Two problems related to suspension have been reported for the 2007 Saturn ION. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fuel leaking from gas tank area, became aware when passenger cabin filled with fuel vapor ,noticed gas smell for the past few years when walking near rear of vehicle fuel mileage has been terrible since vehicle was only 2 years old. Had vehicle into dealership and complained about mileage, I believe was loosing fuel for a long period of time before this major leak occurred. It made my wife and myself along with my family dog very sickly. Had into dealership 3 monts ago and was told there was no leak,but they failed to drop tank and inspect as per gm recall 09226. Now at another dealership and they are telling me I have to pay for the repair to gas tank/sending unit out of my own pocket. This is not what is stated on recall from gm global warranty management on bulletin 09226c dated July 19th 2015.
The electric steering keeps going out and took it to an authrized Saturn dealer and they said that the would have to check it to see why its going out as there has been recalled on the electric steering in the pontiac g6 which has the same problem and carries the same system and the dealer told me if its not the motor I have to pay 97. 50 for them to find out its not the motor in the steering plus what it cost to fix it there has been problems with the electric steering there should be a full recall on all the one that uses the same part with the ones that have been recalled all ready this is a big safety issue and gm should pay to correct the problem not charge a customer to check whats wrong with it as there is still some warrenty on the car this problem needs fixed and I dont have the money to pay out the car only has 55,600 miles on it shouldnt be having problems like this hope you can help with this issue and get gm to do a recall on this for theses cars power steering failure like that makes the car hard to steer.
