2003 Saturn ION 3 from North America - Comments

I have had starting problems with this car since I bought it new in 2003. I brought it back to the dealer in 2004, its first winter, and they told me it was the brain in the computer, and this was not covered by the warranty. They said that I hit the odometer with something, and that is why the plastic on the front of the odometer was cracked. What a crock. They also never gave me the old computer and said they had thrown it away.

I had the brain replaced, and that plastic has already cracked due to vibration and cold weather. It was $700 plus tax. The next cold season, the same problem.

I replaced the battery 3 times. I still have the same problem. I have to wait 10-15 minutes after attempting to start the car before it will turn over. Saturn is no help at all. I want to sue and am looking at class action. Never again GM.

Saturn should be ashamed of themselves for this problem. Cheap wiring, and to re-wire this car they want 2500. I am really sorry that people are losing jobs, but if you put out a product like this you need to lose your job.

Saturn in Detroit are no help at all. As a consumer I am very angry, and have missed work and lost money because of this problem, on top of the repairs that were unwarranted.

I am going to contact the media in the area and see if they cannot help me with this problem. I have had enough.

I drive a 2003 Saturn Ion, and I have had the same problems, and also with the tag light and headlights also. These cars are not worth the purchase. You have to replace everything on them.
