My 2006 saturn ion all of a sudden lost its power steering while I was driving! I almost crashed! And now it going to cost over 500 or more to fix. I could have been killed, I was going up a hill on a curve. Just all of a sudden the bell rang and it popped up pwr str. I got the car stopped and turned it off when I turned it back on it was fine for about 5 feet and again it did it. I got home and checked the fuse and made sure it was ok. Today I drove all over and it was ok and then all of a sudden again it came on and the steering wheel locked up! *Tr
On may 1, 2009 the drivers side sliding door fell off my 2007 saturn relay. It was immediately taken to our local saturn dealership and to this day has yet to be fixed. We were very fortunate that none of our 5 children were hurt but they were traumatized by this incident and are afraid to ride by any sliding van door. Not only has this happened but back in february we had a incident where the steering column broke for no reason. I do not feel that saturn/gm is taking the appropriate steps to insure that these...

vehicles are safe to drive or safe for passengers. The dealership actually told my husband today that we could no longer have rental and must drive our van even though it is not fixed. This is a huge safety violation I have a set of twins and a set of triplets every seat in my van is occupied so I can not just put someone in a different seat to avoid a possible problem with the door falling off. I realize that getting parts is slow because of the cut backs but I should not have to put my families life in danger because a auto maker can not produce the parts to fix the vehicles they make. This is not the first issue we have had with this van, back in january 2009 it was in the shop for a problem with he steering column. Apparently the steering column had a break in it and we are lucky the steering did not go out on the van. This van is beginning to look more and more like a lemon every day. *Tr
Saturn 2005 relay makes a loud groaning noise when turning left or right. The noise can get loud enough to vibrate the car and my infants car seat. It scares me to drive a vehicle that vibrates my baby's car seat. Saturn has tried to fix the problem 6 times. After each attempt they tell me it should be safe to drive. They have replaced the steering column, gear, wheel bearings, axle. Problem is still there they are now re-replacing the gear. *Nm
