In the affected vehicles, the

weight on the key ring
and/or road conditions or
some other jarring event
may cause the ignition
switch to move out of the
run position, turning off the 2007 PONTIAC G5
engine. If the key is not in
the run position, the air bags
may not deploy if the
2003-2007 SATURN ION
vehicle is involved in a
crash, increasing the risk of
injury.

In the affected vehicles,
there may be a sudden loss
of electric power steering
(EPS) assist that could
occur at any time while
driving. If power steering
assist is lost, greater driver
effort would be required to
steer the vehicle at low
speeds, increasing the risk
of a crash.

If the ignition key can be

ignition is not in the "off"
position, the vehicle could
