Two problems related to engine have been reported for the 2005 Saturn ION. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The key sticks in the ignition whenever I try to turn the car off. It takes awhile before I am able to get it out, causing the battery to drain. I have had to replace my battery already. This is a major issue that after doing some research a very common issue for Ion owners. With it being so common I don't understand why a recall has not been done. I could have been stranded somewhere because of this.
