ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS THAT WOULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY, THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE IGNITION SWITCH REFUSING TO TURN OR ENGAGE TO START THE ENGINE. I CHECKED RECALL NOTICES AND NOTICED THAT OTHER YEARS, LIKE THE 2004, HAD RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES TO HAVE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I MISSED A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAD TO PAY $332.30 (INCLUDING LABOR) IN JULY, 2016 TO HAVE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED, INCLUDING HAVING THE LOCK CYLINDER REKEYED TO MY ORIGINAL KEYS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAD JUST HAD ANOTHER PERSON IN THE PREVIOUS WEEK WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO ELECTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING AT THAT POINT. IN ADDITION, THE DIGITAL COMPONENTS ON THE DASHBOARD (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, ETC.) LOST POWER. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. *TR

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
TAMARA ( UNKNOWN TO CONSUMER ), I WROTE MANY TIMES ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM ANYONE. PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEATBELT ALERT LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE VERY EARLY IN DISTRIBUTION OF THIS VEHICLE AS IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF LEAVING SATURN DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2006. I CAN ONLY SAY GOD HELP GM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO A PASSENGER OF MINE DUE TO THIS ISSUE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS MADE BY MYSELF AND OTHERS AND IT KEEPS ON GOING IGNORED.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN GETTING A "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS EXTREMELY HOT OVER 100 DEGREES. ON COOLER DAYS, I DO NOT GET THE INDICATOR LIGHT. WHEN IT IS HOT, THE LIGHT COMES ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN I START MY CAR. IF I DRIVE A DISTANCE WITH THE AIR ON, IT GOES OFF. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER A MONTH AGO. I WENT TO A DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $105 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY SAID SOMETHING NEEDS REPLACING AND WILL COST ME $495. I HEARD FROM A FAMILY MEMBER WHO WORKED FOR GM THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IS THIS TRUE?

STEERING
INNER, OTTER RODS AND HUB BEARINGS WERE REPLACED IN JULY BY GM OF ENGLEWOOD, NJ. AFTER TWO DAYS I HEARD A METAL RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO GM THEY CHECKED IT AND MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A STEERING COLUMN AND QUOTED A $3100.00 FOR REPAIR COST WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. FOR A SECOND OPINION; I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. AS WELL AS A PRINT OUT FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VUE MODELS RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED SATURN HEADQUARTERS, THEY CHECKED MY VIN FOR RECALLS AND CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THIS RECALL BY THE VIN NUMBER. CAN YOU HELP?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I JUST BROUGHT A 2004 SATURN VUE, AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET TO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, AND IF I AM DRIVING 30 MPH OR LOWER IT SHAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT ALSO MAKES A ROUGH GRINDING, AND GROWLING SOUND. IT DOES ALL OF THE ABOVE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. IT IS ALSO HARD AT TIMES FOR ME TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR , AND THE KEY CAN COME OUT AT ANY TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, WHEEL HUB, AND BEARING TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY WIRING MELTED, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DEALERS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.
