Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 saturn sc2 bought 2/04 20,000 orginal miles ....... suporting documents state the car was sitting and not driven prior to purchasing. as of oct 2004 and 30,000 miles there has been a leak in exhaust, checked with saturn dealer and was told i needed a new resonator and pipe dealer wants to charge me approx. $400 to fix, 2nd problem is that my idler pulley is bad and in the process distroying the serpentine drive belt approx. $200 to repair. i feel gm (saturn) need to own up to these common problems with there vehicles and repair them under recall. the nhtsa has a service bullentin on the exhaust problem that just came out oct. 2004 bullentin #040605010 (service procedure for replacement of resonator and intermediate pipe) i also feel a car that has 33,300 miles shouldnt need all of this kind of work done to it when these kind of issues usually happen around 60-70,000 miles on any other normal car. i will never buy another gm product, this is my first especially with this low of milage - this has been a big disappointment and let down. thank you - please put in effect a recall for these issues..... i think gm customers have spent enough on repairs. i very unhappy first saturn (gm) owner. *ak |
