Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Saturn VUE

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.

I started my car and the drive side air bag light came on no blinking just on. My car had been parked while I was at work. I went home for lunch I figured it was just a glitch would go out went back to work parked it again then when I left to go home it was on again. In the past few months I have had my keys get stuck in the ignition switch and had to wiggle the steering wheel to. Get them out. My radio screen will go all crazy funny numbers and I have had wind noise with both of my front doors since I have owned the vehicle. We took it to the dealership and the worked on the ignition switch when it was under warranty but it didn't help. Now with the airbag I am terrified to drive the car I paid for and to let my child ride in it and it's my only transportation. It looks like every other Saturn is getting recalled but this one we need help before we get hurt. I was not aware of these problems when I purchased this vehicle but now saddled with it hoping for someone to make sure we are safe like other car owners.

The passenger rear door latch doesn't always keep door shut. It is an intermittent problem. Little unnerving tamaking a turn and the door fly's open. Until I get it to the shop for repairs it is strapped from the inside and duct taped on the outside. I have seen several complaints and wondering if there will be a recall for this.

For a couple of days now my radio will change channels on its on. The dial will display crazy characters and I will have to put it back on the original channel just to have it go back to the channel of its on choice. For years now I have had wind noise on the driver side and the passenger bag light has come on at different times and I had to stop my car sit in the seat to reset it. I initially thought it was just my vehicle but after looking here I see its not just me. I have had to have my windshield wiper system totally replaced and my ignition worked on at the dealership already one time and it is now acting up again. My husband choose this car for safety reasons and gas mileage and I have loved it for mileage and being able to pack a lot of luggage. He hates to travel in it due to the wind noise. We had the dealership check it out and nothing could be found. I am hoping that a recall will help us get something done with the wind noise and electrical problems. Please help before it causes a fire or something. I do have a child.

Got in car and noticed that my radio had been reset, and that my car wouldnt start. I got a jump from my insurance company, and sortly after turning on the air, the odometer panel faded off. You can no longer see the odometer reading or the outside weather temp. The car also delays when it starts. Sometime it wont even start the first time around, unless you pump at the pedal a few times. This car has had several recalls in the past, and I am almost certain none of the recalls were fixed by the gm dealership that sold it to me in 2011.

Our key started sticking in the ignition and we would be stranded until we could finally get the key to turn. Once the key is turned and car is running, key will fall out of the ignition and onto the floor while driving!! now the ignition does not turn all the way off and must be shut off and the key removed at the accessories position, which leaves lights on and radio, and doors beeping. It is extremely stressful to have the key fall out of the ignition while driving, but to also not be able to completely shut our car off.

Approximately July 2013, my instrument panel lights and radio shut off. The service stabilitrak warning message came on and then went off. I was unable to take the key out of the ignition. After moving the battery, the lights turned on and I was able to start the car. This lasted for an hour. It happened again and moving the battery worked. I took it to lou fusz GMC Buick. They tested the alternator, battery, and all of their components. They were fine. I took it to them in August, September, and October. I thought the problem was caused by the battery not being secured or I needed a new battery. I had the battery replaced by lou fusz in January 2014. Everything seemed to be fine until earlier this month. The same symptoms and issues happened again. I currently have the vehicle at a gm service center hoping they can resolve the issue. There is something seriously wrong with this vehicle. I am afraid to drive it. My concern is it may be overheating causing the wires to burn. There are other reports of the same issue with the 2009 Saturn Vue. Please assist me in resolving this matter.

