Consumer Description

THE CAR IS PRESENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR IGNITION. HOWEVER. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS THE PWR STR WARNING COMES ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND NO STEERING OR SEVERE LOSS OF ALL STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST AFTER THE CAR HAS RUN FOR 15 MINUTE AND EVERY 5 PLUS MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. GM WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING ON MY VEHICLE, I MADE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA AND HAVE MADE INTERNAL COMPLAINT AT GM REGARDING MY 2007 ION AND THE 3 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LOSS OF IGNITION AND TOTAL POWER INCLUDING BRAKE FAILURE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 PLUS AND LOSING CONTROL RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. I NEED HELP TO START THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE POWER STEERING AS IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL. I AM DISABLED AND ON OXYGEN, I HAVE REQUESTED SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FROM GM TO ASSIST WITH MY DISABLED CONDITION TO HELP EXPEDITE ANY REPAIRS AND ALL WARRANTED COVERAGES FOR POWER STEERING, AIR BAG NON FUNCTION, AND RECALLED IGNITION. THE CAR PRESENTLY HAS 55,000 MILES AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO BE CONTROLLED. THE PREVIOUS, MOST RECENT ACCIDENT, CAUSED STRUCTURAL DAMAGE INCLUDING A FRONT FENDER COMPLETE BENT AND RADIATOR BENT AT A TAIL COLLISION DUE TO IGNITION OUTAGE WITH NO BRAKES AT 30 PLUS MPH. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, ONLY DAMAGES TO MYSELF, BLINDNESS TO LEFT EYE AND SEVERE CONCUSSION, AND CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. GM WILL HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION SINCE MY PHONE COMPLAINTS IN APRIL, ALMOST 30 DAYS AGO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
