2005 SATURN ION Electrical System Problems

This vehicle has an electrical issue from time to time seemingly out of nowhere. There is no power steering it just shuts off sometimes it’ll stay off for an hour sometimes it’ll stay off for weeks and I can’t figure out how to fix it. It randomly fixes itself same can be said for the air conditioning And the driver side, headlight all of these electrical functions, seemingly turn themselves up or down for no apparent reason.

My key is stuck in the I can take it out the o2 seners not reading

When pressing the gas pedal 2/3 of the way down the pedal got stuck causing the engine to rev high while driving forward. I had to put the car in neutral, shut the engine off and manually get the gas pedal unstuck by reaching down to the floor and pulling the pedal upwards with my hands. Also I had no floor mats in my car for the pedal to get stuck on. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Power steering intermittently fails at random and steering wheel suddenly becomes immovable nearly causing serious accidents and endangerment to myself, my family, and others drivers on the roads.

I turn my turn signals on and nonthing happens in the Frontline bulbs are brand new doesn't matter back turn signal work,front turn signal dont.this has been happening since forever my inlaws didn't know we didn't know until they gave car.so don't know how long seems like forever

MY CAR'S BATTERY KEEPS DYING ON ME. IT WILL DO SO IF I'M DRIVING OR IF IT IS PARK AND SITS. THE BATTERY DRAINS. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN NO POWER (VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING!!). THE CAR HAS BEEN PARK AND COMPLETELY DIES AND I WILL NEED A HOT SHOT.

MY CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING FINE AND ONE DAY THE SECURITY LIGHT AND A FEW OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AS WELL AS "TRAC OFF" CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. MY GAS GAUGE ALSO WENT DOWN TO ZERO (EVEN THOUGH I HAD A FULL TANK.) THE CAR STILL RAN FINE AND NO CODES CAME UP SO I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND NOW MY CAR WILL START BUT I HAVE TO WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL LET ME PUT IT IN GEAR. EVERYTHING TURNS OFF AND WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AS THE CAR "WARMS UP?" AFTER 5 MINUTES IT WILL LET ME PUT IT IN GEAR BUT WARNING LIGHTS ABS, BRAKE, AND AIRBAG WILL STILL BE ON. IF I RESTART THE CAR THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON! *TR

KEY BECOMES STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TIME I DRIVE IT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I HAVE TWO OPTIONS: ALLOW THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED AND JUMPSTART THE NEXT TIME I USE MY CAR, OR ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE MANUAL RELEASE INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. I'VE HAD THE RECALL MAINTENANCE DONE ON MY CAR, AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. GM TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE GEAR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED (COST TO BE PAID BY ME). IN THE MEANTIME, THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CONTINUE TO RELEASE THE KEY MANUALLY. EVERY TIME I USE MY CAR, I FEEL UNSAFE - I AM PUTTING MYSELF AT RISK OF ELECTROCUTION CONSTANTLY, WHETHER BY JUMPSTARTING THE DEAD BATTERY OR MANIPULATING THE WIRES UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND TAKING NO STEPS TO FIX IT, MUCH LIKE THE...

STARTED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, IN THE WINTER TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START WHEN IT WAS TOO COLD.
