Saturn will not ever use the term recall. I can only hope enough complaints to Saturn headquarters will get them to recall their problem cars. We have a 2004 Ion 2 and we never had the slightest problem. I must warn you without the power steering it is really difficult to steer. It will allow you to drive home or in a better location. Your still not out of trouble as the power steering, instrument lights and gauges Do that a dozen or more times and the engine will start. Keep trying to start the car it will turn over but not run for more then a second. If you are in an place where no help is available to remove the ground battery and the harness to the fuses and you do not have the tools. The reason our cars refuse to run is the vehicles fuel pump will not function plus the ECM module will not allow the engine to be started. It is one of the three computer modules that control everything electrical in our cars. I've experienced the interior light will not extinguish, the security system is dead as is the gauges and the On Star system. Our problem occurs about every three to five weeks. The technician in our case can find an error code but it only gives him a I believe the problem is the ECM does not reset to the manufactures ignition mode. Then replace the ground cable and the vehicles wiring harness and wait to the next time it refuses to start. The cure is simple either insist they exchange our cars under the lemon law or remove the cables off the negative battery terminals for a minute. What you described is exactly what our 2006 The only reason we purchased it was due to it had a manual transmission & they are getting harder to find. This is the first Saturn I've owned and it will be the last at this rate of issues. This dealership just called they are going to replace the Body Control Module.īack during the summer I also had to have the key ignition switched replaced due to issues of it locking/sticking. Again had to be hauled in however this time it was taken to a different Saturn dealership due it was closer to my work. This time I was at work when it happened. We are having the same issue again & the keyless remote will not work as well. They charged the battery & put a new OnStar antenia on the back to fix the issues. I don't go along with what they told us it was but what can you say. They had it a week before they said it was fixed. The vechile ended up having to be towed around 60 miles to the dealership. He even noticed the mirror (On Star, 911, etc) features were dead. My husband tried everything he could think of to get them off however nothing worked. I was already running late for work so I just took our spare car. The car would start up then die within just a few seconds. 2007 I went out to go to work the interior lights were on. I also have a 2006 Vue that I'm having it sounds similar issues. We like the car and the dealerĦ0 miles away wants to correct the problem. If anyone has had a similar problem please post it. I am considering filing a complaint in CA, as who wants to get under the hood of a car because the dealers service can not find the problem? I now live 250 miles from the dealer who sold us this SUV. I bought the car in California and they have a lemon law. It will allow the car in an emergency to be moved. The engine will run but the power steering will not work and the instruments will not work. I learned trying to start the car a dozen times or more when it would not run Saturn has a fail safe mode. We know that removing the ground from the battery re sets the computer and the car will run and operate normally. The dealer has found error codes but they can not find the problem. That did as I expected it reset the computer and the car seem normal. When I removed the cables at the cars battery I had a feeling to put them back on and see what happens. The shop foreman drove it for a week to see if it would The interior lights between the front seats would not turn off. The third time it refused to run and the instrument electrical system has not working. They could not find any error codes so I went and picked it up. It was hauled 60 miles back to the dealer. The same problem the engine would not stay running. It started and drove normal until a month later. The Vue was OK when I picked it up the following day. It was hauled 60 miles to a Saturn dealer. I noticed the On Star system was not working and the instrument gauges were also dead. The motor kicked over but would not stay running. Three months ago our 2006 2.2L Vue was at a gas station. Lemon I'm driving? The battery is not the problem. :lemon: I hope no one has suffered through the same problem and can tell me if this is a
