NHTSA Complaint #10852601 — 2007 SATURN ION

A GENERAL MOTOR RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST FOR A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ONLY ON CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THE PAST YEAR. A PROBLEM IS CORROSION OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE AND THE TORQUE SENSOR CONNECTOR MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL CAUSE GREATER OPERATING POWER BY THE DRIVER UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING AND CAUSES A GREATER CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BECAUSE THE DIFFICULTY IN DRIVING A VEHICLE EFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS MADE THIS A RECALL TO BE FIXED IN THE DEALER, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SATURN ION WAS INVOLVED, AND I HAD IT CORRECTED, BUT WHAT I EXPERIENCED BEFORE, IS BACK AGAIN, AND I BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MANY RECALLS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN REOCCURRING ISSUES WITH VEHICLES, AND THIS MAY BE ANOTHER ONE.
