Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2004 saturn ion from the dealer in 2004. in the cold weather, 30 degrees and lower, if the car sits it will not start. this has happened to me 4 times, last week i got stranded at work at 2:00 am with a car that would not start. the engine turns over one time but does not start. i did a lot of research on this and it looks like ignition switch grease hardens and saturn knows about it and even changed the ignition switch assembly but for the thousands of us that own cars before this change are left out in the cold! *jb
