Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING FREQUENTLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN ION REDLINE. DURING NORMAL DRIVING, THE CAR BEEPS, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON THE DASH GOES ON (PWR STR), AND THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO "RESET" THE SYSTEM IS TO STOP THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 8-10 TIMES NOW. SIMILAR CARS FROM GM (CHEVY COBALT, PONTIAC G5, ETC) UTILIZE THE SAME PARTS AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY GM. HOWEVER, WHEN CONTACTING GM REGARDING THE SATURN ION, THEY STATE THAT FOR THE ION, "THEY HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT A RECALL." THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURIES AND DEATHS. *TR
