Had my '02 SC2 in the shop Monday. Valve tapping was pronounced a little louder than normal so the tech looked at my car and gave it a clean bill of health. He suggested that changing the engine coolant temp sensor may help in quieting my engine and possibly help it run smoother. My warranty...

2005 VUE, FWD, V6: Had them do a front brake job and about a week later, started a "grinding" noise whne stopping at a sign or light. Only a slow, low speed stop. Took it back in and they charged me $49.95 for a "brake inspection" and found nothing wrong. Two weeks later, noise MUCH worse so I...

My "Get Engine Serviced Soon" light has been coming on intermittently since March, and started when it was raining quite a bit. The car is a 1998 4-door SL with 1.92L engine, and about 60K miles. The light would generally go off after the wet had evaporated from the system, and only came on...

I have a 94' saturn sl1, when you turn the key the engine doesn't start but the drive belts make a partial turn, they move but if you keep cranking they don't keep going they stop after only partially moving. I can hear the fuel pump, I replaced the battery with a brand new one, checked the battery...

Had to replace mine las month.

Anyone know where I can order a cheap passanger side ball joint. I need one for a 92 Saturn sl 1.9 sohc. If anyone knows a web site I can find it at that would be great.

Got this in the mail, so I thought I'd share it on my car & truck newsgroups...Talk about your ultimate dream find...sheesh... IYM >>How would you like to have bought this property? Imagine you're going to live in Portugal.

Yes, the Batmobile is far better, so throw away the Saturn and get a Batmobile!

Hey all, Driving in to work today, for the first time since I've owned my Saturn (SL2, 98, bought used in 2001) my battery indicator light came on. Now, I've heard and read in the past about the problems that Saturns have with alternators, and if you get your alternator changed you should get...

We took a few days off to visit one of our fine lake resorts, as we like to do every year. My 1996 SL2 was our means of transportation and we covered the 266 km in short order. I stopped once to find out where the motel's parking lot was. I moved the car to the unloading spot and we had a meal and...

I really dont think anytone at Saturn has checked my 03 Ion battery,if they did ,thet never told me!,so,i'm taking it in this friday for an oil change & finally rememberedto tell them.These guys are SO casual about their work,you almost have to raise your voice to get a point across.

Hi, My 1997 Saturn has a new battery installed 3 months ago. I don't drive much, and it started perfectly normally the last time I drove it a week ago. (It's been a cold week with average temperature just below freezing - not too bad really). This morning when I attempted to start it, it was...

Is there any diference in having it in the trunk,maintainance wise?,I know they don't check it when I bring it in for the oil changes.I'd hate to open the trunk floor lid & find battery jizz all over the pan & trunkfloor.

Who started this?,I KNOW when the time comes,it's going to be a major bitch to take all the junk out of the trunk just to fnd out what the deal is.

I have a 1993 Saturn SC2 and I am about convinced this car has a gremlin. For the past year it goes through "phases" where it just won't start. If you are persistent it will start eventually....The first symptom of this problem was when I started the car I would notice that the radio was always...

Hi Group, I am ignorant about cars for the most part. About a month ago, my car (2001 SL) would not start, would not even click when turning the key. I thought my battery was toast, I was able to boost the car and drive along. As soon as I would turn the car off, it would need a boost again to get...

I have a 2000 SL1 with 119K. Yesterday, the car would not start. All symptoms of a dead battery. Headlights were dim, trying to start was only making a clicking sound. I got a pair of jumper cables and the car started. A warehouse store was less than a mile away so I decided to drive there. On...

I have a '97 SC2 and had to replace the battery. No problem. The problem is that the chime no longer operates and The Rear Window defroster no longer operates and I cannot get to the security code input mode on the radio to unlock the radio. (the radio is locked out) I believe that they are...

I find this assinine!It was around,or under $20.00 for a battery test,the 1st time as far as I know-you really wonder what REALLY goes on out there in the bays.-they checked the altenator too,well i guess that's better than having the 'ol car die on me in a blizzard.

Hi, I just had the battery replaced on my Saturn last summer. It suddenly died two days ago, and the tow truck operator thought it's a bad operator. But the mechanic is telling me the alternator is fine, and the guy who put the battery in had put vaseline on the terminals, which caused a...
