| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2005 saturn ion with 32 miles on it july 11, 2005. on september 22, 2005 while driving my daughter to school in the rain, the car stalled and began to fill with water from the floor up. i had it towed to the dealer for repair and was told the left fron sunroof drain hose was plugged. they said this caused an electrical problem which caused the stall. the service dept. said they cleaned the drain hose and all was ok. well, we had a heavy rain, not the first since 11/2005, on august 18, 2007. i was able to start the car, but it stalled right away. in addition, the floor on the driver's side was wet. this occurred on a saturday and by monday when the car was towed to the saturn dealership, there was a "pond" of water on the floor of the car. in addition, the cd player has been replaced because it ate cd's. the new radio worked ok for about 6 month's, but is now unable to pick up reception to any station. also, at one time, the driver's side door became jammed and could not be opened from the inside or outside. the lock rod and inside door handle were bent. at the same time water was leaking through the driver's side window and the window was off the track and falling into the door. this was also repaired by the dealer because i purchased the extended warranty. this car has been nothing but trouble and i regret purchasing it. i have never had so many problems with a new car and i would not recommend this car to anyone. *tr |
