HIGHWAY BOUNCING? UNBALANCED FEELING UNDER VEHICLE? REPLACE STRUTS ASAP!! OKAY FOR THE PAST 30,000 MILES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHAT I COULD DESCRIBE AS A CONSTANT BOUNCE. THE BOUNCE HAS NOW BECOME SO VIOLENT THAT CROSSING A BRIDGE ON A HIGHWAY THE BUMP WILL INCREASE THE AGGRESSION OF THE BOUNCE TO THE POINT THAT YOU BOUNCE RIGHT OFF OF THE ROAD. I HAVE SLOWLY BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES THIS BOUNCING WOBBLE. AFTER NEW RIMS,CV-HALF SHAFTS, LUGNUTS, TIRES, STABILIZER END-LINKS, TIE-ROD ENDS, INNER TIE-ROD ENDS, AND BALL JOINTS. THE BOUNCE GOT MORE CONTROLLABLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD. NOT LONG AFTER THE NEW PARTS STARTED TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN. FINALLY DURING THE PURCHASE OF ALL OF THESE THINGS OVER AGAIN. I FIND AN INSTANCE WHERE THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CONSTANT BOUNCE AS ALWAYS (4 MECHANICS ---- I AM PRETTY MECHANICALLY INCLINED, BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM) THIS OTHER INDIVIDUAL GOES UP ON A BRIDGE (HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND BOUNCES STRAIGHT ACROSS AND RIGHT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE DITCH. LUCKILY IN BOTH OF OUR CASES WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOME TALL GRASS AND SLIDING AROUND IN THE DIRT A BIT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. HE TAKES HIS FAMILY AND CAR TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC (THEY WERE GOING ON VACATION) AND THIS MECHANIC KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. RELIEVED THIS PERSON WAS THAT HE HAD FINALLY FOUND A MECHANIC THAT SOLVED THIS WRETCHED, ANNOYING, AND ODD PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. THE STRUTS WERE COMPLETELY SHOT. THE CAR WAS NOT SAGGING ACCORDING TO MEASUREMENTS. BUMPS WEREN'T VIOLENT. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE OLD STRUTS I COULD LITERALLY PUSH THEM DOWN WITH ONE FINGER. LET GO AND WATCH AS THEY JUST RELAX IN PLACE. ANYONE EXPERIENCING A HIGHWAY BOUNCING WOBBLE LIKE SOMETHING IS UNBALANCED THEN REPLACE YOUR STRUTS!! *TR

I FIRST BOUGHT MY 2006 SATURN ION IN MARCH OF 2013. THREE DAYS LATER I NOTICE THAT WHEN I WOULD GET ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD SWAY EXTREMELY BAD. OUR HWY SPEED IS 75. GOING 70MPH WAS TOO MUCH AND IT WOULD SWAY A LOT. MIND YOU I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. THE CAR SPUN OUT AS I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE CARS WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THANK GOD I GOT OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE I GOT HIT. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW UPSET I WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS 4MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND HAS SPUN OUT 5 TIMES DRIVING OUR CAR. WE'VE TAKING IT TO THE MECHANICS MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. OUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS ARE FINE. ALSO, OUR KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION A LOT UPON TURNING IT OFF. SO WE HAVE TO USE THE BUTTON WHICH IS IN THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO GET THEM OUT. ALSO, LATELY THE CAR PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE. LATELY I CAN FLOOR IT AND THE CAR WILL STILL BE GOING 30MPH. ALSO, LATELY WHEN WE GO TO TURN ON THE CAR, IT TAKES AWHILE AND MAKES A SOUND AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD, BUT THEN IT SOON COMES ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE START. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD BUY, BUT EVERYDAY I REGRET IT AND I FEAR FOR ME, MY HUSBAND, AND MY CHILD'S SAFETY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT JUST TAKE OUR CARS. WE DON'T NEED THEM FIXED. JUST TAKE THEM PLEASE! *TR

2006 SATURN ION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD RECENTLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED TWICE AND FINALLY, THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED. RECENTLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING PULLED. ALSO, WHEN SHE PUSHED THE SHIFTER KNOB, THERE WAS A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

