SATURN Complaints

MY PASSENGER PRESSANCE CONTROL MODULE CAME ON AFTER MY PASSENGER LEANED FORWARD IN MY CAR WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. IT NOW COMES ON EVERYTIME I START MY CAR WHETHER I HAVE A PASSENGER OR NOT.

MY CAR SMELL LIGHT GAS AND CUTS OFF INTERMITTENT. IT LOT RECALL ON THIS CARD. I THINK MY GAS FULE LEAK ON DEF PARTS ON IT. MY EMAILS [email protected]

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SATURN AURA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BY THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE RECURRED MONTHS LATER. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE FAILED TO WORK AND, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN IT WAS NOT APPLIED. THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL REMEDY DID NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ *CN

CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE STARTER OVER THE YEARS, REQUIRING COUNTLESS REPLACEMENTS BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT DATES. RECENTLY, A STARTER LASTED ONLY 6 MONTHS BEFORE FAILING. WHEN A MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE STARTER, HE SAID THAT THERE IS PROBABLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION CAUSING THE STARTER TO CONTINUOUSLY RUN WHILE THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS RESULTED IN THE STARTER COMPLETELY BURNING UP ON THE INSIDE. SMOKE WAS VISIBLE FROM THIS STARTER. THE KEY ALSO SLIPS OUT OF THE IGNITION IN ANY POSITION, INCLUDING WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON AND CAR IS MOVING. THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AFFECTING SATURN IGNITION SWITCHES AND IGNITION CYLINDERS, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2002 SATURNS EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME.

HAD A VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, TOOK IN TO HAVE CHECKED OUT . SPECIAL COVERAGE ON CRACKED FUEL TANK INLET CONTROL VALVE. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER TUBE, HOSE, SEAL, AND CAM. RETURNED CAR 3 DAYS LATER STILL SMELLING FUEL, AND SOUNDED LIKE THEY THREW PARTS ON AND DIDN'T ATTACH THEM. REPLACED FUEL MODULE. RETURNED CAR 1 WEEK LATER STILL SMELLS STRONG FUEL TO BE TOLD THAT FUEL PIPES ARE RUSTED THROUGH AND GAS IS STILL LEAKING FROM THAT. NOT COVERED. THEY NOW WANT $870.03 TO STOP THE REST OF THE FUEL LEAK. ONLY HAVE 61,000 MILES ON IT. HOW MUCH WILL BE PAID TO MY FAMILY WHEN I GET BLOWN UP IN MY CAR FROM THE LEAKING METAL PIPES? PLASTIC STUFF WAS ALL COVERED. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS COVERED BY SPECIAL COVERAGE. WHY ISN'T THIS IF THIS IS LEAKING FUEL ON THE GROUND TOO?

THE CAR CONSTANTLY JERKS AND SHAKES... IT WONT GO PAST PAST 40 MPH WITHOUT ...THE VEHICLE SHAKING . THE VEHICLE CANT GET ENOUGH POWER..BURNS GAS LIKE CRAZY. THE GM DEALERSHIP WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ....

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE CAR SWERVED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND, AND I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAK SLOWLY, TAKING THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THE 4 TIRES WERE MICHELIN DEFENDER 205/55R16 AND WERE BOUGHT AT COSTCO ON 01/2015. SUPPOSEDLY THEY HAVE 90,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS NOT OVERLOADED, I WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER AND THE WEATHER WAS COOL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 SATURN SATURN LS. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SMOKING, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.

IGNITION FAULTY, CAR WILL NOT START OR RELEASE KEY FROM IGNITION. HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DUE TO A CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS A SURE FIX, I PAID 700 TO REPLACE AND A DAY AFTER PICKING UP FROM MY MECHANIC IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. IT WAS HESITANT AT FIRST BUT THEN IT STARTED AGAIN AND GOT WORSE. THE RPM ACCELERATING BUT SPEEDOMETER SLOWING DOWN. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC, HE READ SOMETHING TO ME ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT OF CONVERTER, IT SAID TO DRIVE IT FOR 1 HOUR AT HIGH SPEEDS TO BURN OFF INSIDE THE NEW CONVERTER, RESET THE LIGHT WHICH SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN FOR 1 HOUR BECAUSE I LIVE AN HOUR AWAY. I HEAD HOME AND AS I'M GETTING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-75 SOMETHING CAME THROUGH MY VENTS AND IN MY THROAT AND CHEST AND I START COUGHING REALLY BAD AND TIGHTNESS IN CHEST. I GOT UP TO 55MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED JERKING AND I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP. IT WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 20-30MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WHILE STILL IN DRIVE THE TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE. CHECK ENGINE, ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. I CALLED MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED I ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS AND GET SOME AIR BECAUSE I WAS COUGHING SO BAD AND HAVE IT TOWED TO BE SAFE. CALLED ONSTAR AND NOW ABS CODES, TOLD TO TAKE IN FOR SERVICE WITHIN 7 DAYS, I ADVISED HER CANNOT DRIVE OVER 20MPH AND REQUESTED A TOW. A STATE TROOPER STOPPED TO ASSIST ME, SAID TO GET IN SAFER PLACE SO HE HELD TRAFFIC AND DROVE BEHIND ME TO GET OFF INTERSTATE WHILE I WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK. 7:32PM IN THE MIDST OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND 50 MILES FROM HOME. I WAS HORRIFIED! I WAITED 2 HOURS FOR A TOW THAT NEVER SHOWED, HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME AGAIN. EVENTUALLY GOT VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER. I RCVD A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPT WITH A QUOTE OF $5K OF REPAIRS TO INCLUDE A BRAKE JOB BECAUSE REAR PADS WERE METAL TO METAL. HAD BRAKES CHECKED 1WEEK BEFORE AND HAD 30% LEFT, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS BRAKE DUST MAKING ME SICK.
