2003 Saturn ION review from North America
"Bucket of bolts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have been having the cold start problem starting with the first winter. When we took it in, they always said they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
In the winter of 2008 I bought a new battery, even though the repair place said my battery was still good. It didn't help -- still not start when cold. I've decided to sell the car, so took it in one more time for this problem and they said I needed a new ignition switch. GM refused to help pay for it. It cost $266.
The car is going in the classifieds this weekend, and I will never buy a GM car again (They just filed bankruptcy - no wonder!!)
