    This flaw causes head to crack- usually just after warranty expires.

    A cracked engine head while passing another vehicle on a two lane
    highway- IS NO COSMETIC ISSUE. It's a SAFETY issue.

    How Saturn gets away with slapping a warranty on a safety issue is
    beyond me.

    SATURN HAS A HISTORY OF WITHOLDING IMPORTANT FLAW INFORMATION FROM
    ITS OWNERS !

    Also:

    Rear stabilizer link ball joints wear out in a year or two.
    (makes you wonder if the front ball joints are any better!)

    Stainless steel muffler held up with cheap, quickly rusted- out
    metal muffler strap! Ours fell off in two years! (makes you wonder if
    the gas tank strap is any better!)

    Exhaust resonator easily develops cracks. Many dealers will try
    to sell you a new one ($250)instead of welding it up for $15. Traverse
    City, Mi. Saturn is one of them!

    Yeh- Saturn sure is a DIFFERENT car company!

    I had the local Tuffy muffler install an aftermarket resonator for
    approx. $75 last year. '96 SL2 with a perf. exhaust that was too loud
    for the wife. ;+)
