| 2004 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL | I HAVE A 2004 SATURN ION AND THERE WAS RECALL (04V547000) IN THIS VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNALS. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO I CONTACTED SATURN AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. I RESEARCHED THIS FURTHER AND CALLED SATURN AGAIN AND NOW WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE ALSO READ ARTICLES AND PEOPLE WERE STATING THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE THE WORK DONE A FEW TIMES BECAUSE WHAT WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SATURN IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE DEFECT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK. *JB |
