Saturn Horror Stories!!!

Here are a bunch of Horror stories that have been sent to me from out of the blue! I cant understand how or why people keep buying Saturns when all these people send me their unsolicited Horror Stories!

None of these stories have been followed up on or questioned nor are they well written! All stories are factual because their taken at face value. Thats what makes them true! People find the newsgroups to difficult to use but they know how to find me and email me their Saturn car abuses...I mean horror stories.

I include email addresses with each story so that strangers get spam...I mean so these stories look real...I mean so these stories will be taken as facts! Again, no follow up questions are asked to verify the stories because I am not an automotive technician and I refuse to understand the issues. I know nothing about cars or car care, which makes me the perfect person to have a distorted vendetta against Saturn.

-Dood i was like going down the road smoke'n some reefer when all da sud'n this big rook came out of no where and tore up the underside of my Saturn. i was all pessed-n-sheet and when i had it towd to Saturn they wanted like 3000 bucks to fix it man. i was like f that man. The toyot i had would of never tore up on that big bold..er..rock i mean man. then not long after that they found my stash man and i had to goto court and now im in jail. all this happend becuz of saturn! snipped-for-privacy@p00poohead.com

-I came home from the grocery store a week ago and had forgotten to take out the grape juice. Yesterday I found the grape juice had broke and spilled all over the trunk of my Saturn and I cant get the grape juice stains out of my carpet now! This has everything to do with Saturn and their cheap ass carpet! If this was any other carpet the stains would come right out! The dealership wont do anything about it other than to sell me new carpet! What the hell is the point of buying a car if Saturn wont hold my hand for me and take care of every trivial thing that is my fault! I WONT BE BUYING ANOTHER SATURN! snipped-for-privacy@wackoo.com

-I had my 99 saturn for 120k miles and I never had to do anything to it except change the oil and put on new tires. 2 weeks ago it started running very rough and hasnt stopped. Is this the famous cracked head symptom I keep hearing about from a bunch of no nothings? This must be a cracked head because there are a bunch of post I found during a search for cracked heads. That many post found must mean that many heads have cracked. I'll diagnose it later...add this one to the count for cracked heads even though mine is unsubstantiated. snipped-for-privacy@JUMPER.com

-I took my car into a shop yesterday for an oil change and my car was running fine with only 35k miles on it. They told me I needed my brakes completely overhauled along with new front brake drums and that it would cost 2000 bucks. I was upset but told them ok and to it. I didnt ask to see the parts or for them to verify the problems by showing me but I'm still going to write to you misterfag so you can post this as factual information that my car needed new brakes at 35k miles. Also I would like to be on every spam mailing list so dont edit my email addy. snipped-for-privacy@ss.pnko

I will try to post these horror stories every month or more...whenever PMS hits me or I have one of my mood swings caused by extreme mental problems.

I learned a very valuable lession two years ago. When does a $99 break pad replacement cost almost 300 bucks? When a Saturn dealership does it. :(

As for saturn mishaps, or dislikes, I would highly recommend you start a forum. This way you don't have to scare saturn owners, like myself, by posting in this forum, and you don't post emails for worms to collect.

These horror stories sound superfluous to me; if that's the best ( or worst ) Saturn ain't half bad, you know ?

I've have/had two saturns. One was great(96 SL2), served us great

150k miles, minimial work needed and sacraficed itself to protected my wife while being hit by a tool utility truck, driver ran a red light. My saturn stood strong and toss the truck, flipping it a few times. May she rest in peace.

Now my other saturn (97 SL2), geez.... first summer frequent stalls, unreliable. Several dealerships checked it, nothing found to cause it, but they had all the codes saying the engine was dying. 'Stall codes'? It seemed everytime I had to bring the car in for examinations for why it was now stalling, dealerships could find nothing, but often found other things. "hey oil leak $200 bucks to fix", "your break pads are wearing uneven, so you need a full break job almost $300(found out they only changed the pads), hey muffler moutnt fell off, need to weld , etc, etc,... It only has 62k miles.

Now can you see why from my experiences, only half good? ;)

Damn I miss my 96 SL2. :)

04 AWD V-6 Vue with Honda drivetrain. Had rear link recall at 2000k , rear RDM was shot & needed to be replaced at 6000km,s. Unbelievable vibration from rear hanger bearing support bracket at 10k & that,s gotta be replaced. Windshield sounds like pellets hitting it & needs to be re-caulked at 11 k miles. Honda Trannie grade logic control is acting up & car is shuddering violently at 14,000k! Otherwise a great vehicle!

Do you want some Toyota horror stories, or Nissan horror stories, or VW horro stories? I have a few personal ones for those brands. Based on my personal experience, only an idiot would buy a Toyota, or Nissan, or VW.

Do you think people don't have problems with Toyotas? Toyota has one of the wors Customer service policies of any companyy on the planet. They practically invented the "it your fault, not ours" excuse for problems. My ex had a '83 Cressida. It was the worst POS I've every been associated with. Expensive, technologically backwards, unreliable, bad paint, horrible transmission, crummy electricals, third rate A/C, etc., etc.. The only good thing I can say about the car is that a Toyota drone bought it from me. Ordinarily, I would assume we just got a bad one, but I've worked with too many Toyota owners to think that Toyotas are anything special.

- Toyota had 3vehicle in the top 25 in 2003. These numbers are not adjsuted for compalintsper 1000 vehicles sold, but are just raw numbers. Considering that theToyota vehicles listed are sold in relatively small numbers compared ot manyin the list, doesn't that make you wonder? Ed
