Saturn ion 3 ...
and when I purchased it in early 07 and went to Saturn forums on the internet.... the ignition/key problem was already known by folks on there.. and they had stated theyd contacted Saturn several times about it.. multiple people.
they did nothing.

heck, when I took mine in to be 'repaired' after mine got stuck in the ON position (couldn't turn the car off)...
they told me flat out 'we have to replace this with another defective part because they haven't made a new one yet'.. again.. that was 08... and at a damn GM dealership.
I ended up having to fix the problem two separate times for a total of around 700-800 bucks.. and was paying for another waiting to break part! lol

now all of a sudden I have every symptom of every recall they've issued.. had the power steering cut off (which they don't even have a fix for yet but acknowledge) the other day while going around 40 down a curvy hill.. that was awesome..
not to mention something in the car is now draining my battery at the rate of a full charge in 48 hours without even using the car at all...

yay!

so glad I worked hard to give GM 17 grand
