Drivers seat slides backwards without using the "adjustment lever". Sometimes just backing up at 3-5 mph, also at hwy speeds. Also slides backwards after being adjusted by the driver-always adjusted while parked, never moving. Also, seatbelts worked fine until recall notice (99-2000/"repaired" by jim butler south county Saturn, st louis, mo) then would not retract, must feed belts back into slot; will not return to dealer, as too many bad experiences w/this dealership. Approx 2002-03 (approx 80-100k miles) started using 2 qts oil per month, now uses 3+ qts per month minimum. Approx 2009 started using enigine coolant excessively; must carry extra qts oil, 1 gallon engine coolant in car at all times, checking at every fuel fill-up or before leaving home. Battery dead oct 2011, replaced-still loses charge overnight;changed spark plugs, fuses, ignition-could remove key while car still running while stopped. Still sitting in driveway as cannot figure out elec problem. 206k mi. Purch 10-96 with 13 mi on it.
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!.
