As for the noise, ours always did it when it worked properly. Before ours jammed, it would occassionally not make the noise, and I think that was part of the problem. We noticed a few times (when it didn't make the noise) that the door would ding when we opened it, as if we had left the key in the ignition. Since the repair, it has worked fine and always "plinged". (that's a good word to describe the noise )

I can't believe this. I bought a 2007 Saturn Vue 2 years ago last month and now I have to pay over 500 dollars to get the entire ignition replaced. Same problem, key would not turn the ignition. What a rip-off. No wonder GM is filing for bankruptcy. I know I'll never buy another GM car! Replies to this message: city_living (Nov 24, 2009 10:38 am)

I didn't receive 100% of the monies paid, maybe around 85%, but so glad to get rid of this piece of &%#&^! Good luck to all who have this problem vehicle. Be Safe!!
