2006 Saturn Ion Visibility & Wipers Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN OR SHUT AND ALL THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND COULD NOT CONTINUE SERVICING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

THE SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NO LONGER STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT IS LOOSE AND JUST HANGS DOWN AND IT BLOCKS MY VISION. THE FIRST TIME I BECAME AWARE OF THIS I WAS DRIVING AND THE VISOR FELL DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. NOW THE VISOR JUST HANGS DOWN ALL THE TIME AND BLOCKS MY VISION. GM HAS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM RIGHT NOW BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD CORRECT THIS AT NO COST TO CUSTOMERS. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 26000 MILES ON MY CAR SO THIS CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT SUCH AN EARLY DATE. WILL YOU PLEASE PURSUE THIS WITH GM FOR US? I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $200 TO $400 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WON'T ROLL DOWN. WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WITH MULTIPLE REPAIRS. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $300. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

IN FEBRUARY/MARCH OF 2006 I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF. THE SWITCH OPERATING THE SUNROOF WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AND HAD THIS CHECKED ON 03/17/2006. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED AND A REPLACEMENT PART WAS ORDERED. *JB
