“1995 Saturn SL-2 sunroof failure. Took it into a Saturn, and they quoted 776.00 to replace the guides and stop bumbers. The retail cost of the parts (I looked it up) was 264.38. Their price for parts was 398.00. The remaining was labour - 3.6 hours!**ak previously, I took this car to a Saturn dealer who quoted me $360.00 to replace the temp sensor -- a $12.00 part. I took it to pep boys who replaced the part for 20.00. Saturn's repair dept's prices are highly inflated”
NHTSA complaint #10037065, filed 2003-09“After barely two years, the cruise control began working only intermittently; it now seldom works. Before the car had 50,000 miles, the sunroof would get stuck in the open position whenever it was used. Eventually, after a Saturn dealer claimed it could not replicate the problem, the sunroof became permanently stuck in the open position and had to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #712516, filed 1999-09“Locator switch on sunroof failed causing cables to fail and guides to break. Sunroodf is rarely used this failure should not occur. Cost of parts is way overpriced. Sunroof repair is estimated at $650.00 plus tax. Valve body assembly on transmission is failling as transmission delays and shifts hard through the gears. Part controls the flow of transmission fluid to the gears.”
NHTSA complaint #700285, filed 1998-11“Rear window shattered by itself, throwing glass both inward and outward of vehicle which could have caused injuries. Rear window was not tampered with and no defroster/ heater or air conditioner was being used at the time. Consumer stated that it almost felt like it exploded.”
NHTSA complaint #865808, filed 2000-07“While driving vehicle at 40mph hit tree head-on and there was no deployment of driver's side or passenger's side airbags. Owner notes that in humid weather windows cannot be cleared.”
