Electrical System · at 87,000 miles · reported Jul 1, 2004
Just all of a sudden one day my cars ignition would not turn on, I had to fight with it for about 10 minutes before it would start, have not replaced the part yet.
Electrical System · at 44,000 miles · reported May 16, 2003
Tried to insert the key into the ignition to start but the steering column was locked. Could not jiggle the steering wheel to unlock. Mechanic said the ignition cylinder was faulty, however when he tried to remove it to replace, it would not come out. Had to replace the entire assembly. First replacement assembly ordered from saturn was faulty so had to order another one. Saturn mechanics said they had seen "several" of the same type of problem. I'm keeping the original parts in case there is a recall. The car only has 44k miles on it.
