TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. ADDITIONALLY, THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP AND DOWN INDEPENDENTLY.

THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,639.

WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, IT WILL NOT ALWAYS REGISTER THAT IT IS PARK; THEREFORE, IT WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, IT WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IT STARTED WITH JUST A FEW DAYS A WEEK, BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AT LEAST ONE TIME A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN ION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THREE TIMES AND THE BATTERY AND CRANK SENSOR WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, I HAVE TROUBLE REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHERE MY CAR WASN'T AS STABLE AS IT SHOULD BE. THE CAR ITSELF RUMBLES AND JERKS A LOT ON CITY STREETS AND AS I GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. IN THE PAST THERE'S BEEN A FEW ISSUES WITH THE BREAKS. DURING WINTER TIME, THE CAR WON'T START UP (I HAVE A NEW BATTERY NOW AND IT STILL HAPPENS). ACCELERATION IS OCCASIONALLY DELAYED. LASTLY THERE'S A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WHICH CONTINUES FROM THE TIME THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION UNTIL I TAKE IT OUT.

1. THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT DISENGAGE...SOMETIMES AFTER MOTOR IS TURNED OFF AND CAR IS IN PARK THE CAR MUST BE TURNED BACK ON FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE THE IGNITION WILL ENGAGE CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY...IN THE PARK POSITION....KEY WILL LOCK INSELF AND NOT DISENGAGE. THE CAR WAS ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IT BEGAN TO OCCUR FIVE MONTHS AGO...NOW IT HAPPENS AT LEAST TEN TIMES A WEEK. 2. ALL ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS ON DASHBOARD SAY: COOLANT...BUT WHEN CHECKED THE COOLANT IS FINE.

TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION IT PASSED SAFETY AND FAILED EMISSIONS ! THERE IS NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON

UNABLE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF. REPEAT TURNING SWITCH ON AND OFF EVENTUALLY SHUTS VEHICLE OFF AND ABLE TO REMOVE KEY. VEHICLE IS PARKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHUT OFF. ENGINE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RUNNING BUT UNABLE TO TAKE KEY OUT OF SWITCH. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON OR ABOUT YR 2012 TO CURRENT. DID NOT DRIVE VEHICLE AT ALL LAST YEAR (2016)

WAS GUARANTEED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I ORIGINALLY GOT A 2007 FORD ESCAPE BY TRADING IN MY VEHICLE AND 500 CASH. THEY WANTED ME TO PUT DOWN AN ADDITIONAL 900 DOWN WHICH I ENDED UP NOT BEING ABLE TO DO. SO THEY OFFERED TO PUT ME IN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS CHEAPER AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT ANY MORE MONEY ON. THE 2004 SATURN ION I RECEIVED ON 08/23/2016 NOT ONLY HAD CLUTCH ISSUES WHICH I SAID I WOULD FIX, BUT THE BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR MECHANICALLY. WE DID NOT EVEN MAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. SO NOW THE CAR SITS IN MY YARD AND I AM OUT MY ORIGINAL VEHICLE AND THE 500 CASH I USED ORIGINALLY PLUS TOWING CHARGES AND A...

MARCH 2015 - DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RECALLED IGNITION. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WOULDN'T START A FEW TIMES, AND I REPLACED THE STARTER. JUNE-JULY 2016 - THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND THE PASSLOCK LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. AFTER RESETTING THE PASSLOCK (LEAVE THE IGNITION TURNED TO THE RUN POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES) IT WOULD START IMEDIATELY. JULY 11, 2016 - TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM IT STARTED AFTER THE IGNITION WAS CHANGED. TOLD THAT IT WAS THE BODY CONTROL MONITOR ($829). REPAIRS FINISHED JULY 15, 2016. AUGUST 4, 2016 - CAR TAKEN BACK FOR TROUBLE STARTING ONCE MORE. AUGUST 8, 2016 - IGNITION CHANGED ONCE MORE, BUT CHARGED AGAIN BECAUSE GM WOULDN'T COVER IT. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT MY CAR WORKED FINE UNTIL I HAD A PART CHANGED DUE TO A RECALL, AND NOW THAT REPLACEMENT WAS FAULTY AND I'M BEING CHARGED FOR IT!

