SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN THE CAR STARTS THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE BRAKES ALSO GRIND AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISES. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MALFUNCTION AND LIGHTS AND SOUNDS FLICKER ON AND OFF. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO BY A MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION AS TO WHY THE ELECTRIC MALFUNCTIONING AND STEERING IS LOCKING UP.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON, OR FLASH PERIODICALLY WHEN ALREADY FASTENED. HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE LEFT SIDE OF STEERING COLUMN 7/27/18. CRUISE GOES IN AND OUT. DIM/BRIGHT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE KEY CAN'T BE REMOVED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP OR YOU CAN REMOVE KEY BUT SWITCH IS STILL ENGAGED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION WHEN MOST INCIDENTS OCCURRED AND LOCKUPS OCCUR DEPENDING ON WHAT POSITION THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN (ADJUSTABLE). THE ELECTRICAL FIRE HAPPENED JUST AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY FROM A 30 MINUTE TRIP AFTER RELEASING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 4 BLOCKS FROM HOME. CFD WAS CALLED AND THEY DISMANTLED THE COLUMN, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. I WAS BLESSED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!

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
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE KEY CAN COME OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAVE A RECALL ON FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VEUS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST THAT THE IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN BE FATAL IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH HARD WIRED TO A SWITCH ON THE DASH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY/BEING PARKED, ON 6-10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE KEY HAS GOTTEN LOCKED TIGHT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN AND DIE ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS. ONCE THE KEY WAS FROZEN IN PLACE, AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF, THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION AND THE STEERING WAS LOCKED TIGHT UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL, THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK. OTHER TIMES THE KEY WOULD JUST BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED, REGARDLESS OF EFFORT TO REMOVE IT, ALSO NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE PLACE INTO THE GEAR OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSE US TO ABANDON THE VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE, THIS IS DANGEROUS & SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I SEE OTHER RECALLS ON OTHER SATURN MODELS BUT NOT THE VUE 2007, WHICH DOES HAVE A DEFECT IN THIS AREA AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. FOR THE RECORD THE CAR KEY AND THE REMOTE ARE THE ONLY THINGS ON MY KEY CHAIN, SO THE WEIGHT OF THE KEY CHAIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS.
