SATURN Complaints

WHEN I WAS ENTERING MOVING TRAFFIC FROM A COMPLETELY STOPPED POSITION, A CAR WAS COMING FASTER THAN I REALIZED SO I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: 1.ALL POWER TO MY CAR SHUT OFF AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD SLOWING DOWN. 2.ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND SYMBOLS LIT UP. 3.MY CAR JOLTED STRONGLY ONCE, SPUTTERED (MANY TIMES), AND HICCUPPED (MANY TIMES). THE JOLT WAS SO STRONG THAT IT THREW ME FORWARD AND MADE MY SEATBELT CATCH ME. 4.AT THE SAME TIME AS # 3, THE GPS REBOOTED ITSELF 3 TIMES IN A ROW AND ALL OF THE CAR DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED THEMSELVES 3 TIMES IN A ROW. 5.I GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BUT THE CAR FELT WEAK AND I FELT UNCERTAIN. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I TRIED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY SO I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS AND SLOWLY DROVE HOME.

WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, TYPICALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE STEERING NEARLY FREEZES UP MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP - CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS, AND I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER - SAYS IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS TYPE OF THING SO I WOULD BE WASTING MY TIME TO BRING IT IN. THE CAR IS ONLY AT 90,000 MILES AND I'M AFRAID THIS ISSUE MAY RESULT IN A CRASH AND OR INJURY TO MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. THERE IS NO LEAKING FROM ANY AREAS INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION.

THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN JUST BLOW HOT AIR IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOUR TIMES BY SERVICE TECHS. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO A SATURN OWNER THAT SAID THEIRS WORKED GOOD I THINK GM SHOULD RECALL ALL OR THE 2009 MODELS A TRY TO FIX THEM

RE THE 2013 FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. PARTS CRACKED AND FUEL LEAKED. GM RECALLED AND PROMISED TO REPLACE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE BEGAN LEADING IN MAY OF 2016. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE IT HAS SAT FOR ONE MONTH. DEALER UNABLE TO GET FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY PART 15918244 FROM GM AND GM MAKING NO PROMISES ABOUT FIXING IT OR GETTING THE PART. THEY HAVE SAID THE PROBLEM MAY OR MAY NOT EVER BE RESOLVED. THEY CLAIM THE SUPPLIER MAY BE ABLE TO SUPPLY BY MID-AUGUST. THEN THEY UPDATED IT TO MAYBE IN SEPTEMBER. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO RENT A CAR WITH NO END IN SIGHT. CAN;T GET DEFINITIVE ANSWER FROM GM REGARDING IF OR WHEN PART WILL BE DELIVERED.

THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE LIGHT BULB IT IS NOT BURNT OUT. ALL THE FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED OVER BY QUALIFIED SALESPERSON WHO HAD SHOWN ME THAT MY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS STILL WORKING, AND YET MY BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING AT NIGHT, AND WORRY CONSTANTLY THAT I WILL BE STOPPED DURING THE DAY, AS I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS ONE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. I READ SOMEWHERE ON A SATURN FORUM THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OVER THIS ISSUE, BUT I AM UNABLE TO LOCATE.

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING MAKING VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE

I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE AND SEEN THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS PART OF A RECALL. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS AND IT CAME FROM FLORIDA WHICH WAS ONE OF THE STATES IN THE RECALL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP, THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR. SAID IT WAS THE SAME ONE THAT WAS RECALLED ON CADILLAC CTS BUT WAS T RECALLED ON THE SATURN ! I ALSO CHECK WITH THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR CAME FROM AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING! I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT, SENT AN E-MAIL TO GM AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE! THANKS FOR ANY HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
