2006 Saturn Vue

I HAVE AN ION AND A VUE. MY ION IS IN FOR THE RECALL AND I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE SAME PART REPLACED ON THE VUE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO EVEN TURN THE KEY IT JUST COMPLETELY LOCKED UP ON ME. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED BEFORE I EVEN STARTED GOING ANYWHERE AS I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. SO I WENT AND GOT THE NEW IGNITION, PAID FOR THE LOCKSMITH TO MATCH IT TOO MY KEY AND NOW IT IS RUNNING AGAIN. I THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK CLOSER AT THE OTHER VEHICLES ALSO AS WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY VIEW WAS IDENTICAL TO WHAT THE ION WAS DOING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SATURN VUE AND I HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. WHEN I HAD A CAR WRECK EITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON. I HAD TO PAY 596.00 TO REPLACE MY KEY IGNITION AND SOMETIMES IT STILL STICKS. MY DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE REAR HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. I SEE THAT THEY ARE RECALLING OTHER SATURNS BUT NOT MINES. *TR

ON 5/26/14 THAT MORNING MY CAR WOULDN'T START SO I GOT JUMP START. LATE THAT AFTERNOON AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START, BUT BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY, SO I GOT A NEW ONE. DRIVING HOME THAT EVENING, WITH KIDS IN CAR, GOING THROUGH INTERSECTION CAR LOSES POWER! LUCKILY WE WERE NOT HIT. I MANAGED TO START CAR REPEATEDLY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON 5/27/14 CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS THERE TILL 5/29/14 AND I WAS TOLD IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND NEED TO PAY $295.00 SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I WAS ONE LIGHT FROM ENTERING THE FWY HOME. I HATE TO THINK WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. PLEASE LOOK INTO A RECALL. *TR

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. ALL PANEL LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. I HAVE REPLACED PARKING, BACKUP AND HEAD LIGHTS 4 TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. 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

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
