SATURN Complaints

INTERMITTENT ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOSS DURING DRIVING, CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO STEERING COLUMN. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE STEERING SHAFT SNAPPED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL.

IT IS HARD TO TURN WHEN IT SIT IDLE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY LOOSENES UP WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, WITCH MAKES IT HARD TO PARK OR TURN WHEN AT A GREEN LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND WHEN I REVERSE OR NEED TO GO FORWARD AND TURN A LITTLE BIT IN SMALL SPACES TO ADJUST THE PLACEMENT OF WHICH MY VEHICLE IS IN ITS TO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN MOTION FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE SO MUCH STRENGTH TO FORCE IT TO TURN.

DURING A LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION THE PROGRAMMING FOR THE TPMS AND SECURITY FEATURES WAS LOST. 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED. DEALER SAYS IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES SOFTWARE UPDATE. I PAID ONCE FOR THE UPDATE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN REALLY SLOW I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON IT WOULDN'T CRANK.

HAD PPS RECALL REPAIR DONE AND LATER ISSUE RETURNED. AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON.

THE FLUID LEAKED OUT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CAUSING A THUMPING AND GRINDING NOISE IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE SEAL WAS REPLACED BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR HAS 30,000 MILES WHICH IS RELATIVELY LOW FOR THAT YEAR. THE CAR AND IS USED PRIMARILY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AS I LIVE IN A SEMI NORTHERN STATE.

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE SATURN VIEWS IT IS WHERE THE ENGINE CARRIAGE BOLT ATTACHES TO THE FRAME THE WATER FROM THE ROAD IN EVERYTHING SHOOTS RIGHT UP ON IT AND RUST THIS AREA WHERE I HAD TO WORK ON THIS AREA AND REMOVE THE BOLTS IN THE FRONT THERE WAS SO MUCH RUST THAT NOW THE BOLT CANNOT BE REATTACHED THIS WOULD CAUSE PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD IF IN A WRECK IT WOULD FOLD UP NOW I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY TO FIX IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OF THE CARS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY WORKED ON. THE FRAME OF A CAR SHOULD NOT RUST OUT LIKE THIS. SHOULD B THE LAST THING TO RUST OUT.THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME WAS REPLACING SWAY BAR COMPONENTS.

MY BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD MY DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB ONLY DRIVER DOOR HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK PASSENGER AND BACK LOCKS .FRONT SUSPENSION KEEPS VIBRATING AND MAKING CLINKING NOISES.

I BOUGHT THIS 2008 SATURN ASTRA XR USED IN 2014 FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. AND IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MANY REPAIR SHOPS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS BUT AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS AND THEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING VARIOUS PARTS AND COMPONENTS IT STILL CONTINUED HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS THAT ALL THE GENIUS MECHANICS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I SUSPECT THAT THE CAR DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A TRADE-IN CAR THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A WATER FLOOD DAMAGE SITUATION AND ALL OR MOST OF THE HIDDEN WIRING AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE PROBABLY CORRODED AND RUSTED. BUT NONE OF THE GENIUS MECHANICS WHO WORKED ON MY CAR EVEN SUSPECTED THAT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR COULD'VE BEEN CAUSED BY WATER FLOOD DAMAGE. THEY JUST KEPT REPLACING MANY OLD PARTS WITH NEW PARTS AND CHARGING ME LOTS OF MONEY. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT OR FIGURE OUT IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A WATER FLOOD DAMAGE SITUATION THAT IS STILL CAUSING THESE STARTING PROBLEMS. IT TAKES ME 15 MINUTES TO OVER AN HOUR TO START THIS CAR EACH TIME FOR ALL THESE YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2014. TODAY IS FRIDAY 3-19-2021, THANK YOU

MY IGNITION WAS RECALLED BUT THE MECHANICS AT GM CRESTVIEW DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO RESET THE COMPUTER SO ALL MY LIGHTS STAYED ON FOR CHECK ENGINE. NOW MY IGNITION IS ACTING UP AND MY CAR WON'T TURN ON. IS IT STILL COVERED UNDER THE RECALL?
