Ion 2.2L L4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 134,938 miles

I just purchased this vehicle 2 months' ago. There were no steering problems until today (11/16/16. As I slowed down to make a left turn, there was suddenly NO steering --lost control and coasted off of the road. Luckily, no one was coming, or we would have had a real problem----possibly a head-on! I was extremely scared. I knew I'd lost the steering at that time. I turned off the engine......restarted it and the steering resumed. I can't trust that this will not happen again, though. I want this checked out and fixed at no expense to me. I see there are many problems re: the 2004 Saturn ION. I want to drive this car for many more years. Please help me. Can someone authorize service for this problem here in Boise, Idaho? Vicki Johnson

Update from Nov 20, 2016: I am unsure what step (s) to take now. When I take this car to a dealer, what do I need to tell them, etc? Vicki Johnson
