NHTSA Complaint #10323831 — 2007 SATURN ION

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT VARIOUS TIMES SOME TIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY AND THEN NOT AGAIN FOR DAYS . WE CAN NOT PINPOINT ANY PARTICULAR ACTION TO SET THIS PROBLEM IN MOTION . TO FIX WHEN THIS HAPPENS WE MUST PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT CAR OFF AN WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND HAS HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THIS FAILURE, ITS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP! START A RECALL NOW BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED ! I NOW HAVE THE CAR PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING MY WIFE'S CAR CAUSE OF THE RISK OF ACCIDENT POTENTIAL. IN MY INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2003 IN THE SATURN IONS AND THAT THE STEERING MOTOR ETC IS THE SAME AS THE CHEVY COBALT WHICH WAS RECALLED. I URGE YOU TO NOT DELAY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, ISSUE THAT RECALL NOW!!! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS CAR IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM AS I CAN NOT AFFORD THE DEALER FIX AND IT WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER FAULTY MOTOR AND SENSOR SETUP!!! NO WONDER GM HAS DROPPED SATURNS THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS!!!! MY VEHICLE IS A SATURN ION 2007 HAS 27,165 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HOPE YOU ACT ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND THEN BECOMES LIKE THE TOYOTA FIASCO!!!!! *TR
