After sitting for awhile, I tried to use the key fob to unlock the car. It did nothing. I used the key then to unlock the doors and the dome lights did not work. However, the car started up with the second turn of the key. After driving home, the key fob worked again along with the dome lights. While driving at several other times, the radio will shut off and the clock will reset to midnight and the calendar will reset. This will happen while driving as well as when the engine is first started. This will happen at least once a week. This has been happening for several months now.

But now I'm having a problem with my back door not shutting when I shut it it opens unexpectently. In the words of car talk it's called 1. Transmission case porosity at park pawl 2. Outside door handle sticks/bind. Also the interior lights on the trans stick is out, my warning dash boards light come in for no reason 1st it was oil light which I received an oil change a month ago and now it's the check engine light, car alarm goes off when the back door acts up. Now I hope to here from someone soon. I might go to the news cause I need help and you people not helping so that might make u move faster. But if I die of my car rolls away and kills one of these kids outside I will sue you people so hard. Waiting for an awser bye. Fyi ive been having problems with this car since I bought it in 2014.

Unable to turn vehicle off while in park. Key gets stuck at acc.

Takata recall this afternoon, the airbag warning light came on and stayed on. I was not moving. Previously, the electrical system went out and was costly to repair, had to be towed from pittsburgh to cleveland.

Over the past year and half I've had numerous electrical issues. Head lights dimming and flashing at very high intervals almost like a dim strobe. Radio not turning on. Interior lights not coming on. Odometer light dims. Random dinging noise. Turn signal not always working or working sporadically. Front windshield wipers not always coming on and when they do it's sporadic. Rear windshield not coming on but will after an engine restart. Key stuck in the ignition. Hazard lights not working when engine is off. All this has happened slowly over the last year and half. I've replaced the battery twice and have had it in the shop multiple times and they can't find an issue. Everyone with these problems will tell you that a mechanic can't run a test for the problem if it's not happening at that time. We also all know too well these problems come and go very quickly and sometimes temporarily fix themselves with just an engine restart, driving over a bump (which also brings on the issues) or shaking the wire harness on top of the battery. So taking it to a shop to run a test is almost meaningless unless towed and even then it's not 100% chance you're going to get a code(s) to read. The last few months the problems have gotten worse. The big occurrence came when I was just two minutes down the road from where I live, I had the Vue not start up or even turn over and the key was locked in the ignition. I opened up the hood, tapped once on the black box on top of the battery and the Vue started dinging and was able to turn the vehicle on. I then drove to my house and the vehicle completely shut off on me and restarted twice within that two min drive. I lost total power and very limited control of the steering wheel. This issue has been brought up and complained about hundreds of times on the internet and has yet to be investigated. Please investigate this electrical issue. -11. 4. 17.

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.

Sitting in traffic at a light in drive with brakes applied not moving,1989 chevy pick up truck ,hit my back bumper,the light on my dash indicated the air bags deployed,and a light on my dash said passenger air bag is off,the air bags did not deploy. Took my car to the nearest Chevrolet dealer kendall of nampa idaho,they said code# boo92 5256 came up and they said the heating element for the passenger seat went out (no one was sitting in the passenger seat , and I never use the heated seats ) the dealer said the heated seats are connected to my air bags and my air bags can't be turned on until the heat element for the seat is repaired. I thought that a federal law was passed in the early 1990's that the air bag system was to be on it's own circuit so it can not be turned off by any other circuits? I can't believe this is true I bought this car in 2006 brand new ,and I feel the Chevrolet corporation should be responsible for the repairs. Please respond as fast as you can because I have only one car, and the guy that hit me his insurance is looking into it . Thank god I wasn't hurt or the guy that hit me,thank you for taking the time to look into this matter for me. Have a good day.

It's my turn signals my locks and my flashers headlights.

All of my dashboard lights including my brake light is on my emergency brake light beeps while I'm driving but it's not engaged my shifting is very choppy and I'm having a hard time with the tire pressure as well a few weeks ago I noticed that there was lights on my dashboard I went to a automobile place they erase all the codes so we could figure out what's going on with it and every single thing that could go wrong with it they're saying it's wrong with it but it still drives it has a hard time shifting and this is an automatic so I'm not in charge of the shift it's very choppy when it shifts into different gears the automobile place that it's either the computer or the transmission this car has mile number 134380 on it it always has the right amount of fluids in it I always get oil changes on time I have no clue what's going on with this car.

When the car starts the steering locks up and makes the car difficult to drive. The brakes also grind and the transmission makes noises. The electrical components malfunction and lights and sounds flicker on and off. All of these things have been looked into by a mechanic and they cannot find a solution as to why the electric malfunctioning and steering is locking up.

Upon initial startup, electrical systems do not work in the dash and light and power steering. After it warms up, it will begin to work. Sparks and burning smells have come from the dash area. This problem is particularly bad in cold weather. If you attempt to drive it before the electrical systems warm up and start to work the sparks are really bad and you have no power steering. This problem appears to be very common as I have seen several posts about this issue and other complaint boards. This problem has been occurring for at least a year and a half but it's particularly noticeable in the winter. . 183k miles.

There was a recall bulletin issued for my model year vehicle:. . Read more...

I have had electrical and climate control problems since I bought this car. Most of the a/c components have been replaced. Now I don't have any a/c at all. I've also had heating problems that required two different repairs which were very expensive. My car is garage kept, well maintained and it only has 30,000.

The hose for the moon roof drains are leaking causing mold and electrical issues in the Vue. We had the hoses replaced twice but the problem keeps happening. Electrical issues have caused issues with starting, instrument panel, etc.

Ignition key can be removed when not in the lock position. Can be removed when in any position. Can be removed when driving or parked.

Car key kept getting stuck in ignition. Car will come out while it is on. Car alarm failed no warning. We replaced battery and now car has no power. When we turn key nothing happens. No lights. No power at all.

Smoke coming out of steering wheel, while in motion on a city street.

The key falls out of the ignition. The key system is unsafe.

My steering is hard to turn when I start my car, then after messing with the lock and unlock button the steering wheel releases. The lights on my dash start flashing it goes on and off. The fuses are fine it's something else. There's no place to put power steering fluid? help.

While driving the vehicle, the power steering was lost making it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle as there was no electronic assisted steering at that point. In addition, the digital components on the dashboard (speedometer, fuel gauge, etc. ) lost power. The power steering would go out intermittently while driving making it very dangerous to operate the vehicle.

The ignition recall has been completed and now it's doing the same thing where the key can be pulled out in the running position.

Both the driver side and the passenger side air bag warning indicators comes off and goes continuously. I wonder why there was a no recall as so many complaints were placed already.
