| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | BALL OF BALL AND SOCKET LINKAGE AT SHIFTER ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSED THE INABILITY TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS PROBLEM CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. CAR WAS STUCK IN GEAR IT WAS INITIALLY IN. REPORTED ISSUE TO SATURN DEALERSHIP. THEY SEEM TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE I DID NOT NEED TO FULLY DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. *JB |
| 2000 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY | TRIED TO INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO START BUT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED. COULD NOT JIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK. MECHANIC SAID THE IGNITION CYLINDER WAS FAULTY, HOWEVER WHEN HE TRIED TO REMOVE IT TO REPLACE, IT WOULD NOT COME OUT. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. FIRST REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY ORDERED FROM SATURN WAS FAULTY SO HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER ONE. SATURN MECHANICS SAID THEY HAD SEEN "SEVERAL" OF THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. I'M KEEPING THE ORIGINAL PARTS IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44K MILES ON IT. *NLM |
