| I began bringing my car into saturn before my warranty was even expired to tell them i was having ignition problems. they kept saying not, and fixing other things until my warranty ran out. then they agreed that i was having ingnition problems and fixed it for free, then the same thing happened, and they fixed it for 1/2 price, then the same thing happened and i had to pay full amiount. now it's happening again. i cannot sell this car to anyone, i wouldn't be able to. i brought it in to saturn early after i bought it to see if they could fix the leaking doors , they said they did but i have water damage and leaking in my roof, i gett wet everytime i sit in my car when it rains here in seattle! i have copmlained to the lemon law only to get an answer that saturn will not fix my car anymore. i met with the dealers with another unhappen saturn owner and they said they would only take it back as a trade in, when i went to trade it in they wanted more money, i didn't want to spend alot more $$ on this vehicle that i have had nothing but problems with. now the plastic on the seatbelts, door handles and seat levers are falling off. i think a car should last longer and be more reliable then what i have had to experiance here. i have spent way to much money into this car, as it is my only means of transportation, unless i have to borrow a car from a friend because its in the shop. i am a single, working mom, i need a reliable non-money draining car thank you for your time, if there's anything more i can tell you please contact me.. | |||
