If you haven't seen me post before, I have had alot of problems with my RL! I had asked to exchange my car within those first 30 days/1500 miles of ownership, but the dealer refused due to it being a leftover 2004 and Saturn Customer Service stood by this decision. Now after the startings of a law suit, along with filing of the FL Lemon Law, they are finally offering me a return of the car for reduced credit. They haven't given me a figure yet, but they're telling me that it will be quite a bit less than what I still owe for the car. If you plan on buying a 2004 RL from this company, make sure you really want to deal with their Bull! This is my eigth new GM car since 2000 (I have three drivers in the family and like the newest technology), but the first (and last) Saturn!!!
By the way, Saturn has now informed me that they are aware of the clutch overheating and brake stopping issues as inherent design problems, but are not sure of a fix. They even caught the service department in a lie, having authorized and been told they completed a rotor and brake pad change all the way around, when in fact they had not. They flew a Saturn service engineer in and after discussing the issues with me, he shared that there are test engineers driving these vehicles as daily drivers (primarily in Texas and Tennessee) and they are experiencing similar issues as I and others have had.
Sorry if I appear like a whiner, but hopefully my efforts will help some of you when the issues start effecting your ride
