ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AROUND '06, THE KEY STARTED STICKING AND YOU COULD NOT EITHER START THE CAR (I'VE HAD SEVERAL TOWS), OR COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE CAR (IT WAS STUCK ON LOCKED). I GOT IT FIXED ON 2/13 07 WITH A NEW IGNITION SWITCH AT A SATURN DEALER. IT NEVER REALLY WORKED CORRECTLY. IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER IN MAY OF 2012. THEY PUT IN A "BCM"?? AND REPROGRAMMED. STILL DID THE SAME THING. THEN A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL PROGRAM. I GOT MY CAR FIXED FOR THE RECALL ON 4/15/14. MY CLAIM FOR PAYING $700 IN MAY OF 2012 WAS DENIED. MY CAR STILL STICKS WHEN TRYING TO START, OR TRYING TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I THINK THIS WHOLE THING IS YOUR FAULT. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE $700 I SPENT IN MAY, AND GET MY CAR IN AGAIN AND GET IT FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMELLED GAS FUMES. NOTICED LEAKING GAS ON GROUND. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, NOTICED THE FUEL LINES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS NO OTHER AREA ON THE CAR WITH RUST. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FUEL LINES RUSTING OUT. THE FUEL LINES THAT WERE PUT IN WERE WRAPPED WITH A HEAT RESISTANT COVERING WHICH CAUSED WATER TO STAY AND MOISTURE TO BUILD UP, EVENTUALLY RESULTING IN CORROSION. FURTHERMORE, THE GASOLINE LEAKAGE OCCURRED WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THE FUEL LINES ARE INADEQUATE, AND DANGEROUS. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS LEFT UNATTENDED. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
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

STEERING
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2006 SATURN ION ON A STATE HIGHWAY IN VT WHEN THE POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY CUT OUT ON THE CAR. SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT. THE POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO WORK FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. WE RELY ON THIS CAR AND ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, HOWEVER IF SHE HAD BEEN IN A MORE RESIDENTIAL AREA OR IF IT HAD BEEN RAINING ME, MY WIFE, OUR 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, A PEDESTRIAN, OR ANOTHER DRIVER COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NOT HELPFUL WHEN I HAVE CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH A LOCAL DEALER THAT THIS IS PART OF AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, BUT GM COULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATION ABOUT WHEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THEY ARE FAILING TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. I NEVER EVEN RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THIS RECALL OR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL IN MARCH. I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS DRIVING AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS!!! THIS ISSUE HAS IMPACTED OUR ABILITY TO PERFORM DAY TO DAY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS GETTING OUR DAUGHTER TO DAYCARE AND GETTING US TO WORK. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST BUY OR RENT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR HOW LONG I AM GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO BUILD IT PROPERLY AND TO NOTIFY ME AS AN OWNER OF ANY ISSUES. I AM ANGRY AND DISHEARTENED BY THIS AND I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS FIXED. I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE TO USE MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT PART FOR A CAR THAT IS RECALLED BECAUSE I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR GM TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY CAR WAR JUST REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL IGNITION, HOWEVER, IT IS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OFF AND ON. THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF TWICE ON MY WAY HOME AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TWICE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT THEY SHOW NOTHING ON THE POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE MY FAMILY HAS, AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE! I HAVE HAD FILES OPEN SINCE 2008 ABOUT THE POWER STEERING, AND OTHER ISSUES. SATURN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPLACED TWICE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING THE 2006 SATURN ION IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I REACHED THE INTERSECTION AT THE END OF MY STREET AND CAME TO A STOP/YIELD. AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO SHIFT TO THE GAS AND BEGAN STEERING TO TURN LEFT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT. I RETURNED HOME INSTEAD OF CONTINUING MY TRIP. MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL WITH CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V-047. I HAD REMOVED ALL ADDITIONAL KEYS FROM MY KEYRING AS RECOMMENDED IN THE THREE RECALL LETTERS I RECEIVED, BUT I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE ISSUE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE CHOSEN TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ONE OF THE LETTERS I RECEIVED FROM [XXX]OF GM ASSERTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS LONG AS THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL KEYS ON THE KEYRING.
