I bought this 2008 Saturn Astra xr used in 2014 from a car dealership. Within a few weeks I began having problems starting the car. And it stalled while driving. I took it to many repair shops for diagnostics and repairs but after spending hundreds and then thousands of dollars replacing various parts and components it still continued having the same exact problems that all the genius mechanics couldn't figure out the cause. I suspect that the car dealership sold me a trade-in car that was involved in a water flood damage situation and all or most of the hidden wiring and electrical components were probably corroded and rusted. But none of the genius mechanics who worked on my car even suspected that all the problems with my car could've been caused by water flood damage. They just kept replacing many old parts with new parts and charging me lots of money. Please help me find out or figure out if my car was involved in a water flood damage situation that is still causing these starting problems. It takes me 15 minutes to over an hour to start this car each time for all these years since I bought it used in 2014. Today is Friday 3-19-2021, thank you

I'm writing to inquire about recalls on the 2008 Saturn Astra.from day one, the Saturn Astra I owned had problems due to an engine light frequently coming on and issues with the sensors. At one point, one of the cv boots went bad.the replacement required a new driveaxle, due to the problematic design of the car. That issue cost almost $500, even with the mechanic installing used parts. Then just a month later, the ABS light started coming on as the right wheel sensor was bad. Again, due to the cars design, this meant not only a new sensor but a whole new wheel bearing at another $800. From what I have found online, this is a recurring problem with Astras; also, as it disables the ABS and traction control systems, it is a safety issue and thus warrants a recall for safety reasons. It seems clear, from the many similar complaints I have seen online [just go to www.saturnfans.com and put "sensors" in the search box to see tons of them - here's just 1 page from that site: www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php"T=169386 ] that the Saturn Astra should"ve been recalled. Without such a recall, it cost me more than $1300 dollars in repairs. If you look at all the similar related complaints on the Saturn fans website I mentioned, I believe you will see that recalls on the Saturn Astra are warranted, due to these design flaws, safety issues, and sensor problems. Please let me know if you would like any further information or to see documentation of the repairs I had to have done on a car with just 68,000 miles on it, at the time, in a period of just a few months.thank you.
