2004 Saturn ION 2 review from North America
"The honeymoon is over!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting problems.
Seats stain easily.
General comments?
Drive this car a lot and never had problems. Got me from A to B in relative comfort and with good mileage. Intermittent starting problems for the last few weeks. Absolutely no rhyme or reason, no indicator lights or warning messages displayed. Car will start after 15-20 minutes of trying. Today, took to mechanic... of course it started... he thinks the alternator is overcharging the battery. At 41K miles I need a new alternator and battery?!? He has the car overnight and hopefully can replicate. Glad I purchased the extended warranty... I hope!
