2007 SATURN VUE Electrical System Problems

I was driving and pulled up to get some gas and put my car in park it just stop and turned off and I haven’t been able to get it back on. Went and saw a mechanic and he said it was the timing chain on the car it only had 97,000 miles on it and it would shake while I’m in ideal

I was driving on the highway, on the way to the beach with my family and our pup! We heard a pop and thought maybe it was the tire but the engine began smoking. I pulled the vehicle over as safely as possible. I popped the hood and there was a fire. Everyone evacuated the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible. I was the last to get out of the vehicle. Within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. We stood there and watched the only vehicle we have completely burn up. I cried and I watched my kids cry. What was supposed to be a beach day for us to distress and relax turned into us almost losing our lives on the highway. We are thankful for the state trooper, the fire department, and the paramedics who all arrived on scene and kept my family safe. Im thankful our lives weren’t lost. However we still faced a life or death situation today.

Key is easily removable when in on position. Also difficult to turn from lock position.

AIR BAG INDICATOR COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN READ BY A READER DURING AN INSPECTION SYSTEM DID NOT POST A ERROR ABOUT AIR BAG ISSUE. AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF.

NO MONEY TO BUY NEW KEY...HAD TO RECOVER KEY AND IN ATTEMPTING TO DO SO THE IGNTION CYLINDER WAS GREATLY DAMAGED. NOW CAR STARTS BUT IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF WHILE SECURITY LIGHT STEADY FLASHES. ITS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION...IT WAS CAUSE NOW ITS JUST SITTING THERE NEEDING A WHOLE IGNITION CYLINDER AND SWITCH MAYBE .

DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREEWAY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO GO OUT AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING, THIS IS AN ONGOING AND SPORADIC PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BOTH BATTERY CABLES, I REPLACE THEM BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION, IT FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHEN THE CAR STARTS THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE BRAKES ALSO GRIND AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISES. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MALFUNCTION AND LIGHTS AND SOUNDS FLICKER ON AND OFF. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO BY A MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION AS TO WHY THE ELECTRIC MALFUNCTIONING AND STEERING IS LOCKING UP.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON;, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER,THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOW MILEAGE FLICKER, POWER STEERING IS OFF, WINDOWS DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK. TAKES 10-15 MINS FOR CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND POWER TO BE RESTORED TO CAR, BEFORE THEN YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT. ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY . CAR BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS, LATE FOR PICKING MY CHILDREN UP AND GETTING THEM FROM SCHOOL, DUE TO WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STOP FLICKERING AND MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING DAILY, AND IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FIXED YET.I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE, BUT I WILL TAKE PIC/VIDEO IF YOU NEED ONE

TAKATA RECALL FIRST MY IGNITION STARTED STICKING AND THEN MY BATTERY WOULD NOT START MY CAR NOW MY CAR WONT EVEN TURN ON BECAUSE THE IGNITION IS STUCK ON OFF THE KEY GOES IN BUT WONT MOVE..AND ON MY REMOTE WHEN I UNLOCK MY DOORS MY HOT SEAT BUTTONS FLICKER AND SOMETIMERS MY AIR BAGS SAY THERE NOT ON

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON, OR FLASH PERIODICALLY WHEN ALREADY FASTENED. HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE LEFT SIDE OF STEERING COLUMN 7/27/18. CRUISE GOES IN AND OUT. DIM/BRIGHT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS UP FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE KEY CAN'T BE REMOVED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP OR YOU CAN REMOVE KEY BUT SWITCH IS STILL ENGAGED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION WHEN MOST INCIDENTS OCCURRED AND LOCKUPS OCCUR DEPENDING ON WHAT POSITION THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN (ADJUSTABLE). THE ELECTRICAL FIRE HAPPENED JUST AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY FROM A 30 MINUTE TRIP AFTER RELEASING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 4 BLOCKS FROM HOME. CFD WAS CALLED AND THEY DISMANTLED THE COLUMN, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. I WAS BLESSED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!

