I WAS DRIVING HOME EARLY ONE MORNING AND MY IGNITION HAD SHUT OFF LIKE IT HAD MANY TIMES BEFORE THIS TIME THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BEING SNOWY AND SLUSHY CAUSED ME TO GET STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WAS YANKED INTO THE DITCH. I HAD CALLED THE CLAIMS NUMBER AFTER MY CAR HAD SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS MAYBE LONGER AND THEY TOLD ME SINCE THE CLAIM WAS NOT FILED AS OF THE RECALL CAME OUT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. THERE IS NOTHING THAT GM CAN DO THEY WILL NOT REFUND ME FOR THE MONEY TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR, CONDENSER, AND COOLING FAN THAT I NEEDED REPAIRED AT THAT TIME TO MAKE MY VEHICLE RUN. I DID NOT HAVE MONEY AT THE TIME TO FIX THE COSMETIC DAMAGE IN THE FENDER AND THE BUMPER SO THAT IS STILL BROKEN. THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME SINCE IT WAS SO LONG AFTER THE ACIDENT THEY COULD NOT CHECK THE VEHICLES RECORDS TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE HAD ACTUALLY SHUT OFF. NOW THE REASON MY CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALER SHIP IS BECAUSE THIS TIME MY CAR WAS STUCK RUNNING THE KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION AND COULDNT BE TURNED OFF. I WOULD LIKE SOME ACTION TO BE TAKEN OR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IN ORDER TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED MY 2006 SATURN ION 3 IN 2008 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD ALL THE RECALL ISSUES HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE. 1) I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CYLINDER TWICE DUE TO THE CAR BEING UNABLE TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED IN 2008 AND AGAIN IN 2012. BOTH TIMES IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND REPAIRS WERE DONE BY GM DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED I WAS TOLD THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THOSE PARTS ARE FAULTY AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET AND WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE. 2) IN NOVEMBER 2013 MY VEHICLE SMELLED OF GAS AND WAS MAKING ME AND MY CHILDREN SICK. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS THE FUEL MODULE. THIS WAS COVERED BY A NTSB WARRANTY EXTENSION. 3) MY VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY SHUT OFF OR LOSE POWER STEERING. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2013 THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH IT IF THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. 4) THIS ISSUE IS NOT MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ HERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN ON THE INTERNET. BEGINNING IN JANUARY OF 2014 THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES IN MY VEHICLE. MY PERSONAL MECHANIC SAID THERE IS A LEAK THAT IS GOING INTO THE CABIN. MY VEHICLE IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND FEELS SHAKY. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I DO NOT HAVE A SECOND VEHICLE NOR THE MEANS TO BUY ONE. I RELY ON IT TO GET ME TO WORK AND TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON OR ABOUT 9/12/2012, I WAS DRIVING IN MY SATURN ION GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR, IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC, WHEN IN AN INSTANT MY CAR DECELERATED AND WAS AT A SLOW CRAWL. I COULD NOT GET ANY ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. I WAS ONLY A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY FROM WORK, SO I COASTED UNTIL I GOT THERE. I WAS ALMOST HIT. BUT I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. I WAS AFRAID TO TURN OFF THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT IT WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND I CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HENDERSON CHEVROLET LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER MOTHERBOARD OF THE CAR. THIS WAS REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $800.00+. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 11/20/12. THE CAR WENT FROM 30 TO 5 MILES PER HOUR IN A SPLIT SECOND! NO WARNINGS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WANT GOING ON WITH IT NOR WHY IT WAS DOING THIS. THEIR SUGGESTION TO ME WAS TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHAT MY SATURN DID IS THE SAME THING DESCRIBED IN THE IGNITION RECALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME , THERE WAS NO RECALL. NO ONE THOUGHT OF LOOKING AT THE IGNITION. WHEN I LOST POWER, MY THOUGHT WAS NOT GEE, MAYBE MY KEYS ARE TOO HEAVY & MY CAR TURNED OFF! ME SEE IF MY IGNITION TURNED OFF WHEN I WENT OVER THAT BUMP. HAD THE RECALL IGNITION PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOMETHING THAT GM WAS AWARE OF AT THE TIME AND NOTICE WAS RECEIVED, THE MECHANIC WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. BUT I REPLACED THE BRAIN OF MY CAR AT $800 WHEN IT WAS NOT NEEDED. NOT WANTING IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN (SAY ON THE FREEWAY), I TRADED IN THE CAR. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COSTS I PAID TO REPAIR MY VEHICLEWHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE RECALL. MY EXPERIENCE HAPPENED BEFORE ANYONE KNEW ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING TO THESE VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/28/14

