MOST TIMES WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE KEY, THE IGNITION GETS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN. I HAVE TO JIGGLE AND FLIP THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET THE KEY TO TURN. IT'S BEEN REPLACED ONCE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AT SOME POINT, I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. *TR

THE AIR BAG FAILURE SENSOR LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH - INDICATING AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURE. THE HEATED SEATS NO LONGER FUNCTION. HOWEVER AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE HEATED SEAT SWITCH ON - THE AIR BAG FAILURE SENSOR WILL NOT LIGHT, INDICATING THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. AS SOON AS WE TRY TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE HEATED SEAT SWITCH ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON INDICATING SYSTEM FAILURE. MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT WE NEED NEW HEATED SEATS AT A COST OF OVER $1500. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES CURRENTLY ON IT. REPORTED TO GM 12/2/2013 WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THE PROBLEM YET WE SEE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME BIZARRE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

THIS TIME AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED AGAIN, WITH NO FOUNDED REASON FOR THE THROTTLE STICKING (AT MILEAGE 130000 AT THE SHOP, THE THROTTLE STUCK ON HUBBY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ONLY 40 MPH ON THE SNOW COVERED ROADS. THROTTLE STUCK AND WENT TO OVER 60MPH, AT THAT POINT HE WAS NO LONGER CONCERNED ABOUT THE TACHOMETER NOR SPEED. THE CAR STOPPED ONLY AFTER HITTING THE GUARDRAILS. POLICE, MEDICS AND TOW TRUCK ON SCENE, FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TORN OFF TO THE GROUND, UNSURE OF WHAT ALL DAMAGE IS DONE AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER! NOW THIS IS TRULY A MAJOR INCIDENT AND WE SHALL SEE HOW MY INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO HANDLE THE ISSUE. I WILL NOT BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SATURN, THAT IS FOR CERTAIN. *TR
