Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE. WE TOOK IT TO CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO TOLD US HE HAS SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON THE SATURN IONS. THERE IS CORROSION ON THE INSIDE OF THE TURN SIGNAL BULB SOCKET WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW A GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. A LADY ALMOST HIT US HEAD ON BECAUSE IN THE CAR, IT APPEARS WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LANE SIGNAL, EVERYTHING IS FUNCTIONING WELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES THINKING IT WAS THE BULBS, BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT CORRECT. *TR
AROUND SAID MILEAGE, THE CAR'S FRONT PASSENGER TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO TELL BY THE FASTER CLICKING OF THE ARROW ON THE DASHBOARD. I REPLACED THE BULB, WHICH ALSO SERVES AS THE DRL IN THIS VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE BULB FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD AND IT APPEARS THERE IS NO OUTAGE HOWEVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE TURN SIGNAL, THE LIGHT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE SERVING AS THE DRLS, THE BULB DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. *TR
FOR THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS, THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS HAVE NOT WORKED. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS ALL AROUND THE CAR WITH 3 DIFFERENT BRANDS AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS..STILL NOTHING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT ONLY ON THE 2003-04 MODEL SATURN IONS, NOT MINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE..I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP 5 ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE ALSO FOUND ONLINE OTHER 2006 ION OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS, AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
