2003 SATURN ION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE STARTER SWITCH RECALL. *SMD

THE WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND MAKING TURNS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT.IT HAPPENS WHEN EVER I MAKE A TURN IN DRIVE AND WHEN I AM BACKING UP FROM PARK. IT STARTED WHEN THE CAR MILAGE HIT OVER 100,000. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO FLUSH THE POWER STEERING FLUID. WE DID THAT AND THE PROBLEM SITLL HAPPENS. IT STARTED AGAIN ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER WE PICKED UP THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE RACK AND THE PUMP. WILL COST ME OVER $1500. IS THIS ON A RECALL?

SATURN AURA 2008 TAIL LAMP MALFUNCTION. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TUSTIN GM FOR BRAKE REPAIR AND BRAKE LIGHT REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, I WASN'T TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL. 2 WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED MY TRACTION CONTROL, ESC AND PANIC BRAKE ASSISTANCE WERE NOT WORKING ALONG WITH CRUISE CONTROL AND A FEW OTHER FEATURES. IT OCCURRED RANDOMLY AFTER AT LEAST AN HOUR OF DRIVING. I NOTICED AFTER A FEW TIMES THIS OCCURRED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE I WAS IN PARK WITH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF. I TESTED IT, AND THEY INDEED TURNED OFF WHEN I ENGAGED MY BRAKES, ONLY TO ILLUMINATE AGAIN WHEN I DISENGAGED MY BRAKES. I WAS VERY NERVOUS DRIVING IT HOME AND HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS ON THE CITY STREET STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS. I BROUGHT THIS BACK TO TUSTIN GM'S ATTENTION AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S BEEN CORRECTED AND IT'S NOW MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE CHARGES OF FIXING IT. I REFUSED AND BROUGHT IT TO ORANGE COAST BUICK GMC AND CADILLAC. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND REFUSED TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL, WOULDN'T EVEN CHECK. I MADE A CASE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION IS TO DRIVE THE UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND THEN BRING IT INTO A DEALER SO THEY CAN FIND OUT THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM MY PROBLEM DOES NOT CORRELATE WITH THE RECALL IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, AND HAVE DONE EVERYTHING SHORT OF CALLING ME A LIAR. I NOW HAVE A RENTAL VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM DEPENDED ON BY MY ELDERS TO BRING THEM TO AND FROM APPOINTMENTS. I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED, PROPERLY, AND HOPEFULLY SOME TYPE OF COST ASSISTANCE WITH THE RENTAL VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO CAN'T SEEM TO TELL ME THE EXACT DATE THE RECALL WAS REMEDIED. FIRST THEY SAID JANUARY, THEN THEY SAID AUGUST. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FIRST PROBLEM IS DOOR CHIMES WITH KEY OUT OF IGNITION. SECOND PROBLEM IS DOME LIGHT STAYS ON IN FRONT OR REAR POSITION WITH ALL DOORS SHUT. THIRD PROBLEM IS NO POWER AT ALL TO THE CAB WHEN I TRIED TO START CAR, AND THEN MY PASSENGER OPENED AND SHUT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. I HAD TO RESET THE CLOCK AND RADIO.

TAKATA RECALL ?? I WAS DRIVING HOME, HEARD A LOUD NOISE IN BACK OF CAR, DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. GOT HOME, WENT TO BACK IN GARAGE & REVERSE WOULD NOT WORK. PUT IN DRIVE, VERY SLUGGISH MOVEMENT. WAS ABLE TO PARK, BUT NEXT MORNING, HUSBAND WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT ANY GEARS TO WORK. CAR WAS TOWED, TOLD TRANSMISSION.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. ..UPDATED 03/22/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED WITH THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION. I DID HAVE THIS FIXED BY A DEALER AS DIRECTED. SOON AFTER THIS WAS FIXED MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CHARGED ME HUNDREDS TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHO ALSO CHARGED ME HUNDREDS AND COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE EITHER. I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL FIX AND WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL.
