One problem related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) has been reported for the 2002 Saturn SL. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While going from a parked position to driving. The car shifted gears very hard to the point it rattled the whole car. I stopped driving and checked the engine and all fluid levels. Everything seemed fine. As I pulled off again it did the same thing each time the automatic transmission shifted gears, this time harder. The mechanic at worked tested the computer and it registered a problem with the egr valve and an unknown code. When I called a certified service center they said they have seen this a bunch of times and that it is a common problem. With this is a common problem, where is the recall to get it fixed.
