Power steering gasket started weeping. Dealer spotted weeping before it worsened into a leak, and fixed it for under a hundred dollars.
Front rotors warped because a shop did not torque the wheel bolts evenly.
I replaced them with slotted rotors and metal pads. Stopping power is excellent now.
The ignition coils went bad at 90K miles, and I replaced them with a used part for $70.
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve became clogged at 88K miles. Replaced with a new part for $90.
At 114,500 miles, I've had to replace the usual stuff: Plugs, plug wires, radiator hoses, PCV valve, accessory belt.
This has been a great car. It is quick, handles *very* well, and is comfortable.
I've done all maintenance myself, except for the power steering seal. Maintenance items are easy to perform.
I wish I had purchased the wagon.
Great to hear!My power steering seal weeps too.I'm looking into getting it fixed also.
Saturn's are great cars if you are meticulous about checking the oil and don't neglect things then go blame the car for it.
Enjoy!
