The fbi was my first choice. The car overheats from a cold start after I just filled up the coolant and drove the car for a few feet in 2 minutes from start. The coolant was already overflowing. I noticed something was eating the battery load when this happened another time making the car lose power when I checked the reading on the cars installed voltmeter. This after driving for about a mile. This extreme hot tempreture causes the coolant to boil and overflow even if I aid it with a rewired radiator fan on I have replaced the thermostat and the waterpump a couple of times. Please help captain america. The receipt from the attached file is the latest.this car is possessed.

Air bag light was not working, replaced 2 of the componenets under the dash one under the drivers side up in the corner and the other up behind the glove box. Cooling fan does not function properly must keep the AC on for the fan to work. A friend of mine has the same car and has the same problem. Tried to fix by replacing the sensors had a mechanic try to trouble shoot, can't find a reason so it is not fixed just keep AC on always. Car vibrates and can't find a reason still looking for problem, vibrates so much body parts on front are becoming misaligned! And it seems the auto-transmission shifts funny. Check engine light comes and then stays on after driving apx. 1 mile. Cruise control does not work properly. My friend has all the same complaints.

The consumer was cleaning the interior of the vehicle, when all of a sudden when he sprayed the hand brake and the surrounding area, the automated saftety belt arm started to move backward and foward and then locked and retracted multiple times without any reason or warning. The consumer contacted the dealer and was told it was common since the vehicle was designed without a cup holder, if drinks were accidently spiiled into the hand brake opening, it would cause the seat belt module to malfunction. When the consumer arrived at the dealership, he was informed the vehicle came equipped with a temporary seat belt clip. *ts

I feel that saturn made a lemon and I bought it! I have brought this up to my sales person. He refused to take my phone calls. Saturn refuses to give me the names of the "higher-ups" in which to bring my grievances too. I feel there are too many major repairs for only 29,000 miles that I have put on this car. No safety defect listed.

Dealer says that this system fails often, because the electoning controler is under the spot for the cup holder and is not waterproof. If this is failing and seat belts are not working on a lot of these cars, I wanted you to know that and make them fix the ones, like mine, that have failed.
