after less than 3 years and at 74k miles my saturn SL2 blew a rod causing a
5 inch diameter hole in the engine. I was told that it was for a lack of oil yet we brought that car to the dealership for all maint. The engine light never came on and there was no oil stains on my parking space. We received a letter from Saturn stating that the vehicle is made of man made materials and that they can fail at times. Seems like saturn cannot stand behind their product..yet they advertise "people first" and " a diferent kind of company-A different kind of car" what a joke...we bought this vehicle specifically for its safety and durability...and we were told that as long as we did the scheduled maint. the car would last and run a long time....anybody ever heard of such a thing or expierienced it....?- posted
