“My 2007 Saturn ION 2 passenger seat belt keeps malfunctioning. When my passengers buckle up, the seat belt will no release when they are trying to exit the vehicle when I stop.I am afraid that if there is an accident that the person will be trapped. Also when someone is buckled, the seat belt buzzes and does not stop.”

“Over the last three to four years my power steering has went out my front passenger tire has almost fallen off twice I had to have it fixed my car don't want to start after I fill it up it's sputters every time and I've had literally had to get cut out of my seatbelt because it would not unlatch and mikey don't want to come out of the ignition have the time. The power steering went out while driving the tire almost fell off while driving and of course I'm stopped when I'm fueling and I was stopped when I was stuck in my seatbelt and stopped every time I try to take my key out”

NHTSA complaint #11045315, filed 2017-11, 77,000 miles

“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. …”

“Involved in a rear-end collision, I was the one that got hit at a red stop light the car that hit me totaled his car and I ended up hitting the car in front of me while we were both waiting for the light to turn green my front end of the vehicle has extensive damage and my airbags did not deploy upon impact. I called and spoke with Saturn and they gave me 3 different reasons why the airbags did not deploy which I'm not buying...I did hire an attorney for the accident and considering getting Saturn involved with this lawsuit..”

“I have contacted Saturn about the seat belt issue and they refuse to do anything about it. The belt will not click or unclick when putting the seat belt on. My heating and cooling system fan does not want to work unless I put the fan onto number 3 and it is drawing too much power from the battery. I just need these fixed for safety reasons.”
