2004 Saturn ION Ion Quad 3 review from North America
"I used to love Saturn. But they're just too expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My coolant light dings every 25 to 75 miles. The dealer did a pressure check, found nothing wrong with the coolant system except a "PO134 02 Sensor" which was replaced and an ECM reprogrammed.
Within ten miles of leaving the dealership, the coolant light came on and dinged again. Any ideas?
General comments?
Suspension creaking and bushings are an ongoing problem. I'm into my second replacement of bushings and suspension links.
Car is very expensive to repair. I never leave the dealer without a $700. bill.
