FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE HAD A STRONG FUEL ODOR. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AFTER ENGINE LINE CAME ON. MAIN FUEL LINE CONNECTED TO FUEL PUMP CAME APART AND VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. IF I HAD A COLLISION CAR WOULD HAVE EXPLODED DUE TO AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKING. NEW FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED COST TO 400.00 PLUS LABOR COSTS. JUST BOUGHT USED VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2009 FROM DEALER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH CYLINDER REPLACED ON MY 2006 SATURN ION BECAUSE THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURN OFF. WHILE AT THE DEALER I FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE OTHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS SATURN VUE. TALKING TO THE SERVICE WRITER HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TWO MODEL OF CARS. I NEW SOMETHING WAS UP WHEN I GOT CHARGE FOR 1.5HRS LABOR WHEN IT TOOK LESS THEN 40MIN TO TAKE THE CAR REPLACE THE PART AND RETURN IT TO ME. WHEN TRY TO TALK TO VARIOUS PEOPLE AT SATURN AND GM ALL THEY WAITED TO SAY THAT IT WAS 7 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. BEING FROM CHARLESTON, SC AND TWO PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE WRITER COMMENT AND THE TIME IT TOOK TO REPLACE, TO ME THIS IS PROBABLY A BIGGER PROBLEM THEN JUST TWO CARS AND THAT SATURN SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS. I HAVE WORKING ON CARS IN THE PAST AND THE CAR BEING A MANUAL I WAS ABLE TO STALL THE CAR AND THEN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHAT I DID NOT HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE OR IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC. THE GM PERSON DID NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT HE JUST WANTED TO SAY IT WAS 7 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. I THIN THAT SATURN/GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE CAR AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE IDLES NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PRESS THE PEDAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (NO MECHANICAL LINKAGE) SO THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL.. TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME IN THAT PAST MONTH THIS HAS HAPPENED. FOR THE RECORD, THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER NO LESS THAN 9 TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES (A FEW BODY CONTROL MODULES, A COUPLE IGNITION SWITCHES, ABS MODULES, TRANS CONTROL MODULES, RADIOS, INSTRUMENT PANELS, ETC, ETC.) BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I THINK MAY CAUSE INJURY. GETTING REAR-ENDED AT A GREEN LIGHT OR HAVING A CAR RUN INTO THE DRIVER SIDE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY WHEN THE CAR 'ALL OF A SUDDEN' WON'T ACCELERATE. GM HAS REPAIRED EVERY PROBLEM THIS CAR HAS HAD TO DATE, BUT WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY KEY BECAME LOCKED IN THE IGNITION WHILE MY SATURN ION2 WAS ENGAGED. NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. I DROVE TO A MECHANIC AND HE ALSO HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DISENGAGE MY CAR. I THEN DROVE A NEARBY SATURN DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS KIND OF MALFUNCTION HAPPENED OFTEN IN SATURN IONS. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CAR WHEN THE KEY IS LOCKED IS TO OPEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR (WHILE IT IS RUNNING) AND DISCONNECT THE MAIN FUSE FROM THE BATTERY. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS A TENDENCY OF RECURRING BECAUSE THE IGNITION PART IS DEFECTIVE. THE SATURN MECHANIC FIXED THE IGNITION LOCK WHICH COST A TOTAL OF 330$ INCLUDING PART AND LABOR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW SATURN ION 2 COUPE IN JUNE OF 2006. IN THE WINTER OF 2006 I HAD THE IGNITION TO LOCK UP ON ME AND I COULD NOT GET MY KEY OUT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN AT ALL. THANKFULLY MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD IT TOWED IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST SATURN DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE IGNITION HOUSING AND ITS COMPONENTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE GUY CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT BECAUSE MINE WAS FIXED. NOW IN OCT OF 2009 I AM FACED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY KEY WAS IN THE ON POSITION AND RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN MY CAR OFF WAS TO STALL IT OUT BECAUSE ITS A FIVE SPEED AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO THEREFORE I AM FACED WITH A MECHANIC BILL THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS AND I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT. I FURTHER INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE SIMILAR PROBLEMS LIKE MINE AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE ARE NUMEROUS UNSATISFIED SATURN CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THESE IGNITIONS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BECAUSE THEY HAVE CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE THIS LEAVES DRIVERS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, OR IN UNKNOWN TERRITORY. AS A FEMALE, I WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND SCARED. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE MAN COULD NOT HELP ME ON THE TELEPHONE AND VERY UNAWARE OF CUSTOMER SAFETY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
