2005 SATURN VUE Electrical System Problems

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE IGNITION IS NOT IN THE "OFF" POSITION. THERE WAS A RECALL (#14V490000 ON 08/08/2014) FOR 2002-2004 SATURN VUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, TO APRIL 6, 2004, HOWEVER, I HAVE A 2005 SATURN VUE THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL OR REMEDY AVAILABLE.

DASHBOARD FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR TWO AND HALF HOURS BEFORE IT WAS NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS ON FIRE.

KEY WONT TURN IN IGNITION. BOUGHT NEW KEY BUT PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. CAR IS OFF AND IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION WHEN IN MOTION

IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY, AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. SOMETIMES THE KEY WILL TURN, OTHER TIMES IT JAMS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO TURN. MY MECHANIC HAD TWO NEW FACTORY KEYS MADE LAST SUMMER AS HE WAS CERTAIN IT WAS THE KEYS, THOUGH I DID NOT BELIEVE IT AND IT CERTAINLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KEYS. MY MECHANIC IS NOW CHECKING ON GETTING ANOTHER SATURN VUE IGNITION SWITCH (HAS HAS MY VIN). MY MECHANIC HAS SAID (LAST SUMMER AND STILL NOW) THAT HE BELIEVES THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ON SATURN.

MY CAR HAS THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT ON, AND THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALMOST GONE OFF THE ROAD TONS OF TIMES WHEN THE ROADS HAVE BARELY ANY SNOW OR ICE ON THEM, AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL! THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE SATURN VUES SEEMS TO GO OUT ALL THE TIME, WHICH CAUSES OTHER PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONING BREAKS, BEARING DEGENERATION TOO! I NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE BREAKS AND NOW I NEED NEW BEARINGS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 84K MILES ON IT!!! AND WITH MY CAR, MY TRANSMISSION IS ALSO GOING OUT AND THAT STARTED AT 60,000, MILES AND NOW ITS GIVING ME REAL PROBLEMS TOO! SO THE SATURN VUE 2005 AWD V6 CAR I HAVE... HAS A COMMON PROBLEM OF CHEAP ABS SYSTEM PARTS GOING BAD, AND BAD TRANSMISSIONS! BOTH NEED TO BE RECALLED, AND ADDRESSED BY...

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MONTHS.

KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL?

IGNITION CYLINDER - KEY CAN COME OUT WHEN NOT IN "OFF" POSITION. FOR NOW, IT'S JUST HAPPENING WHEN PARKED AND DRAINING THE BATTERY, BUT IT'S UNSAFE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE IGNITION KEY WAS ABLE TO BE EJECTED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN VUE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE KEY EJECTED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

STIFF IGNITION SWITCH RIGHT FROM DAY 1 WHEN CAR WAS NEW,KEY DOES NOT FALL OUT BUT JAMS,ALSO FRONT STRUT SQEEK AND CREEK,SOUNDS LIKE A 100 YEAR OLD WAGON,SUPPOSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR STRUT TOWER BUSHING,I WAS CHARGED $410 FOR THE REPAIR IN 2005,IF ANYTHING MADE IT WORSE,I HARDLY DROVE THIS CAR IT HAS 81000 KM,APPROX 48000 MILES,CURIOUS THE HATCH LOCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN STIFF AS WELL AND THE KEY GETS STUCK,SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A LOCK PROBLEM FROM THE START,DID GM OUTSOURCE THE LOCKS LIKE TOYOTA DID WITH THE GAS PEDALS?

AFTER A YEAR OF COMPLAINTS BOTH HERE AND TO GM WITH VIDEOS PROVING MY SATURN VUE 2005 HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE, SATURN FINALLY RECALLED IT. MYSELF AND OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN THE NOTICE HOWEVER IT CAME IN A WHITE ENVELOPE WITH BLACK WRITING THAT LOOKED SIMILAR TO JUNK MAIL. ALSO I SEE IT IS NOT NOTED ON YOUR PAGE. GM HAS CONFIRMED THE RECALL WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. WHY ARE THEY NOT FOLLOWING RECALL PROTOCOL? WHY IS IT NOT LISTED ON YOUR PAGE? *TR

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A VIBRATION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED BY A GM DEALER AT NO CHARGE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. AT LEAST 4 OTHER ATTEMPTS TO HAVE GM REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE REFUSED BY GM DEALERS EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR BULLETIN WAS EXTENDED INTO 2015. NOT SATISFIED I CONTACTED SOMEONE AT GM AND ASKED FOR A REFERRAL TO ANOTHER DEALER IN MY LOCAL AREA. I RECEIVED IT AND TOOK IT THE REFERRED DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE VIBRATION ISSUE BUT SAID THAT BEFORE ANYTHING COULD BE DONE THE ENGINE BLOCK MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROX. $1000. I THANKED THEM AND TOOK THE CAR TO MY TRUSTED REGULAR MECHANIC. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK THE ENGINE MOUNTS (WITHOUT TELLING HIM WHAT HAPPENED AT THE...

