CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Ion still had power steering issues and a defective ignition switch leftover from previous model years, but hey – at least Saturn improved some of its safety rating to marginal, right? Baby steps.
If you had to buy a Saturn Ion – and I would question why anyone would even consider it – I suppose the 2005 could be considered the best of a bad bunch? I mean, GM did finally get rid of that awful VTi transmission, and both the power steering problems and ignition switch defect that plagued owners were recalled. The problem is they waited 10 years to recall the ignition and let over 30,000 warranty claims get filed before they bothered to fix the power steering. So you kind of have to wonder, is GM making these fixes to keep owners safe or just to keep government lawyers from taking all their money? You be the judge.

Sealant on roof has dry-rotted in four years? This is Saturn's defective design! Roof leakage has caused major electrical damage on my car....major components stopped working and now auxiliary components don't work. My car smells like mildew and there is mold. I hate Saturn! No wonder they are going out of business; they sell sub-par products! I've had multiple problems with this car from cruise control malfunctions, electrical malfunctions, transmission replacement, oil pan problems, and many more problems... this car is a lemon and i'm not the only one with the same problems....Saturn SUCKS!!!!
