Hi, Is this something I should be concerned about, and does anyone know what it might be? I have a 2000 SL1 with 30,000 miles on it. In cold weather when I go to shift from 1st to 2nd gear I feel as though I have to exert more pressure then normal to get it to go into gear... further there is a...

I just bought a 2004 VUE. Before I order Saturn's roof rack crossbars, I was wondering if Yakima or Thule attachments are compatible. I have a Yakima kayak rack and a Thule cargo box. I already have some Yakima Q-Towers from the car I traded in. I don't suppose Yakima makes any Q-Clips for the...

Hi, I own a 2000 SL1, and a friend of mine owns a 1998.. my sister ownes a 1995 Saturn... so far we are all extremely pleased with them. My question is, how often have you had your Saturn break down on you? What have you do to it (maintance wise), etc?

The volume adjust knob is loose. Need to take out the radio to fix it, don't have the shop manuals, and wonder if anyone can outline how to get it out... thanks mh

I imagine this will be a no brainer for many, but I wanted to throw it out there. Could somebody please list probable causes for squeaking in my rear brakes? Here's the situation: Only 40k miles, and the brakes only squeak the first couple of times I depress the pedal. In other words,...

I owned (until today actually) a 1997 SL1 it just surpassed 131,000 miles today when I purchased my new saturn. As for a little more punch, I have heard that the tornado thing you put in your cars intake tubing has helped some people in their quest for a mild improvement. Plus I think most...

My '94 SL2 is no more. After 167,000 mostly trouble-free miles (and no end in sight), a fellow decided to see how his truck would look in my trunk. Lots o' damage. I've enjoyed this forum immensely...the help, the opinions. I expect I'll be a Saturn owner again someday. As much as I know it's...

Hi, We're looking for a small (about 1.5 in x .5 in) yellow plastic connector that is part of the clock spring. We've heard it called : yellow 2-way connector/yellow connector/SIR connector but we think the proper name is: Inflator Module Connector It's for a 2000 SL that has been in an accident...

Hey all, I have a 2000SL1 with 78K miles. Automatic (2nd transmission >.< ouch). When the weather bottoms out and the temp drops the car will start and idle at 3000RPM. Yikes! Then it will drop down to normal, but when I put it in gear, the RPMs go back up and the car could practically drive...

Hello, I have a 1994 SL2 with a dual overhead cam. The problem is the automatic transmission. When I start the car and pull away the tranny will not shift up. It will only go into third. After a little while it will then shift into gear and run regularly. I did have the problem prior to...

So this morning, my wipers decided to act up, intermittent setting 3 and 2 work fine, low speed wipes once, mist wipes once, high speed works fine, washer doesn't work at all. Where should a begin looking?? SHaughn

Can someone please tell me what is the light next to the coolent/temperature light. I bought a Saturn SL1 97 sometime back, but the previous owner did not provide me with the user manual. These two lights have started blinking infrequently. Usually it is when I start the car they start blinking...

Start my car before the bell goes off,go back in to clock out,get in my Ion,stalled the mess. center reads: POWER STR.Did the power steering make my Ion stall?.It drove home normal.

Had a similar prob. w/my '94 SL2, seems to be inherent with my 2002 SC2. Wash the car or after a heavy rain, open the doors and the door step plates (rocker plates) are wet, especially under the plate at the rear where the 3rd door opens. No water inside, the seals are holding good, but before...

Today.. All of a sudden the engine wouldn't idle when stopped.. It would rev up and down... It was strange.. It happened to me once before and I noticed it happens when I run the AC... After I turn off the AC and put it in neutral and stablize the idle.. It will idle fine... Very strange.. The...

My son's 125K+ mile SL1 has been leaking transmission fluid, but has just started getting much worse. I took a quick look underneath and it appears to be coming form the area of the filter, transmission cooler lines and a sensor. I'm guessing it is one of the cooler line fittings since it...

because some ******* put anti-freeze in my gas tank. The mechanic replaced it and took hours to wash that crap out of the system then charged me $350..OUCH Now I have a locking gas cap. :(

Hi My wife just came home and told me she hit the front bumper off a large rock will pulling out of a drive way. It will need a replacement bumper and I have a few questions that I hope some of you can answer. By the way it's a ION 2004 Sedan 1. 1) How much does a front bumper cost? 2) Is it...

While parking my 98 SL manual in a lot, pointing downward, I drove the front end over the a, which made a loud scraping sound. I then backed up, which made even more noise. Now the front bumper on the passenger side is hanging about 1" off from where it meets the body, and inside the wheel well,...

I have a 96 sl1 with about 138k miles on it, recently the clutch started squeaking. I took it to saturn and they recommended I spend about 275.00 on some repairs (don't know exactly what)but they were not sure that would fix the problem, if it didn't the clutch would be next and that would...
