HELLO, I AM PROUD OWNER OF A 2003 SATURN VUE AND AM THE 2ND ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS PAST SEPTEMBER WHEN I WAS DOING SOME WORK IN THE YARD I HAD MY VUE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.. NEXT THING I KNOW IS THAT IS POPPED OUT OF GEAR(PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAD BROKEN PRIOR TO THIS) AND IT TOOK A "MINOR" SHOT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. SCRATCHING THE FENDER, TURN LIGHTS, AND BUMPER COVER. THE IGNITION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE WEIRD SINCE I PURCHASED IT HOWEVER, IT MAKE MORE SENSE KNOW. UNTIL I GET IT FIXED I ALWAYS KEEP IT IN REVERSE AND NOW HAD THE PARKING BRAKE FIXED. I WOULD ASK GM TO LOOK AT, REPAIR MY IGNITION, AS WELL AS FIXING THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT WAS ONLY GOING A FEW MILES AN HR BUT THIS I ALWAYS TOOK GREAT CARE OF IT AND NOW IT AS THAT BUMP ON THE FRONT. I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT AT THE CLOSEST GM DEALER TO ME (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ALMOST 20MILES AWAY) TO HAVE THAT IGNITION THING FIXED ASAP. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTAND AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH GM IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU. -[XXX] IN PA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER TALKING TO A SATURN CAR CARE SPECIALIST IN JANUARY 2014 BECAUSE OF A LOUD NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN, AND AFTER HAVING BEEN TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM INSPECTED WHICH I DID. WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE LIKE A RUBBER BAND IS BEING STRETCHED TO THE POINT OF BREAKING. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT DEALERSHIP REPORTED ON REPAIR INVOICE: "STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG COIL MAKING A NOISE. THE NOISE IS DUE ONLY TO PLASTIC ITEMS MAKING CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. THIS NOISE IS COMMON IN COLD WEATHER AND IS NOT AN AREA OF CONCERN AT THIS TIME". I LIVE IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE/HIGH HUMIDITY STATE AND THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT - NOT ONLY IN WINTER. AFTER VISITING THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSPECTED, THE NOISE WAS GONE BUT THAT LASTED ONLY FOR A WEEK OR SO AND IT RETURNED AND IT STILL PERSISTS TO THIS DATE. I WAS THEN ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER TO USE A DRY SILICONE SPRAY ON THE STEERING COLUMN/AIR BAG AREA AND THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. OR, I COULD HAVE THE CURRENT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG REPLACED AT MY OWN COST WHICH I OPTED NOT TO DO BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AIR BAG PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. IT ORIGINALLY STARTED WHILE I WAS STILL LIVING IN ANOTHER STATE UNTIL THREE YEARS AGO WHEN I MOVED TO MY CURRENT ADDRESS. MY QUESTION IS THIS: HAVE OTHER OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH AIR BAG PROBLEMS ALSO EXPER

OCCASIONALLY THERE HAS BEEN A LINE OF SMOKE COMING FROM MY STEERING COLUMN WHEN I START THE CAR. NOW MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF UNLESS I REMOVE THE FUSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE AND WILL BE GETTING IT FIXED, HOWEVER I HAVE READ OF OTHER SATURN OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SO I KNOW MINE IS NOT THE ONLY CAR OUT THERE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME GOING 35-45 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD NO POWER. MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO TURN CAR BACK ON, PUT INTO GEAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC AND THE SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY HE DIDN'T KNOW I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ( A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO) AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REBUILT. I PUT ON LESS THEN 20000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID KEY WAS WORN DOWN AND COULD BE REMOVED WHILE NOT IN PARK. SAID A NEW KEY NEEDED TO BE CUT AND THEY CHARGED FOR IT. I TOLD THE MANAGER I NEVER HAD A KEY WEAR DOWN, AND THE KEY WAS ON A RING WITH OTHER KEYS, INCLUDING AN OLDER CAR, AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH KEYS WEARING DOWN. MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO ABOUT IT. SOUNDS RELATED TO THE IGNITION RECALL, SO I'M CONCERNED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF IT, AND STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. IF THAT IS NOT COVERING UP THE IGNITION ISSUE, IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF POOR REPORTING AND TRACKING OF THE ISSUE. *TR

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE IN THE ON POSITION, WHICH CAN CAUSE A LOT OF SERIOUS ISSUES. NOT ONLY THE KEY CAN COME RIGHT OUT, BUT ALSO WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND I GO TO SHUT IT OFF IT WILL GO PAST THE OFF SPOT AND I COME TO FIND A DEAD BATTERY WEEKLY BECAUSE THE IGNITION IS NOT STOPPING THE KEY. THE STEERING FROM THE IGNITION WILL LOCK AND WILL BE DIFFICULT TO UNLOCK. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE JUST CUTS OFF, DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING. IT WILL START BACK UP AUTOMATICALLY BUT YOU LOOSE SPEED .. IT EVEN CUTS OFF WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM STOPLIGHTS AND INTO TRAFFIC, THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE. NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH KEEPS FAILING AND IT IS VERY COSTLY. WHEN I STOP AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF IT WON'T RESTART WITHOUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT ALSO STICKS AND THE KEY IS HARD TO REMOVE. I HAVE THREE TIMES REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THIS COSTLY PROCESS IN NOT HOLDING UP. TO DATE. I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS BUT IT IS A RECALL ISSUE. MANY MECHANICS TELL ME THEY KNOW THIS ISSUE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE ADDRESSED IT. I HOPE THAT I AM NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT CAUSES A DISASTER FOR ME AND OTHERS. *JS

THE SECURITY SYSTEM LOCKED THE STEERING, WHERE YOU COULD NOT DRIVE IT. IT HAPPEN TWICE IN 2 WEEKS AND TOOK FOREVER TO GET OFF. NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU GOING TO MAKE HOME. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONCE. *TR

SOMETIMES IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP AND THEN OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO JUST LET IT SLOWLY ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO THAT I CAN CRANK IT BACK UP! I HAVE MY TWO CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY CAR WITH ME AND IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIXED IT WILL PROBABLY END UP KILLING ALL THREE OF US! OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE SO SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR AND TRANSMISSION STARTED BUCKING AND ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN -- WAS NOT GETTING ANY ACCELERATION AND WOULD NOT GO.

I BELIEVE THE SCOPE OF THE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER,[XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED BUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME WHERE IT HAS BEEN SITTING. I AM RESEARCHING HOW TO GET THE TCM TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE ENGINE COMPUTER. I WROTE TO GM FOR ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE LAWSUIT WITH SATURN VEHICLES AND THEY ARROGANTLY REPLIED BACK "THAT THEY ARE LONGER ADDRESSING ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION ON THIS SUBJECT." HOW ARROGANT! *TR
