Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We own a 2004 saturn ion. every time the temperature drops into the below 30 f, the vehicle will not start, even though the battery is good. saturn has issued a technical service bulletin on this problem because it is so widespread and pervasive of a problem. this is a recall situation due to defective engineering on the part of saturn/gm, and the owners should not have to bear the financial burden because of defective engineering on the part of saturn/gm. in addition, putting a small electric heater in the compartment of the car to keep the car warm, so the car will start when it is cold, presents a dangerous situation (fire, property damage, etc) owners of affected saturn's should not have to endure. *nm