I OWN A 07 SATURN VUE. I PURCHASED IT AFTER SEEING A FRIEND WITH ONE AND I LOVED IT. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND IN KANSAS WITH ONE. AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, NEXT DAY I WILL STILL NEED A JUMP. IF I GO INTO THE STORE, I WILL NEED A JUMP. MY FRIEND HERE, HERS DOES IT AS WELL, AND SO DID MY FRIEND IN KANSAS. TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER, THEY GUARANTEED ALL PARTS,,, AFTER SPENDING COUNTLESS FUNDS AND TIMES, I AM STILL HAVING THE ISSUE,,, A DAY AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING BRAND NEW AGAIN. I'VE BEEN STAR FED IN THE RAIN, SNOW, AND ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT WITH MY KIDS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY FRIEND IN KANSAS HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY ALTERNATOR REBUILT,,, AND HASN'T HAD A ISSUE SINCE(2YRS), AFTER DEALING WITH IT FOR 4 MONTHS. I'M OUT OF FUNDS AND PATIENCE SO NOW THE CAR IS JUST SITTING. MY FRIEND HERE,,, AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, FINALLY SOLD HERS TO A SCRAP YARD. I SEARCHED ONLINE(MYSTERY BEHIND DYING BATTERY IN A 07 SATURN VUE) AND TO MY AMAZEMENT,,, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE BATTERY DIES, IT AFFECTS SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL. MY RADIO HAS NOT COME BACK ON SINCE, I REPLACED THE RADIO,,, WITHIN A WEEK THAT RADIO WOULD NOT POWER ON AS WELL. THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL CAR IS ACTUALLY ON BECAUSE NOTHING IN THE CAR WILL POWER ON,,, SEEMS TO MOSTLY DO IT IN COOL WEATHER. NO MATTER WHERE I WENT OR HOW SOON AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING,,, THE BATTERY WOULD DIE,,, I'M ASSUMING IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE ALTERNATOR AT THIS POINT. MY FRIEND REBUILT HIS AND HASN'T HAD ISSUES IN 2YRS, I'VE REPLACED MINE 3 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND I'M STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES. PLEASE SEARCH IT,,, I AM NOT ALONE,,, THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS AND ARE BLOGGING ONLINE ABOUT IT.

THE KEY CAN COME OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAVE A RECALL ON FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VEUS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALSO I HAVE REPORTED IN THE PAST THAT THE IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN BE FATAL IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH HARD WIRED TO A SWITCH ON THE DASH.

Mileage: 89,000

EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY/BEING PARKED, ON 6-10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE KEY HAS GOTTEN LOCKED TIGHT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN AND DIE ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS. ONCE THE KEY WAS FROZEN IN PLACE, AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF, THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION AND THE STEERING WAS LOCKED TIGHT UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL, THE GEAR SHIFT COLUMN WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK. OTHER TIMES THE KEY WOULD JUST BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED, REGARDLESS OF EFFORT TO REMOVE IT, ALSO NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO BE PLACE INTO THE GEAR OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSE US TO ABANDON THE VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE, THIS IS DANGEROUS & SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I SEE OTHER RECALLS ON OTHER SATURN MODELS BUT NOT THE VUE 2007, WHICH DOES HAVE A DEFECT IN THIS AREA AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. FOR THE RECORD THE CAR KEY AND THE REMOTE ARE THE ONLY THINGS ON MY KEY CHAIN, SO THE WEIGHT OF THE KEY CHAIN IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY WHILE IN THE IGNITION PAST THE "ON" POSITION. THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. AFTER JIGGLING THE KEY AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL SEVERAL TIMES, THE KEY WAS ABLE TO COME OUT AND HAD DIFFICULTY BEING REINSERTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR KIA DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

Mileage: 71,000

MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, HAD TO DRILL OUT IGNITION CYLINDER AND REPLACE HOUSING ALSO. HAD TO GET A MECHANIC TO KEY THE CYLINDER AND NOW THE LIGHTS, A/C, AND RADIO DO NOT WORK AFTER ENGINE STARTS UNTIL IT RUNS FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES. THEN EVERYTHING WORKS, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD, UNTIL IT SITS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. STILL DOING THE SAME. HAD IT PARKED FOR ABOT TWO MONTHS AND JUST START IT AND RUN THE ENGINE TO PRESEVE THE BATTERY. USE OTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD.

