Example complaints

“Shortly after purchasing the vehicle my tail light and the headlight on the opposite side from that tail light went out. I replace the lights and have a mechanic looks at the issue at least once a year but they continue to go out constantly. I have been pulled over several times for this issue and have paid many tickets. This has to be something wrong with this vehicle, I have never had to change my lights on my previous cars like this and it is costing me a fortune not to mention dangerous if since it affects my turn signals as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10607912, filed 2014-07, 50,000 miles“Unfortunately I have a 2007 Saturn ION which sounds like it is going to break in half over even the slightest small bumps in the road. I have a warranty on the vehicle which expired in june 2010. Although the car only has 29000 miles on it~ Saturn would not honor the warranty when I brought my car in for a check engine light~ it was the purge sensor. They wanted to charge me over $300 to repair this issue. I went online and saw many other's had reported the same problem. I also saw the part for only $26.00 ~however at the Saturn dealership they charged me $51.00 for the part. …”
NHTSA complaint #10343759, filed 2010-07, 27,000 miles“My turn signal went out but my parking light stays on. I saw on a site that there was a recall for this problem. I need my right turn signal fixed! I have changed bulbs & it still doesn't work, but the parking still does work! Why is this! Just bought this car off of a person not long ago & it was working til yesterday!”
