MY CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START, IT GETS A PICTURE OF THE CAR WITH A PADLOCK ON THE DASH BUT WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. IT DOES AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK AND TODAY IT DID IT FOUR TIMES ALONE. IT WILL START IN EXACTLY 10 MINUTES FROM THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO START IT. SO IN THE MEAN TIME MY CHILDREN AND I SIT THERE IN THE COLD AND WAIT. OR MY ASTHMATIC CHILDREN HOPEFULLY DO NOT STOP BREATHING. I HAVE CALLED SATURN NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS ITS THE IGNITION HOUSING WE CAN FIX IT FOR OVER 300 DOLLARS BUT IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN IN THREE MONTHS, WHICH THEY SAY WILL BE THE PATTERN FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. *TR

STEERING
2007 SATURN ION, BOUGHT USED 2 MONTHS AGO. 47K MILES. POWER STEERING FAILED MANY TIMES WHILE PARKING CAR, ESPECIALLY PARALLEL PARKING. LAST WEEK, AN AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDED, AND THE MESSAGE READ "POWER STEER"OR "PWRSTEER", CANT REMEMBER WHICH, AND ALARMED (DINGED) ALL THE WAY HOME. HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING ON WINDING ROAD. MANUAL STATES TO HAVE REPAIR FACILITY CHECK AUTO. STEERING FLUID WAS FULL. NEXT TIME WE STARTED THE CAR TO DRIVE IT TO REPAIR FACILITY, ALARM DIDN'T SOUND AND STEERING SEEMED FINE. ION WAS CHECKED FOR "CODES" AND NONE WERE FOUND ON CODE READER,AND TECH WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHEN TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. NO ALARM OR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AGAIN, YET. *TR