Mileage: 146,500

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS THERE WAS NO ELECTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING AT THAT POINT. IN ADDITION, THE DIGITAL COMPONENTS ON THE DASHBOARD (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, ETC.) LOST POWER. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 130,158

MY STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN I START MY CAR, THEN AFTER MESSING WITH THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON THE STEERING WHEEL RELEASES. THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH START FLASHING IT GOES ON AND OFF. THE FUSES ARE FINE IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. THERE'S NO PLACE TO PUT POWER STEERING FLUID? HELP.

BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS COMES OFF AND GOES CONTINUOUSLY. I WONDER WHY THERE WAS A NO RECALL AS SO MANY COMPLAINTS WERE PLACED ALREADY

Mileage: 110,000

WE WERE PASSING A TRUCK, THEN THE THROTTLE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN , WE FINALLY GOT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. AND NOW MY ELECTRICAL IS ALL MESSED UP.

WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY I LOST ALL POWER. NO ENGINE, LIGHTS, ETC. ALMOST GOT RUN OVER. OPENED HOOD AND REPLACED THE 30 AMP IGNITION FUSE AND CAR STARTED. TOOK TO GM DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND ORIGINAL FUSE WAS NOT BLOWN EITHER. ALSO HARD TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY AT TIMES. IS THIS A RECALL? IF NOT IT SHOULD BE AS THIS WAS A SERIOUS MISHAP WHERE WE COULD HAVEBEEN KILLED! THE CAR HAS 54K MILES AND THIS WAS ON 12-21-2015 AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 12-22-2015.

Mileage: 54,000

UPON A COLD START, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED ABOUT TEN FEET, FORWARD OR REVERSE, WITH NO INPUT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE IS A WHIR FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AKIN TO A STEPPER MOTOR NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. IN REVERSE, APPLYING THE BRAKES STOPS THE CAR, AND THEN SELECTING DRIVE, THE VEHICLE RESPONDS TO THE ACCELERATOR CORRECTLY. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN FORWARD, BUT IN MOST CASES THE ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL USE. IN REVIEWING THE SHOP MANUALS, THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR, WHICH I ASSUME IS A STEPPER TYPE MOTOR, IN THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THIS IS CONTROLLED BY THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL(TAC) AND THE POWER CONTROL MODULE(PCM). I ASSUME THAT THE MOTOR IS FAILING, BUT HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE OR ENGINE SHUTDOWN MODE EVENT. IF THIS PART IS FAILING IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE EMISSION WARRANTY OF 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS 9 YEARS OLD. I WILL APPROACH MY DEALER AND SATURN ABOUT POSSIBLE COVERAGE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THEM IN THE PAST. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT CAN CATCH A DRIVER UNAWARE AND CREATE A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT SCENARIO.

