2006 Saturn Vue

TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON . THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID MY PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED OR GET THE SENSOR FOR THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY THE DON'T MAKE THE PIECES FOR THE CAR ANYMORE . YOU HAVE TO GO TO A JUNK YARD , BUT EVEN THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ANY OF THE PIECES.

2096 SATURN VUE, WITH FRONT SEAT HEATERS. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT LIT, DIAGNOSTIC CODE BC092. REPLACEMENT PART 15785010 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE PER DEALERSHIP. AFTER RECONNECTING WIRING(LEFT DISCONNECTED BY DEALERSHIP) AND TURNING PASSENGER HEATER SWITCH ON, ERROR CODE COULD BE CLEARED TO TURN OFF WARNING LIGHT. WHILE OFF, PASSENGER DETECTION WORKS OK AND PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ACTIVATED. IT ONLY STAYS FIXED FOR LESS THAN A DAY. HAS LEFT THE ERROR LIGHT LIT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED FOR OVER A YEAR. NOTICE ABOUT 100 OR SO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 2006 SATURN VUE'S HERE; I WONDER IF THE EQUIVALENT CHEVY SUVS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT IN DRIVE WITH BRAKES APPLIED NOT MOVING,1989 CHEVY PICK UP TRUCK ,HIT MY BACK BUMPER,THE LIGHT ON MY DASH INDICATED THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED,AND A LIGHT ON MY DASH SAID PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF,THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER KENDALL OF NAMPA IDAHO,THEY SAID CODE# BOO92 5256 CAME UP AND THEY SAID THE HEATING ELEMENT FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WENT OUT (NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT , AND I NEVER USE THE HEATED SEATS ) THE DEALER SAID THE HEATED SEATS ARE CONNECTED TO MY AIR BAGS AND MY AIR BAGS CAN'T BE TURNED ON UNTIL THE HEAT ELEMENT FOR THE SEAT IS REPAIRED. I THOUGHT THAT A FEDERAL LAW WAS PASSED IN THE EARLY 1990'S THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS TO BE ON IT'S OWN CIRCUIT SO IT CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF BY ANY OTHER CIRCUITS? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2006 BRAND NEW ,AND I FEEL THE CHEVROLET CORPORATION SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. PLEASE RESPOND AS FAST AS YOU CAN BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY ONE CAR, AND THE GUY THAT HIT ME HIS INSURANCE IS LOOKING INTO IT .THANK GOD I WASN'T HURT OR THE GUY THAT HIT ME,THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

ON 1-19-2015 I STARTED MY CAR (AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 2 DAYS/IT WAS VERY COLD) AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD, RADIO, BLINKER SIGNALS, ALL BEGAN FLASHING. IT WOULD STOP FOR A SECOND AND START AGAIN, DURING THIS TIME THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CONK OUT, BUT DIDN'T. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE FLASHING WOULD GO FASTER. ALSO THE SEAT CONTROLS AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS FINE. THAT SAME THING HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 4-5 MORE TIMES, LASTING 5-10 MINUTES EACH TIME. THE CAR HAS ONLY STOPPED RUNNING 1 TIME (LUCKILY IN FRONT OF HOME) AND STARTED FINE THE NEXT DAY. TOOK VIDEO AND WENT TO LOCAL MECHANIC. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR (BOTH FINE-NO $ CHARGE), ALSO CHECKED RECALLS FOR CAR (NOTHING). TOLD ME TO GO TO DEALERSHIP OR ELECTRICAL MECHANIC. THOUGHT PERHAPS THE ALARM SYSTEM, DUE TO FLASHING. AFTER GOING ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT CHEAP TO FIX. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I COULD CAUSE A SEVERE, DEADLY ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, ALSO THE DOORS WOULD BE LOCKED BECAUSE THEY LOSE POWER. *JS

LAST YEAR MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND FINALLY STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT INDICATE IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ( I HAVE HEATED SEATS). THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND I CANNOT AFFORD IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN NECESSARY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF THIS IS CAUSED BY A SHORT SOMEWHERE, MY HEATED SEAT MAY CATCH FIRE. I DO NOT USE THE HEAT FOR THIS REASON. RECENTLY WE ARE EXPERIENCING A KEY IGNITION PROBLEM. MY HUSBANDS KEY, IN PARTICULAR, DOES NOT TURN CORRECTLY. THIS IS OF CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL JUST LOCK UP AND NOT START. I DO NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED ON THE ROAD SOMEWHERE. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MESSAGES FROM MY ONSTAR THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. I HOPE THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND FELT I SHOULD TAKE ACTION. *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

IN MAY 2014, MY 2006 SATURN VUE AWD'S PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED TO INDICATE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT INDICATOR, SIGNALED OFF, AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. EVER SINCE THEN, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS REMAINED IN THE OFF POSITION, EVEN WITH A PASSENGER. *TR
