Consumer Description

I LIVE IN MINNESOTA WHEN THE TEMP DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES MY 2004 SATURN ION2 WON"T START. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING LAST WINTER, I HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE THAT. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY LAST WINTER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SATURN DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. USUALLY IT TAKES FROM 15MINUTES TO HALF A HOUR FOR CAR TO START. BUT TODAY WAS DIFFERENT WENT OUT TO START MY CAR BECAUSE THE TEMP WAS 28DEGREES THIS MORNING I TRIED TO START MY CAR FOR OVER A HOUR I WAS ALMOST LATE FOR WORK STILL NO START. THEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR WHEN I GOT OFF WORK STILL NO START. I SPOKE WITH A COWORKER SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SHE REPLACED BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR AND HER DOES NOT START WHEN IT RAINS. WHY IS THERE NOTHING BEING DONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS SOLD BY SATURN IT HAS GM PARTS. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS. *TR
