On June 19th 2011 my 2007 Saturn Ion wouldnt shut off the ignition was locked into the run position. Since my vehicle is a stick I simply killed it but the electronic accesories were still stuck on. I had to go purchase a new igniton cylinder and install it in order to get my vehicle working again. This is a known problem and was recalled on other gm vehicles that share the same platform but not on the Saturn Ions.
It started with the key sticking in the ignition. Unable to remove it and had to wait for a clicking noise to know the key released. Now, intermittenly, the key will release but the engine will continue to run. The only way to stop it is to put the key back in and turn to accessory. It had done it 4 times in the past 5 days. It is now also having the power steering signal coming on the dash. The sticking key started a couple months ago, while the engine continuing to run and the power steering has been the past week.
