| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am writing to note that my 2003 saturn ion 3 does not start up in the cold, even though the battery and alternator are in good condition. it happened once in 2005, and then i was lucky enough for the rest of that winter and the next. at the time, i was told by a saturn mechanic in 2005 over the phone that this problem does occur with ions in cold weather. the problem recurred this past monday and this morning. this afternoon i went online to seek out guidance in taking care of the problem. i came across the following online resource: http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_97727.html. the issue is obviously a recurrent one that saturn has chosen not to address. this seems like a clear-cut case for a component recall, but saturn will not take responsibility. i ask that the nhtsa direct its resources toward saturn to seek a determination about the need for a recall for this defective vehicle.* *i have forwarded a copy of this explanation to my member of congress, representative jim moran. *tr |
