Problem overview

Some Saturn SL owners report experiencing unexpected movement issues after replacing the starter. These problems may be linked to transmission issues, so it's essential to verify that the transmission is functioning correctly following the replacement. Additionally, owners should conduct a thorough check of the entire electrical system, as loose connections or faulty wiring could contribute to these unexpected movements. Improper installation of the starter is another potential cause, and ensuring that the installation is correctly aligned and secured is crucial. If the issue persists, it is advisable to seek a professional mechanic's inspection to accurately diagnose and repair the problem, ensuring the vehicle's safety and proper functioning.
