2003 Saturn ION 2 review from North America
"Piece of garbage!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got this car, I was in love. After a few months had gone by, I had slowly started to wonder what I got myself into?
Within the first year I've had to replace normal wear and tear things such as brakes, tires, rotors, etc. Then it started.
I've had the car about 3 years and have had to replace the exhaust system.
The lock fell into my door on the drivers side, so I had to take that in to get fixed.
I hit a bump one day, and my windshield cracked from one side to the other, and now... The biggest problem, which I don't have the slightest clue on what is wrong with it, and even after taking it into the mechanics 4 times, just this winter is the car won't start in cold weather. Sometimes it won't even start in semi-cold weather.. Ex: 40 F. This issue obviously needs recalled, but I don't think Saturn understands the meaning of "Customer Service" and "Keeping their customers happy"
General comments?
Ugly interior!
