UNKNOWN OR OTHER
(MOTION) (HIGHWAY AT 70MPH) CARS KEY SLIDES OUT OF IGNITION WHEN IN THE ON POSITION. (STATIONARY) (DRIVEWAY) HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING VEHICLE, IE. COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO TURN OVER AS WELL AS KEY STICKING AND BEING DIFFICULT TO MOVE - THIS MADE ME THINK INITIALLY THAT IT WAS ALTENATOR OR BATTERY. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT A BIT, AND A LOT OF WIGGLING OF THE KEY, WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START VEHICLE. THESE ARE THE SAME PROBLEM GM HAD WITH EARLIER MODELS AND HAD TO MAKE A RECALL ON. YET THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THE 2007? WHAT HAPPENED TO SAFETY STANDARDS. I HAVE NOT HAD IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE IN MOTION YET. BUT I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY, AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. SOMETIMES THE KEY WILL TURN, OTHER TIMES IT JAMS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO TURN. MY MECHANIC HAD TWO NEW FACTORY KEYS MADE LAST SUMMER AS HE WAS CERTAIN IT WAS THE KEYS, THOUGH I DID NOT BELIEVE IT AND IT CERTAINLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KEYS. MY MECHANIC IS NOW CHECKING ON GETTING ANOTHER SATURN VUE IGNITION SWITCH (HAS HAS MY VIN). MY MECHANIC HAS SAID (LAST SUMMER AND STILL NOW) THAT HE BELIEVES THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ON SATURN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 07 SATURN VUE. I PURCHASED IT AFTER SEEING A FRIEND WITH ONE AND I LOVED IT. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND IN KANSAS WITH ONE. AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, NEXT DAY I WILL STILL NEED A JUMP. IF I GO INTO THE STORE, I WILL NEED A JUMP. MY FRIEND HERE, HERS DOES IT AS WELL, AND SO DID MY FRIEND IN KANSAS. TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER, THEY GUARANTEED ALL PARTS,,, AFTER SPENDING COUNTLESS FUNDS AND TIMES, I AM STILL HAVING THE ISSUE,,, A DAY AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING BRAND NEW AGAIN. I'VE BEEN STAR FED IN THE RAIN, SNOW, AND ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT WITH MY KIDS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY FRIEND IN KANSAS HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY ALTERNATOR REBUILT,,, AND HASN'T HAD A ISSUE SINCE(2YRS), AFTER DEALING WITH IT FOR 4 MONTHS. I'M OUT OF FUNDS AND PATIENCE SO NOW THE CAR IS JUST SITTING. MY FRIEND HERE,,, AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, FINALLY SOLD HERS TO A SCRAP YARD. I SEARCHED ONLINE(MYSTERY BEHIND DYING BATTERY IN A 07 SATURN VUE) AND TO MY AMAZEMENT,,, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE BATTERY DIES, IT AFFECTS SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL. MY RADIO HAS NOT COME BACK ON SINCE, I REPLACED THE RADIO,,, WITHIN A WEEK THAT RADIO WOULD NOT POWER ON AS WELL. THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL CAR IS ACTUALLY ON BECAUSE NOTHING IN THE CAR WILL POWER ON,,, SEEMS TO MOSTLY DO IT IN COOL WEATHER. NO MATTER WHERE I WENT OR HOW SOON AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING,,, THE BATTERY WOULD DIE,,, I'M ASSUMING IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE ALTERNATOR AT THIS POINT. MY FRIEND REBUILT HIS AND HASN'T HAD ISSUES IN 2YRS, I'VE REPLACED MINE 3 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND I'M STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES. PLEASE SEARCH IT,,, I AM NOT ALONE,,, THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS AND ARE BLOGGING ONLINE ABOUT IT.
