THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED. THE FIRST ONE WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE, SECOND ONE WAS INSTALLED 09/17/2004, WHICH WAS PUT ON BACKWARDS BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH CAUSED MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO CRACK IN SEVERAL PLACES AND THE THIRD CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS INSTALLED ON 03/03/2005, SIX MONTHS AFTER THE SECOND ONE. I HAVE STRONG EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED THE SATURN DEALERSHIP WHY SO MANY CONVERTERS ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND THEY TELL ME IT'S EITHER CHEAP GAS OR LACK OF TUNE-UPS. THEY WANT $2,000.00 TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AND ANOTHER CONVERTER. ALSO, MY HEAD LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR, SO WHEN I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT, I HAD THE DEALERSHIP DO A HISTORY SUMMARY ON THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE FIRST OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT NEVER HAD BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, ONCE CAR WAS WARM, I STARTED HEARING A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MECHANIC RAN AN EMISSIONS TEST AND DETERMINED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A SATURN DEALER, ALTHOUGH I HAD NO MORE WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT ONCE THEY INSTALLED THE GASKET, THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE AND THE CAR WAS NOW UNDRIVEABLE AS THE MANIFOLD ITSELF WAS WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (INCLUDING ANOTHER GASKET AS THE 1ST WAS DAMAGED BY TRYING TO INSTALL IT ON A WARPED MANIFOLD). THE CAR HAS APX 58,000 MILES. SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ONE DO THIS BEFORE AND ONLY EXPLANATION FOR IT HAPPENING WAS EXTREME HEAT, YET THIS ENGINE HAS NEVER OVERHEATED; OIL IS CHANGED AS SOON AS LIGHT COMES ON. LUCKY I DID NOT INCUR MAJOR DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OR THE ENGINE...
