2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

There is a recall on similar models for the same issue, but not mine. My key comes out of the ignition while driving and continues to run. This also occurs while in park. This could cause airbags to not deploy in an accident as well as it has drained my electrical system on a number of occasions because if it is not fully disengaged I can still remove the key in acc mode and drive mode. Also, I have to tug on the gear shift in order to get the key into the proper position to remove it properly. Now¿I cannot even turn my key, as the ignition is seizing. It takes me no less than 10 minutes to get it to click and turn on. I was advised my model is not in the recall though the same and same makes are. I really feel this is a huge issue. Please advise! this has been an issue since I have owned the vehicle and I was told it was a recall, but when I went to my appointment, they advised it is not part of the current recall.

4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2014

The airbag light began coming on at random times and now remains on. I took it to my mechanic and was told that the entire passenger seat module had to be replaced at the cost of approx. $1,000. 00. With this current malfunction, if I were to be involved in an accident with a passenger, the passenger's airbag would not deploy. This is a safety issue that should be covered/fixed by the manufacturer.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2013

Short;y after a complete dealer service I noticed that the airbag light was illuminated on the dash. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that a sensor was bad on the passenger seat. I was also told that there was possibility that the airbag might not deploy due to the light being illuminated. I told the dealer that this should be replaced under warranty they declined and told me that "things sometimes wear out" I contacted gm regional they declined to fix this under warranty. So I reluctantly paid for the repair totaling $968. 52. I believe that this is wrong and a failure of a critical safety issue.

6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2013

Airbag warring light on dash came on and then went off. Over a period of several months the light would come on more often. Now the light is on almost all of the time. I believe if a crash occurs, the airbags would not deploy and injury or death may occur. This should be a safety recall.

7 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2013

For the past year I have been having a very difficult time inserting the key in the ignition and turning the key to turn on the car. Once I get the key in I have to jiggle it over and over until the key is able to turn. Sometimes it takes me anywhere from 5-15 minutes. However lately when the key is finally in it gets stuck and it does not allow the key to be released leaving me stranded. I also noticed the airbag sensor light turns on and off randomly while I am driving the car and while there is a passenger in the car. My biggest concern is if the airbag fails to deploy in case of an accident. Another concern of mine is that sometimes when I am driving the car it accelerates itself for a moment or two and it is very scary. I am currently unable to drive my car because I am scared, especially because I drive my 5 and 1 year old everyday. I am unable to get the car looked at this time due to financial reasons. My Saturn Vue is not included in the recall however I really wish it were because all of the problems I am experiencing are very similar to that of the gm vehicles that were recalled. Please investigate the Saturn Vue 2007 ignition problem, airbag light problem, and accelerating problem. Thank you so much.

8 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2012

I was driving on the interstate (i90) near rockford IL when all of the sudden my side curtain air bags deployed. There was no accident and the front air bags did not deploy. The seat belts locked up and the lights started flashing. This issue has not been resolved through gm. My insurance company says they wont fix it because it was not in an accident. Gm has not been helpful at all. Gm had an independent investigator out. The investigator said it was obvious it was not in an accident. Gm has been very vague in its response. Only saying that they believe the air bag system is ok, "something must have made it go off".

9 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2011

I bought a 2007 Saturn Vue from a dealer as well and my air bag on the passenger side comes on a lot to. It is on when no one is sitting in it but turns off when someone does sit in it. No matter the size or weigh of that person sometimes it will say it is on sometimes it will say it has been turned off. Not sure if there is really anything wrong with the airbag or it is just a light telling you there is. On-star says that airbags are fine though. Little concerned if there is something wrong with the airbags because that is one heck of a lawsuit they will have on there hands if we are to ever get in an accent and the airbags did not deploy. If it was indeed a manufacturing issue and it seems to be the case here, it should be fixed for free and fast for safety reasons. ## VIN failed ## 2007 Saturn Vue ##.
