Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 2004 saturn ion in april, 2004. in june, 2004 my right turn signal stopped working, causing my running light on that side not to work either.*ak in july, 2004 when opening up the hood to refill windshield wiper fluid, the hood latch inside the car came off in my hand. on dec 22, 2004, the brakes on my 2004 saturn ion failed to work cause me to go through a stop sign, which resulted in a accident with another car. both cars were only moving about 15 - 20 mph, but on impact the whole right (passenger side) side bumper broke up and was on the ground. leaving a big gapping hole on the right passenger side of the car. no recalls have been placed on defective brakes, as of this date. in february, 2005, when coming out to start car after work, the car would not start, the key locked in the ignition, the hood and the trunk locked and couldn't get them open to get a jump from the tow truck. i had to have the car towed back to the saturn dealership. battery was replaced. the same day i picked the car up from the dealership, went into a store when i came out the car would not start again. this time the key didn't lock in ignition so i was able to get a jump. this has happened on about 4 different occasion, with the dealership not able to give me any solution to the problem.
