Power Train Problems of Saturn SL

I own a 2002 Saturn Sl vehicle purchased in 7/2016. I'm having problems starting my vehicle. Both starter and battery have both been checked out ok. All spark plugs were replaced on 10/31/18. After these repairs, when started it still made very noisy sounds coming from the engine. Now I can't get it to start at all. I tried to get help about a recall relating to my vehicle's starting problems. I contacted Saturn company 1(800)533-6000 and gm recall center 1(866)694-6546. Neither were willing to help. I found info on the kelley blue book website. I entered my VIN number and following was displayed: NHTSA campaign 03v231; report date: info unavailable; vehicles affected: 239,993; consequence: info unavailable; what you should dealers will (1) replace the ignition control module, (2) replace the ignition control module and spark plugs, or (3) replace the ignition control module, spark plugs, and update the powertrain control module. When parts become available, owners will be advised to contact their dealers for appointments to have their vehicle repaired. Parts should be available during September 2003. Summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2. 2l l4 (l61) engines, a failure of the ignition control module may cause deterioration in idle quality, reduction in overall engine power, and the vehicle may be hard to start. Continued operation of the vehicle after such an ignition module failure will result in the "service engine soon" light flashing, and may lead to secondary failures of the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, and exhaust resonator. Failure of the resonator will cause increased exhaust noise. Prolonged operation of the vehicle following a resonator failure may lead to a fire. * you please help me with finding out if this recall effected my vehicle?.

I came to a complete stop at a stop sign,went to put it first (5speed) and the shifter bushing broke. The shifter was just flopping around. I could have been in serious situation if I was in the city or traveling. Or picking up a senior customer.

The contact owns a 1997 Saturn Sl. The contact stated that he was reversing from a residential driveway when he shifted to first gear and the shifter cable became detached from the shifter lever. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer stated they had to replace two shifter cables. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure and current mileage was 127,000.

Saturn is an l200 series/there was only the LS on your list. Numerous occasions of engine stall while traveling at all speeds. Called Saturn/said VIN not accepted? live in florida keys/had to go to miami & get tail lamp fixed/only lasted two weeks (this was before engine stall) & call to Saturn. Am 69yr old female/afraid to use car/paid for all sorts of repairs/modules/sensors???and more. No one in keys to repair via gm - Saturn said miami only. Roundtrip over 200 miles. Afraid to drive/can't afford another car/must junk and, ofcourse, Saturn said VIN # not under recall for engine or electrical. Is there any way to recoup dollars I paid for any repairs on this car??? so much more than I am listing here. . . . . . Thank you NHTSA.

The vehicle brake rotor warp several times which caused vibration while braking. The dealer replaced the rotors. When the vehicle was moved from a stop the vehicle jerked forward. The vehicle also acts as if it want to stall when sitting idle. The dealer was unable to duplicate either concern. The radio light was inoperative therefore the dealer replaced the radio.
