general problems of the 2007 Saturn ION

I need to know why your system shows no recalls for my vehicle using the VIN number, but has (7) recalls if I use year/make/model, the system should allow me to run the VIN, see all recalls, and even report with proof if the recall is complete, like a check list. Your system is useless if the manufacturer is not agreeing to the recalls under the year/make/model and assigning the recalls to the VIN to grant approval to dealers to repair, a dealer will not complete a gm recall unless gm approves of the recall for a particular VIN. I have electrical issues with my vehicle that falls in the category of the recalls, but I'm not paying out of pocket for these repairs, when they are known safety issues.

At first I had starting problems. I looked into the ignition,spark plugs,coils,plug wires. A g. M. Dealer said I had a code that said #3 cylinder misfire. #3 cyl. Spark plug was the only plug that was not running to lean. At that point my transmission started shifting rough. With in about 1. 5 months the engine started hard starting. I decided to change the fuel filter, bought one from auto zone, crawled under car and could not find a fuel filter. My g. M. Dealer didn't know what I was talking about. So I explained it again. They came back with "it must be in the fuel tank. I have changed hundreds of fuel filters in my 50 years of being a mechanic. Every automobile I have changed the in tank fuel pump has had a screen to catch the large pieces that may get in your tank, but I have never seen a fuel filter in tank. Please let me know what you think.

Hello, this vehicle is under recall and I have received notices since March 2014 about the recall. However, it doesn't seem that Saturn/gm is taking this recall seriously, as I have called them 3 times to see if I could get it fixed and so far they have said they can't fix it. When I called back in March, they said that they were waiting on a part and should have the parts by mid-April. I was fine with that, and was told to drive with just the key (no extra weight). They said I was put on a list, and they would call me when they had the parts. I was fine with this as I had never had any trouble with the engine losing power, but of course want to get it fixed if there are problems. That was now over 3 months ago, and I have not heard anything from Saturn/gm. Gms notice said to contact the NHTSA if I'm not satisfied with gms response to the recall, so that is what I'm doing. .

Saturn Ion ignition switch has been replaced twice & my car still does the key sticks, doors won't unlock but now after dealer did work the air bags off and misfire #3 cylinder & shifter loose & shifter handle jiggles out of place. Timeline: may 7 2014 ordered ignition switch mark christopher Chevrolet may 18 key stuck ignition doors wouldn't unlock - finally able pull key out but car was still running without key towed to mcc car not safe to drive, may 19 4:35pm received call from service manager stating car is there & part still back ordered. From may 19 2014 until July 27 they had my car. But June 4th stopped by dealership after receiving a parking ticket on my plate #. The dealership told me my car was never towed to them. . Following day they called said it was there. I kept calling for updates over next 2 months no one called me back that was because service writer quit & my paperwork car etc was lost again. My car is in worse condition now . I'm perplexed at situation that gm allows dealerships give customer car was allegedly repaired back in worse condition where is the moral compass I really feel unsafe & scared I may cause an accident & hurt some innocent person because of my car not being fixed properly. Mcc has acknowledged car isn't fixed right they backordered shifter because they say that's the new problem stemming from ignition switch recall. . . . It's been painful and tiring struggle plus my car is worth nothing now 7502. 00 3 months ago kelly blue book. . . . Now they won't even give me 3000. 00 I'm almost ready to give up & just take the loss of money because they don't care about me, you or anyone on the road . . . Having a congressional investigation did nothing but insight the dealerships to become rude & accuse customers of "wanting 10years cars fixed for free" quote from the service manager at mcc. Very condescending & disrespectful.

3/2014 recall letter 14063, 4/2014 2nd recall letter,4/11/2014 car to dealer,5/16/2014 ignition replaced, "repair other ignition" accelerator pedal,throttle body,fuel induction sensor, throttle body sensor, quoted $560. 00,charged $634. 29, gm promised price assistance "repair other ignition-have not honored their word. Picked up car 5/16/2014 on 5/20/2014 <100 miles encountered same issue. 5/22/2014 car returned -to dealer, key stuck in ignition, service mgr witnessed issue, claims - solenoid @gearshift to ignition not registering park, states"I have seen alot of these recalls, gm is going to replace anything remotely connected to this recall but is "customer bill". Soleniod quote $400. 00 additional to $634. 29. I am inclined to believe if it is "remotely connected" it should be included in this recall. I firmly believe gm has employed this "other than ignition" strategy to recoup their losses on the back end by employing this "customer bill" phrase. The dealer has not shown any of the parts that were replaced or any evidence to support their claim. I welcome the opportunity to share my experience in great detail with the NHTSA and any congressional committe that is designated to investigate this gm recall.

Engine reduced speed light and traction light came on and car cant accelerate past 20mph.

I received a recall notice for my 2007 Saturn Ion in March 2014. The recall notice is for the ignition switch, ignition lock cylinder and ignition key. I call my local gm dealership and was told that they were repairing cars as the parts came in and I was put on a list. They told me the parts should be about 2 weeks and I would receive a call. I called 2 weeks later and the dealership still hadn't received the parts to fix the recall and in April 2014 I received another recall notice from gm to have the repairs to my car. I then called the dealership again to check on the status of the parts and they still didn't have them. Weeks later I brought my car in to have some work done on my car and I asked about the recall and they told me it should be another couple weeks. I called back in 2 weeks and was told they still didn't have the parts. I called back in another 2 weeks and was told the protocall for the recall had changed and that they were ordering the parts based on the vehicle VIN and it was a car by car basis. So I ordered my parts this way around the end of April. It is now June I still haven't had my car fixed and just received a notice from gm that I haven't had the repairs to my car. I called the dealership again and they still don't have the parts. It has been 3 months since my first recall notice and still haven't had my car repaired. I am so upset at the way this whole situation has been handled and I find it unacceptable.

