| Engine runs hot & engine oil mixed with coolant reservoir (replace cylinder head assembly) thats what it states on service bulletin 96-t-65b. from what i've read this happens a lot on 91-97 saturns. our saturn started off by having chocolate milkshake colored foamy-ness in the coolant reservoir (it's had that since we got it 2 years ago so not sure how long it's had this), then it over heated, then the low coolant & coolant temp lights started flashing, then the 2nd spark plug blew out 3 times now (in the last 3 months)! if saturn knows about this why have they not recalled it??? we have got the spark plug repaired now 3 times & not sure where to go from here. | |||

| The consumer was at a stop sign when the vehicle shut down. the consumer started the vehicle, and had not serviced it as of yet. however the radiator was replaced. *ak there was a loud noise in the vehicle. the consumer was informed that a new engine was needed. the #1 cylinder was severely leaking oil and caused a misfire in this cylinder. the spark plugs were bad and needed to be replaced. other problems were: the radiator was leaking, the valve cover gasket was leaking and was replaced and had loosened up again, the rear brakes and drums needed replacement, the sway bar links were bad, the motor mount was bad, the idler pulley needed to be replaced, the gas pedal would stick, four new tires were needed and the horn was inoperative. *sc *jb | |||
