Faults:

The turn signals were recalled and replaced.

The ignition switch was defective and replaced.

The stereo system was defective and replaced.

I had 2 blower motors replaced and I currently need a 3rd.

The electronic panel on the driver's side works when it feels like it. Sometimes the window won't open and sometimes it will.

The thermometer/compass in the rear view mirror has spliced.

General Comments:

Don't let all the bells and whistles fool you! This car is a lemon! I bought this car brand new and have had problem after problem with it.

At first Saturn were good about replacing the parts, even though some needed replacing more than one time. I was given free oil change coupons to make up for the time that I had spent coming in to have my brand new car repaired every week.

Now that the warranty is over, so is the customer service. I dread what else I will have to pay for while I am still trying to pay off the darn thing.

Faults:

Starting problems.

Seats stain easily.

General Comments:

Drive this car a lot and never had problems. Got me from A to B in relative comfort and with good mileage. Intermittent starting problems for the last few weeks. Absolutely no rhyme or reason, no indicator lights or warning messages displayed. Car will start after 15-20 minutes of trying. Today, took to mechanic... of course it started... he thinks the alternator is overcharging the battery. At 41K miles I need a new alternator and battery?!? He has the car overnight and hopefully can replicate. Glad I purchased the extended warranty... I hope!

Faults:

My coolant light dings every 25 to 75 miles. The dealer did a pressure check, found nothing wrong with the coolant system except a "PO134 02 Sensor" which was replaced and an ECM reprogrammed.

Within ten miles of leaving the dealership, the coolant light came on and dinged again. Any ideas?

General Comments:

Suspension creaking and bushings are an ongoing problem. I'm into my second replacement of bushings and suspension links.

Car is very expensive to repair. I never leave the dealer without a $700. bill.

Faults:

Knocking sound coming from under car,

General Comments:

Sounds like U/A joints from suspension arm. not as noticeable when driving straight, but very pronounce when turning. anyone else have this problem??

Faults:

When I first got it, there was a speaker blown out from the previous owner - luckily covered under warranty.

A lot of squeaks when you're driving with the radio/cd low. Sometimes you can hear the air blowing like the window is cracked slightly, but it's not cracked.

Seats easily stain.

There is a lot of wasted room, like below the radio/cd player there is a piece of plastic where there could have been a compartment of some sort.

Sound quality really is not as great as I was used to in my Elantra GT. Sounds like all the sound is in the back.

No reading lights.

General Comments:

This car speeds up very nicely, but in the winter if you don't let it heat up (like if you're running late for work) it is herky-jerky for a few minutes.

Overall I really am actually happy with my Saturn, but there are a lot of things I wish it had. Sunroof, better audio quality, more "options".

Love the outside look of it.
