2006 Saturn Vue Problems

The key can be removed from the vehicle while being driven. Also the ignition doesn't "click" off when vehicle is parked and key is removed causing the battery to drain. There have been several recalls for this issue but not with the 2006 year model. This is a dangerous problem and there are very limited resources to get it resolved.

ignition gets stuck with key and locks steering wheel, now it wont shut off all the way to left and kills my battery looks like there has been MANY ignition issues and recalls with saturns which this is pretty important to have working to drive and be safe esp as a female in this world ..getting stuck or with a dead battery isnt good $300-400 at a gmc to fix this issue I feel personally this should be considered a recall fix

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

The contact owns a 2006 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving 35 MPH, the vehicle shuddered violently. The contact's daughter lost control of the vehicle and drove off the road before coming to a complete stop. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 89,973. The VIN was unavailable.

My car is very rusted out,underneath the body and no one will work on my car because they feel it's a hazard to drive and work on. I went to an iron works shop and mechanic said it's a common problem with Saturn Vue's,I took it back to where I bought it because they knew it before I bought it . All they wanted to do was put me ina sports car,my car is a hazard to drive it plus I have 1 more year to pay for it. Seems like something could be done about this

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN ADDITION TO THE 284 HOWEVER, THIS CONCERNS UNIBODY RUST TO THE FRONT K MEMBER CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE AND FAILING INSPECTION. THE CAR WAS UNDER COATED. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND BODY SHOP, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. REPAIR ESTIMATES EXCEED $10K. WHAT CAN NHTSA DO TO CORRECT TO CORRECT THIS MFR DEFECT. THE CAR SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH VERY LITTLE USE.

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO THOUGHT I NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS. IT TURNS OUT THAT MY WHOLE FRAME IS RUSTED. IT CANNOT BE FIXED. I'M LUCKY THE ENGINE DIDN'T FALL OUT. EVERYTHING IS ELSE IS WORKING FINE AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT.

THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON AND IT'S HARD TO STEER I LOSE POWER STEERING. *TR

ON MY 2006 SATURN VUE I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT BREAKING SYSTEM. PLUS THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BREAKING SYSTEM WITH LESS THAN 44,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM THAT THERE NO WARNING SYSTEM ON IT AT ALL. THE VEHICLE JUST STOP AND WOULD NOT GO AT ALL. IT JUST STOP DEAD. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPEN, BECAUSE I WAS JUST GOING AND IT JUST STOP COMPLETE AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. TO ME THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THESE ISSUE WITH THE BREAKING SYSTEM DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM EITHER. THAT IT INVOLVES VEHICLES FROM 2004 -2009. BECAUSE OF THEM USING CHEAPER PRODUCTS.

THIS HAPPEN ON 2 DIFFERENT DATE. THE FIRST THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 39,111 MILES ON VEHICLE ON 8/14/2018. THEN THE THING THAT HAPPEN IS THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO AT ALL. ENGINE WOULD RUN BUT WOULD MOVE UNTIL IT COOLED OFF THEN IT DID IT AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT BREAKING SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF FAULTY PRODUCTS USED. BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE CALIPERS, HOSES AND ALL FLUIDS. THE THAT DID NOT WORK TOOK ANOTHER 2 WEEKS FOR THEM REDO THEM AGAIN BECAUSE ON GOING PROBLEMS HAS BEEN GOING WITH 2004-2009 SATURN'S. WHICH COST ME AROUND $1214.59.

My car is very rusted out,underneath the body and no one will work on my car because they feel it's a hazard to drive and work on. I went to an iron works shop and mechanic said it's a common problem with Saturn Vue's,I took it back to where I bought it because they knew it before I bought it .

