Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. The 2003 reports latest and the 2005 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2003 has had 2 more years on the road to accumulate mileage.

Owners filed 4,339 complaints with NHTSA about the 2003–2007 Saturn Ion; the steering leads with 39.2% of them, and half of the 3,539 that record an odometer reading came by 67,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 44,000 and 100,000 miles.

How many miles does a 2003–2007 Saturn Ion last?
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2003–2007 Saturn Ion, half of the 3,539 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 67,000 miles and 90% by 135,000 miles.
236 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 56 past 200,000 — each one proof that an Ion reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 67,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The steering accounts for 39.2% of complaints (1,701 reports, 1,534 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 70,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 49,000 and 102,000 miles.
A single system taking 39.2% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The electrical system accounts for 35.7% of complaints (1,547 reports, 1,131 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 62,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 92,000 miles.
The fuel and propulsion system accounts for 7.3% of complaints (317 reports, 263 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 101,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 70,000 and 132,000 miles.
The airbag system accounts for 6.0% of complaints (261 reports, 146 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 66,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 35,000 and 102,000 miles.
The fuel system accounts for 5.5% of complaints (240 reports, 202 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 69,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 49,000 and 93,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 4.6% of complaints (198 reports, 166 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 57,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 22,000 and 92,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2003–2007 Ion
Vti CVT Transmission 2003–2004
GM's VTi continuously variable transmission suffered very high failure rates — slipping and shudder progressing to total loss of drive. GM halted VTi production in January 2004 and dropped it for MY2005; a class action produced a settlement and extended warranty coverage.
Ignition Switch 2003–2007
Same low-detent-torque ignition switch as the Cobalt/HHR: key-ring weight or a jolt can rotate the switch out of 'Run', killing the engine and disabling power steering assist, power brake assist and the airbags. All 2003-2007 Ions were included in GM's February 2014 recall expansion.
Electric Power Steering 2004–2007
Column-mounted electric power steering assist motor/control circuit fails, causing sudden loss of steering assist (steering remains mechanical but effort rises sharply). GM recalled all MY2004-2007 Ions under its 2014 power-steering campaign after an extended delay.

- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 44,000 and 100,000 miles, with a median of 67,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.
On inspection, the steering and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The electrical system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 62,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2003–2007 Saturn Ion recalls (10)
NHTSA records 10 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the fuel system (3), the electrical system (1), the steering (1). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
