Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD THREE OCCASIONS IN WHICH THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE 2007 SATURN ION. THIS IS A NOTORIOUS PROBLEM, OVER 5000 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, WITH THIS VEHICLE AND YET YOU HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE, B/C AT 50+ MPH SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE CAR IS QUITE SMALL AND DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT EVEN FOR A REASONABLY EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUAL DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING. YOU ARE FAILING TO DO YOUR JOB AND PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK AS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT YOU SUPPOSEDLY INVESTIGATED IN 2009. THIS IS COMPLETELY INEXCUSABLE AND AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE YOU GET PEOPLE KILLED. *TR