2004 SATURN ION- IGNITION FAILS TO RELEASE THE KEY, CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION WITHOUT STRUGGLING. HAVE RESEARCHED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS OCCURRING, THAT IS UNREAL. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING YET... AS SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS AND SOME HAVE HAD TO REMOVE A FUSE TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF. SATURN NEEDS TO DO A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS AND REPLACE ALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCHES BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN ION. HE SMELLED AN ODOR OF GASOLINE LEAKING FROM HIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND A MECHANIC CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SATURN ION 2004 WILL NOT START IN COLD WEATHER. THE SYMPTOMS IS SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE AND LINKED TO FAULTY SECURITY MODULE (ANTI-THEFT) WHICH DISABLES THE CAR IN COLD WEATHER. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM DOCUMENTED IN VARIOUS FORUMS AS WELL AS WELL KNOWN TO SATURN DEALERS. YET GM DID NOT MAKE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005 AND ADVISED THE DEALERS AND SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS ONCE A LOYAL GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER ' THAT IS UNTIL GM NEARLY KILLED ME. I'M THE UNFORTUNATE OWNER OF A 2004 SATURN ION WITH AN AILING TRANSMISSION THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR, AND I AM NOT ALONE. IN MY CASE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE NEARLY COST ME MY LIFE. THIS PAST SATURDAY, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE FROM 315 N ONTO INTERSTATE 270 E. EXITING THE ENTRANCE RAMP AT THAT INTERCHANGE IS OFTEN A HAZARD UNDER THE BEST CONDITIONS. AS I ACCELERATED INTO THE RIGHT-HAND LANE OF TRAFFIC, MY CAR SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. I SWERVED BACK TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED BY THE CLOSING TRAFFIC ON 270 E, NEARLY SIDESWIPING ANOTHER VEHICLE STILL IN THE EXIT LANE. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNABLE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR REST FOR A FEW MINUTES I TRIED AGAIN TO GET IT INTO GEAR, ULTIMATELY HAVING TO LEAVE IT IN A PARKING LOT. DESPITE GM AGREEING TO A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON APRIL 16, 2009, SATURN DEALERSHIPS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ADVISED TO SUSPEND ALL EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIRS UNDER THE AGREEMENT. SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE, UNDER DIRECT INSTRUCTION FROM GM, HAS TAKE THE POSITION THAT THE AGREEMENT WAS MADE BY GM PRIOR TO THE DECLARATION OF BANKRUPTCY ON JUNE 1, 2009 AND NOW HAS NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. GM ALSO FAILED TO NOTIFY THE 150,000 OWNERS OF AFFECTED VUE AND ION MODELS THAT DUE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DESIGN FLAW, THEIR CARS MIGHT DROP IN OR OUT OF GEAR, EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS, POSING SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO OPERATORS, PASSENGERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES HAVE AND WILL OCCUR DUE TO GM'S LACK OF ACTION? LIVES LIKELY HAVE AND WILL BE LOST DUE TO THIS KNOWN DEFECT. GM IS PAYING ROULETTE WITH THE LIVES OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND THE DRIVERS WHO SHARE THE ROADS WITH THEM. GM HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE LEGAL TERMS OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, FAILED TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT AND FAILED TO PAY THE COST OF REPAIRS THEY AGREED IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 SATURN ION ON THE HIGHWAY, AFTER HITTING AN UNUSUAL BUMP OR DIPS IN THE ROAD, I?VE EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE CAR?S SYSTEMS, INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF STEERING AND ANY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, BRAKE OR NAVIGATE THE CAR. THE CAR SLOWS TO A COMPLETE STOP. FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE I'VE LEARNED THAT THE CAR WILL NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE CAR KEY WILL THEN PHYSICALLY NEED TP BE REMOVED AND REINSERT THE KEY TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. (TRYING TO START THE CAR WITHOUT