The front drivers side exterior turn signal light stop functioning about 2 months or so after the bulb was replaced, now it doesn't work at all. The panel inside the car had shown me that same turn signal light had been malfunctioning for some time blinking extremely fast back to normal until it finally needed to be replaced. I can't get my safety check done because the turn signal lamp is inoperative. I wonder if a drl jumper kit needs to be added, can you please direct me? the car was in motion making a left turn on the highway.

The drivers side and passenger turn sinal lights are inoperable. We took it to certified mechanic who told us he has seen this many times on the Saturn Ions. There is corrosion on the inside of the turn signal bulb socket which does not allow a good electrical connection. A lady almost hit us head on because in the car, it appears when you turn on your lane signal, everything is functioning well. I have replaced the bulbs numerous times thinking it was the bulbs, but I was told by the mechanic that was not correct.

A few years ago my left turn signal went out for the first time but I just replaced it which took a few trys before it actually worked, over the last couple of years I have had more problems with that turn signal working. Everytime I have to replace it, it is a hassle trying to get it to work for it to only go out again within a week or two. I am out there again today replacing this thing. I have read about recalls on 2004 Ions, have there not been any for this problem for the 2005?.

The right front turn signal does not light or blink when the lever is pressed down. The rear right signal works as do the front and rear turn signals. I feel this is a safety hazard. My dealer says we will have to replace the command module at a cost of @ $1400.

My right turn signal flashes fast and will not work. I changed the bulb the same problem nobody seem to know what to do about this , from the amount of complaints I think g m need to fix this problem.

Around said mileage, the car's front passenger turn signal went out and I was able to tell by the faster clicking of the arrow on the dashboard. I replaced the bulb, which also serves as the drl in this vehicle, and the problem continued. When the lights are on, the bulb functions as it should and it appears there is no outage however when attempting to use the turn signal, the light does not function properly. When the lights are serving as the drls, the bulb does not function at all.

The contact owns a 2003 Saturn Ion. The contact stated that the turn signals were defective and were inoperable. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test which proved a defective body control module that needed to be replaced. The contact did not have the body control module replaced. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Since the recall on the Saturn 2005 Ion, I'm wondering if there ever was a recall because of the lighting system in the Saturn 2005 Ion? I feel like I had to have allot of services done on the lighting system. All of this started after I had resoration performed to the headlights - 7/2/12 7/18/12 - right front directional signal out 9/4/12 - right front turn signal burnt repl socket - both turn signals inop 11/8/12 - left headlamp bulb repl 11/13/13 - right brake lamp repl.

When I turn my car on the parking lights and front turn signals starting blinking really quick like strobing. I can turn my left turn signal on and it will blink inside hearing the normal ticking. If I turn my right turn signal on it the arrow on the inside blinks slower and makes no ticking sound. If I push on my brake the light work probably and the ticking sound on the right turn signal inside starts. If I put my emergency brake on it works properly. The strobing of the front outside parking lights stop. If I turn my parking light on and drive with them on everything works properly. I know this has something to do with the recall. It is effecting my car so bad that my radio display light blinks also. So it is getting feedback from this problem before I have a wreck. I am a single mother with 2 children.

Both driver and passenger side forward turn signals have stopped working. Has happened multiple times. Rear turn signals still operational.

The contact owns a 2004 Saturn Ion. While driving 25 mph, the turn signals failed intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

Also the turn signal on the front drivers side only works when my hazards or head lamps are on have tested all fuses and replaced bulb twice this is a commom complaint why isnt it being fixed?.

2005 Saturn Ion turn signal lights stopped blinking, but lamps not burned out. Gm dealer recommends replacement of the body control module and extensive and costly repair! can't find parts. Cannot properly operate vehicle with expired inspection sticker required in la.

For the past 4-5 months, the front turn signals and daytime running lamps have not worked. We have replaced the bulbs all around the car with 3 different brands and on several occasions. . Still nothing. I have researched this matter online and found that there is a recall for this exact problem, but only on the 2003-04 model Saturn Ions, not mine. This is a huge safety issue. . I have had nothing but problems out of this car since the day I bought it brand new from the dealership 5 almost 5 years ago. I have also found online other 2006 Ion owners having the same issue as me. Please issue a recall to fix this, as it is a safety hazard.

Failure of gm to notify me of 3 recalls on 2003 Saturn Ion. It is possible that this work has already been done, but I cannot tell at this time and would like this problem investigated. Recalls are: NHTSA campaign id number: 04v547000 NHTSA campaign id number: 04v003000.

Passenger side front turn signal stops working for a week, then works, then quits again for a few days and then works again. Saturn dealer says this vehicle is not included on the recall - it appears to be the same problem as recall campaign 04v657000 - NHTSA action number pe04061. They said any review/repair would be at my expense.

I heard about a recall from a year 2007-2008 or so ago for Saturn, turn signal. At the time the turn signal was working, but I took it to Saturn and inquired about it but they said it was fine. Later on I turn signal went out on side. I replaced it but noticed that has not been working for almost a year. I took to Saturn and one man told me that the recall expired! then I took it back to get it fixed at another man said that the recall has not expired, but it is not my VIN number. I paid about 60 dollars on Saturn, and guess what they did? they charged me all that money to tighten up the bulb and put some grease on it. I drove away and went down the street and it was not working. I was upset, because I felt like they did nothing. I took it back a few minutes later, then they said they had to clean the area and saw some burnt wire and they put another bulb on. They assured me again that it was fixed. I drove down the street and took it back again. The problem is not fixed, and I want my money back. They charged my all that money to simply screw the light bulb. I told them over and over again that it was not the light bulb. It was the wiring because they light bulb would work one day and not the next. I have been blessed to not have been stopped by the police for this problem. It has been this way for a year. The put down I declined maintenance(s). As well as the 60,000 maintenance. I only declined the 60,000 maintenance, but I don't know what other maintenance they were talking about because none was offered. Saturn did non even explain to me what they were going to do to my car. My car has defects in it and because it was not a certain VIN number they did not fix it. What can I do?.

