Daytime running light turn signal dont work for the passenger side which can cause a safety problem to other drivers.
A few years ago my left turn signal went out for the first time but I just replaced it which took a few trys before it actually worked, over the last couple of years I have had more problems with that turn signal working. Everytime I have to replace it, it is a hassle trying to get it to work for it to only go out again within a week or two. I am out there again today replacing this thing. I have read about recalls on 2004 Ions, have there not been any for this problem for the 2005?.
The right front turn signal does not light or blink when the lever is pressed down. The rear right signal works as do the front and rear turn signals. I feel this is a safety hazard. My dealer says we will have to replace the command module at a cost of @ $1400.
My right turn signal flashes fast and will not work. I changed the bulb the same problem nobody seem to know what to do about this , from the amount of complaints I think g m need to fix this problem.
Since the recall on the Saturn 2005 Ion, I'm wondering if there ever was a recall because of the lighting system in the Saturn 2005 Ion? I feel like I had to have allot of services done on the lighting system. All of this started after I had resoration performed to the headlights - 7/2/12 7/18/12 - right front directional signal out 9/4/12 - right front turn signal burnt repl socket - both turn signals inop 11/8/12 - left headlamp bulb repl 11/13/13 - right brake lamp repl.
The contact owns a 2005 Saturn Ion. The contact stated that the front turn signals failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed, which located the failure at the body control module. The dealer advised that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 04v547000 (exterior lighting). The approximate failure mileage was 99,000 and the current mileage was 111,000.
I have a Saturn Ion 05 and have had to replace the power steering once already and now having the same issue again. Also the turn signal on the front drivers side only works when my hazards or head lamps are on have tested all fuses and replaced bulb twice this is a commom complaint why isnt it being fixed?.
Left turn signal does not work even with new bulb.
2005 Saturn Ion turn signal lights stopped blinking, but lamps not burned out. Gm dealer recommends replacement of the body control module and extensive and costly repair! can't find parts. Cannot properly operate vehicle with expired inspection sticker required in la.
Front directional sometimes work and sometimes don't. At times it is left side other times right side. Both 2003 & 2004 model years of Saturn Ion have identical problem which has been recalled but I have a 2005 and dealer and Saturn corporate say they can't help until 2005 is added to recall.
Turn signal lights burned out then didn't burn out, but still do not work.
The car has issues with lighting malfunction. My passenger side running light/turn signal required many bulb changes, every few weeks or so, since the socket overheated and accordingly received a signal from the body module to shut off. This seems like the same problem that led to a recall with the 2003 and 2004 Ions. I recently was finally able to get this safety-related aspect of the vehicle remedied, for a few hundred dollars.
