EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE SATURN LS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED WHEN IT COME TO TAIL LIGHT, REVERSE, AND BLINKER LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD SO MANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THESE LIGHTS, AND NOT TO MENTION COSTLY WORK. THERE IS NO WIRING FROM THE LIGHT TO THE VEHICLE THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE THE BULB. MY REVERSE LIGHTS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING, AND SO I DID WHAT MOST CAR OWNERS WOULD DO, BUT SOMEHOW REPLACING A BULB DOES NOT WORK WITH THESE VEHICLES. AS A BUYER WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN SIMPLE LABOR. FOR INSTANCE, CHANGING A TAIL LIGHT! THESE LIGHT COMPONENTS NEED TO BE REVIEWED, FOR THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY CAR OWNER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
SATURN 2001 L-200 2.2L I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND I LOST POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I RECKLESSLY VEERED OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET WHERE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD ONLY TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT JUST BY TURNING IT OVER, AND SEEING THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT TURNING, SINCE IT WAS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE CAM SHAFT, THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE. HE ALSO SAID HE SEES IT ALL THE TIME ON THIS YEAR MODEL. ALONG WITH THE BROKE TIMING CHAIN, THEY SAID THAT THE HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE AS WELL BECAUSE THE INWARDS OF THE ENGINE HAVE COLLIDED AND CAUSED EVEN MORE DAMAGE. THIS CAR WAS MAINTAINED TO THE T. EVERY OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AT SATURN ON TIME AND ALL SERVICE WAS DONE THERE. THEY QUOTE ME 3500 DOLLARS TO PUT IN A 90K MILE USED ENGINE. MINE HAD 150K AND RAN LIKE A CHAMP BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. WE THEN GOT ANOTHER QUOTE FROM A LOCAL GARAGE TO PUT IN A 60K MILE CAR FOR 1600 DOLLARS. WE WILL PROBABLY DO THAT. THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE HEAD AND CHAIN WILL COST ABOUT THE SAME AND YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE INTERNALS WILL BE INTACT AFTER THE TIMING CHAIN GOES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER 2 TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENTS IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS,THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AGAIN ON MY SATURN 2001 L200 DAMAGING THE TOP HALF OF THE ENGINE. TOWED IT TO SATURN OF TOMS RIVER N.J. THEY SAID THAT SINCE I HAVE ALREADY HAD 1 CHAIN REPLACED ON THE RECALL THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD WHEN THE CHAIN WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL (AT SATURN OF FREEHOLD WHICH IS OUT OF BUSINESS)THAT THIS WAS NOT THE SAME CHAIN BUT A NEW AND IMPROVED DESIGN. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT MY REPAIR WAS NOT REALLY WORTH FIXING BUT IF I'D LIKE THEY COULD INSTALL A USED ENGINE FOR $4300. THIS IS JUST PLAIN NEGLECT FROM A DYING COMPANY. WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE A CHAIN THAT'S JUST GOING TO GO AGAIN AND WORSEN THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE EVEN MORE. SATURN/GM NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD FOR THEIR POOR HISTORY IF THEY'RE EVER GOING TO RIGHT THE SHIP. I REALLY FEEL RIPPED OFF. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN AN 2001 SATURN L-33, WITH 38,280 MILES. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE SERVICE LIGHT (NOT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT HARSHLY. ON 04-30- 2009, I HAD STARTED THE CAR, WHICH HAD NO BEEN USED THAT DAY, I WAS SITTING SOMEWHAT SIDEWAYS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT TALKING TO MY FATHER, WHEN THE AUTO WHEN THE AUTO WENT INTO REVERSE BY ITSELF, AND DRAGGED ME ACROSS THE STREET, HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I GOT UP AND INTO THE AUTO, AND NOTICED THE SHIFT LEVER WAS STILL IN "PARK". I FOUND A WEBSIGHT "THE SATURN FORUM" WHEREIN OTHER SATURN L-300 OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT COMING ON ETC. AS FAR AS I KNOW, SATURN HAS NOT SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN, OR RE-CALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE DUE TO "PINCHED" WIRING GOING TO THE "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. I AM HESITANT IN TAKING THE AUTO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AS I WAS INJURED, AND I MIGHT RE-TAIN LEGAL COUNCIL IN THIS MATTER. I THINK SATURN SHOULD BE NOTIFYING PEOPLE OF THE POSSIBLE HAZARD INVOLVED IN THIS AUTO. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE CALLED A ROADSIDE SERVICE TO GIVE HIM A JUMP WITH NO LUCK. THE SERVICE TECH INFORMED HIM IT WAS PROBABLY THE TIMING CHAIN. IT WAS AFTER HOURS SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE. WE WERE UNABLE TO FIND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IF THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING MOST LIKELY THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS DAMAGED. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED REPLACE ALONG WITH SOME OTHER REPAIRS. THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS MODELS. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $2527.84. WE HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS AS OF YET. I HAVE RESEARCHED ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND ALL ARE SIMILAR AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON AUGUST 18, 2005 AT 72,863 MILES, I PAID $2360.71 TO HAVE MY TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. NOT REPAIRED BUT REPLACED DUE TO ITS MALFUNCTION. THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AS DICTATED BY SATURN'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND VIA SATURN OF ROSWELL PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT FROM EACH SERVICE APPOINTMENT SINCE I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING THIS MAJOR WENT WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AT SUCH AN EARLY POINT IN TIME. THE CAR SIMPLY QUIT RUNNING. THE ENGINE DIED AND I COULD GET NO RESPONSE FROM BRAKE PRESSURE OR STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT CAUSING HARM OR INJURY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO SATURN OF ROSWELL WHERE THEY TOOK 10 DAYS TO FIND THE ISSUE AND WHEN IT WAS FOUND THEY DECLINED ANY WARRANTY COVERAGE OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR THOUGH I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM AND HAD MAINTAINED THE CAR WITH THEM. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT MY TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT AT 1:00 AM ON GA-400 WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. AT THE AVERAGE SPEED OF 70 MPH HAD THIS OCCURRED AT 1:00 PM OR ANY OTHER TIME WITH A GREATER LEVEL OF TRAFFIC I OR SOMEONE ELSE WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD. MY FEAR IS THAT SATURN IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE AND ONLY THEN WILL THERE BE A MASS RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES NOT JUST A RELATIVELY ISOLATED FEW. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AT RANDOM TIMES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER PURCHASED THE 2002 MODEL IN 2003. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NORMAL / NOT MAJOR AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. IT IS ANNOYING AND STARTLING TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I GET AN ADRENALINE RUSH AND AUTOMATICALLY FEAR THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THAT THE CAR MIGHT SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I ALSO WORRY THAT OTHER DRIVERS MAY INTERPRET IT AS SOME SORT OF SIGNAL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2002 L200 HAS 92,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON A CROWDED 5 LANE INTERSTATE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THERE WERE NO STRANGE NOISES OR SMELLS INVOLVED, NOR WAS THERE ANY SMOKE. THE RPM METER WENT DOWN TO ZERO. THANKFULLY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WORKED FINE AND SO DID THE BRAKES. I PUT ON MY HAZARD BLINKER AND WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO COAST MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE HIT ME. