Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The key can come out when the car is running. This is the same problem they have a recall on for 2002-2004 Saturn veus. This has been happening since 2015 when I bought the car. Also I have reported in the past that the ignition turns off while driving which can be fatal in traffic. I have had my ignition switch hard wired to a switch on the dash.”

NHTSA complaint #11076428, filed 2018-03, 89,000 miles

“Driving on the road and freeway, the dashboard lights and radio go out and I loose power steering, this is an ongoing and sporadic problem. Took it to the dealer and they could not replicate the problem. They recommended to replace the both battery cables, I replace them but continue to have the problem, I believe it is an ignition switch problem, but there is no recall on my VIN number”

NHTSA complaint #11280521, filed 2019-11, 190,200 miles

“Key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the off position and while driving the car. When I was driving the key fell from the ignition and the car was still running...I was able to put the key back in the ignition. This has happened on several occasions and I can pull the key from the ignition while the car is running.”

NHTSA complaint #10594916, filed 2014-05, 52,000 miles

“My driver side window doesn't go down unless I slam the door. The air bag light on the passenger side goes on when no one is in the passenger seat. Sometimes the traction control light will stay on. The check engine light goes on and off at strange times. The oil change light keeps going on when the oil has just been changed.”

NHTSA complaint #10620832, filed 2014-08, 135,000 miles

“Ignition key fell out of ignition while vehicle was in motion. It has happened several times since over the years. It can easily be removed from the ignition even when in the park position. Key can come out of ignition no matter if the key is new, a copy, or showing any wear. I have never kept anything other than one house key and the manufacturer's fab attached since I first took ownership of this vehicle.”
