While I was sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to get out of work, the car was running, when there was smoke pouring from the steering column. I immediately shut the car off and the smoke dissipated. This was 2 days ago and now my wipers do not work. My mechanic said that the air bag wires had caught fire and burned out the wipers.

2006 Saturn Vue. Consumer writes in regards to information on vehicles defective airbag problem.

Takata recall? my 2006 Saturn Vue airbag systems light keeps coming on and then will go off. It's been doing this for years with no accident in car history. Wondering if it(airbags) will go off in the middle of driving or not go off when it needs to.

Able to take key out of the ignition while driving. Bells go off opposite of what they should; when key is out after car is parked the alarm rings when door is opened. Passenger airbag reads off always. Passenger rear door will not close unless using extreme forse.

I own a 2006 Saturn Vue purchase in January 2012 with 100,000 miles the problem is the air bag readiness light comes on almost constant . The dealer says its a pps problem this is a common problem in Saturns . Why is their no recall?.

I noticed that my air bags were flipping on and off, and that when I hit the seat warmer the air bags flip back to on. I took my car to have it looked at and they told me that the heater in the seat was causing this problem. This is not safe at all.

Electrical problems started at 25k miles and continues through today may 5, 2014 doors unlocking while driving . Both passenger and driver airbags lights go on and off at will. All panel lights would go out. I have replaced parking, backup and head lights 4 times in this vehicle. Tag light keeps blowing, and I have replaced 4 times in 2 months I just replaced them sat may 2 and one is out now. I have to replace fuses every month for various things repeatedly the front or roof interior lights are on every morning and they are not in the on position. The speakers fade in and out I feel like I got a lemon with this vehicle year and I have spent so much money paying for dealers to trace the electrical but they always claim they cannot locate any problems. I never had a problem with the other 3 Saturn's I purchased. Ugh!.
