Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Frequent inability to start vehicle due to ignition cylinder wear. saturn claims security system is activated due to internal ignition switch not being able to "read" chip in saturn vehicle key. failure of such process results in operator of vehicle having to wait until security system "resets" (10-15 mins.) saturn will not honor the fact that this may be a design flaw, and holds owner responsible for $200 repair. this owner is just glad the steering wheel hasn't fallen off the dashboard yet. good car ! *jb |