2007 SATURN VUE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTIONING. THEY SAY THAT THE AIR BAG WON'T WORK IF THE SEAT DOESN'T WORK ...... THEY SAY IT WILL COST ABOUT $900 TO FIX....... THIS WEEK, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT REGISTERING THE KEYS, AND IT IS NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE STARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE ENGINE IS "RUNNING LEAN" I FEEL THAT THE AIR BAG PROBLEM AND THE IGNITION PROBLEM SHOULD BE UNDER RECALLS FOR SURE

BROUGHT MY 2007 SATURN VUE TO REPAIR A POWERFUL GASOLINE SMELL AROUND THE REAR OF CAR, NEAR GAS CAP. SAID IT WOULD COST $332 TO LIFT OUT FUEL TANK TO SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. 4 HOURS LATER, MECHANIC SAID THE TANK WAS DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE BECAUSE THE LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP WERE CRIMPED AND CRACKED SO THERE WAS GASOLINE LEAKING OUT. (WONDER WHY I WAS REFUELING SO OFTEN?) I NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP COSTS $600. I'LL BE SURE TO USE MY 10% OFF COUPON. THE WORST PART WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON TO WARN ME!!!! ALSO WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, 2 NEW LIFT GATES, BRAKES AND NEW TIRES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD ABOUT OIL CHANGES/MAINTENANCE BUT I GUESS NEW CARS ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST 10 YEARS. BUMMER! *TR

ONCE THE KEY IS TURNED AND CAR IS RUNNING, KEY WILL FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION AND ONTO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING!! NOW THE IGNITION DOES NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF AND MUST BE SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED AT THE ACCESSORIES POSITION, WHICH LEAVES LIGHTS ON AND RADIO, AND DOORS BEEPING.

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.

MY 2007 SATURN VUE HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY, IGNITION, STEERING WHEEL AND AIR BAG LIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WON'T TURN OR COME OUT OF THE IGNITION, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN AND OUT OF TOWN. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MANY TIMES THAT AFTER ENTERING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR. WHEN I TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE WARNING SIGNAL GOES OFF AND I HAVE TO PUT THE TIP OF THE KEY IN THE IGNITION JUST ENOUGH TO TRIGGER A PART OF THE SWITCH TO CLICK INTO PROPER PLACE. THESE THINGS ARE NOT NORMAL AND ARE DEFINITELY DEFECTIVE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL JUST COME AN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WORRIES ME THAT THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN I NEED IT OR THEY DEPLOY AS I'M DRIVING-A SERIOUS HAZARD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERY OTHER SATURN HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR DEFECTS OTHER THAN THE VUE FOR THESE VERY SAME ITEMS. DO THEY NOT ALL REQUIRE THE SAME PARTS OF WHICH WE SPEAK OF? THERE ARE ENOUGH VALID COMPLAINTS HERE AND TO COME TO RESPONSIBLY TAKE CARE OF THE MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD WIND NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND I HAD TO STOP MY CAR SIT IN THE SEAT TO RESET IT. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE BUT AFTER LOOKING HERE I SEE ITS NOT JUST ME. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM TOTALLY REPLACED AND MY IGNITION WORKED ON AT THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY ONE TIME AND IT IS NOW ACTING UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND CHOOSE THIS CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS AND GAS MILEAGE AND I HAVE LOVED IT FOR MILEAGE AND BEING ABLE TO PACK A LOT OF LUGGAGE. HE HATES TO TRAVEL IN IT DUE TO THE WIND NOISE.

I HAVE HAD MY SATURN VUE FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS. LAST WINTER I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS OR SO. IT WAS SO BAD TODAY THAT IT TOOK ME A HALF HOUR JUST TO GET THE KEY TURNED SO THE CAR WOULD START! I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED FOR EVERYONE! THIS IS A COST WE CANNOT AFFORD. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE GOOD LUCK WITH IT AS EXPECTED WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE. I HAVE THREE KIDS, AM IN SCHOOL FULL TIME RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO TRY AND START MY CAR FOR A HALF HOUR. WE LIVE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AND OUR WINTERS GET DOWNRIGHT BRUTAL, THERE IS NO WAY TO SIT THERE FOR A HALF HOUR WITHOUT HEAT. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

AFTER GOING TO WALMART RETURNED TO SATURN AND TRIED TO START IT, IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION ABOUT 2 YEARS ; KEY LOCKS INTO SAME, WILL NOT START, KEY FELL OUT ONCE WHILE DRIVING.

