Saturn Ion Repair Questions and Answers


Question:  2004 Saturn Ion 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 62400 miles. I fixed a wrecked ion... the passenger side front wheel bows in at the top...I went to get it aligned and they said the tie rod end was bent on the passenger side.... what does this part look like and how can I fix it myself.... money's a little tight, that's why I got a wrecked car and fixed it.... thanks

Answer:   Don't know which is bent, but I'll bet it's the inner! You need an inner tie rod tool...then you must disconnect, and unscrew the outer, then remove the dust boot, then unscrew the inner, reverse to install new one...The right one shows the inner, installed on the rack! Left is the outer..



Question:  2004 Saturn Ion 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 64,000 miles. I think that a sensor is out the security light flashes and I cant start the car for a while. then it starts but now it wont start my mechanic told me that its the security which makes sense but how can I fix the probably without spending a bundle?

Answer:  I would suspect the key or key reader, (if chip key is used) A diagnostic code read should give you information of any ECU sensor faults.



Question: 
2003 Saturn Ion 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 60,000 miles. My driver side windshield wiper keeps hitting my driver side window when using, I saw a part of the wiper fly off my window and then a few days later when using them it keeps going past the main wind shield and hitting my drivers side window. Do you think by putting on new wipers this will resolve the issue or do I have to take it to a shop?

Answer:    You can re position the wiper arm, but that may make it strike the bonnet instead, what is normally the problem is one or more of the wiper regulator bushes are worn, and this allows the wiper arc to increase, causing the arm to strike off the screen. You should get your mechanic to inspect and repaired as needed.


Question:  1999 Saturn Ion 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual. I have engine oil in the coolant recovery tank; any ideas on cause; should I replace the motor.

Answer:   Is the engine running rough? miss firing? over heating? oil in the coolant will normally be a head gasket problem, As your sis a manual it will not be a transmission leak via the radiator. Is the oil very low? I would be doing a bit more investigation before installing another engine.
