NHTSA Complaint #10633190 — 2006 SATURN VUE

THIS HAS TO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. FOR AT LEAST THE LAST TWO YEARS AND MAYBE LONGER I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH. THE KEY WILL GET STUCK AND NOT MOVE IN THE IGNITION. THEREFORE I CANNOT START THE CAR. NOT GOOD IF YOU NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE OR ARE TRYING TO LEAVE SOMEWHERE. ALSO, I HAVE THE REVERSE PROBLEM, I WILL TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY WILL NOT "SWITCH" ALL THE WAY TO THE RELEASE POINT, THEREFORE CAUSING ME TO OFTEN HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION A FULL STOP BEFORE IT IS TRULY OFF. THIS OF COURSE IS TROUBLESOME THE NEXT TIME I START THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO TRY AND WORK THE KEY FIRST BACK TO THE INITIAL IGNITION POSITION AND THEN START THE CAR AS YOU WOULD NORMALLY. ALSO, I CAN PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION GOING ANYWHERE FROM 0 - 65 MPH DOWN THE STREET / HIGHWAY WITH THE CAR OBVIOUSLY IN DRIVE. I CAN HAVE THE CAR IN PARK AND RUNNING AND PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN / OPERATE AS IF THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE IGNITION (OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE). SATURN / GM, YOU STATE THAT YOU CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS, WHOM BY THE WAY, ENTRUST THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN TO GM CARS. PLEASE DO THE CORRECT THING AND IMMEDIATELY INCLUDE SATURN VUE 2006 OWNERS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WHO CLEARLY HAVE AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR
