- Yakima, WA, USA

Electrical power steering failed, warning light illuminated upon restart after an oil change, the 'usual' symptoms (hard to turn wheel, especially at low speeds, etc.) for ps failure. After two start/stop cycles, the failure resolved itself making me think it is a wiring/sensor issue. This happened over two months ago, and the problem has not reappeared. Aprox 60000 miles at the time of failure. There is likely something failing here, and it is safety related, but it is intermittant at this point

In January 2016 while driving on highway to work I had bear to the right at an intersection from 1-90 to 1-76, wheels/steering locked or something and I ended up spinning off roadway. Hit division embankment crashing front end and my air bags never deployed. Traction in the car I later found out was not engaging when it should have been. Now car's traction does not work if it ever really did. I have been in touch with GM complaints department and now I have been assigned a case number but this is about recalls on Y vehicle that I do not know they really are because Saturn wants me to pay to get this information. I asked why but did not get an answer. Only was told that recalls are VIN specific and I needed to go to https://www.vincheckpro.com/VIN-register. now my vehicle has a control board that is going haywire literally. Guages blinking on and off, speedometer acting like a windshield wiper, oil light, brake light, airbag symbol, battery symbol, radio blinking in and out randomly. Fuel and temp guages not moving at all. Key sticks and car won't turn completely off at times. Chimes wont stop and more.

I was starting my car getting ready to go to church, and the steering wheel wouldn't turn, then my power steering light came on. I had my granddauther to call a mechanic and they said that it might be a electrical problem. My car was in a parking space where I live. I did get the chance to move the car. I can drive the car but I'm afraid that it will lock on me while driving it.

I own a 2007 Saturn Ion, I recently started having trouble with the steering, the steering wheel is very tight and when I make a turn I need to physically turn the wheel back if I don't the car will continue going in the direction I was turning. I am now having trouble keeping it on the road as it wants to pull to the left, it is in alinement. I purchased my car in 2013 from the original owner I did receive the recall notice for the ignition switch but never received notice 14V15300. When I enter my VIN# it shows that there no recalls.I drive 36 miles a day for work, I have not had an accident but it's getting to the point that I am afraid to drive and this is my only vehicle.

- Niles, MI, USA

I was on my way home just getting off highway with speed limit of 65 mph, when I parked at local grocery store near my home. Parked in stall fine but about 10 minutes later I found upon attempting to drive out of the stall, I could hardly turn my car to make it out of the parking lot. I was able to slowly drive it home hoping it would correct itself then noticing powered steering light on dash. On arrival to my home I parked backwards in fear of getting stuck. I then tried numerous times to turn on and off the car with no change in steering or dashboard light. Fortunately this happened literally a mile off the highway which I could have easily gotten into a serious accident with much higher speeds and no control to drive the automobile.
