SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL), VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A CAR, RECOMMENDED BY CONSUMER REPORTS, CAN HAVE SO MANY SERIOUS FAILURES! THANK GOD I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY. I LIVE ON A SMALL DISABILITY INCOME AND CANNNOT AFFORD EVEN THE CONSTANT $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. CURRENTLY THE SUNROOF IS BROKEN AGAIN, THE PASSANGER WINDOW DOESN'T ALWAYS GO DOWN, THE GEAR INDICATOR FOR MY TRANSMISSION IS STUCK SOMEWHERE BETWEEN PARK AND REVERSE. I THOUGHT I PURCHASED A RELIABLE CAR. I HAVE HAD LESS PROBLEMS WITH CARS I PURCHASED THAT WERE 5 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. THIS ONE IS NOT 5 YET!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED FROM MY DORMATORY IN PROVIDENCE, RI, TO MA., TO THE SATURN DEALER, WHERE THEY OVER CHARGED ME FOR AN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. A MONTH LATER, MY BROTHER WHO GOES TO SCHOOL IN VA, HAD TO GET AN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FOR HIS 94 SATURN, AND THEY CHARGED HIM 200$ LESS. MY FATHER HOUNDED SATURN CORPORATION AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATORS, SO TODAY I HAD TO GO TO THE SATURN DEALER TO PICK UP A PART, AND 3 PEOPLE INFRONT OF ME HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, EVERYONE I AM SPEAKING TO IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR A VEHICLE RECALL AND DEALER REFUSED REPAIRS DUE TO VIN # FOR VEHICLE. DEALER MAINTAINES THAT THE SEAT IS NOT DEFECTIVE ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR, BUT THEY WILL REPAIR IT FOR A FEE. AS A RESULT FROM THIS DEFECT, OUR DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE VEHICLE LAST NIGHT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT IT DID MESS UP THE RIGHT WHEEL OF THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER.
