Front passenger interior door handle broke off, completely separating from the moulded interior door panel (it was part of the mould, not an attached piece) in the winter time when the door was closed. It wasn't THAT cold outside!

Stainless steel exhaust is disintegrating now. Loud and throb-y, which is not good in a residential neighbourhood. Too costly to fix, particularly in light of the fact that the A/C failed in 2011 (not spending $900 to fix it), and the BCM (Body Control Module died at the same time, meaning the remote fob doesn't work to open the trunk or doors, and the security system doesn't work.

All the warning lights on the dashboard are permanently on, the gas gauge is pinned on the full mark, the heat gauge is pinned as well. The only things that work are the speedometer and the tachometer. High-level brake light failed (replaced with LEDs), rear right brake/clearance/marker socket has distorted from heat and works unreliably. The catalytic converter shield (aluminium) rotted off, Had to bypass the transmission lock when the BCM failed because it locked the transmission permanently in Park.

As the BCM started to fail, my alarm would go off at night, usually 3 a.m., or the interior lights would come on, or the automatic headlights would activate (while parked with no key) and kill the battery. Having no resources to purchase another car, I've been nursing this one along ever since.

Replaced the rear-right brake slave-cylinder last year when the seal burst, which ruined the pads, so had to do those, too. Rad-core wouldn't supply sufficient cooling (had to run the heater on full in the summer so it wouldn't boil over until I could afford to fix it), so had to replace that as well.

I loved my SL2 Saturn, so I bought the L100 when it was time to replace it. Biggest mistake ever. It worked well in the beginning but it has just fallen apart as it aged. The plastic body LOOKS good, but it conceals utter garbage inside...