2007 Saturn Ion. Consumer writes in regard to vehicle electrical problems. The consumer stated the vehicle would lose power and shut down. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The service informed the consumer, no chip was found and therefore, the vehicle could not be fixed without a chip notification. The consumer has since traded the vehicle.

My Saturn had been idling roughly for about a week. I checked the oil it seemed low and I put more oil in. It seemed a little better. The check oil light has never come on in this car. After taking the car down and back to my parents it would not turn on. Two car dealers have told me it is the timing chain and that it needed a new engine with parts and labor 25,00. 00 dollars. I bought the car in 2011 in October. I now have a car I have to keep making payments on to keep my credit rating safe but I can't drive. So far GMC and the dealers have been unhelpful with getting my car repaired. I can't afford 2500. Dollars. I went to the bbb and was told that my car aged out of the complaint system. I haven't had this car 5 years and it hasn't reached 100,00. 00 miles and it is unusable with a repair that is more than it is currently worth.

I have had trouble with this ignition for years, having to jiggle it to start the car, a key tip broke off from trying to turn it. I also was never contacted about fuel line recall that I had to have repaired and paid for. My engine has also lost power and the engine light has been on for years and they don't know why? I don't feel safe even driving this piece of junk to the dealer.

2007 Saturn Ion I was involved in a car accident 02/03/2013, with very minimal damage to my left, front panel. Almost a month later, the vehicle was repaired and drove fine for 3 days. After the 3rd day my car would turn over but it would not start. I had the original repair center inspect my vehicle and they told me the timing chain was off, but it was not related to the car accident. I got a second opinion from another mechanic and he advised me that the timing chain was not due to my accident. I've never had any trouble with my vehicle before this incident and after searching the web and finding numerous complaints about timing chain issues, I'm curious as to why there's no recall.

The key to this vehicle is stuck in the ignition and will not turn off. This vehicle had this ignition replaced due to a similar issue in 2010 by a gm dealer in ourisman Chevrolet Buick (703) 329-1300 1800 old richmond highway, alexandria, va 22303-1856. The original part became defected for the same issue and I had to pay over $700 to have the part replaced. Now, the same issue has occurred. The key is stuck in the ignition and unable to turn off the car. I contacted general motors (Saturn) at 1-800-553-6600 to report the problem and they are aware this has been happening. However, the is no recall to correct this measure. To turn the car off you have to disconnect the wires or replace the part for another $900. If gm (Saturn) is aware of the problem a recall should be posted to all owners of the Saturn Ion and reimbursement should be provided for owners who had paid to have the part replaced.

On June 7, 2014, the vehicle would not stop running. I took it to a nearby care care center where they stopped it. The recall establishment (zimbrick Buick-Saturn) told them to have the vehicle towed to their establishment. They kept the vehicle until June 26th trying to replace the switch and start the vehicle. They charged the car care center "jump started" the vehicle in a wrongful manner and that caused a computer to fail. I have a sworn statement that it was not jump started. They eventually replaced the computer with a used Cadillac part and charged me $1288. 41. The entire process was caused by a defective ignition switch and incompetence in repairing the vehicle. I don't believe I should be required to pay the amount requested and seek compensation.

My wife left work and stopped by the store on the way home, but could not shut the car off. She drove home where the car continue to run until I disconnected the battery cable to finally disable the vehicle. I had the car towed to the dealer. The key could not be removed from the ignition switch. The ignition switch cylinder was replaced, new key coded at a cost of $396. 17. Saturn customer service stated that they have had no complaints of such a nature, I have done online searches and have found thousands of the same problems. The issue continues to this day along with the seals around the doors and windows leaking. This automotive company was bailed out by the government with our tax money, only to lie to the american car buyers who purchased their flawed products. If the NHTSA does not designate this as a recall status, then it is time for us Saturn owners who were sold these flawed vehicles to unite and file a major class action suit for more money than general motors received in the bailout of the atomotive industry.

I would be on my way to work or to the store and then all of the sudden my car lost all power, and would shut its self down. Therefor causing me to have to coast off to the side somewhere with my power steering locked up. Once my car would start running again any where from 10- 20 mins my power steering wouldnt function for the first 2 mins causing me to sit and wait till it kicks in. Not only does this happen, but when I get low on gas and go to fill up, after putting gas in my car it wont start!!!! I have to sit there about 10 mins cranking trying to get it to start up once I do I cant release my foot off the gas for about 3 min or my car dies.

After my day of driving I pulled into my driveway at my home and put my car into the park gear and continued to remove my key--the key would not turn to off position. It had locked into place. I had to call my husband to come home and help me. He too tried. It would not turn to the off position. The only way we got the car to turn off the engine was to disconnect the battery cables. The key stayed in the on position. I had to contact the gm dealer the next morning -- I had to have my car towed to the dealership in frederick, maryland. I was repaired and I was charged a total of $512. 36 I received a recall letter today March 14, 2014 stating there is a recall 14063 the national highway traffic safety administration campaign id number for this recall is 14v-047 since this has already affected my car and I have paid I am requesting reimbursement.

The power cuts off when hitting a bump/jarring and car loses all automatic features--power steering, power brakes. Especially likely with heavy key chain. Has happened multiple times since I purchased the vehicle in 2009, but more in past two years. Occurs when pulling into driveways of stores, hitting pothole, etc. This is the Saturn "sister" car to the chevy cobalt ss and of same year at that recent recall.
