Power steeing column on 2004 Saturn Ion?

Dealer says will cost roughly $1000 to replace. There is no power steering fluid in it and doesn't come across to be anywhere to put fluid in. The tiller will not turn at all. The motor doesn't seem that prehistoric to be needing such a costly repair. How do I know that it freshly doesn't need fluid and would be ok? Where do you supply fluid to these cars?? Thank You!

BTW ... this is a friends car!


Answers:    GM have been moving over to an electric power assist steering setup. This is where on earth there is a small electric motor that assists while steering to endow with you power steering. There is no fluid in this setup. The most probable answer that I can present you is that the motor burned out and siezed up. I am not 100% sure about this coup¨¦, but I believe this one does have the electric assist steering.
If the steering rudder will not turn at all, at hand is a problem with the rack and pinion, and yes, that can be expensive.

Saturns are not the untouchable quality vehicle, and tend to break down often.

Sorry.............

The steering have been greatly better on 2004 Ion models. Saturn recalibrated the steering for more on-center road feel. It feel much better now. Also, torque steer have been eliminate. (Torque steer is that tugging sensation on the steering wheel we sometimes experience when accelerate hard out of a turn surrounded by a powerful front-wheel-drive car.) The variable-ratio steering is electrically assisted, a technology which General Motors developed for its big luxury cars; this is one of the first times it have appeared in a small saloon.
