Consumer Description

MY 2004 ION WON'T START. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN NOVEMBER WITH COLD WEATHER, BUT HAS OCCURRED WHEN IT WAS NOT COLD OUT AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE UNTIL I CAN'T START IT AT ALL AND ITS BECAUSE OF THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM. I HAVE READ PROBABLY MORE THAN A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SATURN OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE'S SAFETY. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A CAR PAYMENT WHEN YOU CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR OR LEAVE IN AN EMERGENCY? I USED TO BE ABLE TO WAIT TEN MINUTES FOR THE PASSLOCK TO DEACTIVATE, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL TRIES OF DOING THIS BEFORE I EVER GOT ANYWHERE, BUT NOW NOTHING. THE CAR IS OK OTHERWISE. MECHANICS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR
