Saturn Astra 2008 Reports


My wife was raising her 2007 Aura seat up and heard a loud pop. The left rear seat attachment point weld snapped.

My 2001 SC2 has issues with shifting into Reverse and Drive when it is cold out. Also, now it feels like its going to stall when I break. What could be causing this? Is the transmission going? Is there any way to fix this? The car has 166K miles,

shifting lever broke cant shift any more

going down the road the car passlock come on the car will stop & will not start . you have to erased codes then it will start.

After 1994 saturn sl2 gets to cruising temp. it starts stalling out at stops. Its like it has a dead spot upon take off.

yes one more 98 SL2 that has had this button pop out while parked .   Does GM need to hear that one of these cars accidently rolled down a street and killed a kid to realize this issue is unacceptable?  They need to make these by the thousands

2004 Saturn Vue AWD when vehicle is cold and I press on gas pedal it won't go over 10 mph for the first couple times I stop after that it runs fine.

key will not turn in ignition

At 85,000 miles my engine is knocking loud and ready to die and I just put in a new alternator for 2004 Saturn Vue.

staurn sl2 automatic sutck in 3rd gear, when this happens, the radio dont work, the electric door locks dont work, and the rear defrost dont work, changed battery but no change

When braking my Saturn 2003 Vue there is a thum-thump-thump sound that seems to be coming from the rear. I have had this checked out at the same GMC dealership three different times. The springs on the rear brakes were weak and replaced. The rear

All the lamps in the cluster are flickering on and off And the turn signal lamps stay on when you put the key in and turn to first position. what could be the problem does anyone know ?
