AIR BAGS, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WHEN MY GAS GOES DOWN BELOW A HALF TANK. STEERING BECOMES A BIT MORE STIFF WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. IT DOES EVENTUALLY GO OUT. WHEN I AM IN AND OUT OF THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY THE LIGHT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON. MY BRAKES ACT STRANGELY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES DONE SO I KNOW THEY ARE OKAY. IT WORRIES ME THAT THE AIRBAG JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING TO COLLEGE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THE AUTO-STOP FEATURE KICKED IN BUT ONCE I STARTED GOING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING HORRIBLY AND THE LIGHTS DIMMING. THE AIRBAG, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS DASH LIGHTS ALL STARTED TURNING ON AND THEN OFF ALSO. SO I NOW HAVE BOTH CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS STAYING ON. I WENT TO MY FATHERS HOUSE TO USE HIS CODE READER SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED AND I HAVE THE FOLLOWING CODES: POABB, POAFB, P1A47, P1174, AND THREE POA37. THESE CODES ARE ALL SAYING THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS OVER VOLTAGE AND THE DIAGNOSTIC FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HYBRID SYSTEM/POWER INVERTER. I'M GOING TO THE CERTIFIED SATURN DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING TO HAVE IT THOROUGHLY LOOKED AT. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THE HYBRID LINE BATTERY SYSTEMS FOR FAULTINESS AND NEEDS TO FIX THEM! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2008 SATURN VUE HYBRID STARTED HAVING HUGE PROBLEMS. FIRST THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR THEN THE STABILITITRAK AND SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM; LOSS POWER WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY 2008 SATURN VUE HYBRID WOULD POWER DOWN TO 50% BEFORE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS THEN SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. IT DID THIS OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A FEW WEEKS. SOMETIMES VEHICLE REFUSED TO START AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN KEY IT SEEMED LIKE WAS STUCK INSIDE MAKING IT HARD TO TURN OR REMOVE IT. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BATTERY AND EVEN HYBRID BATTERY AND IT WAS FINE FOR SOME TIME. HOWEVER TODAY 10/14/14 IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY (BUSY HIGHWAY) IN NEW YORK CITY THE AUTOMOBILE STARTED TO STALL AT 45 MPH AND THE STABILITITRAK AND SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM, LOSS POWER WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN SUDDENLY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO MANEUVER WHILE I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OVER TO CURBSIDE. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED AT THE CROSSROADS? I WAS HAVING MY WIFE AND (XXX) YEARS OLD CHILD IN THE CAR TRAVELING WITH ME. THEY STARTED TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE IT SEEMED WE ARE GOING TO CRASH AND DIE. I CALLED TOWING COMPANY TO TOW US TO SAFETY. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE. PLEASE HELP AND ASSIST TO PUSH GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO AVOID MORE SERIOUS CASUALTIES. *TRPARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND HARD TO TURN INTO THE ON POSITION TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE ORIGINAL KEY AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A METAL PIECE AND SPRING FRACTURED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A CLICKING SOUND UPON STARTING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY A REPAIR SHOP AND LATER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND THE IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND FIND WHERE THE SPRING CAME FROM, THE IGNITION CYLINDER WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT TIGHTLY CONNECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL JUST COME ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WORRIES ME THAT THEY MIGHT NOT DEPLOY WHEN I NEED IT OR THEY DEPLOY AS I'M DRIVING-A SERIOUS HAZARD. 