Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2007 SATURN ION WITH 45,000 MILES. YESTERDAY THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WENT OUT. MOTOR IS PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN SO WE HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL REPLACED. QUOTE BY A SATURN DEALER IS $1000. WE TALKED TO A LOCAL, REPUTABLE, MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED US THAT DRIVING THE CAR IN SUCH A CONDITION COULD RESULT IN THE CAR CATCHING ON FIRE FROM THE HEAT GENERATED FROM TURNING WITHOUT THE POWER ASSIST. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE GOING BACK SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF ION'S. WE DO NOT FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE FIXED ON THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
