My wife’s Saturn Ion’s steering went out while in a parking lot a year ago. Hate to think if this had happened on the Interstate. I wrote a letter to the dealer and GM that if she had been hurt or killed by the time I was done with them I’d own the dealership. The steering unit was replaced without charge —— Big Deal! GMC has known about this for years. They deserve everything they get.
Yes, they have known about it for years.
At first GM wasn’t paying the tab but they’ve said they’ll reimburse people for those charges now.
I had one of those Ions too. My key locked up a couple of times, but I was able to get it out. It’s the last GM car I’ll ever own.
It’s too bad the Saturn brand went downhill. When they first came out, they were good cars. By the time it got to that one, they were as lousy as anything I’ve owned. Completely untrustworthy and I was glad to see the back of it.
