2004 Saturn ION 2 review from North America
"This car is a huge waste of time and money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The turn signals were recalled and replaced.
The ignition switch was defective and replaced.
The stereo system was defective and replaced.
I had 2 blower motors replaced and I currently need a 3rd.
The electronic panel on the driver's side works when it feels like it. Sometimes the window won't open and sometimes it will.
The thermometer/compass in the rear view mirror has spliced.
General comments?
Don't let all the bells and whistles fool you! This car is a lemon! I bought this car brand new and have had problem after problem with it.
At first Saturn were good about replacing the parts, even though some needed replacing more than one time. I was given free oil change coupons to make up for the time that I had spent coming in to have my brand new car repaired every week.
Now that the warranty is over, so is the customer service. I dread what else I will have to pay for while I am still trying to pay off the darn thing.
