Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2005 SATURN ION-3 WITH 87,639 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK ON THE FREEWAY OUT OF NOW WHERE MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED ME TO SWERVE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I THEN PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RE-GROUP AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, IT WAS AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT NOW. IT OCCASIONALLY TRIPS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SATURN DEALER. THEY SCANNED THE CAR TO CHECK THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN DUE TO A FAILED POWER STEERING MODULE. THEY WANT $955.00 PLUS TAX TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. HOWEVER I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEAL WITH IT FOR I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY. *TR
