Dissappointed, sad, and upset
I bought my Saturn Ion new in February of 2006. After the first year of ownership I had the transmission replaced and it was not something I did but something they say just happened. I paid for it out of my pocket. I called GM and they said they were not going to reimburse me. I still own the vehicle and cannot drive it now. As of April 6, 2009 I was returning home from work, tried to turn off the ignition and it would not turn off. I called Onstar and they GM. Neither one knew what to do. My Saturn Ion ran for three hours sitting still because they could not figure out how to shut the car off. I had to have the ignition switch, steering column, and the key replaced. GM said it was natural.
Employee reviews?
I only wish I had shopped around before buying this car. Our experience with this car has been horrible yet all these GREAT reviews....sounds awfull fishy to me. Little history. Was in the shop with a transmission problem at a little over 400 miles and now a brake problem. Oh, and did I mention the interior...I thought it would grow on me but cheap is cheap and uncomfortable. My kids hate it and complain it is difficult to sit more than 30 min in the back seats. Oh well, live and learn. Should have listened to my husband. He wanted a Honda.
Safe, fun, practical, and hot!
I LOVE my ION! I had an '04 ION until October 25th of this year when I was involved in a wreck and the entire front end of my car just kinda went...POOF! BUT, I walked away without a scratch..perfectly fine. We were told that they hadn't seen that much damage and the person standing there telling them what happened. These cars are absolutely wonderful. After everything with the wreck was resolved and the other persons insurance got us our check for the '04..we went straight to our dealer and got another ION but an '06. The two do handle much differently took a little bit to get used to, but I love it. And the dent resistant paneling is great for new drivers. Because we all know accidents happen
LOVED this car
I loved my Ion. The only reason I don't have it anymore is because someone ran me off the road and it ended up totaled. Loved driving this car, loved the look of it. Was the perfect car for me, and I miss it terribly! I would have gone and bought another one in a heartbeat if they were still made. Awesome car!
