Consumer Description

MY 2004 SATURN ION 3 POWER STEERING KEEPS ON FAILING. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT AGAIN AND IT WORKS AGAIN. IT APPEARS FROM THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THAT THE COBALT WITH THE EXACT SAME STEERING COLUMN AND ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS RECALLED BUT THE ION WAS NOT. THIS IS SCARY WHEN DRIVING AND YOUR POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE ON ME AND IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. *TR
