What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 saturn l100. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated as engine power began to reduce independently. The contact merged to the shoulder, shut off and then restarted the vehicle. The contact then saw smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. The manufacturer was contact and advised that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing.
My saturn (manual 5 sp) has over 202,000 miles and the parking brake cables are frozen/broken. I cannot currently find any replacement/after market.
