SATURN Complaints

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR, I BELIEVE IT IS ELECTRIC, WHEN I MAKE A TURN SOMETIMES IT GOES OUT THEN THE TURN BECOMES HARD, THEN COMES BACK IN TO MAKE THE TURN EASY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE CONTACT AND PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR HEAD INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 125000 MILES. THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY FAILS. DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS THE ESC FAIL LIGHT COMES ON AND GIVES A WARNING MESSAGE OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. IT REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE SHUTDOWN AND RESTARTED.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP AND STILL WHINES A LOT WHEN A LOT WHEN IT'S COLD WHEN IT'S COLD IT SOUNDS REALLY ROUGH AND IT JUST DON'T SOUND TO PROMISING BUT EVEN AFTER IT WARMS UP IT STILL HAS WHINE TOO IT

NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION NOW EVERY TIME I KILL THE ENGINE I HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH A JUMP STARTER CAMSHAFT AND TIMING ADVANCES PROBLEMS

DLR LIGHTS WENT OUT, POOR GAS MILLAGE, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE NOT LIKE A REGULAR TRANSMISSION THE GEARS ARE STAYING TO LONG BEFORE SHIFTING.

WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, I HAVE TROUBLE REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

VIBRATION OF MY STEERING WHEEL. MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS FAILING. THE SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE MESSAGES SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN I TRY STARTING MY CAR. THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND LOCKS UP. I TRIED TURNING IT ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL LOCKS UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SATURN VUE. WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND SEIZED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MOTOR AND THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED MILTON RUBEN SUPERSTORE AT (888) 516-3797 (3512 WASHINGTON RD, AUGUSTA, GA 30907) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,102.

TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON (TRIANGLE ON DASH) WILL DISPLAY THEN GAUGES START FLICKERING BACK AND FOURTH LIKE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THEN ON DISPLAY IT SAYS SERVICE ESC AND CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS AND YOU CANNOT STEER OR CONTROL VEHICLE PROPERLY WITH THESE ISSUES GOING ON. I ENTERED MY VIN BECAUSE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THESE ISSUES BUT IT SAYS MY VIN WAS NOT RECALLED. ONCE CAR IS SHUT OFF IT WILL RESET ITSELF I GUESS BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW.
