SATURN IS AN L200 SERIES/THERE WAS ONLY THE LS ON YOUR LIST.NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF ENGINE STALL WHILE TRAVELING AT ALL SPEEDS. CALLED SATURN/SAID VIN NOT ACCEPTED? LIVE IN FLORIDA KEYS/HAD TO GO TO MIAMI & GET TAIL LAMP FIXED/ONLY LASTED TWO WEEKS (THIS WAS BEFORE ENGINE STALL) & CALL TO SATURN. AM 69YR OLD FEMALE/AFRAID TO USE CAR/PAID FOR ALL SORTS OF REPAIRS/MODULES/SENSORS???AND MORE. NO ONE IN KEYS TO REPAIR VIA GM - SATURN SAID MIAMI ONLY. ROUNDTRIP OVER 200 MILES. AFRAID TO DRIVE/CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR/MUST JUNK AND, OFCOURSE, SATURN SAID VIN # NOT UNDER RECALL FOR ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL. IS THERE ANY WAY TO RECOUP DOLLARS I PAID FOR ANY REPAIRS ON THIS CAR??? SO MUCH MORE THAN I AM LISTING HERE......THANK YOU NHTSA. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN EXTREME CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO GET IN A WRECK WITH A CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AND FATALLY INJURE THE YOUNG PASSENGER. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL ALL SATURN SKY ROADSTERS FROM YEARS 2007-2010 AS ALL MODEL YEARS ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES AS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH CAN INDICATE. THANK YOU! *TR

THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RESULT FROM SOME SORT OF FLAW IN THE PLASTIC SUPPLY OR RETURN PORT OF THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY LOCATED NEAR THE FUEL TANK. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN SEVERAL STATES UNDER GM RECALL NO. 090226 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V419000. AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE AND IS MASSIVE SAFETY CONCERN, THIS SHOULD BE BROADENED TO ALL STATES FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

I HAD A RECALL ON MY SWITCH WHICH WAS FIXED BUT IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AS IT DID BEFORE IT WAS FIXED BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR (SPELLING ) IN THE IT THAT KEEPS IT FROM NOT CONNECTING TO LET IT KNOW TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF . I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A COST TO ME TO HAVE IT FIXED . WELL I DON'T FEEL IT SHOULD BE UP TO ME TO PAY FOR IT AND I FEEL IT IS STILL A SAFETY MATTER IN THE CAR . I THINK IT SHOULD OF BEEN PART OF THE RECALL TO FIX IT ALL SO THAT NO ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUR OF THEIR OR MY POCKET TO FIX IT . THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME AND HOPE THAT MY CONCERN WILL BE NOTED . *TR