REMOVING THE KEY WILL NOT WORK.) ON ALL OCCASIONS THIS HAS PRESENTED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS OTHER CARS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 55-75 MPH ARE FORCED TO MANEUVER AROUND MY STALLED VEHICLE, WHICH DOES NOT EVEN HAVE THE POWER OR CONTROL TO BE PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 17, 2007 AFTER THE FIRST 3 INCIDENTS, HOWEVER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS COULD NOT IDENTIFY OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ADJUSTED A FUSE BOX IN THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE CAR. BUT COULD NOT NEITHER ASSURE ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, OR WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE SITUATION RECURRED RECENTLY ON OCT 4, 2009 WHILE ON INTERSTATE 95. THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT AS I SAT STRANDED IN THE FAST-LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR IS PRESENTLY AT ANOTHER SATURN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AGAIN SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND SEEK THE NHTSA ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THE MATTER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TRIED TO START MY 2004 SATURN ION AT ABOUT 11 PM LAST NIGHT AND IT TOOK FIFTEEN MINUTES FOR IT TO TURN OVER. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 28 DEGREES (F). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ALWAYS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. I KNOW THAT SATURN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION. I HAVE FOUND REPORTS OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER ION OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY SATURN AS SITTING FOR 10-20 MINUTES OR MORE IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WAITING FOR ONE'S CAR TO START IS NOT SAFE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL ISSUE!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 1 IN KEY WEST, FLORIDA WHEN A BELL BEEPED AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN I TRIED TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK & SEE IF THE FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT. NO ONE COULD FIND THE FLUID CONTAINER. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR AWHILE AND IT WAS OK BUT IT CONTINUED TO COME ON TILL I GOT IT HOME & PARKED IT. *TR

SATURN ION 3 HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS; IT'S BEEN CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH IGNITION SWITCH WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE A SHORT OF SOME KIND. CAR STARTS, THEN SHUTS OFF, THEN WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, APPEARS DEAD, WAIT 5-10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS AGAIN. NO AUTOMOTIVE TECH COULD DETECT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. *TR

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME INOPERABLE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE STEERING THEN BECOMES FUNCTIONAL AGAIN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ON THE AFTERNOON OF SEPT. 17TH I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS IN MY 2006 ION. I STOPPED AT A STORE AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN OF MY CAR. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION AT ALL AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. IT TURNED OUT THAT I NEEDED A NEW IGNITION LOCK AND KEY. I PAID THE APPROX. 200 DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT SATURN IS DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 SATURN ION 3. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE CAR NOT START ONLY AN HOUR LATER TO TRY AND IT DID. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH IS MY WIFE HAS BEEN STUCK AT WORK AT 3AM WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING BY HERSELF. WE (ION) OWNERS NEED HELP WITH THIS SINCE THE MAKER OF THIS CAR ISN'T DOING ANYTHING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR (2006 SATURN ION) AND SMELLING GASOLINE. IT TURNS OUT THE HOSE CONNECTED TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING GAS. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. HE FEELS THAT THE ONE HOSE IS NOT CONNECTED AND HARNESSED PROPERLY AND THE VIBRATION TO THE HOSE EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE CRACK. I GOOGLED "SATURN 2006 ION FUEL LEAK" AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT IS ALSO THE MAJOR PROBLEM HERE IS THAT THE HOSE IS CONFIGURED WITH THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF. SO, THE ENTIRE MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME 700.00 FOR A CRACKED HOSE BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AND MY CAR ONLY IS 46,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I DROVE FOR 2 WEEKS WITH A CAR THAT WAS LEAKING FUEL. SATURN MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS AND IS WAITING FOR THE SAME SITUATION TO HAPPEN, BUT FOR THE CAR TO BLOW UP INSTEAD. *TR
