW. THANK YOU. *TR

THE DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT USED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER A WHILE, THE PRIMARY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT NO LONGER WORKS, ALTHOUGH THE HIGH-BEAMS STILL DO. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT I HAVE READ OF IDENTICAL ISSUES WITH OTHER OUTLOOK OWNERS AND THE FAULTY WIRING HARNESS FOR THE HEADLAMPS. *TR

2008 SATURN OUTLOOK. LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. WENT TO HAVE BULB REPLACED, FOUND OUT IT WAS FAULTY WIRING, BULB IS FINE. ONE DAY THE LIGHT IS ON, THE NEXT DAY, THE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON- FOR A FEW YEARS. WHICH, IN TURN, KEEPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER LOOKED AT IT A FEW YEARS AGO, AND SAID ALL THAT COULD BE DONE WOULD BE FIX THE COMPUTER. IT WOULD NEED A REPLACEMENT AND THAT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. IT WOULD COST WELL OVER $500. WONDER IF THERE IS A RECALL OR SOME WAY I WOULD NOT NEED TO PAY. *TR
