2007 Saturn Ion Problems

The power steering (the Eps, worst system ever) has been randomly cutting in and out driving down the road and traffic making turns shutting down and making it almost impossible to drive or Park stay between lines adjust as needed and it cuts in and out it has been fixed per recall once but it still continues to do it it hasn't even been 14,000 miles since the recall was fixed and it is still cutting in and out of the dash says power steering and you can't turn the wheel.

Power steering went out. I was driving and I was on the freeway and the steering wouldn't move like it should. It became very hard to steer so I exited off the highway and pulled in to a store barely missing the sign. I call a friend and had the car towed home and looked at. I was told the eps went out. The next time I started the car it said power steering on the odometer. The dealership said the recall was closed out already. But I still have no ability to steer the car. It sits unrepaired and I undrivable.

This problem has been ongoing for a while. The key gets stuck in the ignition for a while. Have to wait until it finally clicks twice. I have taken vehicle 3 different times to have this repaired. Last for a month or two and same thing starts happening again.

Car just shuts off while driving. Iginition gets stuck. Have to push button in hole on underside of ignition for key to release. Happens all the time. Constant.

My 2007 Saturn Ion recently started leaking drops of gasoline near the driver side rear tire. It is either an issue with the fuel line or the tank. It has not been inspected by the dealership yet. I get a gas cap warning message, but I'm not sure if it is related.

The contact's parents own a 2007 Saturn Ion. The contact stated that there was a fuel odor coming from the vehicle when the vehicle was started or turned off. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's father inspected the vehicle but could not find a fuel leak. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V459000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) which she linked to the failure. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE KEY DOSENT WANT TO COME OUT THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION. AND THE RED AIR BAG DOSENT SHUT OFF FROM THE DASHBOARD IT STAYS RED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING, AN UNUSUAL TAPPING NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLICKERED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I NEED TO KNOW WHY YOUR SYSTEM SHOWS NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE USING THE VIN NUMBER, BUT HAS (7) RECALLS IF I USE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, THE SYSTEM SHOULD ALLOW ME TO RUN THE VIN, SEE ALL RECALLS, AND EVEN REPORT WITH PROOF IF THE RECALL IS COMPLETE, LIKE A CHECK LIST. YOUR SYSTEM IS USELESS IF THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT AGREEING TO THE RECALLS UNDER THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND ASSIGNING THE RECALLS TO THE VIN TO GRANT APPROVAL TO DEALERS TO REPAIR, A DEALER WILL NOT COMPLETE A GM RECALL UNLESS GM APPROVES OF THE RECALL FOR A PARTICULAR VIN. I HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE THAT FALLS IN THE CATEGORY OF THE RECALLS, BUT I'M NOT PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THESE REPAIRS, WHEN THEY ARE KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES.

CAR CUTS OFF A/C WONT WORK UNLESS ON MAX AND MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING. CPU ISSUE LIKE RPM FLUCTUATES I THINK ITS THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY CPU PROBLEM AND ITS JERKS ALOT DEALER SAID AINT NOTHING THE CAN DO BOUT IT BUT THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT WITH IN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE TIME. SO IT CUTS OFF WHILE RIDING AND JERKS WHILE IM ON THE BREAKS

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Ion. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed, the accelerator pedal was released and became stuck causing the vehicle to unintendedly accelerate to 90 MPH. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow down. The contact manually lifted the accelerator pedal and was able to merge to the side of the road. The vehicle was driven to the local dealer but not diagnosed or repaired due to the warranty being expired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

I HIT MY BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT MY CAR WENT TO LEFT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT STRUTS SHIFTED AND CAUSING THE UPPER CONTROL ARM TO SNAP AND BRAKE OFF CAUSING MY CAR TO GO TO THE LEFT INTO ANOTHER CAR. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO REGARDING FUEL TANK. HOWEVER, IT SPECIFIED CERTAIN STATES OF ORIGIN. I DISREGARDED NOTICE SINCE I WAS NOT RESIDING IN ONE OF THOSE STATES. MY CAR PERIODICALLY SMELLS OF GAS, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW PERFORMANCE LIGHT GOES ON/OFF AND MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED RECALL. MY SUSPENSION ISSUES HAVE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF BEARING AND SWAY BAR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND DINGS AS A REMINDER EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE.

