I have a 2007 Saturn Ion car. I bought it new. Yesterday 6/25/10 while I was driving I saw a message on the bash board. "trac off' within minutes all the lights on the dash board began to flash, messages were showing up on the dash board. I didn't know what to do. I pulled over on the side of the road and call my mechanic. I drove the car slowly to the shop and barely got there before all of the lights went dead and the car stopped working.

The ignition key does not come out easily after the car engine is turned off. Last year, one day, the key would not turn at all and the engine kept running for about 4 hours before Saturn dealer came to shut off the engine. The dealer replaced the ignition key cylinder. But the problem persists. It is so often now that I am not driving my Saturn. I fear the key will, one day, get stuck and not come out at all. GMC have been informed.

Once car was on couldn't turn key back to stop vehicle and couldn't remove key. Had to pull ignition fuse under hood and disconnect battery in trunk every time we wanted to start or stop the vehicle. Finally got a new ignition built and that solved the problem but of course warranty was up and this came out of our pockets.
