Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: i have a 5-speed manual 2003 saturn ion . every time it's cold outside, the car refuses to start. this has happened repeated last winter, and has a couple times this fall, also. now, that the temperature is staying low, i'm concerned about the time and effort required to make the car start. the radio and lights work fine, indicating there is power getting to this equipment. however, when trying to turn the car over to start, a message pops up saying "service engine." nothing happens after that. one can almost predict when it will happen. if the temperature gets below freezing, one must be prepared to sit at home until the temperature rises, and allows for the car to start. *jb
