1995 SATURN SC Complaints

EGR VALVE CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING AND OFTEN WHEN I WAS TURNING AND CROSSING OVER TRAFFIC. THE COMPUTER NEVER STORED ANY CODES AND IT WAS SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. I CONTACTED SATURN BECAUSE THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 3 YEARS OLD BUT UNDER 36,000 MILES, BUT THEY REFUSED TO HONOR IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY CLAIMED THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS NO GUARANTEE OF SERVICE. I ALSO EXPERIENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME MY CAR BECOMING "STUCK" AT A SPEED AND THE RPM SURGING. AFTER THE EGR VALVED WAS REPLACED 8/13/1998, I DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR LATER. I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GOT OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE RPM'S SURGE HIGH. NO SERVICE CODES ARE STORED. I HAVE BEEN TO A GOODYEAR GARAGE FOR AN OVERALL AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TO 2 TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE BEEN TO THE ENGINE SHOP THAT REPLACED MY EGR VALVE. THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. AS LONG AS THE COMPUTER WON'T STORE CODES THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW MY VEHICLE IS ALSO STICKING AT AROUND 35-40 MPH, BUT IT WON'T SLOW DOWN WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS THE RPM ONCE AGAIN SURGES HIGH PAST 4. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IS TO HIT THE BRAKES. I CONTACTED SATURN BUT THEY SAID THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO IF IT DOESN'T STORE A CODE. THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE ALWAYS HAD WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STORING CODES. IT WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO ME. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF TIME AND EXPENSE WITH BOTH THE EGR VALVE AND NOW THIS PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE NEAREST SATURN DEALER IS 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES FROM ME. ANY GARAGE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM IF THE COMPUTER HAD EVER WORKED CORRECTLY. SATURN SAID THEY WOULD JUST BE GUESSING WITH NO CODES.*AK
