ON 11/9/2015 MY SUV ENGINE CUT OFF AND I LOST ALL POWER TO OPERATE IT. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP ON TWO OCCASIONS ON THE SAME DAY AND COULD NOT CONTINUE NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 11/10/2015.

WHILE DRIVING, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON FROM TIME TO TIME. THE SIGNAL LIGHT INSIDE THE CAR MAY SHOW, BUT NOT INDICATED OUTSIDE. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CABIN LIGHT FLUTTER, DIM AND THEN RETURN TO FULL BRIGHTNESS. THE RADIO MAY STOP WORKING AND " TING, TING" SOUND MAY COME ON WITH THE DASH BOARD PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED MOMENTARILY. THIS CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY THE DEALER AND I HAVE REPORTED ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. SINCE IT OCCURS VERY OFTEN, I HAVE INDICATED THE DATE OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE. THANKS

WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE THE KEY WON'T TURN TO START THE CAR. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TIMES. CALLED AAA TO START IT. MECHANIC HAD HARD TIME STARTING THE VEHICLE. HAS TO PUSH ON BRAKE SO HARD THAT I CAN'T DO IT. HE SAID THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. HE HAD DIFFICULT TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I WANT THIS REPORTED AND SOMETHING DONE. SOMETHING IS DEFECTIVE. ALSO THE BUMPER PAINT IS ALL CHIPPED WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE BODY THE WHOLE WAY AROUND ON ONE BUMPER. THIS IS A DEFECT ALSO. NO WAY SHOULD THESE TWO PROBLEMS BE HAPPENING!! I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG PROBLEM?

SINCE MY 2013 CHEVY CAPTIVA TOOK THE PLACE OF THE SATURN VUE WHEN SATURN SHUT DOWN. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT SINCE MY CAPTIVA IS EXCLUSIVELY SOLD TO FLEET CONSUMERS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT BEING OVERLOOKED ON THIS IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PROGRAM SINCE IT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PONTIAC G5 AND CHEVY COBALT IGNITION SWITCH? *TR
