Seat Belt Problems of Saturn ION

Takata recall the seat belts when stopping suddenly do not always lock up. This is very dangerous especially with kids. The fuel system has been producing a check engine light at certain times of fueling up. And the fuel pump will knock occasionally even after it's been changed. The suspension is really bad and dangerous, rattling noise and shaking.

There is a bosh/cdr report from esis of general motors outlining the data received from the crash for non-deployment of the airbag. Mr. Segovia of gm stated that the airbag should not have deployed based on the statistic from this report. I do not believe what he has stated. I need a review of the report for compliance regarding the non-deployment of the airbag to my 2007 Saturn Ion. Gm through esis has refused to surrender the report to the defected seatbelts. My general motors pending claim #816261. I have noticed andrew segovia, esq. , ms. Mary t. Barra, ceo, mr. Daniel ammann, president of gm regarding the second half of the claim of the defaulted/recall of the power steering during the crash. Mr. Segovia has confirmed esis's email stating that there was a power steering recall/defect to my car VIN number and remained open. There was the debris on the highway that caused the accident and then there was the defected power steering problem with my 2007 Saturn Ion which caused the crash. I was never notified of this recall by gm. The defaulted power steering caused the crash. In the outset of this claim, general motors was aware that the power steering of the vehicle was inoperable. I tried to turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle would not crash into the rail guard but failed. I could not steer the vehicle. If I would have been notified of the power steering recall and defect, the car would have been repaired and operable at the time the car crashed. But general motors defected power steering caused me to have no control of the power steering of the vehicle away from the rail guard so the car would not crash into the rail guard. The power steering was inoperable and as a result caused the crash. I am awaiting a response back from general motors in the resolution/settlement of this matter as well and other information regarding the loaner vehicle.

My seat belts will no longer buckle. My shift gets stuck in park and jumps into other gears(neutral) and the car revs on it's own without putting foot on gas. My shift is doing the exact same thing as the recall for the aura and the dealer wants to charge me $700. 00 in repairs and the parts are on back order for 6 months. I do not have my VIN# at this time. Please check with herb chambers Saturn -warwick, ri.

Car stalled then ran again fine. Thought maybe bad gas or something. Started hearing a loud noise in the engine. Change oil came on and so I took it in to be serviced only to find out the timing chain had jumped keys. This is a terrible issue which could have caused me to wreck had I not had plenty of room to coast off the road. Also seat belt is stuck and will not unbotton so I am unable to buckle up the right way until thats fixed too. Looking online all of this seems to be a common problem however it appears people have to die from it before a recall is given. I urge an investigation into the seatbelts and the timing chain.

On may 21st 2014 fidelity fleet and finance in portland or knowing sold me a 2003 Saturn Ion which is involved in the gm ignition recall. When asked if the vehicle was part of the recall the response was clearly represented as the car is not part of the recall and it was safe and mechanically sound. The dealership uses deceptive practices and sells unsafe vehicles including those linked to deaths and thousands of injuries. The dealership has also failed to register the vehicle in over 70 days since the purchase.

I was driving at night on a country road when a deer ran out in front of me and the car struck it. The car sustained some front end damage and the cabin filled with smoke. The seat-belts locked up but the airbags never deployed. Now the airbag light is on and the seat-belts are locked up. It concerns me that with everything that happened that the airbag should have when off.

The passenger side seatbelt has unattached from the floor.

I was driving my car and a deer ran out in front of me, I was able to miss that one but another one came out and I hit it. It hit so hard and my steering was hard like a car without power steering and the brakes were like that too. The airbags did not deploy nor did the safety belts catch me and my granddaughter. It did $3500. 00 worth of damage to my car and my head slammed up against the driver window, my granddaughter was in her carseat but I had it in the front seat so it released the carseat. She had bruises and a black eye, and now 3 years later, that same eye is causing her problems seeing. Everyday I feel so bad because she was in my Saturn that night. People asked me over and over what about your airbags, etc. I never knew what to say until I started getting the recalls and realized what gm had known all along about my ignition. This year my car got stuck in the run position and I called the dealership and was told they were gone for the day. I unhooked the battery cables and the car still would not turn off. Finally after total disgust, all of a sudden the antifreeze overflow tank lid popped off and shot antifreeze everywhere, it just barely missed my granddaughter and myself. The dealership coyle Chevrolet of clarskville in came and picked up the car, and in the process ripped the wind shield for the sunroof off, and called me to tell me my car now had a noise in the lower end of the engine and it would be $600. 00 and up. They test drove it, and told me there was no antifreeze in it. I had already told them what happened. Gm and coyle both say sorry the ignition is the original reason for the engine that is now locked up after I was told I had to come get it or I would be charged a storage fee locked up on me on the expressway home. That was in September and I still have nothing and they won't help.

I have contacted Saturn about the seat belt issue and they refuse to do anything about it. The belt will not click or unclick when putting the seat belt on. My heating and cooling system fan does not want to work unless I put the fan onto number 3 and it is drawing too much power from the battery. I just need these fixed for safety reasons.

My girlfriend and I were in an automile accident by hitting a deer head on then losing control of the vehicle and hitting and embankment head on. We hit the embankment so hard that the 2005 Saturn Ion bounced back off and ended up in the middle of the road. The airbags never deployed and the seat belt never caught resulting my girlfriend to be injured by the steering wheel with lacerations to her chin and her teeth went through the back of her lip and also neck and back injuries from the hard impact. The insurance company totaled the car because of the front frame and underneath damage it cause. She hit so hard that the whole front end was pushed into the motor and the motor was pushed back into the firewall.

My 2007 Saturn Ion 2 passanger seat belt keeps malfunctioning. When my passengers buckle up, the seat belt will no release when they are trying to exit the vehicle when I stop. I am afraid that if there is an accident that the person will be trapped. Also when someon is buckled, the seat belth buzzes and does not stop.

Involved in a rear-end collision, I was the one that got hit at a red stop light the car that hit me totaled his car and I ended up hitting the car in front of me while we were both waiting for the light to turn green my front end of the vehicle has extensive damage and my airbags did not deploy upon impact. I called and spoke with Saturn and they gave me 3 different reasons why the airbags did not deploy which I'm not buying. . . I did hire an attorney for the accident and considering getting Saturn involved with this lawsuit. .

Subject: loose Saturn seatbelt bolt I wanted to share with you what has occurred with my 2003 Saturn Ion 3: I had to have the front passenger seatbelt changed shortly after purchasing the car in March 2003. This past weekend I was putting my son in his carseat in the backseat and noticed my foot jiggling something on the floor. When I looked closer I realized it was the restraining bolt for the front passenger seatbelt, and the bolt was so loose that it came out of the hole into my hand when I touched it. I was shocked and scared. To think that this is what had been keeping my husband and I "safe" when driving down the road!!! I took my car into Saturn of salem today and had them completely go over the restraint system for the vehicle. They told me that lock-tight had been put on the bolt when the new seatbelt had been installed but the bolt must not have been tightened enough (to Saturn's specs). As far as I am concerned, there is no excuse for that! I am talking about the health and safety of my husband, myself and my child, and the service tech seemed to act as if the whole situation was no big deal. I am appalled. I do not know if anyone else has raised this concern, but I wished to inform you of what happened to me. Sincerely, dawn young 503-485-8642 (work).
