NHTSA Complaint #10679662 — 2005 SATURN ION

MY CAR'S BATTERY KEEPS DYING ON ME. IT WILL DO SO IF I'M DRIVING OR IF IT IS PARK AND SITS. THE BATTERY DRAINS. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN NO POWER (VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING!!). THE CAR HAS BEEN PARK AND COMPLETELY DIES AND I WILL NEED A HOT SHOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN TO THE GM DEALERSHIP IN OWINGS MILLS, MD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE IS BECAUSE OF THE NOTICE OF THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAD TO CALL THEM SO THAT THEY COULD TELL ME THAT THE PART ISN'T AVAILABLE ANYWHERE AND I HAVE TO WAIT. THEY WANTED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR AND DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT AND THIS CAR ISN'T SAVED TO DRIVE (REASON WHY I HAD IT TOWED THERE). I REQUESTED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THE PART COMES IN ON 1/29/15 AND I'M WAITING TO HERE BACK FROM THE MANAGER BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LOANER CAR. *TR
