NHTSA Complaint #10586481 — 2005 SATURN ION

IN MARCH 2014 WE NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN HAD STOPPED WORKING, I ASSUME THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SATURN IONS AND THE SIR COIL NEEDED REPLACING. ON 4/10/2014 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SIR COIL REPLACED, WE PICKED IT UP ON 4/11/2014. ON 4/12/2014 LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM OUR HOUSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK HOME AND PARKED IT UNTIL WE COULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE SIR COIL. ON 4/15/2014 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT 3 TIMES, THE FIRST TIME WE WERE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT WENT OUT IN MID TURN. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE WORK THEY DID REPLACING THE SIR COIL WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM THAT IT NOW HAS. *TR
