2001 Saturn L300 review from North America

"Worst Car in History!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have a 2001 L300 V6. In December 2006 on my way home from work at 2am I noticed the overheating light on and before I could get off the road I heard a poping sound under the hood followed by a sound of running water. I towed it to the Saturn dealer and they informed me of a blown head gasket, oil cooler, oil cooler rings, etc. The total cost was $2100.00. After about 3 weeks the car starts to make a terrible noise and the service engine wrench light comes on. I take it back and the timing and drive belt both are cracking and the tensioner and pulleys need to be replaced. Total cost $1200.00. When I pick it up yesterday is sounded great. Could not even hear it running when cranked. On the way home I stopped at a red light and when I accelerated it shifted hard and the service light with the wrench came on?? I've already spent $3300.00 in 2 months on this car, what could possibly be wrong now? After I got home and started the car again the light was off. It will come on occasionally when accelerating and jerking a little. Is there any way to be heard or get the word out about these cars They have way too many issues. I have also experienced the uneven tire wear many have mentioned about this car.

General comments?

I will never buy or encourage anyone to buy a Saturn.