MY SATURN 2004 ION HAS IGNITION PROBLEMS AND IT STARTED IN 2010 AFTER I GOT THE CAR AND MY KEYS WOULD GET STUCK AND THE POWER WOULD GO OUT IN MY SATURN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP OVER FIVE TIMES AND IT STILL DID THE SAME THING SO IN NOV.2013 THE SATURN STOP STARTING AND NO POWER AT ALL. SOMEONE KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SOLD THESE CARS AND PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. WE NEED JUSTICE FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR THIS MESS. *TR

I OWN TWO SATURN IONS. ONE IN WHICH I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE THE RECALL AND I ALREADY HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. THE OTHER CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE IT DONE. WHAT A MISTAKE....... SEVERAL YEARS AGO I HAD AN AFTER MARKET REMOTE START PUT IN MY CAR. AFTER THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED THE REMOTE START DID NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE RECALL WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE REMOTE START SYSTEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I HAD THE REMOTE START INSTALLED AND HAD INCURRED AN $80.00 CHARGE TO RELEARN THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH. AM I EVER GOING TO SEE THAT $80.00 BACK? I CALLED ONE OF YOUR COMPLAINT PHONE LINES AND WAS THAT THEY WERE EXPERIENCING A HIGH NUMBER...

I BACKED IN, MY 2004 SATURN ION, IN MY DRIVEWAY, PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY AS USUAL, THE KEY WOULD NOT GO PAST ACC POSITION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. AFTER MANY TRIES IT SOME HOW VENT TO OFF. COUPLE DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO SATURN - CHEVROLET DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER CAME BACK WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $615.00 LISTING AS FOLLOWS: CHECK OUT - CODE FEE, IGNITION CYLINDER 15785084, NPC, KEY 22679805, , ADJUST SHIFT CABLE, REPROGRAM, LABOR 3 HR. I DID NOT GET IT FIXED SO THEY CHARGED ME $129.57 FOR THEIR ESTIMATE. WHEN THE RECALL CAME THROUGH I FIGURED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE SWITCH.WRONG. TODAY THE DEALER COMPLETED THE RECALL AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. THIS TIME IT IS...

TL* THE CONTACT THE OWNS A 2004 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT OFF AND THE KEY BECAME LODGED IN THE IGNITION.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THIS IS TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION WITH DEALING WITH CLASSIC CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON TX AS THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN ASSISTING ME WITH THIS RECALL. I HAVE CALLED THEM 5 TIMES AND GET ON A ROTATING HOLD PATTERN. THE ONE TIME A SERVICE ADVISER DID PICK UP, HE HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS IN REGARD TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. SEEMS THAT I CAN NOT EVEN ORDER THE NEW SWITCH FROM THEM. I ALSO TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM THROUGH THE ONLINE SERVICE SCHEDULER AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RETURN CONTACT IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. I ALSO CALLED THE GM HOTLINE AND RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. THE CALL WAS ALSO TERMINATED BEFORE I COULD SPEAK TO ANYONE. THE RECORDING ADVISED TO START WITH THE NEAREST DEALER. THAT HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKED. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING IN LIEU OF WHAT AMERICAN TAXPAYERS HAVE DONE FOR GM. *TR

DEALER WAS ADVISED OF THE ABOVE PROBLEM AND WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH SAME. DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS A FAULTY SHIFTER PROBLEM AND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WE WERE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR COST ($576) OF REPAIRS. DEALER ADVISED THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD IN FACT GET WORSE. THIS SHOULD BE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY ESPECIALLY SINCE DEALER ADMISSION THAT THEY (GM) WERE AWARE OF THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH MALFUNCTION SHIFTER IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH TO MAKE A TURN, THE STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE STRUCK THE CURB AND WENT UP ON THE CURB.
