2006 SATURN VUE Seats Problems

TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON . THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID MY PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED OR GET THE SENSOR FOR THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY THE DON'T MAKE THE PIECES FOR THE CAR ANYMORE . YOU HAVE TO GO TO A JUNK YARD , BUT EVEN THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ANY OF THE PIECES.

ALL FOUR HEAD LIGHTS OUT OF NOWHERE JUST STARTED TO FLASH AND IT WENT FROM A FLASH TO OUT NOT COMING ON AT ALL AND I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES RELAYS AND LIGHTBULBS JUST DRIVING DOWN A DRY ROAD NO WATER AT ALL

2096 SATURN VUE, WITH FRONT SEAT HEATERS. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT LIT, DIAGNOSTIC CODE BC092. REPLACEMENT PART 15785010 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE PER DEALERSHIP. AFTER RECONNECTING WIRING(LEFT DISCONNECTED BY DEALERSHIP) AND TURNING PASSENGER HEATER SWITCH ON, ERROR CODE COULD BE CLEARED TO TURN OFF WARNING LIGHT. WHILE OFF, PASSENGER DETECTION WORKS OK AND PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ACTIVATED. IT ONLY STAYS FIXED FOR LESS THAN A DAY. HAS LEFT THE ERROR LIGHT LIT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED FOR OVER A YEAR. NOTICE ABOUT 100 OR SO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 2006 SATURN VUE'S HERE; I WONDER IF THE EQUIVALENT CHEVY SUVS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT IN DRIVE WITH BRAKES APPLIED NOT MOVING,1989 CHEVY PICK UP TRUCK ,HIT MY BACK BUMPER,THE LIGHT ON MY DASH INDICATED THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED,AND A LIGHT ON MY DASH SAID PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF,THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER KENDALL OF NAMPA IDAHO,THEY SAID CODE# BOO92 5256 CAME UP AND THEY SAID THE HEATING ELEMENT FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WENT OUT (NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT , AND I NEVER USE THE HEATED SEATS ) THE DEALER SAID THE HEATED SEATS ARE CONNECTED TO MY AIR BAGS AND MY AIR BAGS CAN'T BE TURNED ON UNTIL THE HEAT ELEMENT FOR THE SEAT IS REPAIRED. I THOUGHT THAT A FEDERAL LAW WAS PASSED IN THE EARLY 1990'S THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS TO BE ON IT'S OWN CIRCUIT SO IT CAN NOT BE...

1ST ISSUE. BOTH HEATED SEATS WENT OUT. THEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SOMETIMES GOES OFF EVEN WITH PASSENGER SITTING IN CHAIR. I CAN RESET AIRBAG WITH PASSENGER HEATED SEAT BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGER. KEY SWITCH LOCKS AND I HAVE TO JIGGLE STEERING WHEEL TO RELEASE.

PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR DEFECTIVE. INDICATOR LIGHT SAYS AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN WHEN OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. WHEN SEAT-BELT IS UNBUCKLED, DOES NOT INDICATE PASSENGER IS UNBUCKLED AS PROGRAMMED. ABLE TO CLEAR PROBLEM BY UNBUCKLING, RAISING UP OUT OF SEAT, FORCIBLY SITTING DOWN, AND RE-BUCKLING.

ON 1-19-2015 I STARTED MY CAR (AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 2 DAYS/IT WAS VERY COLD) AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD, RADIO, BLINKER SIGNALS, ALL BEGAN FLASHING. IT WOULD STOP FOR A SECOND AND START AGAIN, DURING THIS TIME THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CONK OUT, BUT DIDN'T. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE FLASHING WOULD GO FASTER. ALSO THE SEAT CONTROLS AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS FINE. THAT SAME THING HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 4-5 MORE TIMES, LASTING 5-10 MINUTES EACH TIME. THE CAR HAS ONLY STOPPED RUNNING 1 TIME (LUCKILY IN FRONT OF HOME) AND STARTED FINE THE NEXT DAY. TOOK VIDEO AND WENT TO LOCAL MECHANIC. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR (BOTH FINE-NO $ CHARGE), ALSO CHECKED RECALLS FOR CAR (NOTHING). TOLD...

LAST YEAR MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND FINALLY STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT INDICATE IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT ( I HAVE HEATED SEATS). THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND I CANNOT AFFORD IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN NECESSARY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF THIS IS CAUSED BY A SHORT SOMEWHERE, MY HEATED SEAT MAY CATCH FIRE. I DO NOT USE THE HEAT FOR THIS REASON. RECENTLY WE ARE EXPERIENCING A KEY IGNITION PROBLEM. MY HUSBANDS KEY, IN PARTICULAR, DOES NOT TURN CORRECTLY. THIS IS OF CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL JUST LOCK UP AND NOT START. I DO NOT...

I HAVE A 2006 SATURN VUE AND I HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. WHEN I HAD A CAR WRECK EITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON. I HAD TO PAY 596.00 TO REPLACE MY KEY IGNITION AND SOMETIMES IT STILL STICKS. MY DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE REAR HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. I SEE THAT THEY ARE RECALLING OTHER SATURNS BUT NOT MINES. *TR

IN MAY 2014, MY 2006 SATURN VUE AWD'S PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED TO INDICATE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT INDICATOR, SIGNALED OFF, AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. EVER SINCE THEN, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS REMAINED IN THE OFF POSITION, EVEN WITH A PASSENGER. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 SATURN VUE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS HAVE ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD, ESPECIALLY THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THIS WARNING LIGHT APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY AND I ALSO LOST THE ILLUMINATION OF MY DASHBOARD ONE EVENING. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, HE BELIEVES THAT AIR BAG LIGHT IS TRIGGERED WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED TO ANOTHER POSITION. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH THE SYSTEM. AS SOMEONE WHO DRIVES PRIMARILY ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TODAY, I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY OTHER 2006 SATURN VUE OWNERS HAVE THIS VERY SAME COMPLAINT! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE? *TR

THE AIR BAG FAILURE SENSOR LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH - INDICATING AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILURE. THE HEATED SEATS NO LONGER FUNCTION. HOWEVER AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE HEATED SEAT SWITCH ON - THE AIR BAG FAILURE SENSOR WILL NOT LIGHT, INDICATING THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. AS SOON AS WE TRY TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE HEATED SEAT SWITCH ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON INDICATING SYSTEM FAILURE. MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT WE NEED NEW HEATED SEATS AT A COST OF OVER $1500. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES CURRENTLY ON IT. REPORTED TO GM 12/2/2013 WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THE PROBLEM YET WE SEE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME BIZARRE CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

WE RARELY HAVE PUT THE REAR SEAT IN THE FOLDED DOWN POSITION BUT DID SO THIS PAST WEEKEND TO BRING HOME SOME BABY GEAR FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE SEAT BACK TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION IT WOULDN'T RAISE. IT APPEARS THAT THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT LOCKED AND WILL NOT RELEASE. WE HAVE THREE (3) CHILDREN AND MUST HAVE ALL THREE (3)SEAT BELTS USABLE. WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH FOR HELP AND WE FOUND MANY INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON MULTIPLE YEAR SATURNS WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW; YET WE WILL BE LIABLE FOR THE EXPENSE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED UNLESS WE CAN FIND A WAY TO RELEASE THE LOCKING MECHANISM. *JS
