AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO REGARDING FUEL TANK. HOWEVER, IT SPECIFIED CERTAIN STATES OF ORIGIN. I DISREGARDED NOTICE SINCE I WAS NOT RESIDING IN ONE OF THOSE STATES. MY CAR PERIODICALLY SMELLS OF GAS, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW PERFORMANCE LIGHT GOES ON/OFF AND MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED RECALL. MY SUSPENSION ISSUES HAVE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF BEARING AND SWAY BAR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND DINGS AS A REMINDER EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 SATURN ION FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE RADIO WILL TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF AND IT'S DISPLAY PANEL FLASHES ALL KINDS OF PATTERNS, CAN'T USUALLY TELL IF IT'S ON OR OFF, SINCE THE FLASHING OCCURS EITHER WAY. THE WINDOWS WILL QUIT WORKING BUT AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY, THEY WILL WORK AGAIN. TODAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. AFTER PULLING BACK INTO THE SPOT AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND I DROVE HOME. I TOLD MY DAD WHAT IT DID AND HE SAID MY SISTER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER SATURN VUE AND SHE HAD TO HAVE HER BODY MODULE (?) REPLACED. HE SAID HERS GOT TO THE POINT THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF AND ON AND SOMETIMES SHE WASN'T ABLE TO START HER CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY SATURN ION'S STEERING COLUMN AND THEY REPLACED IT AND HAD TO PUT IN A NEW IGNITION ALONG WITH NEW KEYS. I KNOW MY CAR IS OLDER, BUT SINCE MY SISTER'S SATURN VUE HAD THE SAME ODD ELECTRICAL TAKE OVERS, IT MAY BE TOO COMMON OF A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND HAVE A GOOD DAY. 😊

THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

STEERING
SINCE HAVING THE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION DONE - WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK I HAVE TO PULL THE SHIFTER TOWARD REVERSE TO GET THE KEY OUT. ALSO SINCE THE RECALLS WERE DONE ALL THE SUDDEN MY STEERING RACK IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE WHICH MY MECHANIC IS SAYING WILL SOON NEED REPLACED. IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE RECALLS FOR THE IGNITION AND SUCH WERE DONE ON MY CAR. LITERALLY THE DAYS AFTER IS WHEN IT STARTED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS BECAUSE MY CAR IS OLD. NOT BUYING THAT ANSWER. ALL OF THIS HAS TO BE TIED TO A RECALL, I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR. I JUST HAD THE CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AS WELL AND THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WERE NEAR DISINTEGRATED!

STEERING
STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, AS IF IT "STICKS" AND I HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER HAD TO MAKE AN EVASIVE MENOUVER OR IS INEXPERIENCED AND NOT EXPECTING IT TO FAIL. THIS OCCURS WHILE MOVING, AND WHILE PARKED, ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY.
