On 5/26/14 that morning my car wouldn't start so I got jump start. Late that afternoon again it wouldn't start, but battery under warranty, so I got a new one. Driving home that evening, with kids in car, going through intersection car loses power! luckily we were not hit. I managed to start car repeatedly to get to the side of the road. On 5/27/14 car was taken to dealer and was there till 5/29/14 and I was told it is the ignition switch and need to pay $295. 00 since there is no recall. This is a very dangerous situation I was one light from entering the fwy home. I hate to think what could of happened at higher speeds. Please look into a recall.

2008 Saturn Vue has electrical malfunction. 3 months ago I parked my car in the garage, turned car off but the key would not come out of the ignition. The car would not start either. Called a tow truck, took to local mechanic. He advised the ignition switch was faulty and installed new ignition. Today new electrical problem occurred. Airbag light came on and off multiple times then stayed on. When car was re started light was off but came back on after about 15 minutes. I believe this vehicle should have been included in recall. It appears to have exactly the same issues.

I had to have the ignition switch replaced car would not start this was on 10 7 2013.

Car would not start, when you put the key in the ignition will not start. After several attempts you can finally get it to connect. This is an ongoing issue I have had the car in the garage several times. I have been stranded three times in the last six months. It doesn't happen all the time and never happens when the garage has the vehicle. The last time was on Saturday 5/18/2014 the only way I could get the vehicle to start was to put it in neutral and turn the steering column, then when it would go back to the straight position the vehicle would stop again. After about five times trying it this way I left the wheels turned all the way to the left and put the vehicle into gear and made a u turn and keep going to home. I am afraid to try this car for fear it will cut out and someone will run into me.

The electrical system in my 2009 Saturn Vue shorts out causing all kinds of issues, the first time was in late 2013 when nothing on the dash came on, my radio did not play, no gages worked. Drove it to the first dealership in waterford and they got the gages working but had little news to say about it, it was a bad experience to say the least. The 2nd time it died in my drive way ( it had a brand new battery in it at the time)I had it towed to the nearest dealership and was told at first that they could not find the problem. The hood latch light was on and when they tried to give it back the tire pressure light came on and would not go off even when the tire pressure was checked manually and was correct . They said that they had to reboot the computer board and it was fixed. This time I drove my car for over a 2 month period where the blinker would cause the radio to go out, if I turned on the brights the radio would go out, then one day I got out of my car and realized the radio was still playing. I had to restart the car to shut it down . Lights flicker on the dash and the headlights would flicker back and forth while driving. My last straw was when I came out of the store and my car would not start, it did not do anything, I sat there for a minute and tried it again and it started up, so I scheduled an appointment at the dealership. They had the car form April 23 thru may 8 and said they could not duplicate the problem. In October my extended warranty is up and no one has found the problem yet. I have to say I have drove it now for 4 days and none of the things I described earlier has happened. Someone please help me, not fair to have these kinds of issues on a car of this caliper.

Erratic occurrence of air conditioning blowing hot or warm sometimes at outside temp range 82-87 f. Compressor has been replaced several times as well as recharged with freon. Working well today and had it checked by an automotive business several times in addition to original repairs performed by Saturn dealership before Saturn went out of business. Problem has been going on for several years now. This is a Saturn Vue redline 2004 with this issue. No one has fixed this gm or independent dealers. Seems to be related to motor rpm with greater likelihood of malfunctioning at freeway speeds 60-65 mph and more likely to operate correctly when the engine is idling. Also, sometimes the engine will not start immediately and acts if it gas flooded or gas starved. Engine turns over but does not start. Computer has been checked recently and there are no abnormal computer codes. On one occasion, engine ran as though it was two cycling and did not run normal until the ignition was shut off and turned on again.

Saturn Vue 6 cylinder,since we bought it key is hard to turn. Once almost had to stay overnight on way home from vacation, because car wouldn't start. Was under warranty so they supposedly changed the cylinder. I was able to start car, but nobody else can. Mentioned it again to dealership and they gave me new keys, several times. This past weekend my son borrowed the car and had lots of trouble turning the key, so took the car in to Saturn again and he said the key was worn and after we kind of argued about it, he admitted it was a very common problem of Saturn. Went in on internet and found it is more than common. Don't know what dealer will do for me, I just have 3000 miles left on warranty, but I left car there, because last week I also took it in for a grinding metal sound and was told it was the timing belt, which they changed, but within two days the sound was back, so I left it there hoping against all odds that they will truly fix it. There really should be a recall for the ignition key problem, since in 1 1/2 years time they haven't been able to fix it right. The mechanic actually indicated it could not be fixed, because there is a design flaw.

Late at night in a major downtown parking deck, vehicle would not start. Go to start vehicle, cranks but never turns over. Shut vehicle off, go to restart and vehicle will start. It is an intermittent problem that occurs every few days. Not to mention, since this problem started my remote to unlock and lock doors has started doing the same thing. Sometimes it will lock but not unlock the doors. Dealer can not duplicate problem and cleaned contacts on remote, which two tries later to get into vehicle, doors would not unlock.
