2003 Saturn ION review from North America
"Cheaply made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One month after I paid it off and the warranty expired, it developed front end noise.
A CD player that is intermittent at best.
And the ignition has started to give me problems.
The battery and charging system is good, and it seems to be the ignition switch.
I too will be pushing for a recall on the switch and its lubricant.
Thanks for the info in the other reviews.
General comments?
The car was cheap, and gets great mileage.
I guess got what I paid for.
It still is no excuse for selling junk.
