Consumer Description

IF THE WEATHER BECOMES COLD, THE CAR WILL NOT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF SITTING IN THE CAR AND TRYING TO START IT OVER AND OVER. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE, BUT AT THE TIME, THE CAR WORKED PROPERLY. BOTH TIMES, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW BATTERY. I AM NOW SAVING THE MONEY TO HAVE THE IGNITION MODULE REPLACED. SATURN JUST KEEPS TELLING ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY. HOW MANY DO I NEED? *NM
