Check Engine Light On problems of the 2007 Saturn VUE

My key would not come out of ignition, had to drill out ignition cylinder and replace housing also. Had to get a mechanic to key the cylinder and now the lights, a/c, and radio do not work after engine starts until it runs for about 8 minutes. Then everything works, but the check engine light stays on, the engine runs good, until it sits parked overnight and have to do it again the next day. Also had to replace the alternator. Still doing the same. Had it parked for abot two months and just start it and run the engine to preseve the battery. Use other vehicle instead.

I went outside on a cold morning and attempted to crank my 2007 Saturn Vue. The engine would not start. I had it towed into a shop and was told that the timing chain snapped which caused engine failure. I took it to another shop for a second opinion and they said the same thing and that it would cost over $5,000 to repair it. I've done research since then and apparently gm has had this issue with Saturn Vues before. Timing chains are not designed to wear out, particularly not at under 100k miles. My vehicle was well maintained. I had no prior indication that anything was wrong, no check engine light or anything. It I had been driving when it snapped it could have been extremely dangerous or fatal. This is a safety issue and gm should take measures to prevent this from happening. There have been recalls issued on Saturn Vues with similar issues in the past, but clearly the recalls need to be expanded to include the 2007 model year and any other years affected. Thank you.

I bought this 2007 Saturn Vue v6 awd in July 2012 from brighton Ford, brighton mi noticed a slight vibration when test driving. Less than a week after I buy it the ac goes out, and the shuttering gets worse. Take it back to them to look at and get referred to a tire shop. Was told the ac coil had a huge leak, and was probably "topped off" at by the dealer and that there was some tire wear issues. Brighton Ford refused to fix anything. Drive it for about a year the shuttering gets worse and worse take it in to bud kouts Chevrolet, lansing, mi for a check engine light that came on, it was because of a miss fire in two of the cylinders. Told them about the shuttering, was told nothing was wrong. 28 days later I have a tire explode, told there was nothing wrong. Take it back after finding a huge hole in the shock absorber casing. This time speaking with the dealership owner directly, after two days they finally found the cause of the shuttering, a bad torque converter. They admitted that this is an issue on the these vehicles, but still want about $2000 to fix it. If there is not a recall on this there should be. I will never by a gm made vehicle again. I've owned three now and have had nothing but problems with them. The Subaru I owned had well over 200,000 miles and no issues the same goes for a Mazda I owned.
