1996 Saturn sl2

[LUV2XLR8_75]

Is it just me or does every single 96' saturn have problems. I bought mine with 56,000 miles ran fine. I hit 100,000 miles I had to put a new tansmission the pin went thru mine. 3 months later I had to put a motor in it my engine light is still on it has never shut off even with the new motor and just 2 months ago I had to put another transmission in the car because the pin went thru the tranny again. Not to mention 2 radiators and my fan is now rigged up to the fuse box so that it stays running. Now my car has decided to stay running even with the keys out. How do you win? 5400 dollars for the car 4000 for the motor 5000 for the 2 trannys and 100 for the raidators. When does it end

was the second trans new or used? i've have heard diff pin go, but unless you were putting some major stress on that tranny, i have never heard of one going that fast. and i don't know any good tech who would install a new motor and leave a SES. i have only heard of one other saturn that runs with the key out, some wires were shorted to the headlight fuse. why is the fan hotwired?