The contact owns a 2004 Saturn Ion. The contact stated that the vehicle is experiencing the same failure as noted in NHTSA campaign id number 04v547000 (exterior lighting: turn signal). He replaced the bulbs for the turn signals, but they continue to fail. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall available. The VIN was invalid, and the engine size, number of cylinders, and powertrain were unknown. The current mileage was 56,000 and failure mileage was 48,000.

Front directional sometimes work and sometimes don't. At times it is left side other times right side. Both 2003 & 2004 model years of Saturn Ion have identical problem which has been recalled but I have a 2005 and dealer and Saturn corporate say they can't help until 2005 is added to recall.

I have a 2004 Saturn Ion and there was recall (04v547000) in this vehicle in regards to defective turn signals. Approximately 3 weeks ago I contacted Saturn and was told that there was never a recall on this item. I researched this further and called Saturn again and now was told that there was a recall and the work has been done to the vehicle before I bought it. I have also read articles and people were stating that they had to have the work done a few times because what was done to the vehicle didn't fix the problem. Saturn is now telling me that they cant do anything about the defect and that I would have to pay for the work.

When it rains or snows, my driver seat and floor gets wet. There are no water stains around the sun roof nor is there any water damage on the drivers' door. In new england, the car is non-functional in the winter and spring because of this problem. I have taken it to the local Saturn dealership and they have refused to fix it. 2) I have had to replace my front turn signals 3 times in 1. 5 years. I am almost convinced it is a socket problem and not a lightbulb problem. 3) I have had to replace the brakes and rotors twice within a 12 month period. In that time. I have only driven 17,000 miles. Once is understandable. Twice is expensive and ridiculous.

Turn signal lights burned out then didn't burn out, but still do not work.

The failure mileage was 34,000 and current mileage was 50,000.

The consumer received recall 04v547000 concerning the exterior lighting: turn signal. She had the recall repairs performed three separate times. Approximately two months after the recall work was performed, the problem recurred. After the last repair, she believed it will happen again. The service dealer informed her that the vehicle was no longer under warranty, and she would be responsible for future costs for this repair. The ignition switch was replaced. Updated 11/29/05. *.

The car has issues with lighting malfunction. My passenger side running light/turn signal required many bulb changes, every few weeks or so, since the socket overheated and accordingly received a signal from the body module to shut off. This seems like the same problem that led to a recall with the 2003 and 2004 Ions. I recently was finally able to get this safety-related aspect of the vehicle remedied, for a few hundred dollars.

2004 Saturn Ion right blinker malfunctioned. The consumer stated the right blinker and the exterior blinker do not function until seconds after and in some cases not at all. The problem was intermittent, hard to diagnose and hard to predict while driving. The shifter knob broke while the consumer was driving.

'recall campaign' 2004 Saturn Ion daytime lamp/turn signal bulb replacement. When the consumer went to pick up his vehicle he was told the recall work had been performed, but the turn signal was still inoperative. When the consumer returned, the work was done, but condensation was inside the unit that contained the bulb in question and the dealer refused to remedy the problem.

I purchased my 2004 Saturn Ion in April, 2004. In June, 2004 my right turn signal stopped working, causing my running light on that side not to work either. In July, 2004 when opening up the hood to refill windshield wiper fluid, the hood latch inside the car came off in my hand. On Dec 22, 2004, the brakes on my 2004 Saturn Ion failed to work cause me to go through a stop sign, which resulted in a accident with another car. Both cars were only moving about 15 - 20 mph, but on impact the whole right (passenger side) side bumper broke up and was on the ground. Leaving a big gapping hole on the right passenger side of the car. No recalls have been placed on defective brakes, as of this date. In February, 2005, when coming out to start car after work, the car would not start, the key locked in the ignition, the hood and the trunk locked and couldn't get them open to get a jump from the tow truck. I had to have the car towed back to the Saturn dealership. Battery was replaced. The same day I picked the car up from the dealership, went into a store when I came out the car would not start again. This time the key didn't lock in ignition so I was able to get a jump. This has happened on about 4 different occasion, with the dealership not able to give me any solution to the problem.

The turn signals worked intermittently. Also, thee car would not start. The vehicle started after multiple attempts of turning the key in the ignition. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who repaired the problem. They were aware of an ongoing issue with the ignition. The turn signals were repaired under a recall. Since then there was one incident where they did not work properly. The consumer felt they did not complete the repair. There was a TSB on the issue that the dealer used to correct it. These problems began in December 2004, and were thought to be corrected by the dealer. Last week after filling the gas tank up the vehicle would not start. The contact made several attempts to start the vehicle and was unsuccessful. The contact's husband came and turned the key in the ignition and the vehicle started. The vehicle was not returned to the dealer at that time. No further repairs on this matter.

Front right turn signal bulb 'bright' / 'high' elment burned out. Bulb was oem wagner 5702ka. Bulb base was blacked, had signs of overheating. Both left and front headlight assembly outer lenses have changed from clear to translucent imediately above turn signal bulbs, perhaps due to overheateing. Dealer said a problem was discovered and fixed in the later 2003 Ions. Dealer offered to diagnose and install a 'resistor and harness' kit at my expence. This is obviously a design error and should be fixed at Saturn's expence. May be a potential fire hazard.
