SATURN Complaints

DRIVERS SEAT WON'T STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION WHEN I LEAN BACK WITH SLIGHT PRESSURE, WHETHER I AM IN MOTION OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH. AS A PREVIOUS OWNER OF MANY CARS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. ALSO THE TRUNK LATCH IS NOT OPERABLE USING THE CABLE.

I OWN A 2002 SATURN SL VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 7/2016. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY VEHICLE. BOTH STARTER AND BATTERY HAVE BOTH BEEN CHECKED OUT OK. ALL SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED ON 10/31/18. AFTER THESE REPAIRS, WHEN STARTED IT STILL MADE VERY NOISY SOUNDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO START AT ALL. I TRIED TO GET HELP ABOUT A RECALL RELATING TO MY VEHICLE'S STARTING PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED SATURN COMPANY 1(800)533-6000 AND GM RECALL CENTER 1(866)694-6546. NEITHER WERE WILLING TO HELP. I FOUND INFO ON THE KELLEY BLUE BOOK WEBSITE. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOLLOWING WAS DISPLAYED: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 03V231; REPORT DATE: INFO UNAVAILABLE; VEHICLES AFFECTED: 239,993; CONSEQUENCE: INFO UNAVAILABLE; WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: DEALERS WILL (1) REPLACE THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE, (2) REPLACE THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE AND SPARK PLUGS, OR (3) REPLACE THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE, SPARK PLUGS, AND UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, OWNERS WILL BE ADVISED TO CONTACT THEIR DEALERS FOR APPOINTMENTS TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLE REPAIRED. PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE DURING SEPTEMBER 2003. SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.2L L4 (L61) ENGINES, A FAILURE OF THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE MAY CAUSE DETERIORATION IN IDLE QUALITY, REDUCTION IN OVERALL ENGINE POWER, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE HARD TO START. CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AFTER SUCH AN IGNITION MODULE FAILURE WILL RESULT IN THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT FLASHING, AND MAY LEAD TO SECONDARY FAILURES OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSOR, AND EXHAUST RESONATOR. FAILURE OF THE RESONATOR WILL CAUSE INCREASED EXHAUST NOISE. PROLONGED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING A RESONATOR FAILURE MAY LEAD TO A FIRE. **CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH FINDING OUT IF THIS RECALL EFFECTED MY VEHICLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN AURA. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING AND VARIOUS INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 142,000.

FUEL LEAKING FROM TOP OF FUEL TANK, COMING FROM BROKEN PORT ON THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS DOCUMENTED IN GM RECALL 09226C, BUT BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE ISN'T IN ANY OF THE STATES LISTED I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. HOW CAN A RECALL ONLY COVER VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES.

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF MY SATURN VUE 2006. SINCE I ACQUIRED THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY WHILE THE VEHICLES IS: RUNNING, STATIONARY OR DRIVING, IN-GEAR OR NOT. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF THIS AS A UNIQUE FEATURE (IT'S BEEN SURPRISINGLY HELPFUL!). TODAY I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT A "GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL" (NO, I DON'T LIVE UNDER A ROCK, I JUST MISSED THIS). I ENTERED MY VIN AND IT DIDN'T COME BACK WITH A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH IT, SO THIS MIGHT NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE? I JUST WANT TO BE CERTAIN IN CASE THIS IS A DANGEROUS "FEATURE". THANK YOU FOR CHECKING FOR ME!

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST" RECALL. DROVE IT THERE, BUT HAD TO TOW IT OFF BECAUSE THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, JUST STUCK IN DRIVE. ALSO WONT START NOW I ASSUME BECAUSE IT WONT GO IN PARK. THE LOCK BUTTONS/ WINDOWS DONT WORK EITHER

KEY GE5S STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WON'T COME OUT. IN ADDITION, KEY CAN COME OUT AND THE VEHICLEB WILL STILL BE RUNNING IN THE RUNNING POSITION

THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR AGAIN AND AGAIN CAUSES MAJOR LOSS OF POWER AND SOMETIMES RESULTS IN STALLING OUT IN SECONDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.
