My 92 SL1 had a whining alternator not too long ago (2-3 months). I took the serpentine belt off and spun it to doublecheck. Sure enough, it seemed like it had a couple of bad spots on the bearing. So I bought a rebuild kit, fixed it up and it worked quite nicely for a little while. However, the...

I got into my car went to start it and the battery was dead. Pushed to start (standard, 95 SL2) battery did not charge/will not charge. When I try to start get click/Brrrrrr sound, battery is dead. Put a new starter on the car about year and half ago. What makes the click/Brrrrr sound? What kind...

My 2003 VUE went in for inspection, with 50K miles on it. I 25,000 miles/year. I asked the manager to do his best to make sure I didn't see him for the next 25K. I also told him the front brakes felt like the rotors were warped, but only at turnpike speeds. He called and said the rotors were very...

I just ''dropped ''over $500.00 into my Ion,next month,i'll have it for 4 years.I know parts wear out,these tires are killing me!.

Reading my email at the office this AM, found a new offering from International Rectifier. They have a new regulator mechanism that gets built into the alternator. Similar to the ones used for years except now there is a serial communication link between the alternator and bcm/ecu...

I can't seem to find any repair manual for the Saturn VUE Body. My back latch stopped working and I can't open my back hatch. I believe I could fix it myself if I had some guidance on how to open it. Any Suggestions? I am VERY frustrated with the Saturn VUE. We loved it when we first bought...

Just got some wonderful news over the weekend - Seems that 6 months after I buy my Saturn, DCH which is some corporatation that has exclusive rights to the Long Island area, and owns all 5 Saturn dealers on Long Island, has decided to close all dealerships in Suffolk county, leaving 2 in...

Almost every time I try to start my car, I have trouble inserting a key in the ignition. It seems like it is getting stuck, and is very hard to turn to ACC position. I'm afraid one day it is going to break off inside. Does anyone have the same problem? Have you worked out a solution?

I forgot to also ask about the AC drain. I have the classic wet passenger floor. This may be related to the sunroof problem, but I want to make sure that the AC (Always in use) is not going to create problems. Any help on how to get to the drain line ('96 SL2 DOHC) would be helpful.

I'm currently working on getting a 94 SC2 back to a working condition A/C system. I've borrowed a vacuum pump and and guage set. I put new schreader valves in the compressor because the system wouldnt hold a vacuum. (I hope that was the problem - the A/C worked last year, but the last time I added...

Hello all I've done most of my homework and have searched the past threads on this issue but I still have a few questions. Details below. 1. Where can I get a copy of the extended warranty Saturn offered to those who had cracked heads? 2. Did Saturn make this problem known to all its affected...

Hi I have what seems to be the characteristic high idle problem with some Saturns, but I would like some further advice. This is a 2000 SL1, 1.9L four door, 175,000 miles. The RPMs seem to go up unpredictably. Usualy hover around 1500-2000, but sometimes higher. And now, I'm starting to wonder if...

quick followup to a previous post of mine. I had purchased a new (ebay) remote keyfob. But when I took the car to have it programmed (2001 LW-200), the service advisor returned it to me with the dash lit like a christmas tree and told me the BCM was bad and the keyfob could not be programmed. I...

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 been fighting different problems with my Saturn 96 SL1 for over a year now. Besides the poor engineering, alarm system from hell, and various other quirks this latest issue might help others. I had a battery that was less than two years old and when jump started the car ran fine. The...

I have an '06 Saturn Vue that I purchased in Sept. '06 with 28k miles. Last week at around midnight the alarm activated. After checking that no one had opened any doors I reset the alarm but the dome lamps wouldn't turn off. It was the first cold night we'd had here in Houston, around 38 degrees,...

We owned two Saturns. Traded in the first one before anything went wrong but the second one, an LS2 was a huge pile of crap. How's $600 to replace the thermostat because they put it *inside* the engine block?

Will you get anothr Saturn?,I reall dont think so,but,what else is out there?,Just got my monthly pay statement & i'm just over 6K to go!,the time to decide will be around sooner than i thought.
