Power Train · reported Sep 10, 2008
Brushing on my 2001 saturn broke while I was driving, leaving me stuck in 3rd gear. I have searched online, and found that is a very common problem, and saturn refuses to sell the defective part, opting to charge their customers over $200 for a $0.30 part.

Check engine light on diagnosed codes found 34 1,300 and 507 vvb present. Diagnosed further found intake manifold gasket leak. Replaced take manifold gasket. Did a goodwill split on cost. On march 14 2005 the same problem came up had to replace manifold gasket. The repair this time had to pay $100 for repair. Saturn paid for the rest of the repairs. I feel I should be reimbursed in full for both repairs, and there should be a recall on the 2001 saturn sli
