2006 Saturn Vue locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1) leading events - purchased the car in 2009 used from a certified dealer, was provided with 2 separate sets of keys. Within the first 6 months of driving I noticed increased difficulty in starting the car with the keys provided. Alerted dealer and was given another set of keys. 2) failure - key to ignition frequently sticks and stays in the ignition while car is running. Also have identified that the steering wheel frequently locks which makes it even more difficult to start the ignition. 3) initially I was given a replacement key from the dealer that worked on and off. The car will be turned in for service this weekend to determine what the defect is if any on the car. Estimated cost $250-$500.
I was unable to open my drivers side door from both the outside and the from inside of the vehicle. I called the dealer in my city, they were able to replace the door latch. I was told that this is a common problem with the saturn vue, so I was surprised that I was charged for the replacement.
Rear doors fail to latch. Happened to both rear doors on separate occasions, both times with children in the backseat.

The 2006 saturn vue had an exhaust bolt broke when taken to dealership at scottsdale saturn. The bolt was connected to the exhaust manifold up by the engine. They said it must have broke off but I didn't believe them. So it would have cost to much at the dealership and took it somewhere else to get it fixed, but still think saturn should have fixed it for free. I think it should be a recall because they saturn said the bolt was so hot that it broke off. Also the ignition switch started giving me problems now and the keys are ok, it's the ignition switch and there should be a recall on that to. Alot of people with 2006 vue saturns are having the exhaust problems and ignition problems. What could you people do for all of us. Please help, thank you.
We bought a saturn vue in june of 2006. 2 months after we purchased the vue we had to bring it in for exhaust and converter and oxidation replacement. Then 2 weeks later we had to have the ignition lock cylinders replaced we could not start our truck. Then in 07 we had the converter and manifold replaced. We were told that the manifold was torqued to much from the manufacture. Then june of this year same issue with the exhaust and converter again. Say the replaced a spring in the converter.
