2003 Saturn ION review from North America
"The car is unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought my 2003 Saturn Ion brand new.
In 2006 I began to have starting problems with it. My car won't start at random times. There is no rhyme or reason for it. It doesn't start in all types of weather. Most of the time it will start after my radio turns off, which is 10 minutes, other times I have to wait 20 minutes.
Most people are saying it's only during cold weather, but my car does it in the summer too.
It's very frustrating and has made me late for work on more than one occasion.
