2 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 1998 Saturn SC2

Failure Date: 05/13/2008

Transmission shift cable, just broke while driving. After doing some research, I found this is a very common problem with the Saturn Sc2. The plastic ball that holds the cable in the shift lever commonly breaks. Instead of selling a device to repair the cable, the require you to buy the entire cable that costs around $500. 00.

3 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 1998 Saturn SC2

Failure Date: 05/04/2005

The indicator lights do not work properly. I get the proper maintenance required, yet the oil is now running out everywhere (69,000 mi. ). Why doesn't the warning light come on, or flash - anything to warn me when the oil doesn't even register on the dip stick? I checked the oil, 1 minute later I drove 35 miles at a top speed of 67. The temperature guage wasn't even at the 1/2 way point, but when I stopped the car I could smell the car was hot, & the oil did not register on the dip stick. The only indicator light that works properly is the low fuel. The car has always rattled, & the glove box handle just broke off. The front seat belts do not retract most of the time, causing the strap & buckle to get caught in the door. The passenger seat would slide back when accelerating & forward when braking (seat belt not locking into place either). Now it is stuck in one position. I have taken it to the dealer on 1 occassion for that, at least 2 times for the interior light, 2 times for sensors, & more. To end this, I am distraught at the moment, it appears as if my car has bathed in oil from the middle of the engine, all the way down & all over the underneath of the car. The plug gasket was mangled, changed, & still did not remedy the situation. My only transportation to a job interview this week!.
