2007 Saturn Ion Engine cooling Problems

“I would be on my way to work or to the store and then all of the sudden my car lost all power, and would shut its self down. Therefore causing me to have to coast off to the side somewhere with my power steering locked up. Once my car would start running again any where from 10- 20 mins my power steering wouldn't function for the first 2 mins causing me to sit and wait till it kicks in. Not only does this happen, but when I get low on gas and go to fill up, after putting gas in my car it wont start!!!! …”

“Car stalled then ran again fine. Thought maybe bad gas or something. Started hearing a loud noise in the engine. Change oil came on and so I took it in to be serviced only to find out the timing chain had jumped keys. This is a terrible issue which could have caused me to wreck had I not had plenty of room to coast off the road. Also seat belt is stuck and will not unbutton so I am unable to buckle up the right way until that's fixed too. Looking online all of this seems to be a common problem however it appears people have to die from it before a recall is given. …”

The car was taken to the dealer,and a devise was placed on the car. …”

“I purchased my 2007 ION in october 2007. Within a month of its purchase, I was at the dealer getting the car washed and mentioned that the car was breathing heavy like it wanted to stall. The sales person pacified me by mentioning to tighten the gas cap with 3 - 5 clicks. The wanting to stall and heavy breathing continued, so the science project began. I tried several different gas stations- may it was bad gas; no. I tried switching to medium grade gas; no. The car seems to idle low: 600rpms. It would shake and rumble like it s coughing. I brought it to the dealer in february 2008. …”