HAD VEHICLE TAKEN IN FOR IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PER NOTICE. AFTER REPAIRS FOR WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP FOR ALMOST 30 DAYS, I WAS GIVEN VEHICLE BACK. AFTER 2 WEEKS THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD STILL STICK AND NOT ALLOW FOR THE KEY TO BE RETURNED TO THE OFF SWITCH AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I JUST HAVE DEALT WITH THIS FOR AWHILE NOW, BUT NOT IT IS BECOMING MORE OF AN ISSUE AND I FEEL THE RECALL PARTS ARE NOT WORKING.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS IGNITION FOR YEARS, HAVING TO JIGGLE IT TO START THE CAR, A KEY TIP BROKE OFF FROM TRYING TO TURN IT. I ALSO WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT FUEL LINE RECALL THAT I HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED AND PAID FOR. MY ENGINE HAS ALSO LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR YEARS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY? I DON'T FEEL SAFE EVEN DRIVING THIS PIECE OF JUNK TO THE DEALER. *TR

THE MOLDING AND SIDE DOOR PANELS POST AND MIRROR ARE MELTING AND CRIMPLING. THEY WAS REPAIR TWICE. DEALER REFUSED TO CALL THE LOCAL CUSTOMER SERIVE REP FOR SATURN/GMC

THE HOOD LATCH IS HAVING TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 6 YEARS. IT WILL LATCH BUT THE SPRING WILL NOT GO OVER ALL THE WAY SO THE HOOD LATCH DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. I WAS DRIVING FROM NC TO NY AND AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 400 MILES I GOT GAS AND THE HOOD LATCH HAD LOOSENED AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO CLOSE TIGHT. I PULLED UP ON IT AND IT SECONDARY PART OF THE LATCH STAYED CONNECTED SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. ONCE IN NY I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE ENTIRE LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT COST ME $200 AND THE BEST PART IS THAT IT HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE ROUGHLY 6 YEARS AGO. THE FACT THAT I HAD TO PAY $200 FOR SOMETHING THAT IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE.

STARTED DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN ION FROM TAMPA TO ORLANDO. WHEN I NOTICE A VIBRATION THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE. IT GRADUALLY GREW WORSE SO I PULLED OVER. AT WHICH TIME SOMETHING FLEW OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. COMING TO A STOP, I CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAW NOTHING WRONG. I STARTED DRIVING, IN HOPES TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE VIBRATION GOT RIDICULOUS AND I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FLAT. UPON REMOVING THE TIRE, DISCOVERED A LARGE PIECE OF THREADING WAS MISSING ALONG WITH OTHER DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. WHICH IS WHY I DID NOT SEE IT THE FIRST TIME I PULLED OVER. TIRE IS THE GOOD YEAR ASSURANCE. *TR

I NOTICED A VIBRATION ON MY STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I CHECKED THE TIRES I NOTICED A BUBBLE (TIRE SEPARATION?) ON THE INSIDE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN ION'S IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER IS BROKEN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH SATURNS, AND FIXING THE PROBLEM ONCE IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN BACK, HOWEVER, WE COULD COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KEY, AND WE COULD TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR BY PULLING A FUSE FROM THE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND A LOT OF WASTED GAS. WE PURCHASED A NEW IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FROM THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE NOW LEARNED WE ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION STARTER SWITCH. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS MANY SATURNS SHOULD BE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/SATURN_IGNITION_LOCK.HTML HAS OVER 50 PAGES OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *TR

I REPLACE THE LIGHTS AND HAVE A MECHANIC LOOKS AT THE ISSUE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR BUT THEY CONTINUE TO GO OUT CONSTANTLY. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE PAID MANY TICKETS. THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE MY LIGHTS ON MY PREVIOUS CARS LIKE THIS AND IT IS COSTING ME A FORTUNE NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS IF SINCE IT AFFECTS MY TURN SIGNALS AS WELL. *TR
