Faults:

I have had this car for 4 months, and the check engine light comes off and on at about every 30 km.

I put 5.5 of synthetic oil in at 4894 kms and when I reached 8800 kms it was time for another oil change.

And finally the kicker is the darn thing stalled on me when I stopped at a traffic light and wouldn't start again for 10 minutes. And please note this is an automatic not a manual transmission.

General Comments:

My car has been in the service department at Saturn several times and they tell me they have no idea what is wrong with it. It could be that I got the lemon, but they have done nothing to keep my business for the future.

As far as the oil needing to be changed so soon after the last, I was told that the oil should be black because it is cleaning the engine. Well what exactly needs to cleaned on a car with only 9000 km on it.

Faults:

Trunk ajar warning not coming up on message center, other than that nothing has gone wrong with this car so far (touch wood)

General Comments:

We are really please with this car, it rides nice and handles well for the type of car that it is. Acceleration is more than adequate.

The engine maybe a little noisy when accelerating, but it is a pleasant throaty sound not unlike a sports car.

Headroom and shoulder room is excellent.

Faults:

The key got stuck in the ignition.

The service engine light came on.

The cruise control stopped working twice.

General Comments:

I have had this car for a little over 2 weeks and have already had 4 problems with it. I purchased it brand new. Less than a week after I picked it up, I was driving to a meeting. When I pulled into my parking spot I shut the car off and the key would not come out of the ignition. I called my father to try and he also couldn't get it out. I ended up leaving it in there while I attended my meeting and then drove it home. After fighting with it for 20 min I was finally able to remove the key.

The following day I went on a hour and a half road trip with a friend. Halfway to our destination, the service engine light came on. It stayed on until the following evening.

At this point I took the car in for service. They said it was a bad sensor and they had to adjust the shifter to ensure the key would come out. They had to keep it overnight and I was given a loaner.

A few days after this happened, a friend was asking about the buttons on my steering wheel. I told her it was the cruise control and proceeded to show her how it works. Much to my surprise, it didn't work.

I was back at the dealership last night and they fixed the cruise. I tested it as I was leaving and it seemed to be working. However this morning I tried it again and it didn't work. I am not happy with this car.
