One problem related to engine head gasket failure has been reported for the 1996 Saturn SL. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I noticed that the temperature gauge would go 3/4 towards the red. If I am stopping at a light, the temperature gauge keep going 3/4 towards the red, then goes back very Slowly to the middle. I have been informed that I would need to replace my gasket. This would cost approximately $1,200.
