SATURN Complaints

ON MARCH 9,2016 MY DAUGHTER DROVE TO THE STORE FROM MY WORK PLACE. WHEN SHE RETURN TO MY JOB WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT THE STIRRING WHEEL LOCKED AND SHE COULDN'T TURN. GOOD THING SHE HAD MADE IT OFF HIGHWAY OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT IF IT WENT OUT AT LIGHT AS SHE TURNED ON ROAD TO MY WORK PLACE. I HAD MY UNCLE TO PULL CAR TO FAMILY MECHANIC SHOP THEY THEN CHECKED ON IT AND TOLD ME TO ORDER POWER STIRRING MOTOR. AFTER THEN MY UNCLE FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN RECALL ON POWER STIRRING GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ACCIDENTS. MY UNCLE TOOK THE CAR TO GMC IN DUBLIN,GA ON MARCH TWENTY FIFTH 2016. THE GMC JUST CHECKED ON THE CAR APRIL 4,2016.

CRACKED WAVE PLATE REQUIRING A REBUILD OF THE TRANSMISSION. LOST ALL GEARS EXCEPT FOR 1ST WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET.GM REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR COMPLETELY EVEN THOUGH THEY DO FOR SOME 2009 SATURN AURAS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE WHILE THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

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.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED. AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON, AND THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER READS "SERVICE AIRBAG".

THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT NO LONGER WORKS! SENSOR LIGHT IS CONTINUOUS ON! MY CAR IS GENTLY USED W/UNDER 20,000 MILES ON IT! IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE PROBLEM STARTED 06/14 BUT YOUR CALENDAR WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE DATE.
