Gasoline Engine Problems of Saturn SL2

We noticed that sometimes the car was engine was racing when coming to a stop and you have to hold extra pressure on the bake pedal to keep the car from moving forward. The idle speed increases from a normal 750 rpm to approximately 1750 rpm while in neutral, intermediately, sometimes right after starting the car, sometimes after driving for a while. The car engine when it does this will exceed 1100 rpm while in drive with your foot on the brake. The car was taken to the dealer numerous times under while under warranty and one time specifically while it was exhibiting the high idle and no cause was discovered, no parts replaced; the problem still exists today. The dealer is unable to find the problem, even though we took it in while the engine was high idling.

I wish the state had more stringent lemon laws. I will have had to bring my car in for repairs 5 times now, and I feel that is ridiculous for a car ive only had for 6 months. There are problems that exist now and have reoccurred or probably will. Saturn should definitely produce but better cars if they want people to buy them. . . I certainly won't buy another one or any gm product. I have not contacted Saturn directly because I know that they won't do anything about it as I had dealings with another Saturn. Furthermore, bringing the car to the dealer seems to be a hassle. I have to go out of my way to get my "lemon car" fixed repeatedly for minor problems which are really annoyances. No defect mentioned in summary.
