2001 Saturn Sl1 Sedan-low Miles- Donor Or Fixer Car on 2040-cars
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Here we have a 2001 Saturn SL1 Sedan, blue color body with 117,000 miles on it when the engine gave out and it needs a new engine. This car is in excellent exterior shape with all other components working. When you turn on the battery, the lights and air conditioning work fine but when you try to start the engine you will hear farting sounds from the engine. I have owned this car for 10 years and it was a family car, the seats have candy stains on them from children but no pieces missing. This car has passed inspection this April of 2014 when the engine gave out months after, since that I have decided to buy myself a newer car so I am letting this vehicle go to be a donor car or to be fixed.the lights are not fogged and the tires have 60% tread left. Overall the car is an excellent car besides the engine and stained seats. What happened to the engine is the Timing belt broke and messed up the engine, the mechanic said that I needed a new engine but instead just bought myself a newer car. This can make a great donor car with someone that wants to buy a engine for it and continue driving it, all it needs is an engine and a good cleaning of the seats. everything else in this car is good to go.the exterior is in above average condition meaning there is no massive dents or chipping for its age or even dis-coloring, the exterior headlights are not fogged and the overall color of the car is very nice. I am letting this donor car go at a very low reserve price, buyer is responsible for pickup or shipment for this car. payment is due via paypal within 72 hours, please contact me if you are interested and have any other questions.

303 Deaths Tied To Airbag Non-Deployment In 2 General Motors' Cars
Fri, Mar 14 2014At least 303 motorists died in car accidents after their airbags didn't deploy in now-recalled General Motors vehicles, according to a study released late last night. The Center for Auto Safety, a non-profit automotive watchdog, reviewed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, and counted deaths involving the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion, two vehicles at the heart of several ongoing investigations, to reach its conclusion. If the airbag non-deployments were the result of a faulty ignition switch that inadvertently turns them off, the death toll would be the largest in automotive history attributed to a single defect, surpassing the 250 deaths investigators linked to defective Firestone Tires more than a decade ago. The rising death toll would further amplify questions about why GM and federal safety regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn't act sooner to correct the problem. Safety advocates have said both GM and NHTSA failed to act in a timely fashion to alert motorists of the dangers posed by the dangerous defect, of which documents GM had knowledge of as early as 2001 and NHTSA knew about in 2007. "The question today for NHTSA is how so many ... death reports without an airbag deployment and so many FARS deaths without an airbag deployment failed to trigger an investigation," wrote Clarence Ditlow, the executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. "... For the people who died or were seriously injured in crashes, the answer comes too late." GM has acknowledged 13 deaths related to the problem, and says the number cited by the Center for Auto Safety study is "speculation." The review of FARS data, conducted by Friedman Research at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, looked at fatal cases in which airbags did not deploy but did not analyze the causes of the crashes. FARS information is raw data submitted to a national database by state and local authorities when fatal accidents occur. Last month, GM recalled 1.37 million cars in the U.S. because a faulty ignition switch had been inadvertently moving from the "run" position to the "accessory" position, turning off engines and systems that provide power to airbags. "Shame is not a strong enough word," said Lou Lombardo, the founder of Care for Crash Victims, another safety-minded nonprofit that advocates for accident victims. The results of the CAS study were first reported by the New York Times.
Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.
VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*

When the deal to sell Saturn to Penske Automotive fell through, there were likely a lot of surprised people at General Motors' Detroit, MI headquarters. Penske released a statement saying that the reason the deal fell through after months of good faith negotiations was that a suitable post-GM supply of vehicles could not be found. However, after reacquainting ourselves with over eight minutes of outtakes from Jim Gaffigan's old Saturn commercial, we're thinking the comedic pitchman is to blame.