Noticed radio screen was not fully illuminated & my seat belt warning 'chime' stopped working when belt was unfastened. Had this problem w/ another vehicle (1999 Acura integra) & it resulted in replacing the ignition cylinder. As a result, I started jiggling the Saturn key to see if there was improper/ inadequate circuit closure. When I jiggled the key, it was loose and came out, but the car remained running! since then I have experienced several similar incidents and the radio display still does not display fully across the screen and the seat belt chime still doesn't work. (approximately may 2013) I started having difficulties getting key to turn in ignition enabling the vehicle to start. I went to gm dealer to get a new key in case that might rectify the problem - it did not. Recently (August 2014) asked a non-gm mechanic about key turning difficulties. He indicated 'tumblers' gets 'sticky' & prevents key from turning & that it would get worse until I replaced ignition lock cylinder. I checked on-line for recalls, as so many gm vehicles were having problems with their ignitions and safety equipment. The 2006 Saturn Vue wasn't on the list. I went to local gm dealer (Buick/ GMC dealer in naperville, IL) in September 2014 & they confirmed the 2006 Vue was not covered under a recall. I went ahead and provided my VIN #, proof of ownership (title and drivers license) and they quoted a price of $90 for the ignition cylinder, $60. To obtain and use the gm code to program the new ignition lock cylinder, & this did not include a new key! they did they work & even included a key @ no additional cost. Now I am attempting replacement of ignition lock cylinder, but it requires key to be turned to the accessory position to remove the cylinder. I can't get key to turn, so can't replace cylinder and the car is not operable. I believe 2006 Saturn Vue should be recalled too.

I own a 2006 Saturn Vue awd in the 2 years I have owned the car here is a list of what has been replaced; 3 set of front brake rotors due to excessive warping to a point where they cant be turned which resulted in a shimmy of the steering wheel when the brakes are applied that keeping control was almost impossible. 2)rear wheel bearings at 25,000mi. 3) front strut mounts also at 25,000 mi. 4) pass seat air bag/seat heater module($907 one wont work without the other) 5) rear wiper motor6) windshield washer pump 6) gas tank vent valve solenoid switch (this makes the engine light com on) 7)3 yes 3 radios. 8) upper pass. Seat heater element.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Vue hybrid. While proceeding through a traffic light at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled. After several attempts, the vehicle restarted. While the engine was running, the ignition restarted automatically. Also, the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel and the radio light indicator shut off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to a voltage defect within the battery. The failure recurred on three separate occasions and was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was repaired, with the exception of the radio. The failure mileage was 40,000 and current mileage was 43,942.

This car is a piece of crap. I cannot even sell it because people whomever look at it says it runs horribly. The truck doesn't accelerate properly, the gas tank float doesn't always work, there's a problem with the key getting stuck in the ignition when you attempt to start the car (if you can get it in it doesn't always turn), it makes grinding sounds when it turns, the cd player scratches your cd's, there are burning smells for no reason . . . . On and on and on. Don't know why there has never been a recall on this vehicle. I can't afford to fix everything that goes on with it. If anyone is interested in a class action suit please email me at.

Bought my 2006 Saturn Vue in July 2006 second day I noticed that the radio and onstar was very low with the volume turned up all the way. Took it back they replaced the radio. A few weeks later the radio went out completely they had to order a radio which took 5 weeks to get so I had no way of using onstar nor the radio dealership said it was a safety issue so they wouldn't put me in a loaner car. Got my Vue back 3 weeks later it went out again then came back on. They took it and reset it gave it back to me and it wont hold the time right and the volume doesn't work all the time now. The dealership told me that I was over working the radio and if I needed to buy me an after market radio that would be better for me and they wouldn't replace it again.

I have problems with the following in my 2003 v4 manual Saturn: cd player stopped working, my sunroof fell apart. I have had all four tie rod ends replaced at individual service dates, my rotors were ground last Nov and now they been replaced. My tires needed to be replaced last year after about a year of ownership.

2007 Saturn Vue was serviced because of the check engine and battery lights illuminating. Dealer replaced and fixed several problems. Consumer was still not happy with the way the vehicle ran. The consumer stated the radio was replaced for the third time, and there was even more wind noise from the driver side door with the new rubber seal. The consumer also stated major loss of power, rough upshifting, double downshifting while braking and poor fuel economy. The consumer was told a new calibration was made to the pcm as part of the correction made along with the wiring harness to make the check engine and battery lights go off.
