NHTSA Complaint #10574997 — 2005 SATURN VUE

WHILE IN OUR DRIVEWAY GETTING READY TO LEAVE IN OUR SATURN VUE, MY HUSBAND PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND STARTED TO BACK UP. AT THIS TIME THE LANYARD ON THE KEY CHAIN GOT HOOKED AND TUGGED THE KEY A BIT. THE ENTIRE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF AFTER HEARING OF THE RECENT GM RECALLS AND REMEMBERING THIS HAPPENING WITH MY VUE, WE TRIED TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT NOT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. BY TUGGING ON THE LANYARD, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE KEY COME COMPLETELY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING, BUT AS LONG AS IT COMES STRAIGHT OUT AND DOES NOT PULL AT AN ANGLE TO TURN THE STARTER, THE CAR STAYS ON AND CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. GM NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS MODEL AS WELL AS THE OTHERS. IF WE CAN EVEN REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON DEMAND, THERE DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM. I CAN PRODUCE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING WITH MY CAR ON REQUEST.
