Saturn SW Electrical problems by year

This 1997 saturn sw2 has gm's ignition problem. The air bags were blown once this fried the wires below the stearing and now they say this is not. At the time the vehicle was in motion, street, I just pushed it off the road for the 3rd time in 2 weeks and now I may loose everything I have in my life. I can not even get the "fix" for the recalls unless I pay close to $200. For instructions to do it myself. I find this unfair being they should have done this once they knew and not waited for attorneys to say "how many", complaints = lawsuit. I guess I will have to join in if nothing else happens.

Airbag should have been recalled and was in system but not replaced. Ignition problems with fuel not able to reach. Ignition switch wire burned and was recalled prior but not given to my make model. Muffler not able to control exhaust system.

I called saturn of eatontown, nj reporting an electrical problem with the ignition and door bell alarm-it rang constantly. I was told by the service manger not to worry, use a little cw spread; 3 days later, the steering column and ignition caught on fire. Saturn is refusing to honor safety recall tsb # 97-c-02, dated apr 97, titled, "recall-ignition cylinder malfunction." I understand that under federal law a manufacturer-initiated safety recall is equal to a nhtsa safety recall and must be remedied at no cost to the consumer. I thank you for your assistance in this matter. Anthony a. Sessa p. S. I am not sure when my deceased father purchased this vehicle. *Nlm
