Saturn Horror Stories!!!

Here are a bunch of Horror stories that have been sent to me from out of
the blue! I cant understand how or why people keep buying Saturns when
all these people send me their unsolicited Horror Stories!

None of these stories have been followed up on or questioned nor are
they well written! All stories are factual because their taken at face
value. Thats what makes them true! People find the newsgroups to
difficult to use but they know how to find me and email me their Saturn
car abuses...I mean horror stories.

I include email addresses with each story so that strangers get spam...I
mean so these stories look real...I mean so these stories will be taken
as facts! Again, no follow up questions are asked to verify the stories
because I am not an automotive technician and I refuse to understand the
issues. I know nothing about cars or car care, which makes me the
perfect person to have a distorted vendetta against Saturn.


-Dood i was like going down the road smoke'n some reefer when all da
sud'n this big rook came out of no where and tore up the underside of my
Saturn. i was all pessed-n-sheet and when i had it towd to Saturn they
wanted like 3000 bucks to fix it man. i was like f that man. The toyot i
had would of never tore up on that big bold..er..rock i mean man. then
not long after that they found my stash man and i had to goto court and
now im in jail. all this happend becuz of saturn!


-I came home from the grocery store a week ago and had forgotten to take
out the grape juice. Yesterday I found the grape juice had broke and
spilled all over the trunk of my Saturn and I cant get the grape juice
stains out of my carpet now! This has everything to do with Saturn and
their cheap ass carpet! If this was any other carpet the stains would
come right out! The dealership wont do anything about it other than to
sell me new carpet! What the hell is the point of buying a car if Saturn
wont hold my hand for me and take care of every trivial thing that is my
fault! I WONT BE BUYING ANOTHER SATURN!


-I had my 99 saturn for 120k miles and I never had to do anything to it
except change the oil and put on new tires. 2 weeks ago it started
running very rough and hasnt stopped. Is this the famous cracked head
symptom I keep hearing about from a bunch of no nothings? This must be a
cracked head because there are a bunch of post I found during a search
for cracked heads. That many post found must mean that many heads have
cracked. I'll diagnose it later...add this one to the count for cracked
heads even though mine is unsubstantiated.


-I took my car into a shop yesterday for an oil change and my car was
running fine with only 35k miles on it. They told me I needed my brakes
completely overhauled along with new front brake drums and that it would
cost 2000 bucks. I was upset but told them ok and to it. I didnt ask to
see the parts or for them to verify the problems by showing me but I'm
still going to write to you misterfag so you can post this as factual
information that my car needed new brakes at 35k miles. Also I would
like to be on every spam mailing list so dont edit my email addy.



I will try to post these horror stories every month or more...whenever
PMS hits me or I have one of my mood swings caused by extreme mental
problems.

 

I learned a very valuable lession two years ago. When does a $99
break pad replacement cost almost 300 bucks? When a Saturn dealership
does it.

As for saturn mishaps, or dislikes, I would highly recommend you start
a forum. This way you don't have to scare saturn owners, like myself,
by posting in this forum, and you don't post emails for worms to
collect.

These horror stories sound superfluous to me; if that's the best ( or
worst ) Saturn ain't half bad, you know ?

I'm a pessimist, I see saturn as "ain't half good"




later,

tom

 

Nope. You're a plant from a wannabe

 

I've have/had two saturns. One was great(96 SL2), served us great
150k miles, minimial work needed and sacraficed itself to protected my
wife while being hit by a tool utility truck, driver ran a red light.
My saturn stood strong and toss the truck, flipping it a few times.
May she rest in peace.

Now my other saturn (97 SL2), geez.... first summer frequent stalls,
unreliable. Several dealerships checked it, nothing found to cause
it, but they had all the codes saying the engine was dying. 'Stall
codes'? It seemed everytime I had to bring the car in for
examinations for why it was now stalling, dealerships could find
nothing, but often found other things. "hey oil leak $200 bucks to
fix", "your break pads are wearing uneven, so you need a full break
job almost $300(found out they only changed the pads), hey muffler
moutnt fell off, need to weld , etc, etc,... It only has 62k miles.


Now can you see why from my experiences, only half good?

Damn I miss my 96 SL2.

It's obvious you're an impostor. Everyone knows the name isn't misterfag,
it's misterfukt!

 

mistergagginonafag sounds closer.

 

04 AWD V-6 Vue with Honda drivetrain. Had rear link recall at 2000k , rear
RDM was shot & needed to be replaced at 6000km,s. Unbelievable vibration
from rear hanger bearing support bracket at 10k & that,s gotta be replaced.
Windshield sounds like pellets hitting it & needs to be re-caulked at 11 k
miles. Honda Trannie grade logic control is acting up & car is shuddering
violently at 14,000k! Otherwise a great vehicle!

 

SATURNS SUCK SATURNS SUCK SATURNS SUck saturns.... wha?

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEP.....This is a test this is only a test of the
emergency trolling system. Had this been a real trolling incident the
proper thing would be to ignore the troll and go about your life...

Thats pretty good.

You guys seemed to have missed that all of this was a joke and a parody
of a real fag/troll that keeps popping up in here to get his jollies.
All of the stories in my previous post were as real as his. (As in made
up.) It should of been real obvious. I guess I dont know my own
powers... ;-)

 

Do you want some Toyota horror stories, or Nissan horror
stories, or VW horro stories? I have a few personal ones for
those brands. Based on my personal experience, only an idiot
would buy a Toyota, or Nissan, or VW.

Toyota?

<scratching head>

:\

 

Do you think people don't have problems with Toyotas? Toyota has one of the
wors Customer service policies of any companyy on the planet. They
practically invented the "it your fault, not ours" excuse for problems. My
ex had a '83 Cressida. It was the worst POS I've every been associated with.
Expensive, technologically backwards, unreliable, bad paint, horrible
transmission, crummy electricals, third rate A/C, etc., etc.. The only good
thing I can say about the car is that a Toyota drone bought it from me.
Ordinarily, I would assume we just got a bad one, but I've worked with too
many Toyota owners to think that Toyotas are anything special.

Look at http://kdka.com/consumer/local_story_154174957.html - Toyota had 3
vehicle in the top 25 in 2003. These numbers are not adjsuted for compalints
per 1000 vehicles sold, but are just raw numbers. Considering that the
Toyota vehicles listed are sold in relatively small numbers compared ot many
in the list, doesn't that make you wonder?
