2001 Saturn L200 review from North America
"Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Engine light and ABS light comes on.
Every time when I first start the car nothing happens. The second start it starts but does not turn over. Third start it turns over and right away gives out. Forth start turns over and then the engine runs but when I take it out of gear it does not move, it won't even rev. So I shut the engine back off wait another few minutes then the fifth time starts right up gets out of gear, and drives like normal.
Then at other time the car just won't go past 20mph, even mashing the pedal down the floor.
When its not doing that the car will just stall out in the middle of driving but will start right back up and then the rest of the day its fine.
I noticed a leak in the master cylinder and replaced it and then the ABS light went off.
The engine light still appears and can't figure out why.
Does anyone know why all this is happening on this car?
General comments?
I should of just kept the Camry.
