Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“I was driving taking a right turn when the steering wheel locked and would not turn further, I drive into the other lane. I then decided to get into a parking lot, seconds later the steering wheel locked again and I had to get the car towed to my house.”
NHTSA complaint #11325623, filed 2020-05, 181,974 miles“I was pulling out of a parking lot (turning right) onto street. The power steering failed causing me to swing wide into middle lane instead of nearest lane to curb. Car traveling in middle lane had to brake and swerve to avoid hitting me. The power steering is failing intermittently on this car, especially in low speed situations.”
NHTSA complaint #10618505, filed 2014-08, 106,000 miles“My air bag light has come on numerous times in the past year when my gas goes down below a half tank. Steering becomes a bit more stiff when the light is on. It does eventually go out. When I am in and out of the car several times throughout the day the light will all of a sudden come on. My brakes act strangely when the light is on. I have had my brakes done so I know they are okay. It worries me that the airbag just randomly comes on.”
NHTSA complaint #10648886, filed 2014-10, 80,448 miles“The steering wheel jerked and then I was no longer able to steer the vehicle. Fortunately I was just pulling out of a driveway. I kept trying to turn the car, but the steering wheel would not turn. I tried to search for bulletins/recalls, but the Saturn VUE was not an option in your models of saturns.”
