MY DAUGHTERS 1999 SATURN SL CAR WITH 57000 MILES ON IT HAS STARTED SMOKING FROM THE EXHAUST AND I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE ENGINE HOLDING UP. WE HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED THE OIL AT 3K MILES. ALSO, I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO. I'M VERY UNHAPPY WITH WHAT COULD BE A MAJOR ENGINE DEFECT PROBLEM. *JB
