Coolant Leaking Problems of Saturn SC1

I called Saturn to say my low coolant light came on during a trip. Saturn suggested a pressure test. "Saturn states pressure tested cooling system/no external leaks found/removed cam cover and found a crack in cylinder head at cam#5 journal, causing oil and coolant to mix together/needs new cylinder head,thermostat,water pump,flush of cooling system and oil & filter. " the service invoice states "no oil change per customer request" . I was never asked if I wanted an oil change on 11/28; the fact is I had an oil change at Saturn 11/18!!!! prior to my trip. (I also asked them to check it over well due to the upcoming trip-why wasn't this problem found then?-their response-we weren't looking for that. Ten days later it just apears!!!??? I asked them to change this invoice to note this error, this was not done. I've since taken my car to 3 three private garages, all said this shouldn't have happened. 2 said to get rid of the car. A 3rd said he'd fix it for considerably less, but said Saturn should be the one taking care of this. This is my second Saturn in a row, I doubt I would ever buy another.

Vehicles started consuming excessive amounts of oil around March 2003. Reported to dealer that I purchased the vehicle at. I had regular oil changes. On April 18th 2003 the dealer discovered and had to replace leaking valve seals, carboned piston rings and connecting rod bearings. In Dec. 2003 the vehicle began mixing oil & coolant. Dealer replaced cracked cylinder head costing over $2000. 00. This vehicle is a lemon and should not have needed 2 major engine repairs.
