A GENERAL MOTOR RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST FOR A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ONLY ON CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THE PAST YEAR. A PROBLEM IS CORROSION OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE AND THE TORQUE SENSOR CONNECTOR MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL CAUSE GREATER OPERATING POWER BY THE DRIVER UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING AND CAUSES A GREATER CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BECAUSE THE DIFFICULTY IN DRIVING A VEHICLE EFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS MADE THIS A RECALL TO BE FIXED IN THE DEALER, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SATURN ION WAS INVOLVED, AND I HAD IT CORRECTED, BUT WHAT I EXPERIENCED BEFORE, IS BACK AGAIN, AND I BELIEVE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MANY RECALLS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN REOCCURRING ISSUES WITH VEHICLES, AND THIS MAY BE ANOTHER ONE.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE & ITS ONLY JANUARY I'VE HAD A FUEL LEAK AND HAD TO REPLACE IT I'VE HAD BAD STRUTS HAD TO REPLACE IT BAD ALTERNATOR REPLACED IT BAD BATTERY REPLACED IT BAD BRAKES & ROTORS & I REPLACED IT. IT'S JUST A HORRIBLE CAR AND I WISH I HAD SPENT MY MONEY ELSE WHERE IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I TRADE IN THIS CAR FOR SOMETHING THE SAME VALUE I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR.

I HAVE TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER REPLACED - THE CAR DROPS TO 1ST GEAR AND DOESN'T MOVE UP, THE DOOR LOCKS LOCK THEN UNLOCK AND CONTINUE TO DO THAT, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE POWER STEERING ALARM COMES ON (BUT I DON'T LOSE POWER STEERING) AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING! THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING WITH NO NOTICE EXCEPT THE DOOR LOCKS START FIRST THEM THE OTHER ISSUES HAPPEN SIMULTANEOUSLY.