IT WOULD GO OUT AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION, WHILE DRIVING. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE, WHEN SHE DROVE OVER A BUMP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. UPDATED 08/06/14

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTIONING DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, DRIVER WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR BECAUSE NEITHER THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WOULD ACTUATE THE DOOR LATCH, OPENING THE DOOR. EXTERIOR, INTERIOR MANUAL, INTERIOR POWER AND REMOTE POWER LOCKS WERE REPEATEDLY ACTUATED TO NO AVAIL. EVENTUALLY, THE DOOR FINALLY OPENED AFTER USING A HANGAR THROUGH THE WINDOW CAVITY TO BUMP ONE OF THE LINKAGE ARMS. IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT, THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO A SUCCESSFUL EVACUATION. *TR

IGNITION STUCK IN "ON" POSITION, CAN'T REMOVE KEY. *TR

THE DEALER HAD GIVIN ME NOTHING BUT LIES AND THE FUN AROUND AND ATTITUDE. HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED BY AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC THE CAR IN UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROADS AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE PASSED INSPECTION WHICH THE DEALER DID. I REALLY NEED HELP. I KNOW IT'S A GOOD CHANCE IT'S A FLOOD CAR THEY SOLD ME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I NEEDED TO USE THE SPARE TIRE, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN USED,TO HAVE A TIRE REPAIRED. THE TIRE WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION AND COULD NOT BE USE EVEN ONCE. THE TIRE INFORMATION IS T115/70R1488M RADIAL TUBELESS. *TR

3 EXPLODED TIRES WITH ONLY 60,000MI ON THEM AND ALL WITHIN 6MOS. TOTAL BLOWOUTS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT TREADWEAR. TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED, TOTALING $348.61. ONE OF THE USED TIRES IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. NO WEAR OR WOBBLE OR ANY SIGNS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE. WE TOOK IT TO CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO TOLD US HE HAS SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON THE SATURN IONS. THERE IS CORROSION ON THE INSIDE OF THE TURN SIGNAL BULB SOCKET WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW A GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. A LADY ALMOST HIT US HEAD ON BECAUSE IN THE CAR, IT APPEARS WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LANE SIGNAL, EVERYTHING IS FUNCTIONING WELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES THINKING IT WAS THE BULBS, BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT CORRECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH INTERIOR LIGHTING ALSO PROBLEM WITH ELECTRICAL POWER DOOR LOCK (DRIVER SIDE) AND POWER WINDOWS, IN WHICH ALL RIDERS FEEL THEY ARE SUFFOCATING.DUE TO UNATTAINABLE NATURAL AIR. *TR

I HYDRAPLAINED, DID A 360 AND GOT HIT HEAD ON. I HAD MY SET BELT ON, BUT IT DID NOT CATCH AND LOCK IN PLACE, AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT INFLATE....TO STOP ME FROM HITTING TO REAR VIEW MIRROR WITH MY HEAD, MY CHEST ON THE SHEARING WHEEL AND MY LEGS WITH THE UNDER PART OF THE DASH...I WAS ON A MAIN HWY...I DO NOT HAVE THE POLICE REPORT , BUT I DO HAVE A FEW PICTURE..

THE SEAT BELT GET LOOKED IN BUCKLE AND DON'T RELEASE WHEN U TRY TO UNLOCK IT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THEY ALWAYS LOCK UP WHEN PUTTING YOUR SEAT BELT ON THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE IS IN STATIONARY .

KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF. HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY LUBRICATE THE SYSTEM BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT BEGAN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND STILL PERSISTS TODAY. WE CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE TIME OFF FROM WORK TO TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP TO BE TOLD THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE IGNITION SYSTEM OR THE TRANSMISSION/GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM THAT MAY BE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IN THE FIRST 18 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONING COOLANT HAS RUN OUT AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE LEAK, AND THE SUNROOF BROKE. FINALLY, ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR WENT OVER A BUMP AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ACTED AS THOUGH THE CAR HAD A WRECK, CUTTING THE MOTOR AND SHOWING THE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED WHEN IT HAD NOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED UP JUST FINE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECTS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND CAN'T THINK OF HOW/WHY IT HAPPENED. *JB
