Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY TURN THE CAR OFF. THE IGNITION WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY AND WILL BE STUCK IN THE ACC POSITION MOST TIMES. THE MOST RECENT TIME I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF AT ALL. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE OR ALLOW THE KEY TO TURN EVEN MINIMALLY. HAD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY, PULL THE FUEL PUMP FUSE IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING. THE IGNITION STILL WOULD NOT RELEASE THE KEY. I GOT THIS INFORMATION ON HOW TO DO THIS FROM MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET ON SATURN IONS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY DO NOT ADDRESS THIS IN THE MANUAL, AND WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 18 MONTHS AGO TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEN, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION WHICH DID NOT SEEM TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. *TR
