Consumer Description

POWER STEERING IN 2004 SATURN ION INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT UNEXPECTEDLY AND STAYS OFF UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I AM A SMALL PERSON, I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF ROADS TO RESTART CAR, OR I WILL EVEN RESTART THE CAR AT A STOPLIGHT IF I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE COSTLY REPAIRS I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT MANY MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR SATURN ION POWER STEERING. *TR
