2004 SATURN VUE Unknown Or Other Problems

The ignition (key) has stopped working again after being recalled a few years ago, and being replaced. The key will not turn and start the car.

RUSTED FRONT SUBFRAME/ ENGINE CRADLE I CARRIED MY SATURN VUE TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED AND MY MASTER-MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE RUSTED SUBFRAME AND BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION. HE SHOWED IT TO ME AND EXPLAINED THE THE DANGER IN OPERATING THIS VEHICLE.

THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN OCTOBER 20TH, 2014 REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION. WHERE YOU CAN PULL THE KEY OUT WHILE ITS RUNNING. I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A CALL FROM NHTSA REGARDING THE ISSUE. MAY I HAVE IT DONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

TAMARA RECALL I GOT A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR MY 2004 SATURN VUE FOR THE IGNITION I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT IT AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT IT BUT DID NOT TELL ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. AND SAID I HAVE TO TAKE CAR OF IT MYSELF.

I JUST BOUT MY 2004 STAURN VUE FROM A PRIVATE OWNER AND HAVE TO REPLACE MY IGNITION FOR THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THEN A MONTH. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT THE 2004 SATURN VUE HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCATE MY VEHICLE IN THE REGISTRATION OF THE RECALL SYSTEM. MY IGNITION LOCKS TO WHERE I CAN START THE CAR AND KEY GET STUCK.

THE KEY FALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES

THE IGNITION LOCKS AND CAN NOT TURN KEY WITH OUT JERKING AND BEATING THE STERRING WHEEL. YOU CAN'T PUT THE INGITION IN THE OFF POSITION. KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. MY VIN # WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST BUT OTHER SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES WERE IN WITH THIS RECALL. I NEED THIS FIXED PLEASE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS.

"TAKATA RECALL". MY MECHANIC FOUND A FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG WHILE DIAGNOSING A HORN PROBLEM. MY VIN IS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST OR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL LIST. ALSO THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING SECURITY SYSTEM ISSUES AND CAUSING MY HORN RELAY TO STAY PERMANENTLY IN THE ON POSITION WHICH IS DRAINING MY BATTERY TO NOTHING. HOW DO I GET MY VIN ADDED TO THESE LISTS SO THAT THESE PARTS CAN BE REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL?

TAMARA RECALL , THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR WAS ON. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CONFIRMED IT BUT WOULD NOT FIX IT OR SEND US ANYWHERE TO GET IT FIXED. OUR ABS WENT THE 3RD WEEK WE HAD THE CAR, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THE OTHER RECALL MADE OUR TIRES ONLY HOLD AIR FOR A FEW DAYS AT A TIME.

Mileage: 139,300

BEFORE WE PAID OUR 2ND PAYMENT OUR ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE FRONT BREAKS WERE CRUNCHING. IT THEN THREW OUT OUR WHEEL BARRINGS, BALLJOINTS AND ROTORS. THEREFORE IT WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION WHEN IT WAS DUE FOR IT. THE DEALERSHIP DID THE ORIGINAL INSPECTION THERE AND THEY NEVER CHANGED THE BREAKS. WHICH IS AN ILLEGAL PRACTICE. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS WE RARELY DROVE THE CAR. TILL ONE DAY, LESS THAN HAVING IT UNDER 1 YEAR, IT WOULD NO LONGER START.WE LOST OUT OVER$5,000 ON PAYMENTS AND OUR LARGE DOWN PAYMENT TOO. THEY HAVE BEEN CALLING US EVER SINCE WANTING US TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT WON'T START AND WON'T PASS INSPECTION.

I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT THE KEY FROM MY 2004 SATURN VUE WITHOUT THE IGNITION BEING IN THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I CHECKED THE GM WEBSITE WITH THE VIN NUMBER AND IT CAME BACK THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING RECALLED, ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER SATURN VUE VEHICLES THAT ARE UNDER RECALL. THANKS. *TR

I OWN A 2004 SATURN VUE. THE VTI TRANSMISSION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN IT FAILED AT A LITTLE OVER 57,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN AUGUST 2008 WITH ANOTHER VTI TRANSMISSION. THIS MONTH, MARCH 2010, THE 2ND VTI TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED (80,650 MILES/ABOUT 23,000 MILES AFTER THE REPAIR) AND IS NOW NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. GM WILL ONLY COVER 50%, ALTHOUGH A PREVIOUS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REQUIRES THEY PAY MORE. IT WILL NOW COST ME $1638 PLUS TAXES TO REPAIR IT AND PUT IN THE THIRD TRANSMISSION THAT WILL ONLY HOLD A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE ORIGINAL VTI TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH ANOTHER FAULTY ENGINE. IF IT HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE A BETTER TRANSMISSION THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY REPLACING THEM WITH, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND THE CURRENT COST NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED ON ME. GM KNOWS THE VTI TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND ISN'T USING IT ANYMORE, YET IS FAILING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE APPROPRIATELY FOR CURRENT OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF. WITH THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS PROVEN TO HAVE FOR ITS OWNERS, GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION AS IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SINCE IT WILL GO OUT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING (PASSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, TURNING, ETC) IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO INDIVIDUALS WHEN DRIVING IT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE. ON THREE OCCASIONS, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MAKE ENOUGH NOISE FOR THEM TO MAKE AN UNSPECIFIED REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DESPITE THE NOISE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE COMPUTER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE NOISE SOUNDED AS IF A COMPONENT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES DURING THE TEST DRIVE, BUT THEY HEARD THE NOISE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 07/28/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/31/09.*JB
