2005 Saturn Vue electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2005 Saturn VUE. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ignition key fell out of the ignition switch and the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that the key failed to fit back in the ignition switch. The contact turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the parts were discontinued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.”

“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.”

“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 GM. *TR”

“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.”
