2001 SL2 Bad Quill Bearing - no help from the Dealer
2.5 month ago I bought a used Saturn SL2 (30,000 miles when bought). A
week ago I noticed that the clutch seemed to slip under acceleration. Took the car back to the dealer and was told that "Quill bearing leaked, ruined the clutch" - $1800. I have only driven the car 2850 miles since I bought it from the dealer, however CT lemon law only forces the dealer to cover the car for 3000 miles or 60 days - I am on day 72. The dealer doesnt want to do anything to help (well, actually - they said, they will "think about it"). My question is can I do anything ? Call the factory, the rep ? Have people seen this type of failure so early ? |

3 yr has passed (this is 2001 car). The dealer checked. No warranty. I
called Saturn customer assistance, they said they will "try to help" .... Art wrote: > Didn't the car have a new car 3 year/36k mile warranty when originally sold > new?
