Also year of car was recalled a couple years ago for the same reason and sadly enough my car was not included in that recall.

The power steering in my 2006 Saturn Ion would fail intermittently beginning in August of 2009. There would be a clicking noise in my steering column, the power steering alert indicator would flash and then the power steering would fail. The problem persisted with the failures occurring more frequently and longer in length of failure time. They occurred at random speeds and during different times of a drive, (I. E. In the middle of a turn, on a straight path, when I start the car, longer into the drive, etc. . ) as of April of 2010, the power steering is more or less gone. I don't have power steering more than I do have power steering. I took it into the dealer to find out what the problem was and they said it was a faulty control module. It is an $800 repair. I am wondering why the exact same part was recalled in the chevy cobalt and not the Saturn Ion. This car, and others like it with this part in installed, are not safe to drive with the power steering constantly failing.

I have been driving a 2003 Saturn Ion for a few months now. I started here a popping noise in my steering wheel a few weeks back and when I took it to get looked at I was told it is most likely the power steering motor. After doing some research it was found that there was a huge recall by general motors for this part, but my car was not part of the recall.
