Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The drivers side seat belt is stuck in the middle of the door it started out just getting stuck occasionally and then would move all the way back now won't move at all. Talked to 4 other Saturn owners and they have the same problem. Now the passenger side seatbelt has started sticking. The engine was so messed up at about 68k they replaced the engine due to poor performance backfiring and leaking oil etc. The sunroof will not latch closed anymore. I went to open it one day and then it wont close. …”
