CarComplaints.com Notes: When it comes to the 2006 Ion, the biggest questions are: what big problem is going to pop up next? And how long until GM chooses to address it?
The 2006 Ion has a defective ignition switch that gave owners fits. Their keys would get stuck in the ignition, the engine wouldn’t shut off or in some cases it would shut off at the most dangerous time. The ignition was eventually recalled as part of one of the largest recalls of all-time , but it took GM 10 years to do it. Then there’s this car’s temperamental power steering which is prone to stop working randomly while driving. It too was eventually recalled, even if GM took their sweet time about it.
Lastly, it turns out a car built with plastic doors, fenders and bumpers – while fun for a game of “shopping cart bocce” – is horrible for safety.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I have had 3 Saturns now and in all of them the clock on the radio continues to lose time. Not a lot, but several minutes over the course of a few weeks. So about every month, I reset the correct the minutes on the clock. I spoke with Saturn about this and they said it was a common problem and there was nothing they could do about it. Not a big deal, but just a little irritating.
