My friend just got a brand new 2004 ION2 appx 2 weeks ago. And already noticed the following problems. 1) A screw on the passanger side door panel seems to be missing (near the speaker) and you can hear buzzing noise when list to audio (esp w/ heavy bass) or ob bumpy road 2) The MP3 player option - It is a double height unit (i.e. you lose the storage slot under). And few days ago, the unit refuse to eject a CD (the CD has no lable or stickers of any kind) and report 'Eject Error'. However after restart of the car, the CD will eject (but the disc gets REALLY HOT). Then yesterday while listening to CD (MP3) all the buttons were disabled. i.e. you can't change volume, eject, or even turn off the unit. Restart of the vehicle doesn't fix it. However after turn off the engine for the second time and restart seems to work. 3) The gas filling door is on PASSANGER side (unlike SL series...) and the door has no lock (i.e. anyone can open the door and gain access to the cap) The filling cap is IMHO too deep, because when you fill up the gas, the handle will be touching the panel. - Someone who has a 2000 SL2
