JohnS, sorry to hear of your problem. In addition to the step you have already taken, I'd also suggest you contact
Saturn or GM Customer Assistance. Contact information should be in your Owner's Manual and is also available online at
http://www.saturn.com/saturn/helpcenter/contact_us.jsp.
Both, please don't condemn *all* Saturn and GM service providers based on your experience -- all that I've gone to
have ranged from acceptable to excellent.
