IGNITION KEY SLIPS OUT OF IGNITION IN ALL POSITIONS. DATE AND MILEAGE OF START ARE APPROXIMATE. ADDITIONALLY, IGNITION HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH KEY, MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO START. *TR

STEERING
I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT (TURNING RIGHT) ONTO STREET. THE POWER STEERING FAILED CAUSING ME TO SWING WIDE INTO MIDDLE LANE INSTEAD OF NEAREST LANE TO CURB. CAR TRAVELING IN MIDDLE LANE HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE POWER STEERING IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY ON THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY IN LOW SPEED SITUATIONS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
1) LIKE OTHERS, I ALSO HAVE HAD OCCASIONAL, BUT FRUSTRATING, PROBLEMS GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. 2) I RETURNED MY SATURN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR A LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHICH WAS TREATED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS A SEATBELT ISSUE. STILL COMING ON (AND THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT)! BUT I THINK THEY WERE WRONG AND THAT THE LIGHT COMING ON IS REALLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT. AGAIN, DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY, BUT ENOUGH THAT IF IT IS TRULY THE AIRBAG AND I'M IN AN ACCIDENT, I'M OUT OF LUCK. SOMETIMES IF I WAIT UNTIL THE BEEPING STOPS WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, BEFORE I PUT ON MY SEATBELT, IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T GO ON AS MUCH. *JS

HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION ABOUT 2 YEARS ; KEY LOCKS INTO SAME, WILL NOT START, KEY FELL OUT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO DEALER TO GET IGNITION REPLACED JUST TO GET CAR STARTED. SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *JS

AIR BAGS
THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER ON 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER WAS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH (125 POUNDS). FINALLY THIS AUTO WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER ON 5/28/14 AND THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED. THE TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME WAS $751.00. I WAS UPSET WITH GENERAL MOTORS FOR NOT RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AND DECIDED NEVER AGAIN TO PURCHASE A GENERAL MOTORS AUTO. THIS CAR WAS TRADED IN ON ANOTHER BRAND OF AUTO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY SATURN VUE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE IGNITION LOCK SYSTEM WHICH COST ME A FEE OF $141.12 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT THE A-ABRA-CADABRA LOCK SERVICE IN AKRON, OHIO. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I INSERTED THE IGNITION KEY, SOMETIMES THE MOTOR WOULD START, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T. OFTENTIMES, I HAD TO SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE IGNITION TO WORK. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE IGNITION KEY WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT OF ITS SLOT. BECAUSE OF THESE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS, I FEARED AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER OF THE LOCK SERVICE SHOP, AT THAT TIME HIS INSTALLATION AT 09/27/10, THE REPLACEMENT MECHANISM WOULD EVENTUALLY GIVE ME THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND FAIL ONCE AGAIN. HE SAID IT WAS THE ONLY IGNITION SWITCH AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND ONLY ONE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIER PRODUCED THE PART. HE SAID ALL OF THEM WERE DEFECTIVE. GM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART FOR THE SATURN VUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT IN THE IGNITION FAILURE. THIS SAME IGNITION SWITCH HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED IN THE SATURN ION AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. WHY NOT THE SATURN VUE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. CAN TAKE NUMEROUS TRIES AND SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE KEY FINALLY TURNS. NOT SURE WHAT MAKES THE KEY TURN -- HAD IT WORK AFTER BUCKLING THE SEAT BELT, SHIFTING THE STEERING WHEEL, OR TAKING THE KEY OUT AND TRYING AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORSENING IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, BUT HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES AND STEP ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL AND START THE CAR. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS REGULARLY SINCE WINTER. I DON'T HAVE ANY BIG KEY RINGS, ETC., SO THAT SHOULDN'T BE WHY IT'S DOING THAT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING THERE. IN ADDITION, A FEW TIMES MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS MODEL YEAR SATURN VUE ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF AN IDENTICAL NATURE. PLEASE RECALL THIS YEAR AS WELL AND GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING OFTEN ON. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE HORN STARTED BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING CONTINUOUSLY. IT REQUIRED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO MAKE IT ALL STOP. THE AIRBAGS AND HORN HAD TO BE DISABLED IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, STEERING
THE IGNITION WILL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE YOU ARE TURNING THE KEY TRYING TO GET TO START. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (USUALLY IN 4TH GEAR) THE GAS PEDDLE WILL STOP WORKING, YOU CAN PUT IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND GET NOTHING. I USUALLY CAN PUSH THE CLUTCH IN AND MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL COME ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
LIKE OTHER CARS IN THE IGNITION RECALL, WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON THE CAR THE WHEEL IS LOCKED, I NEED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I PRESS ON THE GAS. I CAN ALSO TAKE THE KEY OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. GM WILL NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE RECALL AND MY MILEAGE IS OVER 100K. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS TURNING ON WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE KEY HAS HAD MANY INSTANCES OF TROUBLE INSERTING OR REMOVING FROM THE IGNITION. THE KEY CAN ALSO BE REMOVED WHILE IN ANY OF THE POSITIONS. AT TIMES THE KEY ALSO HAS TROUBLE TURNING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS. SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY SIMILAR MODEL YEAR SATURN VEHICLES ARE HAVING. I VENTURE THE PROBLEM IS IMPACTING MORE VEHICLES THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE LONGER IT CAN PUSH OF THE REPAIR THE LESS COSTLY IT IS TO THE COMPANY. *TR
