Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I live in minnesota. i purchased a new 2004 saturn ion coupe, with only 84 miles and drove off the show room floor. i had numerous problems with the car starting in cold weather. i took the car to a saturn dealership once it started , and they said it was the pass lock system in the car. the saturn has continued to do the same thing over the last couple winters. this past winter it was extremely bad. 2 out of 7 days the car wouldn't start right away ,but then i would try again in 20 minutes and it would start. i took the saturn remote controls off the key chain thinking it was the problem. but it wasn't . also, i had the battery tested and it was fine. there needs to be a recall on this vehicle. can someone please help. it seemed many were having the same complaints. this almost cost me a pay raise. too many absences at my job will eliminate me.*ak
