NHTSA Complaint #10668527 — 2006 SATURN ION

APPARENTLY EITHER THE "NEW IGNITIONS" ARE ALSO FAULTY OR THE DEALERSHIP LIED ABOUT HAVING REPLACED IT AS THEY DID ABOUT HAVING COMPLETED THE 3RD RECALL REPAIRS (I'D RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM SOME WEEKS LATER SAYING THE PARTS WERE NOW IN AND TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE WORK DONE). THIS EVENING AT ABOUT 5:35PM PACIFIC TIME I CAME HOME AND YET ONE MORE TIME THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AS IT WAS IN THE ALT POSITION. I TRIED 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER A SPAN OF 10-15 MINUTES TO NO AVAIL. THE HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE TURNED OFF MANUALLY AS DID THE OVERHEAD LIGHT. I WAS GETTING MY HOUSE KEY OFF THE RING SO I COULD GET MY TOOLS OUT OF THE HOUSE TO ONE MORE TIME DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND DECIDED TO TRY TO REMOVE THE KEY AGAIN. IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT THE KEY FINALLY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE REASON I SUSPECT IT MAY BE THE DEALERSHIP IS THAT ALTHOUGH THE SATURN WAS STILL ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE THIRD REPAIR ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV SITE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK LATER, COINCIDENTLY A FEW DAYS AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH GM OVER THE CONTINUING RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL TREATMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
