SATURN Complaints

THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING, GM REFUSES TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE VIN ISN'T ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, BUT THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR SAYS IT HAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AND PUMP.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS SET DEEP INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR STYLING PURPOSES. AS A RESULT, THE GAUGES ARE VERY DARK AND CANNOT BE READ DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. GM SHOULD MAKE A SOFTWARE PATCH AVAILABLE TO TURN ON THE BACK LIGHTING TO THE GAUGES DAY OR NIGHT WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. OTHER VEHICLES ARE SETUP THIS WAY. THE SATURN SKY SHOULD TOO. HOW CAN I DRIVE SAFE WHEN I CANNOT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING?

I AM TRYING TO REPLACE THE TURBOCHARGED UNIT BUT ALL 3 PURCHASE HAD AN INTERNAL CRACK. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM UNKNOWN BY CONSUMERS? SHOULD I BE WORRIED THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE?

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED DURING DAYTIME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, ETC. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS SHOULD BE ON WHENEVER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ON.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING GOT HARD WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG JUST START TO SHOW WITHOUT NO CAR ACCIDENT MAKE, NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT DO I HAVE TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE KEY DOSENT WANT TO COME OUT THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION. AND THE RED AIR BAG DOSENT SHUT OFF FROM THE DASHBOARD IT STAYS RED.

I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING AT ALL. I HAD NO WARNING ABOUT THIS, IT JUST HAPPENED. NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE I'M IDLING AND SHAKES AND PULLS WHEN DRIVING. I HAD NO PROBLEM OR ANY KIND OF WARNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I AM 58 YRS OLD AND MY MOTHER IS 85 YRS OLD AND WE SHARE THE CAR. I CAN BARELY STEER IT WHEN IT GOES OUT, THERE IS NO WAY MY MOM COULD TURN THE WHEEL.. IT FIRST HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKED, WHEN I CAME OUT AND STARTED THE CAR IT WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE NEXT SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS GONE OUT IT'S USUALLY WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER HAVING TO MAKE SOME TIGHT TURNS OR U-TURNS. TODAY IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY ON THE INTERSTATE.

SO TODAY DRIVING TO WORK CAR RAN FINE GOT OFF MY EXIT CAME TO THE RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. WHEN I GAVE IT GAS TO GO THE ENGINE REVED UP AND WENT BUT VERY SLOWLY THEN IT STOPPED REVING AND DRIVE FINE. THEN ON MY WAY HOME DID THE SAME THING TILL I WENT TO PULL ON TO THE STREET I LIVE ON AND HAD TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BUT REV THE ENGINE. HUSBAND IS CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUILD LEVELS. BUT HAS NEVER DUN THIS IN THE YEAR I HAVE HAD THIS USED CAR. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. HAVE READY A LOT OF FOURMS AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. BUT NO RECALL
