“I parked my 1996 Saturn sc2 along a street and went into work. When I was headed out to my car a few hours later, I heard a car horn that sounded like it was about to fail. I soon realized that it was my car's horn that was sounding. I entered the vehicle and tried to quiet the horn by pressing the horn buttons. Nothing happened. I opened the hood on the car to see if there was anything I could do to stop the horn from sounding. Although the horn was very weak by now, it was still sounding. I dropped the hood closed, and the horn stopped. …”

“This has been an ongoing problem with Saturn generally and Saturn (galles) of albuquerque, nm specifically. 3 separate times they have wrecked my engine! This has been due to oil leakage into the spark plugs and the valve gasket cover is warped. This has yet to have been corrected properly by Saturn. I have now taken it to another mechanic who is able to fix it correctly. It has not caused a safety isuue...yet.”
