Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 3005 saturn ion coupe 3 5/31/05 with in the past 7 months,the car has been back to the dealership 5 times. the day after i picked up the vehicle, i noticed a thumping noise in the back. after bringing back to the dealership, i was told that the rear rotors needed to be replaced. this did not fix the noise. my second trip the dealership indicated that i needed new rear brake drums. because they were warped (future conversations with the sales manager indicated that this was completely normal, that if the car sits for a few weeks without being driven, the drums will warp, which leads me to think that saturn should re think the quality of parts they use.) since that time, i have brought the car in for a defective radio (which was replaced) a drivers window that wouldn't go down (motor replaced) and the cruise control not working (after 2 times, it was replaced). i finally was able to speak with the area manager last week after i called saturn customer service to log a complaint for the second time. he offered me free basic maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations) for 2 years. this was the first time that anyone at saturn had offered to do anything for my time/inconvenience. very poor customer service/satisfaction. *nm
