Common Saturn Sl problems
Saturn SL cars have been known for their reliability and durability, but like any other vehicle, they can experience certain problems over time. Here are some of the most common issues reported by Saturn SL owners based on the search results:
- Water Temp Sensor: A faulty water temperature sensor can cause the engine to have difficulty idling while at a stop or in neutral. Replacing the sensor can potentially fix this issue.
- Motor and Transmission Mounts: The motor and transmission mounts in Saturn SL cars can wear out around 150,000 miles, causing various problems. Replacing these mounts can help minimize issues and keep the car running smoothly.
- Fuel Filter: The fuel filter in Saturn SL cars is located along the driver's side front fender. Replacing this filter can help maintain the car's performance and fuel efficiency.
- Idle Pulley Bearings: Idle pulley bearings can wear out around the 200,000-mile mark, causing issues with the engine's idle. Replacing the pulley and belt can help address this problem.
- Valve Body: The valve body on the top of the transmission can cause hard shifting issues. This problem is best addressed by a professional due to the small parts involved.
- Valve Cover Gasket: The valve cover gasket can blow, causing oil leaks. Replacing the gasket can help fix this issue.
- Suspension and Steering Components: Over time, suspension and steering components in Saturn SL cars can wear out, causing issues with handling and ride quality. Regular inspections and replacement of worn parts can help maintain the car's performance.
- Interior Components: Some Saturn SL owners have reported issues with interior components, such as door seals, seats, and internal finishes, not holding up as well as the engine and transmission systems. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn parts can help address these issues.
- High Mileage and Sensor Failures: As Saturn SL cars age, they may experience reduced fuel efficiency, a slightly rougher ride, and higher maintenance costs due to high mileage and sensor failures.
It's important to note that not all Saturn SL cars will experience these issues, and regular maintenance can help prevent or address many of these problems.
How many miles will a Saturn SL2 last?
How long does a Saturn SL2 engine last? Saturn engines were generally reliable and long-lasting. A 2002 Saturn SL2 came with an I4 engine that made 124 horsepower and 122 lb-ft of torque. With regular oil changes and smooth driving, you can expect the SL2's engine to last at least 200,000 miles.
Do Saturn cars last long?
Unfortunately, that means that most Saturns only have a few more years left in them, even though Saturns can function well past 200,000 miles on the odometer. Older Saturns, especially the ones that are approaching 20 years old or older, should only be expected to last for another 3-5 years at most.
Are old Saturns good cars?
Plus, for the most part, the cars were fairly reliable. Twin-cam models were consistently solid and although single-cam engines from 1992 to 1998 occasionally developed cylinder head cracks, that issue seemed to only affect a small percentage of Saturns.
How many miles does a 2008 Saturn last?
Best Answer
Some drivers have reported 150,000 or more miles of trouble free driving.

Saturn Sl 2001
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-08
- Date Complaint: 2024-01-15
- VIN: 1G8ZJ52771Z
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: The problem is with the Firestone Tempa Spare T115/70 R14 spare tire. This tire came with the car when new, and has never been used. Tire date of manufacture is 42 2000. I periodically check its air pressure, but it has never been out of the spare tire well. I checked the pressure 1 week ago, and found a large bulge in the tread, along with broken cords, both steel, and polyester (see photos). The inner tire liner has not ruptured, and the tire still holds air. One month ago I checked the pressure, and it looked completely normal. If I had a flat tire then, I would have put it on the car without hesitation. I suspect that it would have failed on the road leading to a possible disaster. My reason for alerting NHTSA is that I suspect there are many compact spare tires in people's trunks, in the same condition, just waiting to cause trouble. I brought it to a Firestone store and they showed no interest in it. I have removed the tire from the steel wheel, and you are welcome to have it to inspect. I live about 25 miles south of Chicago, IL. When you look at the attached photos, numbers 1-3 show the tire on the steel wheel with the tire inflated, number 4 shows the tire deflated, and off the wheel.

Saturn Sl 1999
- Date Of Incident: 2020-05-01
- Date Complaint: 2020-06-19
- VIN: 1G8ZK5274XZ
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: I JUST RECEIVED A 1999 SATURN SL 2 SERIES A YEAR AGO FROM MY MOTHER FOR MY VERY FIRST CAR. I GOT IT AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES AND IT IS NOW CURRENTLY AT 122,446. I NOTICED ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHILE I WOULD BE DRIVING, USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 1-2 MILES AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR AND DRIVING, MY GEARS BEGAN TO SLIP. I KEPT UP WITH JUST ABOUT MONTHLY OIL CHANGES, ACCOMPANIED BY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED AND TOPPED OFF. MY TRANSMISSION OIL HAS NEVER BEEN LOW. THEN, ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO I WENT TO LEAVE FROM MY WORK ORIENTATION, AND I COULDN?T BACK UP MY CAR FROM MY PARKING SPOT, THE REVERSE HAD WENT OUT. SO I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE, THEN BACK TO REVERSE THINKING MAYBE IT DIDN?T GO INTO REVERSE ALL THE WAY AND IT DID NOT WORK. I REVVED UP THE ENGINE, NOTHING HAPPENING UNTIL I DID IT PRETTY HARD, AND EVENTUALLY IT STARTED ROLLING BACK A LITTLE. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS WAS A PRETTY BIG ISSUE OR NOT, AND I REALIZE I SEE IT A LOT IN 1999 SATURNS. A RECALL I BELIEVE WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE AND WOULD FURTHER PREVENT PEOPLE FROM SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND IT?S CURRENTLY SITTING THERE NOW. I DON?T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE A SMALL PART THAT JUST NEEDS REPLACED, BUT I?M SURE THEY?RE GOING TO JUST HAVE ME PURCHASE A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH IS NOT WHAT I PREFER TO DO AS A 18 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT. ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR WAS ONLY 700$ THAT I PURCHASED IT FOR. *TR
