2006 Saturn Vue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM THE CONTACT WHAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS OR IF ANY REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2006 SATURN VUE, OWNED SINCE NEW; STARTED VEHICLE 3 DAYS AGO, ENGINE SOUNDED LOUD. WHEN VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, A BROKEN, RUSTY BOLT/STUD WITH A NUT ON IT WAS FOUND ON THE GARAGE FLOOR WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF RUSTY DEBRIS. I BEGAN INSPECTING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND FOUND THE STUD HAD BROKEN OFF AT A COLLECTION POINT FOR THE TWO-INTO-ONE PIPE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ON-LINE SEARCH REVEALED MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I DO NOT LIVE IN AN AREA WITH ABUNDANT ROAD SALT. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. MY SATURN REPAIR CENTER SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE WIRING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE PROBLEM IS INTERRELATED TO THE PASSENGER HEATING SYSTEM AND THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSING SYSTEM. I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED. I AM FINDING OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED BY OTHERS. SATURN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT CANNOT RECUR IN THE FUTURE AT THEIR EXPENSE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FLAW THAT IS PUTTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AT RISK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY HAVE TAKEN NO ACTION. *TR

CAR IS 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE SHIFTING STICK SHIFT DISENGAGED FROM SHIFT CABLE. UNABLE TO GET CAR BACK IN GEAR. PLASTIC ADJUSTER P/N 15212802 FAILED WHERE IT MOUNTS TO STICK SHIFT. TURNED ON HAZARDS AND ARM WAVING WARNED OTHER DRIVERS OF DIFFICULTY. OTHERS HELPED PUSH CAR OUT OF WAY. DUE TO COMPLETE FAILURE OF PART CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. NO WAY TO PUT CAR IN GEAR. IF HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED RESULTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING. *TR

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SEAT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS THE FIRST THING THAT HAS TO BE FIXED IS THE SEAT HEATER ELEMENT IN PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE IT SETS A CODE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THAT IS A COST OF $300 PLUS AND DOES NOT EVEN FIX ANY POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG. DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG FOR SURE UNTIL SEAT ELEMENT REPAIRED. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAUSES THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT TO COME ON. EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SYSTEM DOESN'T ALWAYS READ THAT THERE IS SOMEONE THERE AND THE SENSOR WILL NOT TURN ON THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN AIRBAG IS OFF, THE IDIOT LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON. WHEN IT DOES READ SOMEONE IS SITTING THERE, THE SENSOR TURNS THE AIRBAG ON AND THE IDIOT LIGHT GOES OUT IN THE DASH. DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. GM DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD PAY TO FIX YOUR MISTAKES? *TR

I PURCHASED MY TIRES ON 3-14-10. THERE IS SUCH EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE THAT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF A TRIP YOU WILL HAVE A SPLITTING HEAD ACHE. MY PURCHASE OF TIRES, ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY HIGH PER AND 3YR WHELEL ALIGNMENT WAS 627.45. I HAVE GONE TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED BALANCED AND ALIGNMENT REGULARLY. IT IS A BIG INCONVEIENCE TO DRIVE MY VUE BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. THIS IS TO MUCH. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UNHAPPY AND DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF TIRES I HAVE MADE LIKE I AM WITH THESE YOKOHAMA TIRES SIZE 225/65R17 102 , 31920. I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT YOKOHAMA TIRES AT THIS POINT. I CAN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION ON THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THAT NEW TIRES WOULDN'T PICK UP PUNCTURES SO EASY EITHER BUT THEY DO. I HATE MY PURCHASE AND I WILL NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY A YOKOHAMA TIRE OF ANY KIND. IT CAN'T BE THAT THE TIRES ARE WORN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WORN. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES YET. I EVEN WENT AS FAR TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY WHEELS. BEARING.. SEALS.. AND ALL AND NOTHING IS WRONG THERE. I HAVE HAD NO SATISFACTION FROM ANYONE ON THESE TIRES. NOW I FOUND THIS SITE. LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE I GET HERE. *TT
