Two weeks after I bought the car, the transmission would 'bolt' and the car would stall out.
A week later the driver side window fell in.
Subsequently, in the next two years every window had to be replaced because of faulty manufacturing.
The dashboard peeled two weeks after the car was bought, and it had to be replaced.
My passlock light stays on and won't go off.
I have had no power steering for the past 6 months. The car intermittently will not start for no apparent reason.
The car has a knocking sound in the back and in the front. It sounds as if it is going to fall apart.
This car is a disaster and I would never have recommended the Ion to anyone. No wonder it was discontinued.
The knocking sound may be CV joints if it goes with the car's speed and is louder when you turn. Good luck.
I bought a Saturn Ion 2005 last year, it's second hand, and incredible to me, every time the weather is cold, the car doesn't turn on. I was reading about recalls and nothing, and about other cars and I found that the Saturn Ion 2004 has this problem, but nothing about the 2005. I want to know what happened and how I can fix this problem, it's driving me crazy.