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I FIRST BOUGHT MY 2006 SATURN ION IN MARCH OF 2013. THREE DAYS LATER I NOTICE THAT WHEN I WOULD GET ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD SWAY EXTREMELY BAD. OUR HWY SPEED IS 75. GOING 70MPH WAS TOO MUCH AND IT WOULD SWAY A LOT. MIND YOU I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. THE CAR SPUN OUT AS I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE CARS WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THANK GOD I GOT OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE I GOT HIT. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW UPSET I WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS 4MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND HAS SPUN OUT 5 TIMES DRIVING OUR CAR. WE'VE TAKING IT TO THE MECHANICS MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. OUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS ARE FINE. ALSO, OUR KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION A LOT UPON TURNING IT OFF. SO WE HAVE TO USE THE BUTTON WHICH IS IN THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO GET THEM OUT. ALSO, LATELY THE CAR PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE. LATELY I CAN FLOOR IT AND THE CAR WILL STILL BE GOING 30MPH. ALSO, LATELY WHEN WE GO TO TURN ON THE CAR, IT TAKES AWHILE AND MAKES A SOUND AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD, BUT THEN IT SOON COMES ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE START. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD BUY, BUT EVERYDAY I REGRET IT AND I FEAR FOR ME, MY HUSBAND, AND MY CHILD'S SAFETY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT JUST TAKE OUR CARS. WE DON'T NEED THEM FIXED. JUST TAKE THEM PLEASE! *TR

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, 2006 SATURN ION. WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST PURCHASE THEM FROM US AND GET THEM OFF THE ROAD? WE ARE PAYING OUT WAY MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE WORTH. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SPENDING A BUNCH THESE PAST FEW MONTHS, WOULDN'T IT BE CHEAPER JUST TO BUY THEM FROM US? I'M FED UP WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD AND THERE'S NO ONE THAT WILL BUY THESE CARS FROM US, I HAVE ADVERTISED MANY OF TIMES AND NO ONE WANTS THEM. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HIM IN MY SATURN. I AM GOING TO CALL WHOEVER I CAN TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT SOMEONE GETTING MY CAR OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I'M SO TIRED OF FEELING UNSAFE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY SATURN BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE FEELING I GET WHEN I THINK I AM GOING TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY SON IN THIS PIECE OF CRAP. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME OR GIVE ME FURTHER INFORMATION ON WHO TO CONTACT ABOUT MY SITUATION. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT [XXX]. THANK YOU AND I'LL BE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME ASAP! ! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING KEY SWITCH, TURN SIGNAL, WIPER CONTROL, ETC.) WAS LOOSE UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE REPAIRS FOR THE KEY SWITCH RECALL. THIS WAS NOT LIKE THIS PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIRS AND REPRESENTS SLOPPY WORKMANSHIP BY DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES REPAIRING THE VEHICLE OR POOR DESIGN THAT WON'T STAY TIGHT. BY THIS BEING LOOSE, THERE COULD BE DAMAGE TO THE WIRES OR THE WIRES COULD COME UNPLUGGED INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WOULD INCLUDE AIR BAG WIRES, KEY SWITCH WIRES, ETC. THERE WOULD ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY OF FIRE IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T CORRECTED AS THE WIRES COULD SHORT OUT. I BELIEVE ALL THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED SHOULD BE RECALLED AGAIN TO CHECK FOR THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THEM IF IT IS FOUND THAT IT IS LOOSE. *JS

I AM THE UNFORTUNATELY OWNER OF A GOVERNMENT MOTORS PRODUCTS THAT IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED NOW 10 NOTIFICATIONS IN ALMOST 90 DAYS DEMANDING I HAVE THIS RECALL PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY. IN THE COURSE OF NEARLY 90 DAYS, I HAVE CONTACTED 5 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING; ?WE WILL TAKE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER AND CONTACT YOU WHEN WE CAN PERFORM THE RECALL?. WHILE I UNDERSTAND WITH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, MADE WORSE BY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION INTO A PRIVATE BUSINESS, REQUIRES RECALLS AND DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF CARS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT PICKING GM AS A COMPANY TO PROMOTE, PART PRODUCTION MAY BE LIMITED, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I GET THESE LETTERS. I WOULD HAPPILY COMPLY WITH THE RECALL, AS A MATTER OF SAFETY, BUT WHEN THE DEALER REFUSES TO PROVIDE THE RECALL, I CANNOT COMPLY. THE LAST LETTER I RECEIVED WAS A POST CARD THAT IMPLIED SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES COULD RESULT AND EVEN HAD A DATE ?AS OF MAY 24TH THIS HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED.? I AM FULLY AWARE AND I HAVE NOT SPENT OVER 3 HOURS BETWEEN CALLS AND LETTERS TRYING TO COMPLY WITH THIS PSEUDO-GOVERNMENT DEMAND. PLEASE PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PROCEED. THE LAST AGENT AT GM I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO MAIL LETTERS AS THEY ARE DIRECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO DO SO. SO I ASK YOU, THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE, PLEASE STOP SENDING ME LETTERS TO DO WHAT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO. I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL. I HAVE DONE WHAT I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO BY EACH LETTER I HAVE RECEIVED AND I HAVE BEEN ASSURED MY NAME AND NUMBER IS ON A LIST TO CONTACT ME WHEN THEY CAN PROVIDE THE RECALL. UNLIKE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF COMMON SENSE AND TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY VEHICLES.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC WHEN MY SATURN ION SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS ONLY INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING ME; SHE HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP, BUT IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE INCIDENT WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING, AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. *TR