09/09/2014 ONSTAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS ADVISED ME ABOUT A DIAGNOSTIC ALERT REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND TO CALL MY DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD DO A DIAGNOSTICS TEST TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM BUT WOULD COST ME OVER $100.00. I THEN CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD PRETTY MUCH THE SAME BUT WAS GIVEN SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER AND I WOULD GET A CALL WITH IN 48 HOURS. I DID GET THE RETURN CALL AND SAME RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE TESTED FOR FREE TO BE SURE THIS WILL NOT BECOME A RECALLED ITEM AFTER DRIVERS BECOME CRITICALLY HURT OR KILLER DUE TO BAD PARTS!!! LAW REQUIRES SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS FOR OUR SAFETY AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED, CAR STARTED VIBRATING SO VIOLENTLY, I WAS AFRAID THAT A WHEEL WAS COMING OFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, THEN RESTARTED IT. IT WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS DRIVEN ALL DAY WITH NO ISSUES, EXCEPT THAT MY DIRECTIONALS KEPT GOING OFF AND WOULD NOT WORK, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULD START WORKING, ESPECIALLY IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP. THAT AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, THE VIBRATING STARTED AGAIN. I DROVE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO A MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. HE SAID THAT HE PUNCHED MY VEHICLES INFORMATION INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, AND FOUND THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION. HE TESTED THIS ON MY VEHICLE, AND FOUND THAT YOU COULD INDEED PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN GEAR. HE CALLED ME AND TOLD THIS TO ME. I INFORMED HIM THAT A FEW TIMES MY KEYS HAD FALLEN OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, OR ON THE STREETS, WHEREVER. IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY. I HADN'T REALIZED THIS WAS NOT INTENTIONAL. HE THEN INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR WERE ON THE RECALL, AND THE FACT THAT MY CAR INDEED POSSESSED THE FAULTY IGNITION, THAT MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED AS BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HE SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR IN THE PAST, HERB CHAMBERS OF WARWICK. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE ABOVE TO BE TRUE, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUBMIT FOR PAYMENT, THEREFORE I WILL HAVE TO PAY AND IF THE VEHICLE ENDS UP INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IN THE FUTURE, I CAN SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. NO ON COULD EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE, BEING OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, AND WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME IGNITION ISSUES, WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 SATURN VUE WITH IGNITION AND AIRBAG SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) ISSUES. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AT THE GM RECALL WEBSITE, CALLED MY DEALER TWICE AND FILED A CLAIM AT THE GM RECALL HOTLINE. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF OR SLOW RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY OUR MODEL YEAR WAS LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL CYCLE. MY SITUATION: MY IGNITION BECAME INCREASING TIGHT/STIFF/LOCKED TO WHERE I COULD NOT TURN MY KEY OR PULL IT OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO SHAKE THE CAR OR KEY TO GET IT TO TURN ON. MY KEY CAN SLIDE RIGHT OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING, (BUT SOMETIMES I CAN'T PULL IT OUT). I HAVE ALSO RETURNED TO MY CAR AND FOUND IT RUNNING TWICE NOW AND NOTICED IT WAS NOT TOTALLY IN THE OFF POSITION ANYMORE). AT THE SAME TIME MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BECAME INTERMITTENT AND FINALLY STAYED ON. OUR MECHANIC NOTIFIED US THAT THE AIRBAG SENSING AND DIAGNOTIC MODULE (SDM) IS NO LONGER WORKING. A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALERS SAY THAT PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR MY MODEL AND MY MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND THEM EITHER. THE COST IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH! I HAVE NOW BEEN ON A MISSION TO PUT IN COMPLAINTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE DIVISIONS IN AN EFFORT TO SEE THIS SITUATION RESOLVED. (NOTE THIS WEBSITE LIST SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE AND OTHERS. THERE IS SOMETHING LINKING THE IGNITION AND THE AIRBAGS: (HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2006/SATURN/VUE/AIR_BAGS/PROBLEM.ASPX)) THE 2006 MODEL MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INCIDENCES. COME ON GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. HELP US LIFE LONG LOYAL BUYERS OUT. LOYAL (BUT DISAPPOINTED) GM CUSTOMER WHITE KNUCKLING IT EVERYDAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 60 MPH AND NOTICED THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN THERE WAS SMOKE. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE SMOKE WENT AWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND WE COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE SMELL OR SMOKE. I HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION, TIRES
