Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2006 SATURN ION RECENTLY WENT OUT. I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP. I QUICKLY DROVE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE POWER STEERING FUEL WAS OKAY AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR AND THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING ALL OF THESE ISSUES THAT ARE THE MANUFACTURER'S FAULT. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF CARS AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED. I AM SEVERELY UNSATISFIED WITH SATURN AND THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I HAVE PUT INTO THIS CAR TO FIX PROBLEMS THAT NEVER SEEM TO BE SOLVED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE. *TR