FIRST OCCURRENCE - JULY 21, 2008 AT 35734 MILES: THE IGNITION KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED AFTER IT WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION NOR COULD IT BE TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY OR START POSITION. SATURN OF TROY, MI REPLACED THE HOUSING, IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEYS. COST WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. 2ND OCCURRENCE - JUNE 21, 2011 AT 57550 MILES: REPEAT OF 1ST OCCURRENCE. SUBURBAN CADILLAC BUICK OF TROY, MI REPLACED THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND KEYS. SINCE I HAD PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY, MY COST WAS $100.00. 3RD OCCURRENCE - SEPTEMBER 28, 2012 AT 63,597MILES: INTERMITTENTLY IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT A LOT OF JIGGLING AND FORCE. TECHNICIAN AT SUBURBAN CADILLAC BUICK STATED THAT WE WERE NOT TURNING THE KEY FAR ENOUGH TO RELEASE IT FROM THE IGNITION. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN AT THAT TIME. 4TH OCCURRENCE - NOVEMBER 3, 2014 AT 75778 MILES: AFTER...

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SINCE WE'VE HAD IT. AT FIRST WE COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION, HAD TO JIGGLE STEERING COLUMN TO REMOVE KEY. HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH CLEANED. NOW KEY JUST FALLS OUT OF IGNITION WHILE RUNNING. IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET ANYONE'S ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER SINCE SATURN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ROHRMANS IN LAFAYETTE, IN. USE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PROBLEMS WITH IT, WHEN SATURN WENT OUT G.M. DIRECTED US TO DEFOUWS IN LAFAYETTE. WE HAD A 2003 SATURN BEFORE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT, SO PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OVERALL FOR LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LOCK CYLINDER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. ALSO WILL SOMETIMES JAM AND NOT ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF THE KEY WITHOUT RESETTING THE LOCK CYLINDER TO THE LOCK POSITION. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT GM HAS ISSUED RECALL# 14506 FOR 2003 SATURN VUE'S. CONTACT WITH GM DEALER CONFIRMS THE PROBLEM. GM EXECUTIVE CUSTOMER RELATIONS REFUSES TO OFFER ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THE AGE AND MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE ABOVE RECALL#14506 SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2005 SATURNS AS WELL. *TR

KEY WILL COME OUT OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. THE KEY IS NOT LOCKED INTO IGNITION AT ALL. *TR

TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS TO GET THE IGNITION FIXED. I COULD PULL THE KEY OUT WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IT BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE KEY TO TURN ON THE CAR IT GOT TO POINT WHERE IT WOULD NOT TURN AND WORE THE KEY DOWN. AS I STATED - THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS NOT A CHEAP FIX. *TR

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

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...

ON MY 2005 SATURN VUE, THE KEY CAN BE PULLED OUT OF THE SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION, AND ALSO THE SWITCH IS GETTING VERY HARD TO TURN TO START OR TO SHUT OFF. *TR

MY KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN I AM DRIVING. *TR

THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE KEY WILL FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER I AM STOPPED AND PARKED, THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER SEIZES UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE KEY UNTIL AFTER I HAVE ALMOST EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS TO GET IT OUT, IE. SHAKING KEYS, BANGING ON IGNITION HOUSING, AND FINALLY HAVING TO USE FORCE AND ALMOST BREAKING THE KEY OFF IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK. AFTER LEAVING IT PARKED OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY TRYING TO START MY CAR, THE KEY IS HARD TO GET INTO THE CYLINDER AND HARD TO TURN IT TO THE RUN POSITION, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT AT ANYTIME IT'S IN THE RUN POSITION. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK ISSUE THE SAME AS I...

AFTER INITIAL START, THE CAR KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN. TO SWITCH OFF THE MOTOR, THE KEY MUST BE REINSERTED AS USUAL. THERE IS NO RESISTANCE IN REMOVING THE KEY WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK, I ENTERED MY CAR, PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE KEY. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. THE IGNITION WAS LOCKED AND THERE WAS NO UNLOCKING IT. I CALLED SEVERAL TOW COMPANIES AS THIS HAD HAPPENED A YEAR EARLIER AND A TOW COMPANY CAME OUT, SPRAYED THE IGNITION WITH WD-40 AND IT TURNED RIGHT AWAY. I TRIED THE WD-40 BEFORE CALLING THE TOW COMPANY AND IT DID NOTHING. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, HE HAD MADE A STATEMENT THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS A LOT WITH THESE SUV'S. HE GOT THE KEY INTO THE AUXILIARY POSITION AND HIT IT THE KEY WITH THE HARD END OF A BUTT OF A KNIFE. THIS MADE THE IGNITION SLIP TO THE "ON" POSITION. I COULD THEN TURN THE KEY AND START THE TRUCK. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE THIS IGNITION REPLACED. I...

KEYS GET STUCK IN IGNITION NOT ALWAYS INTERMITTENT AND FOR NO REASON 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. *TR

HAD KEY IN IGNITION CAR WAS RUNNING IN THE ON POSITION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE KEY OUT. *TR

I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING. ALSO, THERE ARE TIMES THE IGNITION WILL PHYSICALLY NOT TURN SO THAT I CAN CRANK THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE IN DRIVE AND THE CAR DIDN'T SHUT OFF. SINCE THEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION. THE KEY NEEDS TO BE WIGGLED AND PLAYED WITH TO TURN THE CAR ON EVERY TIME I WANT TO START IT. THE 2005 VUE NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. *TR

THE IGNITION KEY BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN ON I HAD TO WIGGLE KEY AROUND TO FINALLY GET IT TO TURN. SINCE THAT TIME THE KEY HAS TO BE WIGGLED AROUND EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO START THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE KEY CAN BE PULLED OUT WITHOUT SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY SLOT REALIGNED IN ORDER TO PLACE THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. THE KEY HAS ALSO FALLEN OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

IT IS DIFFICULT/CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, OR TO EVEN TURN IT ALL OF THE WAY TO THE "OFF" POSITION. THE KEY IS EASILY REMOVED IF THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING. *TR

WE CAN EASILY PULL THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. WE HAVE A 2005 SATURN VUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS BUT I JUST LISTED THE LATEST DATE AND TIME. WE CAN PULL OUT THE KEY AT ANY TIME. *TR

MY SON CURRENTLY DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND HE MENTIONED THAT THE KEY WILL COME OF THE IGNITION WITH THE ENGINE IN THE RUNNING MODE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT HANDLES THE GM IGNITION RECALLS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL IN THE RECALL LIST AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN VUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE KEY HOWEVER, THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 9/29/14*CN

THE KEY BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE CAR ON. I HAD TO JIGGLE FOR SOME TIME TO GET IT TO WORK. THESE TIMES HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE FREQUENT AND MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE KEY. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY ONCE IT WAS STARTED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN. I FOUND THIS OUT BY CHANCE AND NOW IT JUST SLIDES IN AND OUT WHEN RUNNING!!! WELL IT FINALLY HAPPENED AND NO MATTER HOW HARD OR HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TRIED, THE KEY WON'T WORK AT ALL. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED IN THE MORNING TO HAVE THIS FIXED NOW. *TR

KEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR STILL BE ON AND RUNNING AND OR BEING DRIVEN. AT ANY TIME AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE KEY CAN TAKEN OUT AND IT NOT AFFECT THE RUNNING OF THE CAR AT ALL. IT ALSO IS HARD TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR. YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY AROUND BEFORE IT RECOGNIZES THE KEY AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY TURN TO BE ABLE TO START THE CAR. *TR

SINCE I HAVE HAD MY 2005 SATURN VUE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. MY SHIFTING LINKAGE HAS GONE OUR SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING ME IN WHATEVER GEAR I'M IN. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH THREE (3) TIMES! COMING DOWN A HILL AT 50MPH MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 5TH TO 2ND! THAT BLEW MY CLUTCH! ($2000) MY LINKAGE WAS FIXED (THEORETICALLY) BY THREE DEALERSHIPS WHICH DID NOT LAST. ONE ONLY SIX (6) MONTHS! MY 5TH GEAR AND REVERSE DISAPPEARED IN MARCH OF 2014 ($1600) THEN AGAIN MY LINKAGE CABLES WOULDN'T WORK ($448) AND I HAD THEM REPLACED.FINALLY MY SHIFTING FORK FOR THREE (3) GEARS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THAT WAS ANOTHER $336! ON TOP OF ALL THIS MY IGNITION, AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THIS CAR, I BOUGHT IT NEW, MY KEY WOULD FALL OUT IF MY KNEE HIT IT. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING! IF I TURNED THE KEY...

