Ion 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,182 miles

I recently bought a Saturn Ion 2. The very next morning , O' my god, there was such a loud, extremely LOUD, screeching metal scraping sound coming from the rear brakes I could not believe it. WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO I am yelling at myself at the top of my lungs knowing I had just spent everything I had saved for so long. With every braking, for about 5 min., continued this LOUD TERRIFYING SOUND as if the whole back end were going TO FALL OUT!!!! then it disappeared. Poof, just like that it was gone. Though it now was sounding as if I had no rear brakes, a lite sound of scraping metal to metal and then after about 4 or 5 min. that too had disappeared. Or maybe not BECAUSE at this point " I WAS SO AFRAID TO EVEN PRESS ON THE BRAKES" but I had to if I wanted to make it home. Other Issues As Well, BUT I will be listing them separately".

GM, DO YOU people really know what you are doing? FOR ONE, YOU ARE KILLING PEOPLE!!! PEOPLE ARE DYING, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT REALLY TESTING THESE VEHICLES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT BEFORE PUTTING THEM OUT TO BE SOLD, ALL FOR THE LOVE AND GREED OF MONEY!!! IS MONEY MORE VALUABLE THAN LIFE?????????
