Oct 2008

A "pinging" noise was heard when cornering right above 60kmh. The noise was traced back to a misaligned drivers front brake shield that was catching on the rotor a/o caliper. This might be related to the same wheel having had a new bearing installed prior Sunroof required alignment as the back drivers corner was not correctly seating when closed. There was no water leakage but the misalignment (about 1/64") was noticeable standing beside the vehicle. Loud wind noise from upper windshield area. More pronounced in cooler weather. Windshield was replaced (non dealer) in May 2008 due to a rock strike. Noise was not there prior to windshield replacement. Dealer/Windshield shop could not replicate noise.

Only the drivers side???Lesson learned. Dont go with multiple problems. Brake warning light intermittently coming on. Dealer could find no faults in the braking system. Brake pads/rotors sound.

Engine started running very rough. I thought it might have been a dirty throttle body. I took off the air intake and it looked clean. Attached the intake back and went to start it and was making all sorts of weird noises. Shut it off and after it was off for a few seconds, I heard a odd noise which sounded like something cracking. Turns out the timing chain was breaking slowly causing the rough engine and the noise I heard was it finally snapping. Had it towed in and apparently this car has a zero tolerance timing chain which basically means that when it starts to break it throws the moving engine parts into each other causing catastrophic engine failure. The guy in the shop told me that he could fix it, but I'm better off trying to sell it for parts or scrap it. The labor and parts would cost well over what the car was worth. If you have this car, if you can afford to replace it before issues start to arise, do it. These things are garbage. Never had so many problems with a car in my life.

Odometer updates to reflect milage travelled. Display problem only. Gasket between engine and transmission leaking oil. Dealership cleaned area and added dye to confirm problem. Parts ordered for future repair. Gasket between engine and transmission replaced. Daytime running lights failed to come on automatically. Saturn has a special warranty for this. A resistor near the front-right bumpler needed to be replaced. After last repair, vehicle was OK for about two weeks before problem resurfaced. Problem has always been intermittant and does not produce specific codes other than "loss of communication" (with the body control module) This time, they re-seated connector

Sometimes the battery appears as dead, no pilots lights, no radio, nothing. The problem was some type of corrosion in the BCM connectors. Cleaned it and the problem disappeared. Suddenly, without warning, the low beam headlights stopped working. Light bulbs are fine. Position lights and high beam do work. Apparently the switch lever is OK. The mechanic thinks it is the BCM acting up. Decided not to replace it yet.

Valve cover gaskets leaking oil. A TSB was also done on the PC Valve where freezing in the line can preventing the PCV to operate causing oil to be blown out. Since it started leaking more when it got cold, that was likely the issue. Valve cover gaskets leaking oil.
