Well, sadly I did not replace my 97SL2 with another Saturn. I got an import truck with a V8, 5-spd autobox and a limited slip rear end. The buying experience for the most part sucked compared to the Saturn experience (which has been my best to date).

2002 SL1 110,000 km I bought the car in 2006 at 50 months old ; 65,000 km. Saturn dealer told me, at my first service visit that the upper motor mount was worn & needing replacement. I figured that it should be a warranty repair - he said no. Then I asked why only 4 years 65,000 to wear out the...

I have two 2001 L series sedans, an L200 and an L300. Each one has recently developed stereo problems, some of the low range speakers no longer play (one in the L2 and 3! in the L3). The tweeters seem fine. I have NEVER had a factory stereo fail in any way ever before (and I've owned about 15...

Now that the weather has turned warm, I am noticing that even with the heater control full counterclockwise, the air temperature from the duct is still hotter than the outside air. Any ideas on why this is? Not sure if it is in the internals or just air heated by going over the hot hood and into...

I'm trying to relace the front door speakers in a 01 SC 1. I have all the clips on the bottom and front and back of the panel. Its the power door lock the is giving me trouble. Any suggestions?

Hi...I'm looking at an SL1 for my college age daughter and wondering at what folks think about this model. This one has 55K miles on it and seems to be in pretty good shape. What should I ask about it? How often should the timing belt be changed? Jim

i dont know crap about cars so please bare with me. my 01 sc2 has been driver about 20,000 miles in less then a year i do alot of driving i know. well as of late this loud kinda like humming noise is coming from the car, its louder as i go faster and when i take it out of gear (manual) it...

Had some tranny work done and now the power mirrors dont work. Shop said they didnt do it and the control module is bad. Took it apart...what should I be seeing? The L/R rocker has a metal post that comes down to 4 posts on the board. Shouldnt the posts have metal running between them for the L/R...

Hi. Today I changed the transmission fluid and filter on my 01 SL1 automatic. After changing, my "check engine soon" light came on and my transmisson is shifting rough??? I used Dextron III and the fluid level is showing full. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!

I'm looking at an '01 SL1 and wondering what folks think about them. This one has 55K miles on it. Do they hold up? What is the down side? This is a car for our college student daughter.. Thanks! Jim

I got a used 2001 SC a few months ago. Today my husband was driving it and called to tell me the clutch had not resistance and he couldn't shift. I saw that the clutch fluid compartment was empty so I went and got some clutch fluid, but noticed on the cap of the compartment that is says to fill it...

I've been having a problem getting my new 2002 Saturn Vue to pass smog. The emisions is great, (I thougth that what smog test is all about), but it failed because check engine soon light stays on and fault code P0000 is displayed on the machine. After looking on line about this code, it looks like...

My SC1 occasionally shakes when idling after initial warm up. It sounds like the engine is going to stall sometimes. It is happening more frequently. Plugs were replaced about a month ago. The car generally runs fine, but when you come up to a stop at a red light, once in a while the RPMs...

I just bought a 2002 SC1 with 5 speed and only 28k miles. Pretty happy with the car, the only problem is that ocassionally I have trouble starting it when the engine is cold. All I get is a click. That happens 4-5 times, and then it finally starts. It doesn't happen all the time. I took it to the...

I have question that my Saurn dealer was unable to answer (amazing huh ?). It's an 02 SL1 automatic. We have D, 2, 1. Now i understand that D allows shifting into higher gears, whereas 1 & 2 limit the gear shifts to lower gears, going up or down hills, higher revs lessing the strain on the engine....

I have a 2002 Saturn SL1, and a good 1/3 of the time when I break (whether on a hill or on flat road), the car accelerates up to 2,500 RPMs. It also happens when I am almost completely stopped, which worries me because I don't want to bump anyone on front of me. I am trying to find some answers...

I've got an 2003 Ion QC with add on spoiler and body kit. I've got a few issues as of late.. 1. The fan for heat/AC sounds like the ball bearings or something have gone. I can hear an irritating noise on low, and on high it's just muffled by the blowing. 2. The weather stripping seems to be...

Has anyone else had their Climate control fail on them? I bought this car new and when I took it in to get it fixed, they said they can't fix it and offered me $500 for the incovenience. My car is no longer comfortable to ride, it is either too hot or too cold. We are still in the...

Has anyone noticed a lot of road noise coming from the front wheel wells on their Vue? This occurs at speed of less than 35 mph. On a smooth pavement its not very noticable however if the road surface has slight roughness the noise is more noticable. I checked the front suspension and it seems...

Anyone else having problems getting use to the electric steering? After just over a month it still seems odd. Harder to control then regular steering at high speeds. It feels tight when you start to move the wheel on the highway then after what seems like only a 1/4 inch turn of the wheel the...
