Ion Is Sliding Fast

[sturg57]

My '03 Ion is really getting to be a pain,now,there's a thumping noise from the front end,when i drive over some bumps fast it sounds like somethings loose,I just had a ball joint replaced last fall,I dont know if trading it on another-if they'll let me-would be worth it.I'm sick of going to the dealer for all this non-oil change crap.The employees take it so casually,like"it can be worked out"I'm going to talk to a salesman,or someone other than a appointment maker.

I am also having the cold start problem. I had the ignition replaced and I am already having recurring starting problems. Andy Cooper Las Vegas, NV 2003 ION 2 QC

Do a search on the Chevy Cobalt using www.google.com. Uses the same platform as the Ion but apparently they decided to actually build a decent car this time. Too bad for the Ion buyers.

Yes. Mine too. (clunkity-bump + sqreeka-sqreeka noise over long-travel bumps) They alleged it was busted bushings and replaced both under warranty.
