What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 saturn vue. The contact stated while traveling approximately 20 MPH attempting to avoid crashing into another vehicle, the contact had to apply force to the brakes and the steering wheel locked. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle crashing into a metal ground wire which flipped the vehicle over. A police report was filed no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to a body repair shop. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
The key will no longer turn in the ignition. It's as if I am using the wrong key entirely. It has stranded me numerous times.
