I own 1996 Saturn SC2 purchased in 2007, it is sporty and I fell in love with it. Now however I am very unhappy, the starter went first, them the generator. The other day my husbands Subaru was down while running him for parts my check engine light came on flashing the car started missing bucking and lost power, I managed to get it home, I am disabled my husband is laid off & does all repair work, has tried everything and it makes no difference. The car has had a oil leak since I purchased it we have been unable to find were it is, and it just gets worse. This is my second Saturn, I drove my first an SL1 4 years and never had to repair it. But this car has major issues and I must have a reliable auto, with no money where do I go? help Saturn knows about these issues and should pay for repairs, I expect to have some repairs with a car this old but this is outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been an ongoing problem with Saturn generally and Saturn (galles) of albuquerque, nm specifically. 3 separate times they have wrecked my engine! this has been due to oil leakage into the spark plugs and the valve gasket cover is warped. This has yet to have been corrected properly by Saturn. I have now taken it to another mechanic who is able to fix it correctly. It has not caused a safety isuue...yet.

I own a 96 Saturn SC2. I purchased it in April of 2000, with 43,000 miles on the odometer. Since then, I have driven approximately 23,000 miles, noticing a significant oil consumption issue. When on the highway, it will use approximately a quart every 500 miles. Around town, I can squeeze out more, around needing one quart every 1,000 miles. I have heard complaints from others, and feel that this is an issue that needs to be addressed. I myself work on cars all the time and know to check and add oil (much cheaper than an overhaul). However, for those people who don't do so and only change oil every 3,000 miles may well end up stranded. This seems to definitely be a recurring safety issue with Saturn that needs to be dealt with immediately. Thank you.
