Consumer Description

IGNITION TUMBLER DOES NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY AND KEY IS EASILY REMOVED WHEN CAR IS ON AND WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN TO THE ON POSITION TO START THE CAR. LAST WEEK AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE IGNITION TUMBLER FAILED TO OPERATE IN THE PROPER MANNER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE VEHICLE MANY TIMES FIDDLING WITH THE KEY TO,TRY TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS LACK OF FUNCTION CAUSED AN ENTIRE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, A TOW TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, INCONVENIENCED ME FOR THREE DAYS WITH NO VEHICLE AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE YEAR, WHEN THIS CLEARLY HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH SATURN VUES FOR THE PRECEDING YEARS. *TR
