SHE WAS GOING PRETTY FAST AND PUSHED MY CAR PRETTY FAR BUT NO AIRBAG! THEN ON A SEPARATE OCCASION I WAS DOING 55 MILES WHEN A LARGE ANIMAL DARTED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. MY FRONT END AND RADIATOR AND FRONT END WERE SHOT. EVEN SPLIT MY PASSENGER SIDE DASH OPEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED OFF BUT NO AIRBAGS!! EXACTLY HOW DO I HAVE TO BE GOING FOR ME TO HAVE PROTECTION????

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE AUTO PARTS STORE TOLD US NOT TO BUY AN IGNITION SWITCH. THEY SAID WE NEEDED TO CHECK ON THE RECALL FOR THIS SATURN. HOW DO WE FIND OUT IF ALL RECALLS FOR THIS CAR HAVE BEEN REPAIRED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. OCCASIONALLY, THE KEY WOULD BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC GMC/BUICK IN MONTGOMERY, AL WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2014 PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ANOTHER LIGHT FLASHED. IN BOTH CASES STOPPING THE ENGINE AND TURNING IT BACK ON REMEDIED THE ISSUE AND CLEARED THE LIGHTS. WHILE IN MOTION ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING FROM ON AND OFF ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ONLY MY POCKETBOOK IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. REMOVING THE BAG DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION CLEARED THE PROBLEM.THE CAR LOST POWER AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND THE PROBLEM SOLVED. THE CAR BEGAN CHIMING INSTEAD OF TICKING WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EXITING FROM A HIGHWAY. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON AT...

I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. ONE OF THE TIMES GM PAID FOR IT DUE TO A RECALL WITHIN MONTHS THE CAR WAS BACK INTO PASSLOCK LIGHT COMING ON CAR STALLING WHILE IN MOVEMENT KEY STUCK IN IGNITION HAVE TO WIGGLE IT TO GET IT BACK INTO THE TURN OFF POSITION. THIS LAST TIME AS OF TODAY THE CAR WILL NOT RUN YOU HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT OF A LOCK THE PASSLOCK IS SHOWING ON THE CAR DASHBOARD.

WHILE DRIVING THE IGNITION SHUTS OFF KILLING POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES

PREVIOUSLY FIXED RECALL HAS FAILED. IGNITION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAR REMAINS RUNNING AFTER KEY IS REMOVED. KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION.

WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION SOMETIMES YOU CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY AND WHEN YOU CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOORS BECAUSE IT HAS AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR TO MOVE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU MUST RESTART THE CAR UNTIL THE IGNITION RELEASES THE KEY, WHICH PUTS UNDO WEAR AND TEAR ON THE STARTER AND SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP THREE TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO THEY KEPT THE CAR A WEEK TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I JUST LEARNED THAT THE SHOP I AM TAKING IT TO HAS ALL THE APPEARANCE OF A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ARE NOT A DEALERSHIP.

IN APRIL 2014, I TOOK MY CAR TO JOHN BOWMAN CHEVROLET IN CLARKSTON, MICHIGAN FOR THE RECALL NOTICE 14063, IGNITION SWITCH. SINCE THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH I AM NOT ABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE KEY WILL NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION. I MUST REPEATEDLY RESTART THE VEHICLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO REMOVE IT.

I DO NOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. MY CAR DIES RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED A SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE RECALL. I HAD THE RECALLED ITEMS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM 'SUPPOSEDLY' REPAIRED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP. IT CONTINUED TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT BACK SATURDAY TO THE DEALER AND MY CAR IS STILL THERE. THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS DUPLICATING THE DYING SITUATION. I TOLD THEM THEY DON'T NEED TO DUPLICATE IT, JUST RE-REPAIR THE RECALL ITEMS. IF THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND DO NOT WANT IT BACK. THE DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM THE BUSY MAIN STREET OF MY TOWN INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT DIED BEFORE I EVEN REACHED THE CURB (NO BUMP). LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC...

