The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Ion. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed, the accelerator pedal was released and became stuck causing the vehicle to unintendedly accelerate to 90 MPH. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow down. The contact manually lifted the accelerator pedal and was able to merge to the side of the road.

CAR CUTS OFF A/C WONT WORK UNLESS ON MAX AND MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING. CPU ISSUE LIKE RPM FLUCTUATES I THINK ITS THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY CPU PROBLEM AND ITS JERKS ALOT DEALER SAID AINT NOTHING THE CAN DO BOUT IT BUT THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT WITH IN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE TIME. SO IT CUTS OFF WHILE RIDING AND JERKS WHILE IM ON THE BREAKS

LOOSE SPEED WHILE DRIVING DROP FROM 55 TO 10 ALMOST COMES TO COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED ON HIGHWAY DRIVING NOW IT DOES IT ON CITY STREETS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS AT A TIME.

TODAY MY CAR HAS STARTED ACCELERATING UNINTENTIONALLY. IT FIRST HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY DESTINATION AROUND AN HOUR LATER IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. MY CAR WAS LITERALLY SLOWLY CRUISING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

ENGINE REDUCED SPEED LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR CANT ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 SATURN ION 3 QUAD COUP IN 2006. IN APRIL OF 2007 THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD NOISED WHEN STARTING IT. IT WOULD IDLE HIGH AT STOPS AND WOULD FEEL LIKE I WAS ROLLING GRAVEL WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. SATURN MADE ME WAIT AN ENTIRE WEEK FOR AN APPOINTMENT. BY TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. SATURN SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT JUST UPDATED THE COMPUTER CHIP. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BROKE. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE REPLACED IT. TWO WEEKS AGO I HAD THE SAME ISSUES. LOUD NOISES, HIGH IDLING, THE CAR WOULD LITERALLY JUMP BACK WHEN I STARTED IT. I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND JUST UPDATED THE COMPUTER AGAIN. YESTERDAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR JUST STOPPED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. I SEE NO REASON WHY THEIR MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. ARE THEY CUTTING CORNERS TO BE ABLE TO "FIX" MORE CARS IN ONE DAY. I DON'T SEE WHY A TWO YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES. I SEE FROM MANY BLOGS AND WEB PAGES THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL SATURN. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BESIDES DISCONTINUE THE MAKE OF THE CAR WHICH THEY ALREADY DID. THIS IS NO LONGER AN INCONVENIENCE, IT'S ABSOLUTE FRUSTRATION. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR A CAR TO BE DEPENDABLE AND TO GET ME FROM POINT A TO POINT B SAFELY. I DO NOT WANT TO BE LOCKED IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE. *TR
