I PURCHASED THIS SATURN WITH 32K ON IT, TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED OVERHEATING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO COMPLETELY REWIRE A FEW THINGS. ONE MONTH AFTER THAT HAPPENED, I NOTICED WHEN I TURNED I FELT A POPPING IN THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I AGAIN CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD ME BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND STATED SOMETHING WAS LOOSE IN THE AXEL SHAFT AND THEY їFIXEDї THE POPPING BY TIGHTENING IT UP. THREE MONTHS FOLLOWING THE ABOVE EVENTS, I NOTICED THE POPPING STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT BALL JOINT, RACK, AND PINION. I DROVE AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TO TURN AROUND AND RETURN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. AT THAT POINT THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE MONTHS STRAIGHT. THEY SAY THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN DOWN. EVERY TIME I CALLED FOR AN UPDATE THEY ALWAYS HAD A DIFFERENT ANSWER. I HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS ON THIS CAR 3 TIMES NOW AND IT ONLY HAS 60K. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG COIL BUT YET IT CONTINUES TO COME ON. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING CONSTANTLY IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. MY HUSBAND WAS CALLED TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ AND WE HAD A 2 WEEK OLD BABY SO WE HAD TO GET A BIGGER CAR BEFORE HE LEFT. WE ONLY HAD 3 DAYS WHEN HE WAS CALLED UP TO LEAVE (HE WAS INACTIVE RESERVE AND WAS CALLED UP). I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO RESEARCH THIS CAR BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER THIS CAR. READING INTO IT NOW, IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. *TR

STEERING
ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN MY WHEEL BACK STRAIGHT AFTER MAKING A TURN. I HAD MY USUAL OIL CHANGE COMPANY CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS ANY POWER STEERING FLUID AND THERE WAS. *TR
