2004 Saturn ION 2 review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Like the other posters, my 2004 Ion 2 will not start on very cold days (below 25 degrees or so). The security light comes on. For some reason, it "thinks" someone is trying to steal the car, so the engine is disabled. I leave work at 11:30 pm and have to sit more than 15 minutes, sometimes in single-digit temperatures, waiting until the engine will start. My windows sometime have more than a quarter-inch of ice on them and I can't even begin to de-ice until the engine will start so I can run the heat/defroster. Today I had to call in "sick" to work because it still wouldn't start after 20 minutes of waiting. In spite of wearing snow boots and two pair of thick socks, a pullover sweater, cardigan sweater and heavy overcoat, and gloves, I was frozen stiff awaiting the engine restart, so I just gave up, and went back in the house. This is very aggravating and I'm angry that the Saturn dealership did not divulge this problem that apparently is very common in this model.

The 2004 Saturn Ion is stylish and affordable, yet odd and misleading