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

Mileage: 23,000

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

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

IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OVER THE YEARS. IT CAN EASILY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION.

FIRST NOTICED MY KEY WOULD NOT FIT INTO IGNITION AND AFTER MANY TRIES THE ALARM STARTED BEEPING AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO INSERT THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE BIGGEST WORRY HAS BEEN THAT ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, TOOK THE KEY OUT, STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE READY TO WALK AWAY AND REALIZED THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME INSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNING THE KEY TO TURN ON THE CAR. ONCE I GET THE KEY IN I HAVE TO JIGGLE IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE KEY IS ABLE TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 5-15 MINUTES. HOWEVER LATELY WHEN THE KEY IS FINALLY IN IT GETS STUCK AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO BE RELEASED LEAVING ME STRANDED. I ALSO NOTICED THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND WHILE THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG FAILS TO DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. ANOTHER CONCERN OF MINE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT ACCELERATES ITSELF FOR A MOMENT OR TWO AND IT IS VERY SCARY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I AM SCARED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I DRIVE MY 5 AND 1 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT THIS TIME DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS. MY SATURN VUE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER I REALLY WISH IT WERE BECAUSE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE GM VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE SATURN VUE 2007 IGNITION PROBLEM, AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM, AND ACCELERATING PROBLEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND WITHIN A YEAR MY KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY AT ALL TO EITHER TURN ON OR OFF THE VEHICLE OR TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I BELIEVE I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC FIX IT. THEN THE NEXT TIMES IT STARTED HAPPENING, IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DISABLED AND TAKING THEM OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY USING MY OWN CAR. ON AN EXTREMELY HOT DAY(IN THE 90S) MY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION (ALL I DID WAS PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY TO START THE CAR) AND THE INDIVIDUAL I HAD IN THE CAR REFUSED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR (WHICH POSED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO THAT INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE INSIDE THE CAR AT THAT POINT I AM SURE WAS OVER 100 DEGREES). I FINALLY CONVINCED THE INDIVIDUAL TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR. AFTER I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY CAR I CALLED GM TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE.GM FIXED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY KEY (WHICH I HAD ANOTHER KEY MADE TO HOPE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE) A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE IS I WOULD BE: I PUT THE KEY IN NORMALLY, IT WOULD PARTIALLY TURN, AND THEN STOP AND I CANNOT MOVE THE KEY AT ALL, EVEN TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT TO "UNLOCK" THE IGNITION. THIS WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. SOMETIMES IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE AND GO BACK TO IT, IT WOULD JUST WORK. OTHER TIMES, IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO GET IT TO WORK, IT WOULD NOT.EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVERS COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK. ALSO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY.I HAVE NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE LOOKED AT, BUT WITH THE REPORTS ON THE NEWS I THOUGHT COULD BE AN ISSUE TOO. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN VUE HYBRID BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE, 2010 AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY PACK (THIS WILL BE THE 3RD ONE), THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY PACKS, AND THAT IT WAS "SAFE" TO DRIVE UNTIL THE BATTERIES WERE REPLACED.

I'M FINDING OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT ONCE THE BATTERY PACK GOES, ALL POWER WILL DRAIN AND THE CAR WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION WITHIN 30 MINUTES--THAT INCLUDES BRAKES AND STEERING. I'VE COMPLAINED TO GM WHO NOW HOLDS THE WARRANTIES ON SATURN AND THEY ADVISE ME BIWEEKLY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN BATTERY PACKS WILL BE AVAILABLE. ASIDE FROM SHIRKING ITS WARRANTY OBLIGATION, GM IS CREATING POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS ON THESE HYBRIDS WHEN THE RECALLED BATTERY PACKS FAIL AND POWER IS LOST WHILE THE CAR IS IN OPERATION.

