Question by brandiwine72: 2007 Saturn Ion engine misfires?
I am a loyal Saturn owner, however I’ve had some issues with my 2007 Saturn Ion. My car just turn one year old and it’s spent 8 weeks at the dealership getting repairs. I’m one away from implying the Lemon Law. The problem is engine misfires. They’ve replaced the whole top half of my engine and it still misfires. I often sit at my destination waiting for the check engine light to come on before I turn it off. One of the Saturn employees told me that all the Ion’s misfire at an Idle. He told me that he has 2 Ion’s and they both do it. Does this make it ok? Engine misfires cause problems with your catilack converter, that’s an exspensive repair down the line. Any one who’s from Ca knows that a bad cat. converter doesn’t pass smog. Am I being petty, or should I bitch? Does anyone else have engine misfires in their Saturn? Please let me know!

An employee of the dealership telling you that all Ions misfire at an idle is VERY unprofessional conduct, and he should be fired from that dealership. Vehicles are NOT engineered to misfire, they are built to run fine under normal conditions. Take it back, tell them they either fix it right this time, or they can call you when your new car is ready for you.
