What owners wrote
I bought the car brand new and it was in the shop two weeks later. So far I've gone through 2 catalytic converters, 2 electronic control modules. I think only one coil, with a couple oxygen sensors to go along with that. Both of the cylinders have gone out on the clutch. I'm still waiting for saturn to call me on an air check valve that supposedly failed. As for the power locks, they just seem to lock or not to lock when they feel fit to do so. I also get a service light that comes on when it feels like it to.....
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 saturn l200. While driving less than 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled and came to a complete stop. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. He was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and it was discovered that the timing belt needed to be replaced. The failure and current mileages were 67,000.
