Two problems related to tire blowout have been reported for the 1996 Saturn SL2. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My tire blew out while driving from long beach, CA. To phoenix, az. Which is about six hours away. About an hour outside of phoenix my tire blew out. I lost control of the car and it went off the road and rolled 2 - 3 times. I experienced minor injuries to my head and other places on my body. I also experienced whiplash that affected my memory and concentration.
I was returning to hamilton, mt from having my car in for it's 24,000 service at the Saturn dealer in spokane, wa. I exited I-90 at the liberty lake exit and, as I was approaching the end of the ramp, my passenger side front tire blew out. My speed was approximately 30mph. I informed Saturn of this by telephone 9/14/00. No vehicle damage was done and a tire dealer was a block away so I purchased a new set of tires (dayton). I was not comfortable with continuing to keep the 3 tires that had not blown out on my vehicle. Ak( dot number: tire size: p195/60r15 ).
