NHTSA Complaint #10386236 — 2007 SATURN ION

I AM PURCHASING A 2007 SATURN ION 3. WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD SOMETIMES YOU WILL HEAR A DING, PWR STR SHOWS UP WHERE THE ODOMETER IS, AND I LOSE MY POWER STEERING. I STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN ON AND I HAVE POWER STEERING BACK. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM SATURN SAYING THAT THIS MIGHT BECOME A PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT IF THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND 100,000 MILES OR LESS. OF COURSE MY SATURN CONVENIENTLY IS OVER 100K MILES. I CALLED SATURN AND ALL THEY WOULD SAY IS THAT I CAN GO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY MIGHT HELP ME. GM HAS RECALLED THE COBALT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. 14 PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T GM RECALLING SATURN IONS FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR
