Have been having electrical problems with my 2007 Saturn Ion for several months. The radio will turn on and off by itself and it's display panel flashes all kinds of patterns, can't usually tell if it's on or off, since the flashing occurs either way. The windows will quit working but after turning my car off and on repeatedly, they will work again. Today the power steering went out while I was backing out of a parking spot and I couldn't turn the wheel. After pulling back into the spot and turning the car off and on, the problem went away and I drove home. I told my dad what it did and he said my sister had the same problem with her Saturn vue and she had to have her body module (?) replaced. He said hers got to the point that the lights would turn off and on and sometimes she wasn't able to start her car. There was a recall on my Saturn Ion's steering column and they replaced it and had to put in a new ignition along with new keys. I know my car is older, but since my sister's Saturn vue had the same odd electrical take overs, it may be too common of a problem. Thank you for your attention and have a good day. 😊

Saturn Ion 2007 recall the other day I got an alert on the display of my car that stated "pwr strg" I was on the expressway and almost got into an accident that could have killed my 3 young children and myself. We were terrified. I was able to get on the shoulder of the highway by forcing the stirring wheel to turn. I then looked under the hood to see if I had a leak of power stirring fluid but to my surprise did not find anywhere that would indicate such a thing. When I turned the car back on to see what could be the problem the msg was gone. I was able to drive the car home but before I got home the msg came back on and I had to repeat it almost getting into a second car accident. I immediately did research on what could be the problem once I got safely home and found out that GM had recalled the "power steering electric motor assist" due to others having the same problem. When I called GM to get assistance they told me that they would not cover the charges due to the previous owner getting the replacement of the same part back in 2014. I disagree with the decision that I should be responsible for replacing and paying for the part that has been recalled for the exact same reason. Power steering going out for no reason at all and then returning once I start the car back up. I believe they placed another defective steering motor in the car and my families safely should not be compromised for this over sight. I cannot afford to replace it and should not have to since it is not something different that is wrong but the same exact thing. I would like to know my rights on this issue and if they are still liable for replacing this part or am I.

Vehicle will not turn over to start, all other functions work( radio, lights, etc.) upon inspection of vehicle I was told that there is a recall on the ignition switch again! the only way to get the car restarted is to jump it. A Toyota dealership told me to get this resolved again, so I am writing this to get it fixed once and for all. I love my Saturn and would like to know can I take it immediately to a GM dealer.

Had ignition recall done, now key gets stuck in ignition so car can not be turned to off position or remove key. This never happened before recall was done. Have seen many similar complaints about this issue with this model Saturn. This should' be a recall item by GMC as it is obviously installing faulty parts. I believe this item could possibly cause a fire hazard. When I talked to the GMC dealer I was told since the recall had already been done. (even tho with faulty parts) it would cost $110 just to check it out and then a couple hundred more to fix the problem they caused when doing the recall

Complaints involving automatic power gear shift not working properly. Not able to engage the gear shift in order to be able to get the key out of ignition. Have to keep on starting and shifting in order to be able to disengaged the key out. Can no longer drive the car because afraid won't be able to get the key out of ignition. This all started after we had a recall on ignition which was replaced. There is a recall on this issue but for some reason this VIN# was not included in the recall. This is an issue on the same model, year, car with different VIN#. I would appreciate it if you would into this situation for which I'm pretty sure there should be a recall on this VIN# also. I had to call a lock smith one time because I wasn't able to get the key out off ignition since then haven't driven the car. This happens after I've been driving and then I go to park it and not able to take key out of ignition because the gear shift isn't working properly.

Within 2 months of having the first recall on the ignition switch repaired the airbag light on the dashboard will illuminate at random times. Some times it will stay on after starting the car and turning off at some point into the drive, or it will illuminate while driving, stay illuminated for a period of time and then shut off. Had the second recall that still impacted the key being able to be removed which required the gear shift to be replaced less than a year after the ignition switch was replaced. Since the second repair the air bag light illuminates more frequently. See many others have had the same issue since have the repairs completed. The air bag light never illuminate prior to recalls being repairs.

Had vehicle taken in for ignition switch recall per notice. After repairs for which my vehicle was in shop for almost 30 days, I was given vehicle back. After 2 weeks the ignition switch would still stick and not allow for the key to be returned to the off switch after several tries. I just have dealt with this for awhile now, but not it is becoming more of an issue and I feel the recall parts are not working.
