2001 saturn sc with faulty ignition. Key binds when starting the car it also falls out of the ignition switch when driving. Key has been grinding down because of the faulty cylinder. This is a hazard and danger to anyone who drives this vehicle. I called gm and they said there is nothing they can do because it has not been formally recalled. I wanted a case opened and told them if anything happens because of this defective design i will seek restitution. The sr. Advisor was not helpful and tried to dismiss me as quickly as possible. Gm is not stepping up to the plate to stand by their vehicles or their customers. Poor design, poor quality, poor support = bodily harm, more lawsuits and no more customers! *tr

My daughter katie was driving her car around a curved exit ramp when the steering seemed to fail. The car veered wildly back and forth, and the brakes were unresponsive as well. She made minor corrections to the steering until it finally began to straighten out. Then a fox ran across the road, she jerked reflexively, and the car veered into a ditch and rolled. Luckily she was uninjured except for scrapes, however the car was totaled - windshield smashed, roof smashed, passenger side smashed, and so on. Had there been a passenger there would have been a serious injury. *tr

I bought a new 2000 sc1. The warranty period ended in may of this year. Today i had to have the head gasket replaced. This is a very expensive repair on a car with less than 75000 miles. The repairman at saturn said he had never replaced a head gasket on a saturn in 14 years with the company. They also found carbon deposits in the motor that the repairman was suprised to see. The repair department stated that their findings were inconclusive in determining if the gasket was defective. This car was advertised using two employees driving around the country to see how many dependable miles they could get on the car without an unscheduled repair. I think at one time they were at two million miles. If they really feel their car is that dependable i think they should pay for this unscheduled repair at 73000 miles. The advertising, which lead me to purchase the car was very misleading. I had expected to drive a lot more than this before having to consider a repair this costly. My experience has taught me to look past the advertising lies and hipe they use to instill false confidence in their product. I would like saturn to reimburse me for the cost of this repair because the repairmen lead me to believe this condition was very unusual. *nm
