Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2004 SATURN ION 2. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 32 DEGREES OR LOWER MY CAR WILL NOT START IF IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MORE THAN 4 OR 5 HOURS. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY MORNING AND OCCASIONALLY AFTER WORK IF THE TEMPERATURE IS TOO COLD. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WILL COST AROUND $200.00 TO FIX. *TR
