NHTSA Complaint #10586901 — 2006 SATURN ION

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE MESSAGE CENTER GAVE A MESSAGE OF "PWR STR," AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY 2006 SATURN ION. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FIXED ITSELF ENOUGH TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. I LATER DROVE THE CAR AGAIN A SHORT DISTANCE (ABOUT 5 MILES) AND THE SAME MESSAGE POPPED UP AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, AND IT APPEARS TO BE FULL. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND HAVE PAID UP TO $1,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR