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND THAT IT HAD POSSIBLY ALSO DAMAGED THE VALVES, SO I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $3500. THAT IS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE VALUE OF THE CAR, SO I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME DECIDING WHETHER TO DO THE REPAIR OR SELL THE CAR AS IS. THE JUNKYARD OFFERED ME $150 + FREE TOW. I KEPT HEARING FROM DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT IT IS VERY RARE FOR A TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK. I DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T EVEN KEEP THE ENGINE FOR THIS MODEL IN STOCK BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN BREAK HAPPENS SO OFTEN. THEN I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2001, BUT NOT 2002, EVEN THOUGH THE 2002 HAS THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT. AT A MINIMUM, I FEEL THAT SATURN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS A CONCERN FOR MY MODEL OF CAR, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T DO A RECALL. FLYING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IS THE WORST TIME TO FIND OUT ABOUT SUCH A DEFECT. HAD I KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE. PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO AVOID ANY FUTURE DISASTERS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2000 SATURN LS1 IS FAILING WHICH COULD RESULT IN ENGINE BEING DAMAGED AND FULL POWER LOSS, WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY SATURN HAS THE SAME EXACT TIMING CHAIN AS THE 2001 SATURN LS1 WHICH WAS RECALLED AFTER YOUR AGENCY DEEMED IT SUSCEPTIBLE TO FAILURE DUE TO POOR DESIGN. SATURN REFUSES TO FIX THIS FOR ME AND INSTEAD WANTS TO BILL $400 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. REPAIRING THE FAILING CHAIN, THE DEALER SAID, WOULD COST $900. IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED BY SATURN, AS PER YOUR AGENCY'S INVESTIGATION LAST YEAR.*TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2002 L200 SATURN WHICH HAS 97,000 MILES. THREE DAYS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO AN EMPTY PARKING METER SPACE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A MERE FIVE MINUTES BEFORE, WHEN I WAS ON A TRAFFIC-PACKED INTERSTATE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE. MY SATURN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS. THEY STATED IT WOULD COST ME $2,800 TO FIX THE DAMAGE. THIS MAKES ME EXTREMELY UPSET AS I BOUGHT THIS SATURN BRAND NEW FROM A SATURN DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE PERFORMED ALL THE SATURN REQUIRED MAINTENANCE IN A TIMELY FASHION FROM THE SAME SATURN DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THAT SATURN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PERFORMED SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS REPORTING TIMING CHAIN OR TIMING BELT PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SATURNS. I KNOW ONE RECALL (FOR THE 2001 YEAR I BELIEVE) IS ALREADY IN PLACE. PLEASE START A RECALL FOR THE OTHER YEARS AS WELL. SATURN NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THESE TIMING CHAIN/BELT PROBLEMS. *TR

ARE YOU GUYS EVEN HEARING US??? WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. I WAS GOING TO FIX MY PROBLEM AND THAT WAS IT.....BUT MY PROBLEM ENDED UP BIGGER THAT I THOUGHT AND WAS COSTLY!!!!! I READ ALMOST ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ARE SAYING ONE THING,,, TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK!!!!! ASK A SATURN MECHANIC WHEN ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CHANGED A TIMING CHAIN? IT'S NEVER!!!! ASK,,PLEASE!!!! ANOTHER THING IS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IN THE 2001 WAS RECALLED,, RIGHT??? LISTEN CLOSELY,,,, THAT SAME CHAIN WAS ALSO USED IN THE 2002!!!!!! BUT WASN'T RECALLED???? WHY?? HOW MANY MORE STORIES DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.... GOTO ODI 10265182, 10255749, 1025270, 10234562, 10209272, 10186650 READ THEM, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHAIN OILER.... IT WOULDN'T LET ENOUGH OIL PASS THROUGH TO LUBRICATE THE TIMING CHAIN... AKA BRASS INSERT.... YOU WOULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE YOU TOOK IT TO A SATURN SHOP OR YOUR OWN. MY UNCLE FIND MINE, ONLY BECAUSE AFTER READING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE 2002 L200 2.2 SEDAN AND YES THAT BRASS INSERT IN THE CHAIN OILER WAS IN MINE AND I CAN PROVE IT..... SO I BELIEVE ALL YOU HAD THE SAME THING........I DO KNOW WE ALL HAD THE SAME CHAIN, WHICH HAD A WEAK LINK IN IT...... IT WAS RECALLED??? BUT NOT THE 2002??? *TR
