Saturn Sw 1997 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
