Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 SATURN ION2 SEDAN. AS OF THE PAST WINTER WITH UNSEASONABLE COLD TEMPS I BEGAN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION OF MY CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL SOMETIMES FOR HOURS AT A TIME. THE IGNITION HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN WESTERN NY WHERE WE DO SEE COLD TEMPS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE A CHILD I MUST GET TO SCHOOL BEFORE I GO TO WORK EVERY DAY. I HAVE BEEN A TRUE ADVOCATE OF SATURNS VEHICLES UP UNTIL THE PURCHASE OF THIS ONE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND NO RESOLUTION. I REALLY HOPE THAT THEE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR GM TO ACTUALLY STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SELL MY CAR OR BE FOREVER SLIGHTED BY SATURNS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE AS A STRUGGLING SINGLE MOM HELP TAKE CARE OF YOUR CONSUMERS. *TR
