CAR WOULD NOT START, WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WILL NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS YOU CAN FINALLY GET IT TO CONNECT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND NEVER HAPPENS WHEN THE GARAGE HAS THE VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME WAS ON SATURDAY 5/18/2014 THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO START WAS TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE STEERING COLUMN, THEN WHEN IT WOULD GO BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT FIVE TIMES TRYING IT THIS WAY I LEFT THE WHEELS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AND MADE A U TURN AND KEEP GOING TO HOME. I AM AFRAID TO TRY THIS CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL CUT OUT AND SOMEONE WILL RUN INTO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 SATURN VUE XE WITH ONLY 40,515 MILES AND THE WIRING IN THE HEADLINER ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER SIDE VISOR CAUGHT ON FIRE! THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. A BURNED AREA ABOUT A FOOT AROUND IS NOW IN THE HEADLINER. IT BLACKENED THE WHITE PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE ROOF. THE MELTING WIRING INSULATION IN THE HEADLINER DRIPPED AND BURNED A HOLE IN THE DRIVER LEATHER SEAT. WHAT A STINKY MESS! THANK GOD IT WAS PUT OUT QUICK ENOUGH AND DIDN'T CATCH THE WHOLE VEHICLE ON FIRE! OBVIOUSLY THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED PROBLEM BASED ON MY GOOGLE SEARCH. I'VE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAID NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I SUSPECT GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AS OF THE BEGINNING OF LAST YR. MY SATURN HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE WITH THE KEY NOT COMING OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I HAVE TRY A NUMBER OF THINGS. EX; TURN ENGINE BACK ON & TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT & THEN TO THE RIGHT. ALSO I'LL SHIFT THE TRANS FROM P TO D & BACK. IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE LOCK OR WHAT EVER CONTROLS THE TRANS. THAT SENDS A SIGNAL WHEN IGNITION IS OFF SO YOU CAN TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION TO RELEASE THE KEY . MY 1ST YR I HAD NO PROBLEMS. OTHER THAN THIS KEY SITUATION I HAVE HAD A GOOD RIDE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR ...UPDATED 07-24-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AS OF 07/12/13 THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT THE KEY SITUATION. AT THE PRESENT TIME, THERE WERE NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH REMOVING THE KEY.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH PARTS OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. THIS INCLUDED THE SPEEDOMETER, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. DRIVER PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE DID NOT CORRECT THE CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY A MILE TO HOME AND SHUT OFF. STARTING THE VEHICLE LATER RESULTED IN THE COMPONENTS WORKING PROPERLY. NOTE THAT ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS THE DIC (DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER) HAS RESET ITSELF. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS MAINTAINED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR
