NHTSA Complaint #10586450 — 2006 SATURN ION

CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY, GM TOOK 1 HR AD 1/2 TO COME TO MY HOUSE. FORTUNATE IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. NHTSA AND GM KNEW OF THIS RECALL BEFORE IT HAPPENED TO ME. WHY DID THE NHTSA NOT REPORT THIS? I PAID FOR THE REPAIR NOT KNOWING OF THE RECALL. THE MEDIA MADE ME AWARE AND I GOT A REFUND MUCH LATER. MY CAR IS ON ITS 6TH RECALL. 2 ARE PENDING. AGAIN I FOUND OUT FROM THE MEDIA. I CALLED GM, THEY ARE TAKING THEIR TIME IN THESE REPAIRS. I CALLED GM ON 3-18-14 ABOUT THESE 2 CURRENT RECALLS, I FEEL THEY ARE PUTTING ME ON THE BACK BURNER TO REPAIR THEM. HOW MANY RECALLS CAN 1 CAR HAVE BEFORE ITS CONSIDERED UNSAFE??? WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? IS THIS CAR A LEMON OR JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN/???? YOUR SITE SAYS THERE'S ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY CAR FOR THE HEAD LIGHTS. THAT WILL MAKE A 7TH RECALL. THE NHTSA IS SUPPOSE PROTECT THE CONSUMERS . MY CAR MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. GM SHOULD HAVE TESTED MORE BEFORE SELLING IT TO THE PUBLIC. I NOW KNOW WHY GM STOPPED MAKING MY SATURN. *TR
