This vehicle was previously repaired approx. 1 1/2 years ago. The engine was rebuilt because of a cracked cylinder which allowed the oil and coolant to mix. This November 2001 the same problem occurred once more. A cracked cyclinder head, oil and coolant mixed. Saturn corp. Paid for 1/2 ($720) the cost of the repair but the dealership refused to pay the other half. Has this problem been reported with other same or similar models?.
It appears this vehicle has a cracked head ,water is mixing in the oil. Low coolant light came on ,checked level resavoir down to 1 inch. Filled with 2 quarts. Light came on next day same fluid level. Pulled dip stick and noticed the water oil mixture. Vehicle had been serviced since new by Saturn dealer under contract. Waiting for estimate. This seems to be the same problem that was experienced on earlier models wher the warranty was extended to six years/100,000 miles.
