VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED THE WINDOW, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT 2 WINDOWS QUIT WORKING WITHIN ONE MONTH OF EACH OTHER. THE MOTOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WENT OUT. THE MOTOR FOR THE SUNROOF STILL WORKS, BUT THE CABLES BROKE AND NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME CLOSE TO $600.00 TO FIX IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE CABLES WOULD COME APART LIKE THAT, I FEE THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME WITH THIS! AS THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT MY POINT IS THAT I DON'T USE THE SUNROOF ENOUGH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! *AK

POWER TRAIN
I AM STILL CONTENT WITH MY 1993 SATURN BUT DISAPPOINTED THAT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER FAILED IN OCTOBER, 1999. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO MAINTAINING THE LOW MILEAGE ON MY CARE, BUT WHEN THE ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FROZE AT 30,555 MILES, ALL CREDIBILITY AND REMAINING MARKET VALUE DECEASED BECAUSE MY MILEAGE IS STUCK. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A "CLUSTER" AT THE COST OF $525.15. AN ODOMETER SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 30,555 MILES, BUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 1998. *AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
NONE OF THE ABOVE QUESTIONNAIRE APPLIED TO MY COMPLAINT ON THE SC2. MY MAIN SAFETY CHILD ISSUE WITH THE 3RD DOOR IS THAT IT IS A TRAP WHEN SOMEONE ELSE PARKS NEXT TO YOU AND YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR! I SPECIFICALLY TOOK MY CHILD TO PURCHASE THE SL2 AND HAD IT DEMOED IN AN OPEN AREA VS A CONFINED AREA WHICH DID NOT MAKE MY PROBLEM ARISE TILL I HAD THE CAR IN A TRAPPED CONFINED AREA AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND 3RD DOOR TO GET OUT!*AK
