Consumer Description

MY SATURN ION (2003) HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS THIS WINTER WITH INTERMITTENT STARTS. I TRY TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING, AND IT JUST WON'T CRANK OVER. I HAVE MISSED WORK, AND BEEN STRANDED IN THE FREEZING COLD. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THE STARTER SWITCH. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DONE, AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. I CANNOT AFFORD A $200 REPAIR ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY SATURN. THIS IS A CASE OF NEGLIGENCE. *JB
