TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,568.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN.

THERE IS SOME SORT OF SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS RANDOMLY DISABLED, ANY THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FUNCTIONING BACKWARDS. THEY ARE ON WHEN NOT PRESSING THE BRAKES, THEN GO OFF WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE MY CRUISE WORKS AGAIN AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO BACK TO NORMAL. A FEW MORE MILES, AND THE ISSUES RETURN. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT. I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T WIND UP IN AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUES: NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10535189 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10533881 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10525153 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10515803 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10508189 *TR

2 MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GM STATING IF I SMELL GAS OR SEE A LEAK BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. IT ALSO STATED IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO BRING IT IN UNLESS I'M EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I HAVE A SENSITIVE NOSE. MONDAY I COULD VISIBLY SEE GAS DRIPPING FROM THE CAR AND THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG I GOT SICK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO GM DEALER. THEY CLAIM THAT THE PARTS AROUND THE RECALLED PART ARE BROKEN AND NOT THE ITEM RECALLED ITSELF. THEY WANTED $974.00 TO FIX IT AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE AWAY AS IT WAS DANGEROUS. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME $75 FOR JUST LOOKING AT IT. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. I THINK THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH SCAMMING PEOPLE. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR! I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND FOUND ANOTHER GARAGE TO REPAIR IT FOR $450. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

MY SON WAS PULLED OVER BY THE LOCAL POLICE FOR FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS. HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, STAY ON AFTER HE HAS RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL OR DON'T COME ON AT ALL. I READ OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE AND WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

AS I AM DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE ECS LIGHT. ALSO WHILE I'M DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AND I HAVE TO EITHER TAP THE BRAKE OR DRIVE WHILE LIGHTLY PRESSING THE BRAKE TO HAVE THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH REPLACED TWICE AND IT STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON AUG. 11, 2013 WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD AND 11 YEAR OLD NIECE AND NEPHEW. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. WENT DOWN A HILL AND THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND I WAS TURNING RIGHT. THE RPMS WENT UP LIKE I WAS GOING REALLY FAST AND THEN REALIZED I WAS NOT GETTING THE GAS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GETTING. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH A CAR BEHIND ME AND TURN AROUND. I WAS SO NERVOUS I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER CAR WAS COMING BECAUSE I COULD BARELY GO IN REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME BY GOING 40 MPH WITH THE RPMS BETWEEN 4 AND 5. IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME SAFELY. *TR
