My car began with my ignition switch sticking and I received a recall notice in the mail so I took it to be corrected....after supposably being fixed I'm still having the same problem. Now about 5 months ago I started smelling a faint smell of gas...now its so severe I can't drive the car. It's actually dripping onto the ground. It takes 3 or more times to get it to crank. The gas mileage has gone down from 30 to nothing. From the VIN search my car isn't included in the recall for this which is ridiculous. I don't have the money to have this fixed. I don't understand why GM isn't taking responsibility for this. Lives are at stake here. Please help.

I do not recall the exact date of the first occurrence. My car dies randomly while driving. It happened a several times before the recall. I had the recalled items related to this problem 'supposedly' repaired several months ago by an authorized GM dealership. It continued to die while driving. I took it back Saturday to the dealer and my car is still there. They are having problems duplicating the dying situation. I told them they don't need to duplicate it, just re-repair the recall items. If they cannot find the problem, I do not feel safe driving my car and do not want it back. The day I took it to the dealer, I was making a left hand turn from the busy main street of my town into a parking lot and it died before I even reached the curb (no bump). Luckily, there was no oncoming traffic (I take extra precautions for fear of my car dying) or I would have been creamed. A woman driving out of the lot had to stop and allow me to put my car into neutral and start it back up again. What recourse do I have if the problem is not fixed and found this time" it was supposed to be fixed the first time and it was not. How do I have a guarantee that it will actually be fixed this time? what if it is not? I do not want to out my child's life or my life or any other human being's life in danger by driving a deathtrap car. Will GM replace my car for me with a different one" my car is completely paid off. Please help!

While driving the car will automatically shut off. I can be on the freeway at 55 miles and the car will just die. I can be at a stop light and the car will die. I have taken it in and twice they said they found nothing however the problem still exist. I thought that with the recall repair of the ignition switch it might help but it hasn't and my key still gets stuck in the ignition at times and I don't even have anything hanging on the key only the remote. Basically once you feel the car losing power and all dash lights show up, you need to restart the car to proceed. Very dangerous especially on the road.

Yet one more ignition has failed. I had the recall done on the other two recalls. Yet, less than a month after the last replacement the key would not come out. I tried looking for the key release on the steering column that on prior recalls they said was there. It is not. I had to pull the battery cables as before to get the interior lights off. I came out to the car about an hour later and was able to remove the key. I spoke to the GM rep who said they would replace it with another one (the same model, etc) and I'd have to come back into the dealership. I told them no, I had received unbelievable hideous service there since buying the car and with the other recalls. Was told to drive the hour and a half to the next nearest one. Again declined. I was told that if I took it to the shop I use they would not pay the labor. This is ignition number four now. I am taking it to the shop I use tomorrow and will do battle with GM afterwards.

Apparently either the "new ignitions" are also faulty or the dealership lied about having replaced it as they did about having completed the 3rd recall repairs (I'd receive a letter from GM some weeks later saying the parts were now in and to take the car to the dealership to have the work done). This evening at about 5:35pm pacific time I came home and yet one more time the key would not come out of the ignition as it was in the alt position. I tried 5 or 6 times over a span of 10-15 minutes to no avail. The headlights had to be turned off manually as did the overhead light. I was getting my house key off the ring so I could get my tools out of the house to one more time disconnect the battery and decided to try to remove the key again. It was at that point that the key finally came out of the ignition. The reason I suspect it may be the dealership is that although the Saturn was still on the recall list for the third repair on the safercar.gov site until about a week later, coincidently a few days after filing a complaint with GM over the continuing rude and disrespectful treatment at the dealership.

- Fairmont, WV, USA

I purchased my vehicle in Apr 2013 from a used dealer. Shortly after my purchase I began to experience an issue with my vehicle going into reduced power mode, thus degrading the power that the engine was able to put out affecting my ability to accelerate. After over a year of taking my vehicle to different shops to be repaired, it was determined that my vehicle has a technical service bulletin for the ECM. GM released a series of ECM serial / part numbers that were know to be an issue, and that was also in the tsb. I am unclear on how GM is able to narrow this issue down to a specific series of serial / part numbers but they have not issued a recall or special consideration on this part. This defective part is most definitely a safety issue as I stated above it prevents the vehicle from accelerating in the manner that it should.

Was driving at a slow speed off an off ramp when my car felt like it stalled and it turned off which I thought it was another cat who hit me because there was no other explanation at the time. It set me in a spin and the car hit the wall but the air bag didn't go off. I ended up in the hospital with an injured back and head. Could it have been the faulty ignition? my car kept stalling after the body repair. I took the car into the dealership in dumber of the same year and my car was diagnosed with a faulty ignition switch. This is not the only incident but thankfully I was just injured and I still have my life.

On August 19,2014 there was an incident that involved me with my 2006 Saturn Ion. I was proceeding out of to drive off when all of the sudden my power steering became hard to maneuver and seen as though the car was shutting off in which a child was running across the street at that time I did the best I could and my car bump my neighbor vehicle. I received a strained muscle in my hand that my doctor diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve damages). My car have done this several times. I shouldn't have T I die nor my son or have a life permanent injury that would hinder me from enjoying my life. GM told congress that they would do the right thing by its victims regardless the nature of injury.I have to suffer with this agonizing pain and swelling with the aid of medication. Nasa I expect you to do the right thing hold them liable for putting these faulty knowing these car was not safe for consumer purchase.
