problem #1

Nov 212013

Ion LX 2.4L

  • Manual transmission
  • 88,125 miles

Didn't like it that the wheel bearings didn't last over 88K miles..both sides.. And repairs ran over $600.00 as the replacement is a whole new hub assembly system..

Very disappointed the General motors/Chev/Saturn would let this problem continue in their product. As, I have checked out several complaints on this item and mfr....Might their need to be a recall? This is considered to be one of my most serious concerns when driving a vehicle..Will the damn wheel fall off or the brakes stop me safely? I still own the Saturn as it has given me very good service since I bought it new..And has required the usual maintenance associated at the needed mileage intervals.
