ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED TO LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP FOR GM FACTORY WARRANTY RECALLS. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY TWO SERVICE TECHNICIANS WHEN THE VEHICLE IGNITED IN THE TRUNK AND REAR SEAT AREA. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WERE THE REAR BREAK LINES THAT HAD SAGGED ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE UNAWARE OF THE WORK TO BE DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE NHTSA RECALLS 14V047, 14V171, AND 14V153. NONE OF THE RECALLS WERE FURNISHED WHILE IN THE POSSESSION OF THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND COULD POSSIBLY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FIRE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS IN THE GENERAL MOTORS IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. THEY KEPT IT LITTLE OVER A MONTH. THEY FINALLY CALLED ME AND SAID MY CAR HAD BEEN FIXED AND THAT I COULD COME AND GET IT. I DROVE MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN I STARTED HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN MY IGNITION. SO WHEN I GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING I SWITCHED MY CAR OFF AND IT WAS MAKING THAT CLICKING SOUND AGAIN. SO I TRIED TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT WOULDN'T COME OUT. SO I SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES AND I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STILL WOULD NOT COME OUT. SO I KEPT SWITCHING THE CAR OFF AND ON UNTIL I FINALLY GOT THE KEY OUT. SO THE NEXT WEEK I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICERS AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T DO THAT WITH HIM.SO HE COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. SO I TOOK THE CAR AND LEFT. IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN . SO THE NEXT WEEK I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK AND THEY STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. SO I CONTACTED THE GENERAL MOTORS HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SUPPOSED TO HAD GOT BACK WITH ME WITHIN 24-48 HRS. WELL I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THEM UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHEN I HAD TO CALLED THEM BACK WHILE I WAS BACK AT THE CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER. SO THEY FINALLY CALL ME BACK AND TALKED TO ME AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. SO I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR BACK TUESDAY 9\17\14 AND I DID. THEY COME TELLING ME THAT IT'S MY GEAR STICK WITHOUT PUTTING IT ON A MACHINE TO SEE WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM. SO AGAIN I LEFT WITH MY CAR IN THE SAME CONDITION AND IT IS STILL MAKING THAT CLICKING NOISE AND MY KEY STILL BE HARD TO COME OUT AT TIMES. WHEN MY CAR WAS THERE GETTING REPAIRED SOMEHOW MY DOOR GOT MESSED UP. WON'T NOTHING WRONG WITH MY DOOR WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THEM. ALTHOUGH THEY WON'T ADMIT TO IT THEY DONE SOMETHING TO MY DOOR. THEY SAY THEY WASN'T BACK THERE AT MY DOOR BUT GREASY HAND PRINTS ARE BACK THERE ON THE DOOR. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL LINE BEGAN LEAKING AND WHEN I CHECKED I DETERMINED THERE WAS A HOLE IN IT NEAR THE DRIVERS BACK TIRE NEAR THE CLIP, THE FUEL LINE IS ALSO RUSTED OUT. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE THING REPLACED AND WAS A COST OF OVER $850.00. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. FUEL LINES SHOULD NOT RUST OUT LIKE THIS AND I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THIS BY 2 REPUTABLE MECHANICS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS, IF I HAD NOT NOTICED IT I COULD HAVE RUN THE RISK OF MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE. THIS ISSUE PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER. THIS IS AS DEPLORABLE AS THE POWER STEERING AND IGNITION ISSUES. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CAR OWNERS WHO TRUSTED THEM TO BUILD A SAFE CAR. I AM ALSO CONSULTING LEGAL ADVISE, AND REACHING OUT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2007 SATURN ION 3 QUAD COUPE 2.4L. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING WHAT I FEEL IS EXACTLY DESCRIBED IN RECALL ID: 66615 (GM'S CAMPAIGN # IS 12190...THIS RECALL IS AN EXPANSION OF 09V419). MY EXACT VEHICLE IS SINGLED OUT IN THIS RECALL. THE ONLY THING IS THAT MY CAR WAS NOT BOUGHT IN NOR REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE QUALIFYING STATES. HOWEVER, DUE TO MY SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY...BEING STATIONED IN CALIFORNIA, THE CAR WAS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS. I IMAGINE THE STATES SINGLED OUT WERE SINGLED OUT BECAUSE OF THE HEAT IN THOSE LOCALES AND THE PROPENSITY OF PLASTIC TO DRY ROT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE RECALL DESCRIPTION, THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRACKING/LEAKING. AS A MEMBER OF THE MARINE CORPS FROM 2006-2010, I WAS NOT REQUIRED TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN IOWA...WHERE I NOW CURRENTLY RESIDE. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME CONSIDERATION TO BE INCLUDED AND COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. I AM EXPERIENCING A VERY STEADY GAS LEAK FROM THE VICINITY OF THE GAS TANK. MY CAR HAS LOST MUCH RESPONSIVENESS, IS DIFFICULT TO START, AND IS NOW INOPERABLE BECAUSE THE LEAK HAS GOTTEN FAR WORSE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME FOR ANY MORES, AT WHICH TIME I SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VIN. THANKS IN ADVANCE!