| In cold weather my saturn ion will fail to start. the ignition will click a couple of time then nothing. i wait 8-10 minutes and try again sometimes it will attempt to start sometimes not. then i have to wait some more and try again, eventually it will start. i had 2 new batteries replaced and still problem persists. i found a saturn message board that addressed this very problem. hope you can get saturn to recall this issue. *tr | |||

| I bought the car brand new, drove one mile off the lot, the engine stopped and would not start. it was towed the next morning to the dealer and they replaced the engine control module. at 15,400 miles the car again would not start, they replaced the ignition switch. at 16,000 miles the chime for the ignition would not turn off and the ignition housing was replaced. at 19,500 miles i complained that the car would start and immediately turn off again, the dealer said nothing was wrong. the next day the ignition would not turn off and the key was stuck. they replaced the ignition housing again. at 22,300 miles i complained that the key was sticking in the ignition, the dealer said nothing was wrong. about 6 months later (last weekend before leaving to go out of town) at 27,200 miles the ignition would not turn off and the key was stuck again. the ignition housing was replaced for the third time! i contacted the manufacturer and was only offered a one year extension on the warranty. what good will an extended warranty do for a car that you can't trust to drive because you never know whether it will start or turn off when you need it to!!! i will never buy another saturn again!!!!! *tr | |||