KEY FALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING. HARD TO TURN CAR OFF AND ON. HAVE HAD CAR TURN OFF AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AFTER THE KEY FELL OUT. LOCKED UP THE STEERING AND BRAKES. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $600 TO REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY WHAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE FOR THE CARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. PLEASE MAKE THEM INCLUDE SATURN VUE, AS THE PART IS THE SAME THAT'S BEEN RECALLED ON THE ION. *TR

WIFE REMOVED KEY FROM IGNITION WHILE THE IGNITION WAS IN THE ON POSITION. *TR

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. I CONTACTED GM ON JUNE 19, 2014 AT 1 800 222 1020 AND TALKED TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE INDICATED THE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP BUT THE REPAIR WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE COVERED. I LET HER KNOW THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE SATURN IONS ARE EXPERIENCING WHICH ARE PART OF THE RECALL. WHY AREN'T THE 2005 SATURN VUE'S PART OF THE RECALL? IT APPEARS FROM READING OTHER VUE'S OWNER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. *TR

IGNITION WILL NOT START THE ENGINE KEY APPEARS TO BE STUCK. THE KEY CAN BE EASILY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR?S ENGINE IS ON. I HAVE HAD TO PLAY WITH THE KEY FOR UP TO FIVE MINUTES IN ORDER TO START THE CAR. *TR

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT. OTHER TIMES IT FALLS OUT OF IGNITION WHILE CAR IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

DUE TO PROBLEMS INSERTING AND REMOVING IGNITION KEY, I HAD THE KEY CYLINDER REPLACED. THE COST WAS $254.04. THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM GM REPLACED THE KEY CYLINDER ON MY 2006 SATURN ION UNDER THE RECALL AT NO COST TO ME. I CONTACTED GM THROUGH THEIR RECALL WEBSITE AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL OR COMPENSATION FOR MY 2005 SATURN WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN THE NATIONAL RECALL ON MY ION. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT. *TR

I WAS LOOKING AT THE RECENT RECALLS FOR SATURN AND NOTICED MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE KEY FALLING OUT OF THE IGNITION. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SUFFERANCE AND THE SHOP OFFERED NO SOLUTION ONLY SPRAY WITH WD 40. BOTH KEY DO THE SAME AND AGAIN NO EXTRA WEIGHT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE KEY APART FROM THE DOOR LOCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I PUT MY HAND ON THE IGNITION KEY AND IT CAME OUT IN MY HAND. I THOUGHT THAT THE KEY MAY BE WORN, SO I USED MY SPARE AND AFTER ABOUT A MONTH IT DID THE SAME THING. IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY SAFETY ISSUES, BUT IT MAY CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. *TR

THE KEY WILL NO LONGER TURN IN THE IGNITION. IT'S AS IF I AM USING THE WRONG KEY ENTIRELY. IT HAS STRANDED ME NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

STARTING APPROX 3 YEARS AND 30K MILES AGO THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TIGHTLY HOLD THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER. APPROX 2 YEARS AGO THE IGNITION KEY WITH CONNECTED KEY RING FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND ONTO THE VEHICLE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND ACT NORMALLY. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF WITHOUT USING THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE COLUMN LOCKED. WE NOW DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY THE IGNITION KEY AND SMALL KEY RING ATTACHED TO MINIMIZE ANY WEIGHT ON THE KEY. ..UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/12/2014 *JS

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE DEC 2013, THE KEY WOULD EJECT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE IT IS COMPLETELY TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, THE KEY WOULD NEED TO BE FORCED BACK INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH TO ACTIVATE THE SWITCH BY FORCING TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND THEN CAREFULLY TURNING IT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION TO SUCCESSFULLY EJECT THE KEY. MOST RECENTLY ON MARCH 1ST, 2014, WHILE DRIVING, MY HAND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY AND THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WHILE THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45MPH. *TR