PURCHASED IN 2011 FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN LOUISVILLE. IT HAD THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT ON. THEY SENT IT TO THE SHOP AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION OVER AND OVER. THEN OTHER LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON ALONG WITH THE SLUGGISH FEELING AND AN ANNOYING RATTLING, ROLLING SOUND. DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS FROM SPARK PLUGS???? I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY WANTED 100.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC 500 FOR SPARK PLUGS. I DECLINED. THE ROTOR AND STRUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE CAR WOULD OFTEN TIMES BE RUNNING WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, GAS GONE, NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS AND BAD FOR THE CAR. TRANSMISSION FAILURE STARTS AND CONTINUES. HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN DECEMBER 2013. AIRBAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. DEALERSHIP RECEIVED OVER $5000. AFTER A MONTH THEY SAY IT'S FINISHED BRING ME THE CAR. I GET HOME AND THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE ROCKING AND ROLLING SOUND IN THE STRUTS IS WORSE. THEY SAID THAT IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT FROM THE ACCIDENT. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO FIX IGNITION. THIS VEHICLE IS A FAILURE! NO WONDER SATURN IS OUT OF BUSINESS. AS FOR THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THE GM DEALER UNDER PROGRESSIVE INS. THIEVES! I TOOK PICTURES OF MY FILE AND HAVE WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DID FOR THE 5000. HOW MUCH THEY PAID FOR THE PARTS. I ALMOST THREW UP. IT WAS 300% MARK UP ON SOME THINGS. OTHERS WERE CHARGED FOR AND NOT REPLACED. AFTER THIS I LOST ALL FAITH IN TRUSTING DEALERSHIPS ETC. I STILL OWE ON THE CAR. I WILL CONTINUE TO EDUCATE MYSELF ON THE THIEVERY THAT GOES ON IN THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY. I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT KARMA WILL CATCH UP WITH THEM. DON'T BOTHER CONTACTING GM. THEY WILL ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND NEVER GET BACK WITH YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE KEY WILL FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER I AM STOPPED AND PARKED, THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER SEIZES UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE KEY UNTIL AFTER I HAVE ALMOST EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS TO GET IT OUT, IE. SHAKING KEYS, BANGING ON IGNITION HOUSING, AND FINALLY HAVING TO USE FORCE AND ALMOST BREAKING THE KEY OFF IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK. AFTER LEAVING IT PARKED OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY TRYING TO START MY CAR, THE KEY IS HARD TO GET INTO THE CYLINDER AND HARD TO TURN IT TO THE RUN POSITION, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT AT ANYTIME IT'S IN THE RUN POSITION. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK ISSUE THE SAME AS I AM HAVING, AND BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 SATURN VUE'S MANUFACTURED BY GENERAL MOTORS. PLEASE ADVISE AS THIS IS ONE HECK OF A COSTLY REPAIR OF OVER 300 US DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SYSTEM. IF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND CHECK WITH GM DEALERS ON THE NUMBERS OF VEHICLES THEY HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK ON THE SATURN VUE'S I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND A HUGE PATTERN DEFECTIVENESS . MY NEIGHBOR IS A MECHANIC AND SHE SAYS SHE'S DONE TONS OF THEM OVER THE YEARS ON THIS VEHICLE IN THE AFTERMARKET FIELD OF MECHANIC WORK. SHE'S THE ONE THAT SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOUR ORGANIZATION WITH THE PROBLEM. SHE HAS DONE RESEARCH OF INTERNET FORUMS AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ALSO ON WEBSITES THAT LINK UP TO YOUR ORGANIZATION. *TR

I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON MY 2004 SATURN VUE WAS AT AN ANGLE. I WENT AND LOOKED AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BAD BUSHING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS ALL BROKEN. AS I GOT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING UNLESS YOU COMPLAINED AND BROUGHT IN IN TO THE DEALER. WELL SATURN IS NO LONGER AND I'M STUCK WITH FIXING THIS PART AND GM WILL DO NOTHING. I COULD HAVE LOST MY WIFE AND ALL MY FAMILY. THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. *TR
