Driving around 10 mph, car died. Took it to the shop and they said it was the ignition switch. Looked on gm website and there is a recall for this same problem, however not for the Relay. I believe there should be a recall for all Saturns! I am very lucky I was not driving on the freeway when this incident occurred.
