2007 SATURN ION Complaints

THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY AFTER NOT RUNNING FOR AWHILE. IT ALSO SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. AFTER INVESTIGATING RECALLS ON THE 2007 SATURN ION I DISCOVERED A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR CARS IN CERTAIN STATES, OHIO WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. THE RECALL MENTIONED THAT IT WAS FOR CARS REGISTERED OR SOLD IN THE "HOT" STATES. THE DEALER WOULDN'T EVEN LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE IT WHILE WAITING FOR PARTS. THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE WIDESPREAD.

HAD IGNITION RECALL DONE, NOW KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION SO CAR CAN NOT BE TURNED TO OFF POSITION OR REMOVE KEY. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE RECALL WAS DONE. HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL SATURN. THIS SHOULD' BE A RECALL ITEM BY GMC AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY INSTALLING FAULTY PARTS. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. WHEN I TALKED TO THE GMC DEALER I WAS TOLD SINCE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. (EVEN THO WITH FAULTY PARTS) IT WOULD COST $110.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEN A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY CAUSED WHEN DOING THE RECALL

COMPLAINTS INVOLVING AUTOMATIC POWER GEAR SHIFT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. HAVE TO KEEP ON STARTING AND SHIFTING IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DISENGAGED THE KEY OUT. CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AFRAID WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER WE HAD A RECALL ON IGNITION WHICH WAS REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS AN ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL, YEAR, CAR WITH DIFFERENT VIN#. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD INTO THIS SITUATION FOR WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VIN# ALSO. I HAD TO CALL A LOCK SMITH ONE TIME BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OFF IGNITION SINCE THEN HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND THEN I GO TO PARK IT AND NOT ABLE TO TAKE KEY OUT OF IGNITION BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, THEN 1 TURN TO THE LEFT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD RECALL 14063 AND 14113 PERFORMED ON MY CAR. I TOLD THE MECHANIC ABOUT IT, AND IT WORKED CORRECTLY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN WENT BACK TO NOT LETTING ME GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED A CERTAIN WAY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRY TO LEAVE AFTER I PARK.
