Key fit in ignition but would not turn, tried turning steering wheel back and forth in locked position while turning key but to no avail. After approximately 5-10 minutes key would finally turn and allow me to start vehicle but the same thing happened the next time I tried to start the car.

What 2000 Saturn S-Series Sedan owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Car will turn over and immediately stall. This will continue for approx. 10 to 15 min.each time you turn the key,it will turn over and immediately stall. As if there is no gas going to the fuel injectors; or the fuel injectors stop . No mechanic can seem to find the problem since it never happens when I'm at the repair shop. Like I said when this problem happens, it will last for approx. 10 to 15 min. Then the car will start as if nothing ever happened.
When driving car and raining with windshield wipers on the 3rd level of delay they function normally, but when you switch to "low" on the windshield wipers, windshield wipers still stay on delay 75% of the time, and work properly the other 25%. Use of the turn signal also seems to affect them switching back to delay on their own, which is very dangerous when it's raining and I'm trying to change lanes to go around someone and can't see. This problem has been getting continually worse and worse. When taken to the dealership, I was told that the technician could not duplicate the problem.
