SATURN Complaints

FAILURE OF THE WAVE PLATE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 82,000 MILES AND THE WAVE PLATE IS FAILING. I'M UNABLE TO REVERSE AND THE GEARS SHIFT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN GM CARS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, A SINGLE SPECIAL BULLETIN WAS SENT OUT AND MY VEHICLE MET THE CRITERIA FOR MILEAGE BUT WAS 5 MONTHS PASS THE 10 YEAR MARK. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A FIX SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED OR A REIMBURSEMENT PROVIDED TO OTHERS DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN DESIGN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DO HARD SHIFTS WHILE DRIVING. MY SON, 16 YEARS OLD, WAS DRIVING AND DUE TO HIS INEXPERIENCE HE COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

WHEN IN MOTION AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE MOTOR GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND DRIVES SLOW. I HAVE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND THE CAR STILL GOES INTO REDUCED POWER. THIS IS S SAFETY CONCETTA'S I AM AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT STILL CAN NOT BE PINPOINTED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE POWER STEERING PUMP I WILL SAY EXPLODED FLUID EVERYWHERE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER TURN AT ALL I'M 6'1 270 ATHLETIC AND COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL...I HAVE READ SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE AND AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE...

I WOULD NOT EVEN FILL OUT THIS FORM IF THE THINGS I AM ABOUT TO WRITE DOWN DID NOT HAPPEN AT SUCH AN UNEXPLAINED AND WITH EXTREME PROGRESSION. THE CAR STARTED OFF WITH JUST A WOBBLE AND A JERK. WHICH NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO THE TRACTION LIGHT POPPING ON AND OFF; THE CAR SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE SO DANGEROUSLY IT IS NOW ALMOST NOT DRIVABLE; THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAS STARTED TO FLATTEN AND WEAR AND TEAR VERY FAST, EVEN AFTER GETTING BRAND NEW TIRES, NOW ALL OF THE TIRES ARE STARTING THE SAME WEAR AND TEAR; WHEN ACCELERATING IT STARTS TO JERK AND LOCK UP NOT GOING OVER A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT EVEN IF YOU FLOOR THE PEDAL UNTIL IT LURCHES FORWARD; THE BREAK LIGHTS WERE ALSO STAYING ON AND THEN TURNING OFF WHEN WE PRESSED THE BRAKES, WE GOT THAT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP THOUGH; THE CAR IS COMPLETELY FALLING APART; WE TOOK THE BATTERIES OUT OF THE KEY CHAINS AND THE CAR DOOR STILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES; THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T SEEMED TO BE ALIGNED OR STRAIGHT. LIKE IF IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE WHEEL SOMEWHAT STRAIGHT (A STRAIGHT LINE IS NOW ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITH THIS CAR) THEN YOU HAVE TO ANGLE IT KIND OF THE LEFT. ITS SO DANGEROUS NOW TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THE WHOLE THING FELL APART AT ONCE.AND ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHILE MOVING. WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARKED AND ALSO WHILE ITS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THAT ONLY WITH THE LOCKS UNLOCKING AND LOCKING. AND THE SPEEDS AT WHICH IM GOING WHEN THE OTHER PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING ARE NO MORE THAN 35 MILES PER HOUR.;' I KNOW THAT WE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR AND HAVE ALL THE SERVICE REPORTS . SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH MY CAR.
