SATURN Complaints

HAD THE RECALLED SATURN IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. NOW MY CAR STALLS OUT AND DIES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL, AND DOESN'T RESTART FOR AT LEAST 2 MIN.AFTER TURNING EVERYTHING OFF. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITHIN 10 MINS. AFTER RESTARTING. HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ONCE ON HWY GOING 55 THEN RESIDENTIAL GOING 25.

LIGHT FOR AIRBAG COMES ON LIGHT AND SIGNAL FOR SEAT BELT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT IS ENGAGED.

MY WIFE TOLD ME SHE WAS HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY STEERING SO I DROVE THE CAR MYSELF THIS MORNING. AS I STARTED OUT, YES, I FOUND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FELT QUITE KLUNKY. WHEN I GOT UP ON THE FREEWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL JUST LOCKED STRAIGHT AHEAD. I BUMPED THE BRAKES AND HIT THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE CAR TO VEER RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE EXIT. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I MADE IT. THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT A BIT LOOSER AND I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK HOME. IT'S AT THE MECHANIC NOW.

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.

FUEL LEAK. CHANGING FUEL LINE AND HOPEFULLY THAT FIX WORKS. SAME THING CURRENTLY HAPPENING ON OUR 2006 SATURN VIN [XXX]. FRUSTRATING READING ALL THE YEARS OF COMPLAINTS WITH LIMITED RECALLS. DANGEROUS PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LEAKING FUEL. TRYING TO REPLACE FUEL LINE AND SEE IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. HAD SAME PROBLEM 2 MONTHS AGO WITH 2004 SATURN VIN [XXX]. VERY FRUSTRATING TO SEE YEARS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM WITH ONLY LIMITED RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

NOTICED LIQUID DRIPPING FROM DRIVER SIDE OF CAR BY REAR WHEEL WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY PARKING STALL. TOOK THE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP. DEALER CONFIRMED FUEL LINES HAD RUSTED OUT. FUEL LINES AND FUEL FILTER WERE REPLACED.

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DIC, AND CONFIRMATION FROM ONSTAR THAT CODE B0081 IS PRESENT, MEANING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE SEAT SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH SATURN SKYS, AND MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 9023 MILES - ALMOST ALL DRIVEN WITH NO PASSENGER THE COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS SHOWN FROM OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $1000.

HOOD LATCH CABLE FAILED. HOOD WAS SHUT BUT STARTED TO LIFT AND VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ALSO REAR LIFT GATE ELECTRICAL FAILED. COULD NOT OPEN. HAD LOTS OF GROCERIES IN REAR FORCING US TO PULL REAR SEATS DOWN TO RETRIEVE. WHY NO KEY HOLE TO OPEN. SOMEONE DROPPED THE BALL. LIGHT SHIELD ON OVERHEAD PANEL FALLS OUT CONSTANTLY.
