I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM THE MEDFORD SATURN DEALERSHIP, A 2001 SATURN SC2. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY PUT SLIGHTLY LESS THEN 20,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY SUN ROOF THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD IS BROKEN BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE PLASTIC GLIDERS. I TOOK MY CAR TO SATURN AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THEIR DEFECT AND WANTED OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO LOOKED UNDER MY HOOD AND TOLD ME I HAD OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR THAT THEY WOULD FIX FOR ANOTHER 995.00 DOLLARS. OH, AND IF I WANTED MY SUN ROOF FIXED THEY WOULD GIVE ME A DEAL BUT ONLY IF I HAD THIS OTHER SUPPOSED WORK DONE THEIR AT THE SATURN DEALERSHIP IN MEDFORD, OREGON. I WAS VERY UPSET AND THE MANAGER WOULD NOT SPEAK TO ME. THEN THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE ESTIMATE TO FIX THE SUNROOF AND OTHER SUPPOSED PROBLEMS. I WAS THEN TOLD TO CALL A SPECIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND THEY WOULD HELP. UPON CALLING THIS NUMBER I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER BEFOR CALLING THIS NUMBER THEY GAVE ME. I AGAIN NEVER TALKED TO THE MANAGER BUT THE SAME GUY I ORIGINALLY DEALT WITH AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEN BACK TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON WHO WAS NO HELP AND AGAIN SAID THEY WOULD CUT ME A DEAL BUT ONLY IF I HAD OTHER WORK DONE FIRST AND THEY WANTED 995.00 DOLLARS FOR IT AND THE SUNROOF TO BE REPAIRED. I REFUSED AND THEY WERE NO HELP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY OWN I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS REGARDING SATURN SUN ROOF AND FOUND MORE THEN I WANTED. HELP WHAT DO I DO? CAN YOU HELP ME REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE SUN ROOF.*AK
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN INADEQUATE VENT VALVE WELD ON THE TOP PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL SPILLAGE COULD OCCUR DURING REFUELING OR IF THE VEHICLE WERE INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE FUEL TANK VENT VALVE IS PROPERLY WELDED. IF NECESSARY, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLES, FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 114, "THEFT PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PARK LOCK CABLE ASSEMBLY. IF IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SHIFT FROM THE "PARK" POSITION WITH THE IGNITION KEY REMOVED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH RESULTING FROM THE UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OF PARKED VEHICLES.
Remedy: SATURN IS ASKING OWNERS AND RETAILERS TO PERFORM A FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PARK LOCK CABLE ASSEMBLY OPERATION, AND IF NECESSARY, TO HAVE THE CABLE ADJUSTED. IF OWNERS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE PERFORMING THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK THEMSELVES, THEY CAN HAVE THEIR DEALER PERFORM THIS INSPECTION FOR THEM.
