Replying to: 06ion (Dec 05, 2007 2:48 pm) I have 2004 ION have the same problems. Just had the ignition switch replaced last week.The power steering came back after the car sat for an hour. I saw the service bullitons and the problem seems to be in the re-keying
#3376 of 3384 Mystery Transmission Issue by vixxs Sep 23, 2008 (5:23 am)
This morning during my regular commute in clear, mild weather, my 2004 Ion (35K mi) started behaving strangely. When I slowed down due to traffic, it seemed to take a while to slow down fully. When releasing the brake but not yet going back to the accelerator, the car jolted forward as though I had hit the accelerator. After a while I noticed the steering wheel vibrating while I was idling. Driving and steering were fine and I didn't notice any unusual noises.   When I pulled into my parking spot and put the car in park, the RPMs were pretty high...I tapped on the accelerator and it shot up and stayed high. I turned the car off and even after killing the engine, it took a little bit for the RPMs to come down, but I started it again, ran it through all the gears and it was fine. Ideas...?
#3377 of 3384 Cold air by jeremy_switzer Apr 19, 2009 (1:29 pm)
Does anyone know where I can get the cold air pipe with the mass air flow sensor port for my 07 saturn ion 2.2L? All the ones from Auto Zone are are round holes.
#3378 of 3384 Ion power steering by dwell Apr 30, 2009 (12:25 pm)
My 2004 Ion blew both fuses for the power steering at the same time. I replaced the fuses and the power steering worked again but locked breifly necessitating a quick jerk to free it, when I made turns. Gradually the power steering quit. Does it need a new rack or is it something in the electronic system? I hate to replace a rack if its something different.

#3380 of 3384 key stuck in acc position by ladyintx Aug 11, 2009 (12:57 pm)
To all of you who have had your key stick in the acc position while turning it off: if you have been through the multiple trips, been towed, etc,etc tell your nearest dealer that you want the BTSI switch replaced......the automatic transmission shift lock control. I had a new ignition, new keys and still had a problem until yesterday. My power steering went out also last week and that got a new motor and steering module. The key sticking took 2.5 yrs of problematic visits and ultimately 5 dealerships. I'm just hoping to help anyone out there.
#3381 of 3384 Power Steering out - car won't start by nyghtcloud Sep 05, 2009 (2:32 pm)
One day I left my keys in the car and battery died. After giving it the usual time to tried again to crank but I had no luck. I replaced the battery which immediately powered the car up because you could here the lock system kick in. But when I tried to start the car it would not turn. Now the car has a brand new battery and it still won't start. Is there anyone who knows of a quick fix that can help me get the car to the dealer. I live too far to have it driven all the way to the dealer so is there switch, fuse or wire that can be repaired long enough to DRIVE IT to the dealer and let them go from there? If anyone has had this issue or you are a mechanic, please tell how to fix this. I am am not an expert but I can fix the basics (brakes, oil change, electrical).

Replying to: nyghtcloud (Sep 05, 2009 2:32 pm) It sounds like a pass lock issue. My buddy used to be a Saturn mechanic and he said that the pass lock and lower control arm bushings are the 2 main things that go bad on the Ions. He said you just have to replace some module in the steering column. Hope that helps. Replies to this message: nyghtcloud (Sep 12, 2009 5:30 am)
#3383 of 3384 Re: Power Steering out - car won't start [jeremy_switzer] by nyghtcloud Sep 12, 2009 (5:30 am)
Replying to: jeremy_switzer (Sep 06, 2009 6:27 pm) Jeremy thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I would need to know the specific parts he replaced to help me figure out what is keeping the car from starting in the first place. Once I get past that problem then everything else is gravy. But again thanks. I will talk with AUTOZONE/ADVANCE AUTO stores and see if they have heard of this module change, but if you happen to know how I can ask you friend directly it might help. Thanks again and have a great day.