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I CAN BE ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MILES AND THE CAR WILL JUST DIE. I CAN BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL DIE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND TWICE THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE RECALL REPAIR OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IT MIGHT HELP BUT IT HASN'T AND MY KEY STILL GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AT TIMES AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING HANGING ON THE KEY ONLY THE REMOTE. BASICALLY ONCE YOU FEEL THE CAR LOSING POWER AND ALL DASH LIGHTS SHOW UP, YOU NEED TO RESTART THE CAR TO PROCEED. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON THE ROAD. *TR

YET ONE MORE IGNITION HAS FAILED. I HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THE OTHER TWO RECALLS. YET, LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THE LAST REPLACEMENT THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. I TRIED LOOKING FOR THE KEY RELEASE ON THE STEERING COLUMN THAT ON PRIOR RECALLS THEY SAID WAS THERE. IT IS NOT. I HAD TO PULL THE BATTERY CABLES AS BEFORE TO GET THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OFF. I CAME OUT TO THE CAR ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. I SPOKE TO THE GM REP WHO SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER ONE (THE SAME MODEL, ETC) AND I'D HAVE TO COME BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THEM NO, I HAD RECEIVED UNBELIEVABLE HIDEOUS SERVICE THERE SINCE BUYING THE CAR AND WITH THE OTHER RECALLS. WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE HOUR AND A HALF TO THE NEXT NEAREST ONE. AGAIN DECLINED. I...

APPARENTLY EITHER THE "NEW IGNITIONS" ARE ALSO FAULTY OR THE DEALERSHIP LIED ABOUT HAVING REPLACED IT AS THEY DID ABOUT HAVING COMPLETED THE 3RD RECALL REPAIRS (I'D RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM SOME WEEKS LATER SAYING THE PARTS WERE NOW IN AND TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE WORK DONE). THIS EVENING AT ABOUT 5:35PM PACIFIC TIME I CAME HOME AND YET ONE MORE TIME THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AS IT WAS IN THE ALT POSITION. I TRIED 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER A SPAN OF 10-15 MINUTES TO NO AVAIL. THE HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE TURNED OFF MANUALLY AS DID THE OVERHEAD LIGHT. I WAS GETTING MY HOUSE KEY OFF THE RING SO I COULD GET MY TOOLS OUT OF THE HOUSE TO ONE MORE TIME DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND DECIDED TO TRY TO REMOVE THE KEY AGAIN. IT WAS...

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN APR 2013 FROM A USED DEALER. SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED POWER MODE, THUS DEGRADING THE POWER THAT THE ENGINE WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. AFTER OVER A YEAR OF TAKING MY VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT SHOPS TO BE REPAIRED, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ECM. GM RELEASED A SERIES OF ECM SERIAL / PART NUMBERS THAT WERE KNOW TO BE AN ISSUE, AND THAT WAS ALSO IN THE TSB. I AM UNCLEAR ON HOW GM IS ABLE TO NARROW THIS ISSUE DOWN TO A SPECIFIC SERIES OF SERIAL / PART NUMBERS BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION ON THIS PART. THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS I STATED ABOVE IT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE...

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 2006 SATURN ION 2. THE KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THERE, OR BE HARD TO PUT IT IN ALL THE WAY BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER KEY WAS OUT AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS WOULD ALL COME ON EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS OFF. SUDDENLY MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER (ALL GAUGES DEAD) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WARNING LIGHTS. THEY WOULD ALWAYS STAY ON EVEN WHEN CAR WAS OFF AND KEY WAS OUT. LATER, JUST AS SUDDEN THE CLUSTER WORKED FINE AGAIN, ONLY TO DIE A MONTH LATER LEAVING ALL WARNING LIGHTS ALWAYS ON AGAIN. WHILE ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING I WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CAUSING THE CLUSTER TO MALFUNCTION AND EVENTUALLY BURNED...
