ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTED AT 25K MILES AND CONTINUES THROUGH TODAY MAY 5, 2014 DOORS UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING . BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAGS LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AT WILL.

TAG LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING, AND I HAVE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS I JUST REPLACED THEM SAT MAY 2 AND ONE IS OUT NOW. I HAVE TO REPLACE FUSES EVERY MONTH FOR VARIOUS THINGS REPEATEDLY THE FRONT OR ROOF INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON EVERY MORNING AND THEY ARE NOT IN THE ON POSITION. THE SPEAKERS FADE IN AND OUT I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON WITH THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY PAYING FOR DEALERS TO TRACE THE ELECTRICAL BUT THEY ALWAYS CLAIM THEY CANNOT LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 3 SATURN'S I PURCHASED. UGH! *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP LIKE CAR HAD STALLED MOMENTARILY THEN REGAINED POWER. STARTLED I DECIDED TO EXIT FREEWAY AND WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IT LOCKED SOLID AGAIN AND I HEARD LIKE A ACTUATOR MOTOR MAKE A BUZZING SOUND. THIS MADE ME VERY NERVOUS BECAUSE I LOST POWER TWICE. I CALLED ONSTAR RIGHT AWAY TO REPORT INCIDENT . THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE DRIVEN THOUSANDS OF CARS IN MY LIFETIME AS I WAS A FORMER G.M. DEALER BUT I NEVER HAVE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS . I AM VERY CONCERNED SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED SEVERELY IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN THIS CAR OR OTHERS LIKE IT. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 SATURN VUE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS HAVE ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD, ESPECIALLY THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THIS WARNING LIGHT APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY AND I ALSO LOST THE ILLUMINATION OF MY DASHBOARD ONE EVENING. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, HE BELIEVES THAT AIR BAG LIGHT IS TRIGGERED WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED TO ANOTHER POSITION. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH THE SYSTEM. AS SOMEONE WHO DRIVES PRIMARILY ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TODAY, I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY OTHER 2006 SATURN VUE OWNERS HAVE THIS VERY SAME COMPLAINT! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE? *TR
