I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON IT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH PASSENGERS. MY GAS CAP LIGHT IS ON AND OFF AS WELL, AND NOW, WATER IS POOLING ON THE FLOOR FOR NO REASON AFTER A DEALER LOOKED AT MY CAR. I HAVE REPORTED MY AIRBAG CASE TO GM, AS WELL AS TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE. I FEEL LIKE AIRBAG ISSUES SHOULD BE COVERED IN ALL VEHICLES, PARTICULARLY IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A CRASH. I DO NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO TURN IT ON/OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT MAY DEPLOY FOR NO REASON, POSSIBLY INJURING MY PASSENGERS. ALL OF MY ISSUES ARE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. (REPORTED BY FRIEND OF VEHICLE OWNER) NO DOCUMENTATION OTHER THAN CASE NUMBER INFO GIVEN TO GM. SPECIFIC DATE JUST SEPT 2015.

WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF HAVING THE FIRST RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH REPAIRED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM TIMES. SOME TIMES IT WILL STAY ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND TURNING OFF AT SOME POINT INTO THE DRIVE, OR IT WILL ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING, STAY ILLUMINATED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN SHUT OFF. HAD THE SECOND RECALL THAT STILL IMPACTED THE KEY BEING ABLE TO BE REMOVED WHICH REQUIRED THE GEAR SHIFT TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. SINCE THE SECOND REPAIR THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES MORE FREQUENTLY. SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE SINCE HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATE PRIOR TO RECALLS BEING REPAIRS.

FUEL CRACK AROUND FUEL PUMP. LEAKED FUEL. DEALER COVERED AND FIXED UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN 12191. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT NOT IN MY STATE.

THERE IS A BOSH/CDR REPORT FROM ESIS OF GENERAL MOTORS OUTLINING THE DATA RECEIVED FROM THE CRASH FOR NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. MR. SEGOVIA OF GM STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED BASED ON THE STATISTIC FROM THIS REPORT. I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS STATED. I NEED A REVIEW OF THE REPORT FOR COMPLIANCE REGARDING THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG TO MY 2007 SATURN ION. GM THROUGH ESIS HAS REFUSED TO SURRENDER THE REPORT TO THE DEFECTED SEATBELTS. MY GENERAL MOTORS PENDING CLAIM #816261. I HAVE NOTICED ANDREW SEGOVIA, ESQ., MS. MARY T. BARRA, CEO, MR. DANIEL AMMANN, PRESIDENT OF GM REGARDING THE SECOND HALF OF THE CLAIM OF THE DEFAULTED/RECALL OF THE POWER STEERING DURING THE CRASH. MR. SEGOVIA HAS CONFIRMED ESIS'S EMAIL STATING THAT THERE WAS A POWER STEERING RECALL/DEFECT TO MY CAR VIN NUMBER AND REMAINED OPEN. THERE WAS THE DEBRIS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT AND THEN THERE WAS THE DEFECTED POWER STEERING PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 SATURN ION WHICH CAUSED THE CRASH. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BY GM. THE DEFAULTED POWER STEERING CAUSED THE CRASH. IN THE OUTSET OF THIS CLAIM, GENERAL MOTORS WAS AWARE THAT THE POWER STEERING OF THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SO THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRASH INTO THE RAIL GUARD BUT FAILED. I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POWER STEERING RECALL AND DEFECT, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND OPERABLE AT THE TIME THE CAR CRASHED. BUT GENERAL MOTORS DEFECTED POWER STEERING CAUSED ME TO HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE RAIL GUARD SO THE CAR WOULD NOT CRASH INTO THE RAIL GUARD. THE POWER STEERING WAS INOPERABLE AND AS A RESULT CAUSED THE CRASH. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE BACK FROM GENERAL MOTORS IN THE RESOLUTION/SETTLEMENT OF THIS MATTER AS WELL AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE LOANER VEHICLE.

WHEN PARKING MY CAR AT A VERY LOW SPEED, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PARK MY CAR.

SUBSTANDARD FUEL LINE COMPLETELY ROTTED IN 2 PLACES DUE TO SALT FROM WINTER MONTHS.
