Consumer Description

2007 SATURN ION. APPROX 54000 MILES. DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. HEARD SEVERAL DINGS FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I COULD STEER THE VEHICLE WITH MUCH EFFORT. HAPPENED AGAIN AT A SLOWER SPEED, VEHICLE WAS MUCH HARDER TO STEER! GOOD THING IT WASN'T A MILE OR TWO EARLIER WHEN IT WENT OUT, AS I WAS IN A HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AREA WITH NO EMERGENCY LANES! I COULD NOT PULL OVER SAFELY IF I NEEDED TO. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, LOOKED TO SEE IF I COULD SEE A PROBLEM, BUT THIS CAR HAS ELECTRIC STEERING. STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY.THIS VEHICLE WAS INTENDED FOR MY 18 YR. OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, BUT I DOUBT SHE WOULD HAVE TO STRENGTH TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL IF IT HAPPENS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. THIS TO ME WOULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AS IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING.
