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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 updated 06/12/2014

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.

The contact owns a 2005 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that the ignition would lock and he could not turn to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the ignition housing and ignition switch. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him that due to the age and the mileage on the vehicle, they would not reimburse him for the repairs and offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was 93,000.

Anti theft device on my 2005 Saturn Vue disables the vehicle while driving.

- Pryor, OK, USA

The car suffered an ignition module failure that resulted in $1700 worth of damage to the exhaust system. Only two of the four cylinders were firing. This defect has been noted by Saturn Vue owners as early as in the 2002 models. My husband, an electrical engineer, said that the defect was due to bad engineering that could have been corrected. My suspicion leaned toward "planned obsolescence" since many Vue owners had complained about this very same "malfunction". I contacted both Saturn and GM hq to legally file my complaint as well. Extra note: Two other people in my family had experienced the exact same problem with their Saturn around 60,000 miles. One had it repaired (out-of-pocket) over a year ago and now has the same ignition module failure at 67,000 miles.
