Purchased the vehicle may 2007 and in August 2007 the key stuck stook in the ignition and would not turn on-dealership towed and stated fixed it-now in August of 2010 same issue key would not turn on iginition no warrenty-had to get towed dealership stated there was metal fibers and had to be replaced telling me the first time all they did was lubricate it but not fix it. Costing me $270. 00 to fix. This is only a 3 year old car. The dealer stood with the iginition stating they still can't make it turn so was replaced.
My 2007 Saturn Vue all the time since I purchased it the passenger side deployment bag light will not work, unless I turn on the passenger heat , and the seat does not heat up, and I am still not sure it will work because it is an electrical problem, also my electric windows won't work on several occasions, and the ignition shift the key sticks and steering column locks when this happens, and it won't release the key. Dealer won't deal with it, wonder if there has been any other complaints because I do not feel safe especially when I have passengers, it cannot be trusted, not sure of any recalls, but it definitely needs to be looked into and fixed before anyone could get hurt.
I too had problems with the key ignition as well as the passenger air bag light coming on. The key was fixed when I bought the car. Now my issues is with the windows randomly not working and passenger air bag on. My car window on the passengers side did not work for a year. It would work occasionally (when I tested the button) now the passengers side work, but the drivers side dose not. I was told by Saturn that they are unrelated issues. I can not understand that? my car is in the shop to have service done on it. The drivers side window needs to be fixed. At the cost of $265. 00 just the driver side, and they said that their is no problem with pass. Side. . . I can see that the windows are an issues with this type on Saturn. . . And no one is addressing this issues. Their is definitely a problem with the air bag system as well as the window system. I love my car, but what I'm reading here seem to show me that the problems are real concerning my car. And the service center said that they not related? I have a big problem with that. Some one need to check in to the window and air bag problem. Their must be a site that people talk about these issues??
