 2007 saturn ion 3 manual sedan 1.) fuel pump delivery system recall and has been repaired after a serious fuel leak was detected. 2.)purge flow solenoid- engine light came on after the pump delivery system was detected but was not repaired because it was not included in recall. car gets very little gas mileage because the fuel to oxygen ratio being off. every time i go to the gas station i cannot get my car to start. it doesn't matter if i have half of a tank of gas or almost on empty. it takes several tries and only starts after i rev the engine because the fuel to oxygen ratio and the fuel pump floods my car as soon as the fuel pump is engaged. i know that after this happens so many times that it will cause the starter to burn up in my car. 3.) ignition switch- cannot turn key on as if the steering wheel is locked/ cannot turn key off/ take key out and car is still running! disconnect battery to shut the car off. 4.) electronic power steering- acts as if the power steering has a short. while driving with speeds as little as 15mph in a residential neighbor hood or 70mph on the interstate. the power steering light comes on and all power steering is lost and becomes almost impossible to drive. after shutting the car off and restarting the car the power steering works but shortly after it fails again. this happens every time i drive my car. the first time this happened i was on an exit ramp on the interstate with a very sharp curve. i could barely control the vehicle. needless to say my children are no longer allowed to ride in this car until it is repaired. *tr

 I was driving on a highway around 6 p.m. on my way home from work with my 3 year old in the back seat when suddlenly i felt my steering wheel jerk. i quickly realized something was wrong so i exited the road and went to a nearby gas station. i saw that my power steering light came on. this ia a serious problem, and gm was unwilling to fix the issue. i have a 100 thousand mile power train warrenty yet they say this problem is not covered. i have had other problems in the past with the electrical system as well as the fuel pump. why has this problem not been addressed? i have seen several different people from several different rescources that have had the same problem, so why is this daingerous problem not been disclosed to gm's customers?

 I was driving down the street and all of the sudden the car was acting funny and not driving normally. then the pwr str light came on. i pressed my onstar button and asked them to run a diagnostic check. it came back with nothing. i proceeded to the store i was going to. when i went back to the car and turned it on the steering wheel / column was loose and drove normally for about a minute. after that there was a beep and the pwr str light came on again and it was very difficult to steer.
