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.

I'm taking the heap in monday& tralking with someone to suggest what I
should do,he'll probably say:"This was a small problem,it won't happen
again!",I really want another car.I know,at least it wasn't  something
major,like the engine,but,these things (suspention) shouldn't be a
problem.On 14 Jan 2005 10:01:45 -0800, "lust4sun" <andy@lust4sun.com>

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.
