1994 Saturn SL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased vehicle brand new, transmission dropped out after 1yr, ENTIRE braking system replaced FIVE times - on the way out for a 6th when I traded it 2 1/2 yrs into 5yr loan, ignition replaced 4 times in one yr, repeated problem w/ driver seat belt locking suddenly & choking me!!!! Dealer & Manufacturer denied service problem but then wanted to decrease trade-in value by $2700 due to service history!!!!
General comments?
Don't be fooled by all of the "Saturn Family" gimmicks! You're only their friend as long as your car runs properly. They don't like you very much when your car reminds them on a regular basis that they are not perfect! I'd walk to the ends of the earth before I'd drive a Saturn again!