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH DEALING WITH CLASSIC CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON TX AS THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN ASSISTING ME WITH THIS RECALL. I HAVE CALLED THEM 5 TIMES AND GET ON A ROTATING HOLD PATTERN. THE ONE TIME A SERVICE ADVISER DID PICK UP, HE HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS IN REGARD TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. SEEMS THAT I CAN NOT EVEN ORDER THE NEW SWITCH FROM THEM. I ALSO TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM THROUGH THE ONLINE SERVICE SCHEDULER AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RETURN CONTACT IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. I ALSO CALLED THE GM HOTLINE AND RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. THE CALL WAS ALSO TERMINATED BEFORE I COULD SPEAK TO ANYONE. THE RECORDING ADVISED TO START WITH THE NEAREST DEALER. THAT HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKED. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING IN LIEU OF WHAT AMERICAN TAXPAYERS HAVE DONE FOR GM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR 2 THINGS - IGNITION AND POWER STEERING. I WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL BY GM IN THE INTERIM OF GETTING MY CAR FIXED. IT HAS BEEN 3.5 MONTHS AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT MY CAR IS READY FOR PICKUP. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR BATTERY HAD DIED AND THAT IN ORDER TO GET IT, I WOULD NEED TO PAY $200 TO FIX THE BATTERY OR HAVE THE CAR TOWED OUT OF THE LOT. I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS, BUT FIGURED THAT I WOULD GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO EVALUATE THE STATE OF MY CAR IN THE MORNING. I CALLED 5 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND LEFT THREE MESSAGES FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER. I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM [XXX] EMPLOYEE, [XXX]. HE ACKNOWLEDGED MY FRUSTRATION AND INFORMED ME "NOT TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING FOR THE RENTAL" AND THAT "WE WERE WAITING UNTIL WE HEARD FROM YOU TO SUBMIT THE RECALL FIX TO GMC." [XXX] NEVER CALLED. A WEEK LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM SOMEONE ELSE AT THE DEALERSHIP STATING MY CAR WAS READY. I CALLED [XXX] AND HE STATED "YOU HAVE A BILL FOR $200 FOR THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, AND I BELIEVE THE CAR HAS A NEW PUMP FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL." I CALLED SATURN CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS ABOUT BOTH THE CHARGE FOR THE BATTERY, AND THE FACT THAT WHEN I RUN A VIN SEARCH ON MY CAR, THE POWER STEERING RECALL SHOWS UP AS "INCOMPLETE." SHE DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER. SHE SAID THE RECALL VIN SEARCH HAS A "LAG TIME," AND HAD NO REASON FORNOTMENTIONING THISBEFORE. THROUGHOUT THIS, [XXX] HAD SAID "I BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED,"BUT A VIN SEARCH SHOWS THE RECALL AS INCOMPLETE, AND ACCORDING TO GMS OWN DOCUMENTS, A PUMP WAS NEVER PART OF THE RECALL REMEDY. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE MY CAR IS FIXED, AND I AM BEING GIVEN NO ALTERNATIVE TO THIS $200 CHARGE, WHICH I NEVER APPROVED.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, IN THE WINTER TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START WHEN IT WAS TOO COLD. THE SECURITY SYSTEM ICON WOULD COME ON AN I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES SO THE CAR COULD START AGAIN. THIS WENT ON FOR FEW YEARS DURING WINTER TIME. NO RECALLS BACK THEN. THEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK MAKING IT VERY HARD TO TURN OR MANEUVER. HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY OR REGULAR STREETS. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALER ON JULY 2013 AND THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR PER THEIR "SPECIAL POLICY". THE CAR GOT WORST INSTEAD OF BETTER SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AN NOW THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEP GOING CRAZY. THE MONITOR WOULD BLINK AND SHOW POWER STEERING WORDS, THE SIDE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AN BLINKED BY ITSELF. THE DEALER SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH WOULD COST ME AROUND $1000 TO REPLACE. I COULDN'T AFFORD THAT AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS BACK THEN. ALSO THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AN GO FROM 10 TO 20 TO 30 MILES. THE MONITOR GAUGES WOULD MOVE BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS ALSO A SOUND COMING FROM THE GEAR BOX AS IF THE CAR WAS CHANGING GEARS BY ITSELF. BROUGHT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHICH DIDN'T CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE AND HE SAID BESIDE POWER STEERING THE CARS COMPUTER MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WOULD COST ME ANOTHER $1000. I DECIDED TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR ALTOGETHER AFRAID I WOULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND COULD AFFORD TO PAY FOR MORE REPAIRS. A YEAR LATER BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO DEALER TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH BE REPLACED WITH THE RECALL AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS HAD CONTINUED. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THAT. THEY SAID IF I WANTED THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $119 OR SO TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR AND ANY REPAIRS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. STILL SAFETY ISSUES THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE!! *TR
