NHTSA Complaint #10284062 — 2006 SATURN ION

2006 SATURN ION. ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THIS PAST SUNDAY, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE MY CAR WAS MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT MERGING ONTO A NEW FREEWAY. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY FATHERS ADVICE ,MY QUICK ACTIONS AND AWARE DRIVERS AROUND ME, I WOULD HAVE FLOWN OFF THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MANY SHOPS AND NOT ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM NOR FIX IT. NO RECALLS SO FAR HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND AS FAR AS SATURN IS CONCERNED, NO OTHER CAR HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. BEING A PREGNANT WOMAN, THIS MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND IN FEAR TO DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE CALLED MANY SATURN DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE ALL TAKEN THIS ISSUE LIGHTLY. THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2009 AND NOT AGAIN UNTIL AUGUST OF 2009 AND HAS HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A WEEK SINCE THEN. NO ENGINE SIGNS ARE ISSUED OR IS THERE ANYTHING LEADING UP TO THE ISSUE. THE CAR JUST BASICALLY SHUTS OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS BEING TURNED. THE BATTERY STAYS SO I KNOW THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. I AM IN FEAR OF MY SAFETY AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
