Ignition switch will not start the car. It is in the off position. I am having a new switch installed. I do not understand why this car part is not on the recall list. All other 2003 Saturn are being recalled.

problem #1

L300 4-cyl

  • 69,346 miles
Steering column clunking. Had intermediate shaft repaired when I purchased the car in 12/2007 which I included the lubrication of the intermediate shaft and replacing the sway bar links. In 3/2008, problem of clunking noise resurfaced. Steering gear was failing and leaking and repairs were made. In 12/2008, clunking noise resurfaced. Find tie rod was loose and that the strut mounts needed to be replaced. Clunking noise has resurfaced in late 2009, early 2010. Saturn is investigating repair needs based on previous work performed.
