Ignition switch-key comes out while engine is running. Saturn (gm) advises that this SUV is not included in the Saturn recall for ignition switch.

I have all ready taken my Saturn Vue to the dealer in hemet CA. ( gosch Chevrolet). The ignition switch broke again a week later. I took it back but gosch would not fix it again. The reason was because the housing had damage around it. Now the reason for that was because I was stranded 20 miles from nothing when the ignition would not turn my vehicle on, I was alone for 2 days before I had to mess with it to get it started. This has been an ongoing problem for me. I've missed an air flight. And 2 jobs fired me because I could not get to work. Its been a downward spiral ever since. Saturn's are great cars otherwise.

Ignition switch assy; dealer charged me for flashing ignition system, vehicle still willnot start.

I just bought this car for my daughter and the key will fall out of ignition switch when running down the road. I removed everything but the key so it doesn't happen. Previous owner said they checked with dealer to see if it was covered under the switch recall and they said no it was not.

I have a 2004 Saturn Vue. The key can be pulled out of the ignition switch while the car is on and in motion with the car in drive. Gm is stating that the car is not under recall because the VIN isn't on the list and the car was built at a different plant. It is the same exact issue as what the recall is for. Why won't they fix it?.

While driving about 25 mph, the ignition switch turned off and the engine stalled. There was only one other key on the key ring at the time I was driving. I was able to stop the SUV and restart it to continue. This is same ignition safety defect as in the other Saturns I have read about. I lost steering and braking capabilities.

I visited the dealer on that date because my car has faulty ignition switch (sometimes key don't turn and the key can go out easily in any position) and I hear the news for the recall for this vehicle with date 8/7/2014. The dealer was unable to find the recall in gm web page, exactly happen to me every time I check for this recall at gm web page. I'm worry an accident with the faulty ignition switch will occur at any time. I have the printed copy from the dealer at that time.

We can remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is running or moving. I did see on 8/8/2014 that our year was involved in a new recall by gm describing the same problem. I contacted our local dealer and they showed no recall and called gm/Saturn to question it as well. Even after telling the representative from gm that our vehicle had the same trouble that was listed in the recall and fit the model year listed they said that they could only update our information and would contact us if it does become part of the recall. The key does come out just as described in the recall.

I have a 2004 Saturn Vue with an ignition switch that allows the key to be removed at any time, in any position, whether the engine is running or not. With the engine running, the key can be removed, creating the potential to not be able to shut off the engine. With the recent recalls and injuries involving other Saturn vehicles made at the same time, I believe this situation needs to be investigated.

When removing the ignition key from the ignition switch cylinder, the key gets stuck about half way out, and is very difficult to remove. After pushing, pulling, and manipulating the key it eventually is released. This has happened multiple times and at times it seems like the key may not come out of the ignition.

A 2004 Saturn Vue is having ignition problem. We have yet to replace the ignition due to tricks to cause the ignition to release and start the vehicle. I fully expect this inconvenience to become a major problem at some point due to the poor quality materials used to produce the ignition switch. Should this strand us, the towing fee will be $75 plus a minimum of $400 for the mechanic and parts. I have experienced this problem with another general motors product and had a custom part made to solve the problem. Gm should be the one producing a quality replacement part and issuing a recall instead of gouging consumers especially with their sales plunge of late. They don't need another hit on their quality perception.

Ignition key fell out of lock cylinder while was running. This is dangerous because if I ever need to shut down the engine and the key were to fall out I'd be in trouble. Lock cylinder sticks and I can barely turn it to start sometimes. This car has only 40,000 miles!.

Ignition switch unable to rotate to start vehicle on 2004 Saturn Vue. Dealership charged 75 dollars to clean ignition switch, and says they get 3 or 4 complaints a week for the same thing. Is this a Saturn problem or a personal problem? I've had cars 14 years old and never experienced this before. Now in two days, the dealer has had 7 Saturn Vues come in with the same complaint, from 2004 to 2007 models.
