I have to turn the wheel back and forth several times and step on the gas a little to unlock the wheel and start the car. It's been doing this regularly since winter. I don't have any big key rings, etc., so that shouldn't be why it's doing that. Also, the airbag light comes on the passenger side when no one is sitting there. In addition, a few times my car has stalled out in traffic. There is something going on with this model year saturn vue especially since I've read many complaints of an identical nature. Please recall this year as well and get these problems fixed.
