SATURN Complaints

WHILE TURNING LEFT THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE . THE RECALL THAT IS ACTIVE DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN NUMBER , EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THE SAME FAILURE . I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD EITHER BE EXPANDED OR TAKEN ON BY CASE . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING), NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INFORM WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON THE HWY AND THE OTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND T-BONED ME ON THE DRIVER SIDE. MY FACE AND BODY SMASHED INTO THE DRIVERS DOOR CAUSING SEVER WHIPLASH AND OTHER THINGS NOT YET IDENTIFIED BY MY DOCTOR. THE DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE WAS SMASHED PUSHING UP AGAINST THE SEATS (FRONT AND BACK) NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM STILL SEEING DOCTORS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SHOULDER, NECK, AND BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY MEDICAL CARE IS STILL NEEDED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON THE HWY AND THE OTHER PERSON RAN A STOP SIGN AND T-BONED ME ON THE DRIVER SIDE. MY FACE AND BODY SMASHED INTO THE DRIVERS DOOR CAUSING SEVER WHIPLASH AND SOME OTHER THINGS YET IDENTIFIED BY AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON. THE DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR DRIVERS DOOR IS SMASHED ALL THE WAY TO THE SEATS, PUSHING ON THE SEATS AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM STILL SEEING DOCTORS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SHOULDER, NECK AND BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY MEDICAL CARE IS STILL NEEDED. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR CONSTANTLY JERKING AS THE CAR ACCELERATED UP TO 40MPH. I ASSUMED I MUST HAVE PUT BAD GAS IN MY CAR SINCE I VISITED A GAS STATION I NORMALLY DO NOT FREQUENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS BAD GAS BUT HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND CLEARLY IT WAS NOT BAD GAS AND I GOT RIPPED OFF FOR REPLACING MY FUEL PUMP AND HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE WASTED OVER $2K TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS WITH MY CAR AND I STILL HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS AS PROOF. THE CAR JERKS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUT AND VERY HOT, MY CAR STALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEGAN. I HAVE HAD TONS OF DIAGNOSTICS DONE AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS "MISFIRING". I HAD MY THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, CHECKED MY FUEL LINES AND INJECTORS, HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHECKED, AND HAD THE MAF SENSOR REPLACED TWICE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE BUT THREW FALSE CODES SPECIFICALLY THE MAF SENSOR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR A YEAR AND I NOTICED OTHER SATURN AURA DRIVERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO HELP FROM GM OR A SOLUTION. I KEEP THE MAINTENANCE UP ON MY CAR SO I DO BELIEVE THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF KNOWN FAILURE WITH THESE CARS. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED AND FLUSHED AND WAS TOLD ITS IN GOOD CONDITION. SO EITHER THIS IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR A BAD PART THAT IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I WOULD LIKE FOR RECALL TO BE MADE ON THIS MODEL SINCE NUMEROUS OF DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN RELAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EGR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

ALSO THAT WEBBING IN REAR SEAT BELTS DOES NOT RETRACT AND IS FRAYED THROUGH AND MAY RESULT IS FAILURE TO RESTRAIN OCCUPANTS. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS ALL THE RECALLS WERE ADDRESS PRIOR TO THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE (1 OWNER) BEFORE IT'S SELL TO ME THE CONSUMER. *TR