Stability Bar / Stabilizer Bar broke on the passenger side. Upon going to the salvage yard we found in almost all the same vehicles were broke in the same area on the same passenger side.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR STEPPED DOWN ON ACCELERATOR A LITTLE HARDER IN ORDER TO PASS SOMEBODY AND THE THROTTLE STUCK WIDE OPEN ENGINE WAS RACING CAR WAS SPEEDING UP. I TRIED TO USE THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE INSUFFICIENT I SHIFTED THE CAR TO NEUTRAL PULL OVER AND THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF WHEN I START IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. I DO NOT WISH TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THIS IS FIXED

DURNING AFTER PURCHASE ... MY SATURN VUE STARTED TURNING OFF DURING DRIVING ... ALSO TURING CORNER NOW TIMING BELT HAS SLIP AWAY COMPLETLY STOP THE CAR FROM RUNING. OR CRAMPING AND STARTING.

WHILE DRIVE SOUTHBOUND IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I-95 DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHAKE IN THE STEERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS BEFORE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO FISHTAIL TOWARDS THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS ON BOTH SIDES OF ME. I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE BRAKE AND PLACED MY VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD.

MY CARS HUBCAPS HAVE FELL OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND J CAN'T FIND A SIZE THAT FITS 2 OF THEM SO I DON'T HAVE ANY. MY IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK WHILE PARKED AND I'VE BEEN LOCKED OUT IF MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT WON'T TURN AT ALL AND I HAVE TO LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRY TO JIGGY THE KEY FOREVER. THE KEY DOESN'T TURN ALL THE WAY TO THE OFF SWITCH AND THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE DRIVING. NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T UP. I USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THE THING POPS UP BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN AND SINCE I ONLY HAVE ONE DOOR WITH A KEY HOLE ALL THE OTHER DOORS STAY LOCKED AS WELL. SO I'VE SPENT HUNDREDS ON LOCKSMITHS OR I HAVE TO KEEP PULLING THE HANDLE OR BANGING ON THE DOOR OR MY HUSBAND PUSHES THE DOOR AN SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR. THIS IS EMBARRASSING AND FRUSTRATING AS WELL AS DANGEROUS SINCE J CAN'T LOCK MY DOORS. SOMETIMES WHEN I LEAVE THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEY LOCK ON THEIR OWN AFTER I WALK AWAY. I HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR TO GET IN WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WON'T OPEN. THIS CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN!

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.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006, 6 CYLINDER SATURN VUE. JAN 2011 I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED SATURN DEALER. LANNAN CHEVROLET IN LOWELL, MA BECAUSE THE COOLANT LIGHT WAS ON. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE COOLANT HAD TO BE FLUSHED, I GOT THIS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. AUGUST 11, 2011 I WAS COMING OUT OF BOSTON AND AT A FEW RED LIGHTS THE ENGINE DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GO. AS I WAS EXITING THE TUNNEL GOING ONTO THE ZACOME BRIDGE MY CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER AND DIED IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND CALL 911. I WAS TOLD TO STAY IN MY CAR AND KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. PEOPLE WERE BEEPING AND I WAS SCARED I WOULD DIE FROM BEING HIT. THE POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND TOLD ME I HAD TO MOVE THE CAR FROM THE SPEED LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. HE KEPT TELLING ME SHUT OFF AND START IT AGAIN, SHUT IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE IT FINALLY DIED. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR ON THE FLATBED BECAUSE THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE IGNITION TURNED AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO SOUTH BOSTON STATE POLICE BARRACKS. FROM THERE I HAD TO GET A TOW TO SOMEPLACE LOCALLY AS THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY TOW. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LANNAN CHEVROLET IN LOWELL WHERE I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING DAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I CALLED STAURN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A CLAIM. THE CAR HAS 53,076 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT WITHOUT WARNING. THE DISTRICT MANAGER OF LANNAN CHEVROLET SAID "I MUST HAVE ABUSED THE CAR AND REVVED IT" I WAS TOLD SHE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER DARYL THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY VEHICLE. SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THE CLAIM WOULD BE ESCALATED TO THE "NEXT LEVEL" AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. UPON LOOKING UP THE VEHICLE ON THE WEB I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FORM SATURN OWNERS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. GM? *KB

