Hi folks, I have a 1996 SL1 with 200,000km on it. (120K miles) I replaced the clutch about 25000 km ago and over the last 5000km, the shifting has been difficult at best. At a light it's difficult to put it in 1st.. finding second or third is difficult as well. Most troubling is that sometimes...

'97 Saturn SL1, 110k miles So this has recently started, and it is scaring me while driving. Not all the time, but sometimes the wheel will start to vibrate violently for a period of time. It is not strong enough to alter the direction that I am driving, but enough to be very noticeable. It...

I bought my 98 SL2 less than a year ago from a local used car dealer here in WV. It had 119,000 miles on it, and drove very smooth. I THOUGHT I did my homework. I did a CarFax report on it, came up perfectly clean. I took it to a good mechanic BEFORE I bought it who told me it was in excellent...

I really hope theres nothing wrong with the suspension sounds like somethings loose on the back pass side.

My car (1997 Saturn SC2)'s lights flicker constantly. Supposedly, I recently had my alternator changed out, after it abruptly died on the highway. My car has almost always had some kind of flickering light problem, but in the past months its gotten worse, and is exsecially worse over 55Mph and...

I have a 1995 SC-2 I'm getting rid of. Realistically, I dont think I could get much for it due to many misc problems, and would part it out if anybody wants something off it. Of course I'd sell the whole thing if I could find a buyer. It runs fine, but heres a list of what's wrong with it. AC...

I have a 94 sc2 and it has failed the massachusettes emmission test. I've replace with new the ox sencor and the catalitic converter, it still failed, any suggestions??

I just replaced the belt on my 97 SL1 this past Dec. and it has started slipping again when first starting. I checked to see if there was any oil on it and it looks clean. I have about 174k miles on it and was wondering if the tensioner could be weak or pulley is locking up. Anyone have...

I have a 2002 SL1 that has had regular maintenance since I bought it used in 2004. Recently I went about 1500 miles over the 3000 limit between "checkups" and brought it in. No oil changes etc. since the last inspection. It had started "hesitating" a bit during acceleration so they checked that....

Just traded my 97 SC2 for an 02 SC2......and am wondering if it may be exhibiting catalytic problems. There is a slight "rattle" when ignition is turned off. It also does a lot of popping like something is really hot.......even after only a few miles. Mechanic says everything looks ok. The...

Do these come in a Four Wheel Drive model? or just AWD? Any year to stay away from??

Here are a bunch of Horror stories that have been sent to me from out of the blue! I cant understand how or why people keep buying Saturns when all these people send me their unsolicited Horror Stories! None of these stories have been followed up on or questioned nor are they well written! All...

Never owned a Saturn, but am impressed with the gas mileage an SL2 can deliver. I have my eye on a 98, 5 spd with 62k miles on it. I think the price is ok, but have some questions. I drove the car and it felt fine, for a 4 cylinder, stick. Are these cars smooth like Hondas, or are they a bit...

Howdy Folks Quick search didn't come up with anything on this, so figured I'd post My wife was warming up our 2004 Vue (FWD 4-cyl), got in, started the heater going, and when she closed the door, just a few seconds later, she heard a pop - the rear window had shattered out (from the...

I've been looking through the threads, and I've seem some on this topic, but they were all pretty old. So I was looking to see if anyone has any more information about this, or if they experienced it, what the final outcome, or fix was for the problem. I've got a 2003 Ion 3, that I purchased two...

First, thanks to everyone on here that answers questions and helps. It has been a great help to myself and I am sure a lot of others. I am saying goodbye to my 97 SL2. I have nothing but good things to say how it treated me over the years. 135,000 miles and still going strong. Only out of ordinary...

1990's SL1's are notorious for eating oil due to sticking rings... Anyone ever tried running 20W-50? It's 13 degrees outside, I have 20W-50 in the car and it seems to start just fine except for a 2-3 second "valve tap" as the think oil tries to migrate. Think I'm risking a starter, oil pump,...

Was wondering if i can get an idea,the frickin' message center on my ion03 has a mind of its own,if it's serious,i will bend & take itin to saturn.

On my 03 Ion,it seems the low fuel chimes on earlier than it should,can it malfuntion that much?.Maybe needs a factory re set?.

Hello all, Help please. My 2003 L200 has a stumbling problem. The car starts fine. It has an intermittant miss only at idle. Step on the gas and it goes. No stumbling or hesitation. At highway speeds it's perfect. Come to a stop light and it starts to stumble. Step on the gas and away it goes with...
