Car seemed to be running hot added coolent to notice the coolent seemed to be thick with oil. Flushed system added new coolent. Car ran even hotter was told oil in radiator, need to put in new radiator. Did this and problem was not fixed. Was then told heads were cracked. Called Saturn after seeing numerous people on web site with same exact problem. They informed me there was recalls on faulty engine up to 1999 model. And 2000 model. My car year was missed.

June 1999 Saturn sent a notice regarding the cylinder head defect that may occur. They extended warranty to 100,000 miles or 6 years. However knowing there is a defect in their workmanship, I attempted contact with less than 69,000 miles on my Saturn when the cylinder head showed all the signs of a crack. This included oil in the radiator. Saturn accepts no liability for this seeing it out of the six year warranty period. However it is well within the 100,000 mile mileage period.