SINCE POSSESSING THE CAR (BOUGHT MAY 2007), I HAVE HAD INCREASING TROUBLE TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION.

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN VUE GREENLINE AND HAVE HAD THE HYBRID BATTERY REPLACED AFTER HAVING THE CAR SHUT OFF AND RESTART AND LOSING ALL HYBRID FUNCTION. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT ALL BATTERY CELLS WERE LEAKING IN MY CAR. NOW THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP DUE TO 3 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN ONE DAY. FIRST TIME I WAS PARKING AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, SECOND TIME AT A STOP LIGHT AND THIRD TIME STOPPING AT TRAIN TRACKS AND THAT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I THEN PARKED MY CAR AND HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE WITH NO REPAIRS DONE. I REFUSED AND THEY STILL HAVE POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT ONE YEAR AND THE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS FIXED 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE SECOND ISSUE STARTED. *TR

I PURCHASED A SATURN VUE HYBRID ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE SUSTAINED APPROXIMATELY 12 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY GOING DEAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS. 2 OF WHICH WERE DIRECTED AT THE BEHEST OF RECALL ISSUES RELATED TO THE BATTERY AND BATTERY HARNESS. BOTH THE BATTERY AND BATTERY HARNESSES WERE REPLACED YET THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. TODAY, I RETRIEVED MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER WHO JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY HARNESS AND THE VEHICLE DIED TWO MILES AFTER PICKING IT UP WHEN THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO POWER APPEARED TO BE DRAINING THE BATTERY. WHILE I RECEIVED QUALITY CARE, THE ITEMS WERE WARRANTED AND I RECEIVED COURTEOUS SERVICE. THE CAR STILL REMAINS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN VUE GREEN LINE. OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL ON STARTING AFTER STOPPING OR COMING TO A NEAR STOP (BRAKING AND THEN ACCELERATING). THE ENGINE STALLS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. CODES WERE RESET AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY GPS UNIT WHICH IS PLUGGED INTO THE INTERIOR OUTLET MAY BE A CAUSE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITHOUT THE GPS BEING PLUGGED IN. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE THEN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT. *TR

2007 SATURN VUE WAS SERVICED BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. DEALER REPLACED AND FIXED SEVERAL PROBLEMS. CONSUMER WAS STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE VEHICLE RAN. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE RADIO WAS REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME, AND THERE WAS EVEN MORE WIND NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH THE NEW RUBBER SEAL.

MY SATURN HYBRID VUE HAS HAD SEVERAL "INCIDENTS" SINCE IT'S PURCHASE. THE FIRST WAS AT AROUND 800 MILES. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE STARTED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ALL ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, IT JERKED SEVERELY AND LUNGED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PEDESTRIAN BEEN IN FRONT OF ME THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO SATURN SERVICE. THERE WERE SEVERAL PROBLEM CODES IN ECM. THEY SAID IT WAS A CHAFFED WIRE THAT NEEDED TO INSULATED. AT AROUND 1,200 MILES THE JERKING HAPPENED AGAIN. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THERE WOULD BE EPISODES OF WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHTS OR TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD STALL BUT THEN IT WOULD DRIVE FAIRLY NORMAL. I CHECKED WITH ONSTAR TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY SAID EVERY THING SEEMED OK. I COMPLAINED TO THE SATURN DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE PERSISTENT BUT INTERMITTENT. I BEGAN TO FEAR DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT. ALL DURING THIS TIME THE MILEAGE WAS VERY LOW (ESPECIALLY FOR A HYBRID). THREE MONTH'S SINCE ITS FIRST FAILURE I TOOK THE SATURN VUE INTO SERVICE WITH ALL THE ENGINES LIGHTS ON -- THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH STARTER GENERATOR, AND THE CHARGING AND AUTOSTOP SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE 12 V AND 36 VOLT BATTERIES. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. NOW IT IS ONE MONTH LATER AND IT IS GOING BACK INTO SERVICE FOR LUNGING FORWARD AT A STOP SIGN, AND FOR ANSWERS ABOUT WHY I GET SUCH LOW MPG (22). *TR

