Saturn LS owners have reported 3 problems related to ignition coils failure (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I am the second owner of this vehicle. There have been numerous recall issues associated with this vehicle, most of these issues are safety related. This auto is my sole means of transport. I have a 2 month old grandson who lives with me, and I have no clue if any of these recall issues have been rectified, aside from the "brake lamps adapter" which has not been fixed. I have no brake lights except for the roofline anti-collision lamps. Repeated attempts to get a hard copy of recall items as being fixed, have been met with no response. I spoke to a gm rep, who told me the issues were over 10 years and to file a suit in small claims court. I have no money to do the work ordered by the fed, via NHTSA. The taillamps are damaged beyond repair (as the insert was not installed in this vehicle) the airbags, have either two times the "generant" or no generant at all. I replaced the original ignition coil, out of pocket $165. 00. I do not understand how gm can be allowed to skirt/ignore recall issues, and this ongoing bs, is taking away time that could be better spent. God help someone at gm, if I am involved in an accident and my grandson is in any way hurt, as a result of gm's "[xxx]" attitude. I am a disabled vietnam veteran (usarmy 101st abn dvn) and my patience is fast waning! I write to you in hopes of getting these issues resolved, or am I wasting my time, as I'm beginning to believe. A written response would be of some comfort, as I'll know that someone bothered to read my running diatribe. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). Updated 9/25/2014.

When attempting to start vehicle would not start. The consumer would have to wait 10 minutes before the vehicle would start. The consumer took the vehicle to dealership for inspection, however, the mechanic could not duplicate the problem. The modules in the engine and the remotes were changed but the problems continued to get worse. There was an extended crank at times which was intermittent, the security and wrench light would come on, the body control module caused the intermittent start, the pass lock was replaced due to the sensor(s), the bcm was replaced, the driver's side door would lock due to broken latch, and the ignition coil burned out.
