Re: New Recall and it affects us!
I actually have both scenarios where I can take the key out from run position but also the cylinder randomly doesn't want to let go of the key when in off position! Fortunately it's not a frequent...

Re: Service wrench light

Re: 2003 3.0L rebuild
Wasn't that the Honda engine where Saturn would just pull it if under warranty and send to Honda? I'd think if they were doing it with the Ellesmere 3.0 it'd only be a way to charge more cash!

Umm, if you are talking limited funds you might want to consider the pre-Honda V6 (circa 2003). There really is nothing wrong with it despite what the Honda partisans say! Not as modern or efficient...

Re: Over-weight in 08'
Ummm, I hate to get back on topic here, But if the GM 3.6L uses an iron block (does it?) then maybe that and the xtra transmission mechanism could explain part of the extra weight.
