Consumer Description

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 SATURN ION. AND WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED LIKE A DREAM. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO 34 DEGREES F OR SO. AND IT WOULD NOT START. I WAS FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE TO WORK BECAUSE THIS SO CALLED "RELIABLE" CAR WOULDN'T START BECAUSE IT THOUGHT I WAS BREAKING INTO IT. IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I WOULD'VE PURCHASED THE CHEVY, THIS IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM AS I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. WE'RE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOME PIECE OF CRAP CAR THAT DOESN'T START WHEN IT'S TOO COLD/DAMP OUT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON!!!!! *TR
