AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SAYS NON-FUNCTIONAL ON BOTH SIDES BUT INTERMITTENT. 69 OF 129 PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH 2006 SATURN VUE ARE AIRBAG OR ELECTRICAL AND MANY TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH MAY RELATE TO HEATER IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS PASSENGER SEAT HEATER DOES NOT FUNCTION IN MY VEHICLE. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF BAGS ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL. WHY NO RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY KEY SOMETIMES WON'T GO INTO IGNITON AND ONCE IT DOES, IT SOMETIMES FALLS OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING OR THE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING. IS THIS PROBLEM A PART OF THE GM RECALLS FOR 2003 SATURNS ?? *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME, BUT ARE OFF SOMETIMES. I OBTAINED THE ERROR CODE FROM MY ONSTAR SERVICE, IT IS B0092. A GOOGLE SEARCH RETURNED HUNDREDS OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINS ABOUT GM VEHICLES. I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SAFETY RELATED DESIGN PROBLEM FROM GM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THERE WERE NO INDICATORS. AFTER SAFELY PULLING THE COASTING VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I NOTICED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH KEY IN IT, HAD MOVED TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED BY GM BUT THE 2003 VUE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING APPROX 3 YEARS AND 30K MILES AGO THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TIGHTLY HOLD THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER. APPROX 2 YEARS AGO THE IGNITION KEY WITH CONNECTED KEY RING FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND ONTO THE VEHICLE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND ACT NORMALLY. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF WITHOUT USING THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE COLUMN LOCKED. WE NOW DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY THE IGNITION KEY AND SMALL KEY RING ATTACHED TO MINIMIZE ANY WEIGHT ON THE KEY. ..UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/12/2014 *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD INEXPLICABLY AND WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ,KILLING POWER TO ALL COMPONENTS. SOMETIMES IF YOU STOPPED AND PUT IT INTO PARK IT WOULD RESTART. OTHER TIMES IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE. MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING AND CAUSED ME TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT AND ABSORBING A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS. *TR

MOST TIMES WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE KEY, THE IGNITION GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN. I HAVE TO JIGGLE AND FLIP THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE KEY TO TURN. IT'S BEEN REPLACED ONCE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AT SOME POINT, I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I NEEDED TO USE MY CAR TO DO ROUTINE CHORES, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NEED TO TOW THE CAR IN, PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE. I REFUSE SINCE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. I CALLED A LOCK SMITH WHO INFORMED ME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE WAY THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THESE CARS. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED BY THE LOCK SWITCH. IT GOT STUCK AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND HE REPLACED IT AGAIN, AT MY EXPENSE. IT IS BEGINNING TO STICK AGAIN, WHERE CAN I GO TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT EXPENSE TO ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FIRST NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH AUTOMATIC SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION ON MY WAY TO THE OFFICE. THEN, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK, I REALIZED I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. LIMPED HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A TRUSTED TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO IDENTIFIED 2 ERROR CODES: P0776 PCSB STUCK OFF AND P2715 PCS4 STUCK ON. UNFORTUNATELY THE POWER TRAIN HAD EXPIRED AS OF JUNE 30TH, 2013 - A MERE 8 MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE FACTORY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND ALSO WROTE ON THE INVOICE THAT THE "3/5 R CLUTCH WAVE PLATE POSSIBLY BROKEN." I CONTACTED MULTIPLE DEALERS TO HAVE IT CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINANCING THE REPAIR. I PLEADED MY CASE TO GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT WERE DENIED ANY REAL ASSISTANCE. AFTER READING MANY POSTS OF 2008 VUE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES, WE DECIDED TO OBTAIN ANOTHER NON-GMC VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER BY GMC AGAIN GIVEN THE CALLOUS NATURE WITH WHICH THEY RESPONDED TO MY NEEDS AS A PREVIOUSLY LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR
