#707142June 2, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO BUY A NEW MOTOR MOUNT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR MOUNT DESIGN WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT THEY HAD REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER DESIGN WHICH WOULD ENTAIL A DIFFERENT SET-UP. TO REPLACE THIS PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. ABOUT $150.00 FOR THE PART NOT INSTALLED. THE AVERAGE PRICE OF MOST MOUNTS IS LESS THAN $50.00. I THINK SINCE IT WAS SATURN'S BAD DESIGN, THE CUSTORMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS OR FAX # SINCE I TRAVEL FOR MY COMPANY AND AM NOT AT HOME ON A REGULAR TIME BASIS. THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER ENGLE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I TOOK MY SATURN IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENENCE AND REQUESTED THEY CHECK MY BRAKES. UPON INSPECTION THEY FOUND BOTH FRONT ROTORS WITH MANY CRACKS. THE BEARINGS NOR SPINDLE WERE REPLACED, AND BRAKES WERE FINE. I SUSPECT MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THEY SAID POSSIBLY I COULD HAVE BEEN ON LONG TRIP WHICH WOULD HEAT UP ROTORS AND DRIVEN THRU PUDDLE OF WATER WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSE STEEL ROTORS TO CRACK. LUCKILY I CAUGHT THIS IN TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. *AK

#706889May 26, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY '93 SATURN WOULD PUSH INTO THE REVERSE GEAR WHEN EVER THE CAR WAS WARM. I WAS TOLD BY A GMC AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. AFTER GETTING A SECOND OPINION I DISCOVED THAT MANY OWNERS OF '93 SATURNS HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER INVESTAGATION ON MY PART I LEARNED THAT SATURN MADE A REPAIR KIT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH COST ME $150 FOR THE KIT AND ANOTHER $150 FOR LABOR COSTS. IT WAS STATED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SATURN SENT TO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS THAT MAJOR DAMAGE COULD BE DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION IF THIS REPAIR WAS NOT FIXED. HOWEVER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF NOTICE FROM SATURN STATING THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT SATURN IS PUTTING THEIR CONSUMERS IN DANGER WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN A SPECIFIC CAR MODEL/YEAR AND THEY DO NOT BOTHER TO NOTIFY THE CONSUMER. *AK
