    2.5 month ago I bought a used Saturn SL2 (30,000 miles when bought). A
    week ago I noticed that the clutch seemed to slip under acceleration.
    Took the car back to the dealer and was told that "Quill bearing
    leaked, ruined the clutch" - $1800. I have only driven the car 2850
    miles since I bought it from the dealer, however CT lemon law only
    forces the dealer to cover the car for 3000 miles or 60 days - I am on
    day 72. The dealer doesnt want to do anything to help (well, actually -
    they said, they will "think about it"). My question is can I do
    anything ? Call the factory, the rep ? Have people seen this type of
    failure so early ?

    Didn't the car have a new car 3 year/36k mile warranty when originally sold
    new? Are you sure that has expired from the original sale date?

    3 yr has passed (this is 2001 car). The dealer checked. No warranty. I
    called Saturn customer assistance, they said they will "try to help"
    ....
