2003 Saturn ION quad coupe 2 review from North America

"It's a pretty cool car I hope it last till 100,000 miles like they say"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ignition switch recalled in 04' then replaced in 07'

Visor broke.

General comments?

I recently got stranded at work because my car would not start. I immediately thought it was the battery. But a few minutes later I tried to start it and it worked. I was puzzled, but I noticed the way I put the key in the ignition helped the car start. The car made it home and worked fine for one day with three additional starts. The following day same thing, the car would not start. I tried a couple times and nothing. Finally the service engine light came on. I called Saturn they said they were experiencing people complaining about it not working in cold weather. The ignition switch does not work in cold weather. I had already had the switched replaced within the first year because it was recalled and unsafe. I am a little uneasy that I may get stranded somewhere for the third time because of cold weather or this part breaking again. I like my Saturn its held up well. I think this is poor engineering the same piece breaking again. Is this car a lemon? Will I have to replace the ignitions switch every two or three years? Seems like a lot for a car.
