Saturn LS Reviews - Page 4 of 9

Mass Air Flow Sensor- caused trans to bang really hard into gear

Crankshaft Sensor- caused the car to turn off while driving

O2 sensor-

Interior lights will not work repeatedly blows fuse

Drivers side front window will not go down automatically

Taillights had to be replaced multiple times

Front door hinge is broken causes the door to crack loudly when open.

Very disappointed in Saturn will never buy another one.

In 2003 the electrical system ignition module was recalled and replaced. In 2006 the engine light came on and the car caught fire. Again, it was the same problem. We paid the cost of repairs. Saturn refused to pay for repairs. ($2000.00)

If you are driving and the service engine light comes on, and blinks rapidly, get out of the car and call a tow truck immediately. It will catch fire.

I am another proud owner of a Saturn LS that the timing chain slipped and ruined the engine. I think we should all unite and protest at our nearest dealer... if interested please contact me at

I had to take the vehicle in to the dealer, for a BCM problem. My car doors wouldn't unlock when I took the key out of the ignition, the car wouldn't shift out of park, and none of my gauges worked properly. I had the car towed to the Saturn Dealership, where they took TWO days to figure out it was the BCM module that was causing the issue.

I've had the problem before (similar symptoms), and kept complaining about it to the dealer while the car was still under extended warranty. The dealer claims nothing is wrong with the car, and sent me on my way. The warranty expired recently, and finally, they discover the problem? Odd, from my point of view. Cost me 620 dollars to fix.

When it runs, it runs great - when it doesn't run, it's extremely frustrating.

Head gasket leak at 70K miles. Burns oil since 100 K miles. EGR valve has been replaced.

The head gasket was replaced due to a water leak. The EGR valve was replaced due to poor performance.

This car burns oil. I'm my opinion, this car has a poorly designed engine.

I was shocked, and relieved at the same time to see others have the same problems I have been having.

My speedometer and odometer both went out about 4 weeks after the warranty was up, and my mileage was at almost 29,000. Took it in, and they couldn't find anything wrong. However, hooking the car up to their "machine" somehow made both work again.

About 6 months later, I too heard a high pitched squeal, and my odometer had wound to the magical number of 694,978!

We have been told we need a new "brain" for somewhere in the $800.00 bracket. I feel that's an obscene amount to fix an odometer. So, to date it hasn't been fixed.

The car is now 6 years old and I estimate it to have around 48 to 49 thousand miles. The thing is starting to fall apart. Poorest excuse for a car I've ever had. Sad thing is the Saturn before this one was great. But of course I only kept it 3 years. And I recommended Saturn's to so many people, who actually went out and got them. Hope they will forgive me.

Anyway, thanks to stumbling on this web site I now find the answer to one of my problems. Shouldn't something so obviously defective as the "body control module" be recalled? That's ridiculous.
