Ion Is Sliding Fast

Jan 14, 2005 4 Replies

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 have this same problem. It only happens when I driver over a dip while turning. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

I also hear other noises, but they are just too hard to describe to try and find out what they are.

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

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