NHTSA Complaint #10308713 — 2003 SATURN ION

I'VE BEEN HAVING COLD STARTING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 SATURN ION. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FIX BY DEALER 3 TIMES IN THE PAST. AT 620.00 A POP THAT'S HARD . NOW AFTER TALKING TO A TECHNICIAN THAT USED TO WORK FOR SATURN BEFORE THEY CLOSED ,THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY OIL THAT RELEASES FROM THE PART WHEN COLD AND LEAKS DOWN FROM THE IGNITION TO THE PASS LOCK SWITCH THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BEFORE THIS BURNS SOMEONE UP AND KILLS THEM . THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX ALL THESE CARS .DO IT RIGHT AND STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR SOMETHING THAT REALLY CANT BE FIXED SIMPLY BY REPLACING A PART THAT WILL CONTINUE LEAKING OIL WHEN COLD. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THIS HASN'T ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. I CAN ONLY WAIT TO SEE IF THIS HAPPENS THEY NEED TO PAY ,I CANT AFFORD TO GO BUY A CAR WITH WORK SLOW SO SATURN AND GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. ALL THIS IS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH INSIDE THE CAR AND IF A FIRE STARTS WITH YOU IN IT AT THE WHEEL YOU LOSE A CAR AND POSSIBLE A LIFE OR MORE IF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS LOCKS DOWN YOUR CAR. IT'S NOT ONLY ME ITS MY KIDS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT DANGER IT'S ALL WHO DRIVE A SATURN ION 2003. *TR
