Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The 2003 saturn ion-3 power steering goes out while driving. it will work again, for a while, after the car has been restarted. this car has the electric power steering unit enclosed in the steering column. saturn has advised me this is a $1000.00 repair on a four year old car with 55,000 miles. i see that there is an investigation on pontiac g6 autos for this same problem. i would recommend expanding that investigation to include all gm cars with the electric power steering. *tr
