Shame on her for lack of maintenance. The known problem should have been managed better.
Had a Jeep 3.8 that would guzzle a quart every 1,000 miles. Would check every 1K miles and add a quart. Was a trouble free vehicle for 7 years until selling it.
Not giving a pass to Saturn by any means...
I disagree. The snow ball is rolling down hill when it comes to emissions and safety features. Will party changes slow it down, sure but we are evolving/devolving… however you view it.
I don’t mind this feature so much but just why complicate things. Do have a problem with one more potential...

Phantom Vibrating Syndrome. It's a thing. Oh how far have we fallen. haha
Saturn had locked prices right?
Porsche is interesting. Typically graded very high on reliability scores. I know no one who keeps them with high miles and usually a second vehicle. Curious who the people are rating them. Love to hear some high mileage stories.
Ever seen that show wheeler...
I thought about this as well. My comment was short sided. Just thinking, how long does an average new car buyer keep it? Lets say 7 years. The original owner would never know if the lifespan was 10 years. Would think it's a great reliable car and buy again. Not everyone is as educated as you and...
(American) Car manufactures do NOT want you driving the same vehicle for 10 years plus. They want your money right now and later.
There is a conspiracy theory vehicles are built to a "point". Probably some truth to that.
Have her autograph somewhere in my house. My brother went to her house for dinner a few years back. Super nice lady according to him. She “racked” up quite a “large” following in the early 90s. LOL!
Any GTX's with 440 4 speed? That would make me drool. Sadly classic mussel cars are out of reach for normies like me.
Did see a Yanko convertible Camaro yesterday. Probably not a real Yanko but looked cool.
That was me by the way. :p Lol.
Usually stick with dot 3. 4 can be used but supposedly draws more water over time. I don’t think 5 is comparable. These are not sports cars.
Ready to hear some points ether way.
Thanks.
I agree with most of this. Kind of surprised spark plugs and pcv on this list. Get the cheap preventative maintenance part. Thought modern plugs are good for 100k. The PCV, have changed this on other vehicles but is the rams unique? Usually don’t mess with this till it breaks.
Maybe the belt...
I attributed a lot of this to the 8 speeds efficiency. My 17 before installing 35" tires averaged 14 to 15, 90% interstate driving at an average of 75MPH.
Quite impressive and thanks for sharing.