HELLO, I AM WRITING CONCERNING ISSUES WITH MY BRAND NEW SATURN GREEN-LINE HYBRID VUE. I PURCHASED IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FRIGHTENING ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE GREEN-LINE HYBRID VUE- THE FIX DOES NOT WORK. IT HAS PUT OUR FAMILY IN HARM'S WAY. I RECEIVED A VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE TO FIX THE ELECTRIC HARNESS WIRING ON MY HYBRID, TO PREVENT PROBLEMS. WELL, I TOOK IT IN TODAY, AND NOT LESS THAN 1 MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (FIRST TIME EVER). THEN ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATER, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE IN THE CAR... ALL ELECTRONICS FAILED- RADIO LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, ENGINE WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS, LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF, SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK, THEN THEY WERE ALL FLICKERING, THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ONSTAR DIED, RADIO DIED, POWER STEERING DIED! ME AND MY FAMILY WERE IN THE CAR AND ALMOST DIED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION BECAUSE I COULDN'T BARELY STEER THE CAR!! WELL, FROM TAKING MY NEW CAR IN TO PREVENT A PROBLEM, TO THE SATURN TEAM ALMOST KILLING US, I AM FAR FROM HAPPY. PLEASE LET WHOEVER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS, KNOW IMMEDIATELY. IF WE HAD GOTTEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS PLANNED, WE MOST LIKELY WOULDN'T BE TALKING BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

2007 SATURN VUE GREEN LINE (HYBRID) REGARDING NEW (8/24/2007) CAMPAIGN #07195. SATURN OF TEMPE SERVICE ADVISOR JERED SCHAGER DESCRIBED TO ME A LOCAL INCIDENT, LIKELY RELATED TO THIS CAMPAIGN, WHERE THE VEHICLE QUIT RUNNING SUDDENLY DURING A MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN 18-WHEELER CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE FREEWAY. THIS WAS NOT MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS RELATED TO ME WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. MY SYMPTOM OF THE PROBLEM WAS A "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. I WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT IF I HAD NOT TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM SOON, THEN I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED SOMEWHERE (HOPEFULLY NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT IN 130 DEGREE SUNSHINE), OR WORSE YET IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FIX TO MY VEHICLE WAS TO REROUTE SOME JUMPER WIRING AND REPROGRAM THE ECM & TCM.

VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. PURCHASED 5/26/07 - 7/7/07 IN SHOP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. CHK. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, GAUGES ERRATIC, POWER STEERING FAILS, MILEAGE 3,043. PROBLEMS PERSIST, EVENTUALLY ENTIRE MAIN WIRING HARNESS REPLACED (REMOVED SEATS, DASH, ETC. FROM INTERIOR). MORE PROBLEMS EACH TIME, GAUGES STILL ERRATIC, LOW POWER LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COME ON. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, IF POWER LOST AT HIGH SPEED COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT. *TR

OUR NEW 2007 SATURN VUE GREEN LINE HYBRID SUV HAD A CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT AT 2334 MILEAGE. WE LUCKILY WERE IN TOWN AND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS THEN TOED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC OR ON AN INTERSTATE WITH CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. SATURN HAD A TECH DOC#1978388 AND TSB#07-06-03-004 AS NOTED ON OUR SERVICE RECEIPT. IT IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THESE VEHICLES AND DID NOT PERFORM A ENGINE HARNESS JUMPER REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAM BEFORE THE NEW VEHICLE WAS SOLD. I WOULD REFER THE NHTSA TO THE EDMUND TOWNHALL FORUM AT THE WEB ADDRESS BELOW WHICH HAS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WHICH ALSO LIST INCIDENCES OF THE SATURN VUE GREEN LINE STOPPING IN TRAFFIC DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F0D7FDB/ *JB I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