VEHICLE: 2006 SATURN VUE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TWICE IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE SHIFTER SEPARATED FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN GEAR. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS ON AN I-95. THE SATURN DEALERSHIP REPLACED AND END CLIP THE FIRST TIME AND THE SHIFTER CABLE THE SECOND TIME. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE OCCURRENCES ARE UNRELATED - DIFFERENT PARTS AND BALKING AT FIXING THE DEFECT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INTERNET SITES IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME FAILURE OVER SEVERAL MODEL YEARS IN THE SATURN VUE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS FAILURE - ESPECIALLY THE SECOND TIME ON I-95. *TR

I PURCHASED MY TIRES ON 3-14-10. THERE IS SUCH EXCESSIVE ROAD NOISE THAT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF A TRIP YOU WILL HAVE A SPLITTING HEAD ACHE. MY PURCHASE OF TIRES, ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY HIGH PER AND 3YR WHELEL ALIGNMENT WAS 627.45. I HAVE GONE TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED BALANCED AND ALIGNMENT REGULARLY. IT IS A BIG INCONVEIENCE TO DRIVE MY VUE BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. THIS IS TO MUCH. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UNHAPPY AND DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF TIRES I HAVE MADE LIKE I AM WITH THESE YOKOHAMA TIRES SIZE 225/65R17 102 , 31920. I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT YOKOHAMA TIRES AT THIS POINT. I CAN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION ON THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THAT NEW TIRES WOULDN'T PICK UP PUNCTURES SO EASY EITHER BUT THEY DO. I HATE MY PURCHASE AND I WILL NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY A YOKOHAMA TIRE OF ANY KIND. IT CAN'T BE THAT THE TIRES ARE WORN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WORN. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES YET. I EVEN WENT AS FAR TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY WHEELS. BEARING.. SEALS.. AND ALL AND NOTHING IS WRONG THERE. I HAVE HAD NO SATISFACTION FROM ANYONE ON THESE TIRES. NOW I FOUND THIS SITE. LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE I GET HERE. *TT

ON 5/31/2011 I HAD WORK DONE ON MY BRAKES AT A LOCAL VENDOR. AT THAT TIME, I WAS INFORMED TO GET TO A TIRE SHOP IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN AS WAS MY PLAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRES WHERE I WAS TOLD ALL 4 OF THE TIRES WERE LITERALLY SHREDDED ON THE WHITEWALL SIDE, WHICH WAS ON THE INTERIOR. THE EXACT SAME DAMAGE TO ALL 4 TIRES INDICATES THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WHEN I SAW THE STATE OF THE TIRES, MY HEART STOPPED. THESE TIRES HAVE GONE 37,900 MILES. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT NORMAL WEAR. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THESE TIRES, AND I AM JUST THANKFUL TO GOD THERE WAS NO COLLISION. I COMMUTE TO GRADUATE SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. I OFTEN HAVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR FOR CHURCH ACTIVITIES. I PURCHASED 2 NEW TIRES YESTERDAY AT A COST OF $233.00 AND CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PURCHASE 2 MORE TIRES. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND WENT OFF FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN, THE AIR BAG STATED IT WAS NOT ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK IT THE GM DEALER IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND PASSENGER SIDE HEATER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL REPORTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRING IN THIS SAME MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE REGARDING THE AIR BAG SENSOR/SEAT HEATER SENSOR. WHEN THE DEALER WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS CONCERN/REPAIR, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE, EVEN THOUGH ONLINE REPORTS STATED DIFFERENTLY. MY QUESTION IS THAT SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A REPETITIVE PROBLEM OF THE EXACT SAME NATURE WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR, WHY DID GM NOT SUBMIT A RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE AIR BAG ISSUE? ..UPDATED 04/25/13 *BF
