1995 Saturn Sl-2 sunroof failure. Took it into a Saturn, and they quoted $776 to replace the guides and stop bumbers. The retail cost of the parts (I looked it up) was $264.38. Their price for parts was $398. The remaining was labour - 3.6 hours!* previously, I took this car to a Saturn dealer who quoted me $360 to replace the temp sensor -- a $12 part. I took it to pep boys who replaced the part for $20. Saturn's repair dept's prices are highly inflated

The vehicle has caused me nothing but problems, it eats oil without any sign of where it is going. The auto belt tightener is not working and cost an arm and a leg to fix. Sunroof broke without any notice or cause, the fan switch never did operate correctly, now it is shifting real hard all the time while your driving, once it is warmed up. This vehicle is definitely a lemon. Ak scc ***dimsii IVOQ posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****744336

After barely two years, the cruise control began working only intermittently; it now seldom works. Before the car had 50,000 miles, the sunroof would get stuck in the open position whenever it was used. Eventually, after a Saturn dealer claimed it could not replicate the problem, the sunroof became permanently stuck in the open position and had to be replaced.

Locator switch on sunroof failed causing cables to fail and guides to break. Sunroodf is rarely used this failure should not occur. Cost of parts is way overpriced. Sunroof repair is estimated at $650 plus tax. Valve body assembly on transmission is failling as transmission delays and shifts hard through the gears. Part controls the flow of transmission fluid to the gears.
