| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drive a '03 saturn ion and have been having problems for the past year where the car wouldn't start, mostly on cold mornings, and would leave me stuck in different areas of town. most of the time if i waited a couple minutes it would start up with no problem. this past sunday my wife was driving and pulled into the driveway and she couldn't get the car to turn off or turn the key. so now i'm driving around with my key in my ignition and my steering column off so it looks like i stole my car, the only way i can start and stop the car is by plugging and unplugging the ignition switch. i did some research and from what i've read there have been many others that have had the exact same problem and it has ended up costing them hundreds of dollars for an obvious manufacturer defect. i just paid $200 for the ignition cylinder along with the housing unit and i come to realize that i shouldn't have to pay for this at all. *jb |
