Consumer Description

#1. IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH,CAUSING THE KEY TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE TURNED OR TO BE REMOVED. #2. STEERING IS VAGUE AND HARD TO KEEP POINTED IN ONE DIRECTION, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC STEERING. ALSO; THE CAR SWAYS PROFOUNDLY OVER UNEVEN SURFACES,DUE TO THE SUSPENSION DESIGN. THIS LACK OF SUSPENSION DESIGN INTEGRITY, COUPLED WITH THE USE OF ELECTRONIC STEERING CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER,(CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MEANDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE,OFTEN INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC,UNLESS THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE STEERING INPUT). PLEASE HELP TO FORCE SATURN TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC! PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER SATURN VUE'S, AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BEHAVE THE SAME WAY. THANK YOU! *NM
