The side door panels of car are buckling, distorting and melting....paint is bubbling. Due to extreme heat from the sun reflection off house windows claims Saturn. Damage is totaling almost $3,000 continues to get worse everday and is growing across the car panels. Even though it is still under warranty, Saturn will not pay denying it's a warranty issue.
