NHTSA Complaint #10256452 — 2005 SATURN ION

2005 SATURN ION RECALL- I HAVE THIS CAR A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION. CAR WONT START ESPECIALLY ON A COLD WEATHER. I NEED TO WAIT FOR 15-20 MINS BEFORE IT STARTS. I'VE BEEN LATE AT WORK MANY TIME S ALREADY AND I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR THIS CAR BUT I THINK ITS NOT WORTH IT. AND ALSO, I CAN PULL OUT THE KEYS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING,WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. WEIRD! YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK CONSMERAFFAIRS.COM--SEARCH SATURN ION TO CHECK ON THE COMPLAINTS. I HAVE PASTED SOME FOR YOU TO CHECK OUT. THANK YOU AND I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL FIND A WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. CAMERON OF GRAND RAPIDS MI (01/20/09) I ALSO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. I BOUGHT THE ION 04 BRAND NEW AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS. LATELY I'VE BEEN LATE FOR WORK AND MISSED OTHER APPOINTMENTS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE OF US LIVING IN THE COLD NORTH. IMAGINE YOUR CAR NOT STARTING IN BELOW ZERO TEMPS. I'M NOT WILLING TO FREEZE TO DEATH OVER THIS. IN THE SAME BREATH I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SATURN IS WELL AWARE OF AND BASED ON COMMENTS ON THIS SITE HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IF THEY ARE UNWILLING TO RECALL THESE CARS AND PARTS THEN I'M SURE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION! LAURA OF TAMPA FL (01/19/09) I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION LOCK AS APPARENTLY MANY OTHER SATURN OWNERS. I STARTED BY CALLING THE LOCAL SATURN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY WANTED ME TO PAY THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY CAUSED BY USING FAULTY PARTS. $171.83 WAS THE AMOUNT QUOTED TO ME. OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LIKE TO DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO ENSURE SATURN DOESN'T GET A SINGLE DIME MORE FROM ME. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE (800-553-6000)TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE REASONING BEHIND NOT ISSUING A RECALL. I WAS GIVEN THE SAME LINE ABOUT IT NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
