ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OVER THE YEARS. IT CAN EASILY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. KEY CAN COME OUT OF IGNITION NO MATTER IF THE KEY IS NEW, A COPY, OR SHOWING ANY WEAR. I HAVE NEVER KEPT ANYTHING OTHER THAN ONE HOUSE KEY AND THE MANUFACTURER'S FAB ATTACHED SINCE I FIRST TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID, MY KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT TURN. AT TIMES IT HAS TAKEN ME A FULL HOUR TO GET THE KEY TO TURN AFTER COUNTLESS JIGGLING OF THE KEY AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR PRESSING THE BRAKE. I HAVE TRIED THE SPARE KEY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN A HOT CAR IN FLORIDA, AND I'M PREGNANT. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. *TR

INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE KEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE KEY WAS REPLACED, I REPLACED THE KEY BUT THE DEFECT RECURRED. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS, WHENEVER I GO TO TRY AND START THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THE CAR. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A COMPLETE DEALER SERVICE I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A SENSOR WAS BAD ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THEY DECLINED AND TOLD ME THAT "THINGS SOMETIMES WEAR OUT" I CONTACTED GM REGIONAL THEY DECLINED TO FIX THIS UNDER WARRANTY. SO I RELUCTANTLY PAID FOR THE REPAIR TOTALING $968.52. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WRONG AND A FAILURE OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHEN PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. I HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL FINALLY IT MAKES AN AUDIBLE CLICK AND I AM ABLE TO START THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR BUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE TIME I DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOME TIMES IT ONLY TAKES A FEW TURNS, OTHER TIMES I REPEATEDLY REMOVE THE KEY AND PLACE IT BACK IN THE IGNITION UNTIL IT IS ABLE TO ROTATE AND START THE CAR. *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MECHANIC ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. MY HYBRID SYSTEM IS NOT KICKING IN. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND READ RECALLS ON THIS CAR FOR THIS YEAR WITH THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES DEFECTED. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED. ITS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST NOTICED MY KEY WOULD NOT FIT INTO IGNITION AND AFTER MANY TRIES THE ALARM STARTED BEEPING AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE BIGGEST WORRY HAS BEEN THAT ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, TOOK THE KEY OUT, STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE READY TO WALK AWAY AND REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS PERIODICALLY DON'T COME ON AND THE RADIO, ALTHOUGH I CAN HEAR IT, DOES NOT DISPLAY THE INFORMATION. *TT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON PERIODICALLY, WHETHER SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. AT TIMES IT WOULD GO OFF, BUT FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS IT STAYS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, WE DETECTED A "SHORT" IN THE RADIO SYSTEM, AS AT TIMES YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE STATION, AND I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THE STATION CHANGE WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY SELECTOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETECTED IN OTHER MODELS OF SATURNS, IN PARTICULAR. *JS
