Arrow God Damn Car!

Well guys... I'm sure alot of you know about my issues with my RL... Well I had the thing a week today and the SES light came back on last night!!!!!!!! Service has told me that there is nothing else they can do and they are contacting Saturn Corp... Now, we need your advice. We want a refund so we can go get something else. We have a feeling that they are going to try and buy back the car and then we have no car and have to start the financing head ache all over again and we think that is when they are going to try and sucker us into buying another one with them. What do you guys think... We need all the help we can get!!!!!!! I'M PISSED I CAN'T KEEP MY CAR!

If you still like the RL (which it sounds like you do), when they buy it back, tell them to give you a good deal on an 05/06. MUCH less problems with those years. Pretty much anyone with problems on this board have 04s. That'd be my suggestion at least. And I would think they'd have to buy back your car at a pretty reasonable price, a price that should buy you an 05 now....

If you tell em what you want, trust me, they'll find you it.

When I was looking, my local dealer was searching the whole eastern seaboard for a new '04 (in the '05 model year), found one in Harrisburg, PA (3 hours away), but I ended up going used haha.

since they're going through saturn corp, my suggestion is to tell them fi they want to sell you another car, have one shipped there. and if not, order one from the closest place you can and drive to pick it up or have it shipped to you :P

OLD TREAD-

Well, I wish I knew about this site sooner... I was beging to think that I was the only one with a REDLINE. At least in the states of Maine & NH I am
I LOVE my Redline, however, my Redline doesn't love me. I bought it last year. Saw it at the fair and fell in LOVE! My husband taught me how to drive a stick and I bought it the next day. I did not know untill the other week that I have the "Fully loaded" Redline because like I said, I am the only one around here that ownes one. I have had problems with the car since day 2!!! I just got my car back from service the day before yesterday. They had it 17 days... THE 13TH FRIGGIN TIME ITS BEEN BACK FOR SERVICE!!!!!!!! I only have 17,000 miles on the thing too!!! Every damn thing you can think of to go wrong with it has gone wrong... From serious to just friggin plain crazy stuff!!!! The 2nd day I had it my sister was driving it and we were going I'd say about 60mph and the friggin thing just shut off... I'm not talking about stauling... IT DIED!!!!!!! Steerling wheel locked up and the gages died... EVERYTHING... I thank GOD my sister was driving it and not me because I would have crashed it. I called Saturn right up and told them and they had no idea what would make it do it!!!!! Like I said... Have had the car a year and it has shut off like that I'd say about 8 times. Because it won't happen when Saturn has it they can't find the problem to fix it so they told me I was Sh&*T out of luck!!! It has been for the cam shaft seal..> Thermostat (3 times) Blower motor.. Body control modular, igintion switch... I saw someone was talking about their radio not working when the radio lights are on and the cd players works... WELL THAT TOO!! They have to replace the WHOLE unit!!! I have had an extra bolt that got stuck in the linkage and locked it into 1st gear... No heat on the COLDEST DAYS OF THE YEAR!! We don't know what to do anymore... Saturn of Westbrook keeps sticking their heads up there A&& and saying that the car just needs a few "adjustments"... Saturn CORP won't help us... I told them in "unnice" terms that we want the car taken back and give us a new one... WELL THE THING ABOUT THAT... I HAVE THE ONLY ONE IN NEW ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!! LUCKY ME RIGHT!!!!!! Some one PLEASE give me some advise because I LOVE my car but the thing is a LEMON but I don't have the heart to give it up because I won't be able to get another one!!!!!!!!![/

sounds its just a lemon, have them find you a new 05 and if you can make a deal you can get a straight trade or poss pay just a tad more depending on what they will give ya. tell them what you want and be very nice and considerate. kindness kills if they start to get mean with yeah ask for the corp. number and let them know you are not fooling around. just remember let them get out of hand first, if you remain calm you can get just about anything you want.

I would LOVE an 05 but I have a feeling they will have a hard time finding one anywhere around here... I will call and have them start looking.
