This vehicle has an electrical issue from time to time seemingly out of nowhere. There is no power steering it just shuts off sometimes it’ll stay off for an hour sometimes it’ll stay off for weeks and I can’t figure out how to fix it.

The ignition cylinder was replaced in my vehicle because the key would not turn in the ignition to start the car. It is actually, the fourth time this has happened. I understand that there have been two recalls on this issue in the past. The reason it was recalled is because the ignition has turned to the off position killing the car's engine while the driver is driving on the road which has caused serious accidents. I was lucky not to get into an accident from this. The last replacement has lasted almost ten years. However, my issue is that General Motors apparently keeps manufacturing a defective part. This is unacceptable because I had to pay $585.02 to have this work done due to the fact that the dealerships apparently are not required to replaced it at no charge to the vehicle owner. It could also be a potential safety issue again.
Hello I am reaching out to complain about Courtesy Chevrolet - San Diego. I’ve been trying to get my car serviced in order to fIx the recalls. Unfortunately I have not been successful. I called the dealer to make an appointment but the dealer told me that the car has been discontinued and they can’t find the parts. The suggested to call somewhere else.
When pressing the gas pedal 2/3 of the way down the pedal got stuck causing the engine to rev high while driving forward. I had to put the car in neutral, shut the engine off and manually get the gas pedal unstuck by reaching down to the floor and pulling the pedal upwards with my hands. Also I had no floor mats in my car for the pedal to get stuck on. This has happened on multiple occasions.

My car has been sitting for over (3) months due to this problem. I need your assistance and hope you intervene as this has caused stress ,hardship and depression being without a car. Car dealer is Mauer Chevrolet located inInver Grove Heights, MN. 1055 50th Street, 55075. (651-455-6283). Mauer Chevrolet has retained their attorney to assist them, so I need help, also.

2005 SATURN ION. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEY WOULD FREQUENTLY BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE DEALER MADE MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS BUT, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL.
It says I have 0 I repaired recalls. I have had the powers steering fail 2x. More importantly, the ignition cylinder locks up and I can’t get my keys out. I have to wait most times after turning the car off - for 3-5 minutes through a series of clicking noises in the ignition before the key will release. It is concerning because sometimes I have to get out immediately and the keys don’t release. The car automatically locks itself and if I don’t roll the window down- I become locked out. It yesterday had a issue with ignition all together and I wonder if it’s related. I was made aware again there were many recalls on this issue and hoped to get it repaired. However it now states there are none unrepaired. I’m wondering if it is a ongoing problem with the vehicle, it’s repair parts etc and if it’s just not been addressed because it’s so old that so few are left on the road. Thank you. This is a increasing problem and a daily or every time I drive it issue now. I worry too the power steering will just go out in the interstate.

MY MOM CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, P# 800-222-1020 AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE RELATED RECALL. THEY SHOW THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED ON THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 AND SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SHE ALSO CALLED THE DEALER BOUCHER CHEVROLET OF WAUKESHA, P# 262-347-4107, WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF SAME ISSUE OTHERWISE WE WILL GET CHARGED FOR FIXING IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BERGSTROM CHEVROLET IN MADISON, WI WHERE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100.00 FOR FIXING IT EVEN IT RECALL RELATED ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF GETTING KILLED ON THE ROAD WHEN I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE TO COMMUTE TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY EVERY WEEK. IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN DONE THEN WHY IS THIS ISSUE CONTINUING TO HAPPEN. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES IT CONTINUES. CONSUMERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY WITH THEIR LIFE LIKE OTHER HAVE DONE SO UNWILLINGLY.
LA QUINTA CHEV/CADDILAC REPLACED MY IGNITION PER THE GM RECALL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND NOW THE IGNITION IS LOCKING UP AGAIN. WHAT CAN I DO?

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR EVEN AFTER I HAVE HAD SOME RECALLS DONE TO IT. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHEN I AM DRIVING OR STATIONARY WITH MY CAR ON, THE CAR RUMBLES AND FEELS LIKE IT IS TUGGING BACKWARDS. THE CYLINDER 2 KEEPS MISFIRING (P0302). I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SATURN IONS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY. THERE ARE PERIODS WHERE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN MUCH AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. FURTHERMORE, MY CAR STILL DOESN'T TURN ON/OFF ALL THE WAY SOMETIMES AND THE IGNITION SWITCH MESSES UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MARITIME CHEVROLET, 985 POST ROAD, FAIRFIELD, CT 06824) AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 207,000.
