2002 Saturn L300 review from North America
"This car is the MOST unreliable car I have ever seen (probably worse then the De Soto was)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires worn out at 26,000 miles
Brake rotors warped at 30,000 miles
Horn broke twice since I've owned
Belt Tensioner broke at 33,000 miles
Crank Shaft sensor wire harness broke at 34,000 miles
1 Piston no longer getting compression at 34,000 miles
Currently being diagnosed for other issues at 34,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is the MOST unreliable car I have ever seen (probably worse then the De Soto was). I owned a 1994 and 1995 Saturn SL2, which both made it over 114,000 miles. I did not have this many problems with both the 1994 and 1995 Saturn SL2 COMBINED in the 114,000+ miles, as I had with the 2002 Saturn L300 in 34,000 miles (Brand New).
