Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SATURN VUE'S KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. THERE IS NOTHING ON MY KEY RING BUT THEY KEY AND THE KEYLESS REMOTE. I WAS ABLE TO RE-INSERT THE KEY AND REGAIN STEERING CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT MOVED FROM THE "RUN" POSITION TO THE "ACC" POSITION AND LOCKED MY STEERING COLUMN. THE ENGINE ALSO SHUT OFF. I SEE THAT THE 2002-2004 SATURN VUE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT HAS ALREADY CAUSED NUMEROUS CONFIRMED FATALITIES AND NEED TO POINT OUT THAT ACCORDING TO GENERAL MOTORS, THE 2005-2007 SATURN VUE'S HAVE THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER IGNITION CYLINDER AND SWITCH. I AM ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRESSURE, AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE VEHICLE GOING INTO "ACC" MODE WHILST MOVING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT YOU WILL RECALL EARLIER MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT EVERY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR
