ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD IGNITION RECALL DONE, NOW KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION SO CAR CAN NOT BE TURNED TO OFF POSITION OR REMOVE KEY. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE RECALL WAS DONE. HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL SATURN. THIS SHOULD' BE A RECALL ITEM BY GMC AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY INSTALLING FAULTY PARTS. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. WHEN I TALKED TO THE GMC DEALER I WAS TOLD SINCE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. (EVEN THO WITH FAULTY PARTS) IT WOULD COST $110.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEN A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY CAUSED WHEN DOING THE RECALL

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COMPLAINTS INVOLVING AUTOMATIC POWER GEAR SHIFT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. HAVE TO KEEP ON STARTING AND SHIFTING IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DISENGAGED THE KEY OUT. CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AFRAID WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER WE HAD A RECALL ON IGNITION WHICH WAS REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS AN ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL, YEAR, CAR WITH DIFFERENT VIN#. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD INTO THIS SITUATION FOR WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VIN# ALSO. I HAD TO CALL A LOCK SMITH ONE TIME BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OFF IGNITION SINCE THEN HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND THEN I GO TO PARK IT AND NOT ABLE TO TAKE KEY OUT OF IGNITION BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, THEN 1 TURN TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD RECALL 14063 AND 14113 PERFORMED ON MY CAR. I TOLD THE MECHANIC ABOUT IT, AND IT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN WENT BACK TO NOT LETTING ME GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED A CERTAIN WAY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRY TO LEAVE AFTER I PARK.

STEERING
A GENERAL MOTOR RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST FOR A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ONLY ON CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THE PAST YEAR. A PROBLEM IS CORROSION OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE AND THE TORQUE SENSOR CONNECTOR MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL CAUSE GREATER OPERATING POWER BY THE DRIVER UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING AND CAUSES A GREATER CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BECAUSE THE DIFFICULTY IN DRIVING A VEHICLE EFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS MADE THIS A RECALL TO BE FIXED IN THE DEALER, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SATURN ION WAS INVOLVED, AND I HAD IT CORRECTED, BUT WHAT I EXPERIENCED BEFORE, IS BACK AGAIN, AND I BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MANY RECALLS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN REOCCURRING ISSUES WITH VEHICLES, AND THIS MAY BE ANOTHER ONE.
