VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER TO START, ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS WORK( RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC.) UPON INSPECTION OF VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN! THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED IS TO JUMP IT. A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED AGAIN, SO I AM WRITING THIS TO GET IT FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I LOVE MY SATURN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW CAN I TAKE IT IMMEDIATELY TO A GM DEALER.

THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM FOR A MALFUNCTION THAT WAS REPAIRED BY A DEALER UNDER RECALL # 13036. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY ARE ON (LIT) WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF (DARK). THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR DESPITE A PREVIOUS RECALL REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM SATURN IN MARCH, 2016. AS OF TODAY (10/28/16) THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL IS STILL: INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THIS WITH MY LOCAL GM DEALER. HOW LONG AM I EXPECTED TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION WHILE MY WIFE AND I DRIVE AROUND IN A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP?
