2004 Saturn ION 3 review from North America
"Economical and easy to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Struts and brake pads.
Now the bypass lock is acting up, after 100000 miles.
Signal bulbs (front driver side) been replaced almost 4 times.
General comments?
I've had the car for almost five years with over 100000 miles on it. I really can't complain because I never had any problems until now.
I am reading a lot about the bypass needing to be replaced because the car won't start. We didn't start to have that problem until about 100000.
Other than the normal wear wear and tear, nothing really big needed to be replaced.
