Consumer Description

THE FOLLOWING EVENT OCCURRED ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:45 P.M. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN ION. I DROVE TO THE SERVICE STATION FOR GAS. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN OFF MY CAR, THE KEY WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE IGNITION WAS LOCKED. I CALLED THE SATURN DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED, BUT I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE MY CAR THERE AND SOMEONE WOULD DISABLE MY CAR. THE BATTERY CABLES HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED TO TURN OFF THE CAR. IN ORDER TO REPAIR MY CAR, THE WHOLE IGNITION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER SATURN ION OWNERS. *TR
