Two problems related to emission control have been reported for the 2000 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2000 Saturn Ls1: since I have purchased this car brand new and taken it for regular maintenance I have had the following problems: several voluntary recalls, then I have had 3 actuator motors in my doors go bad (all different doors); cradle bush bearings needing replacement; front suspension linkages needing replacement; the car battery exploded; emission system malfunction. Everytime I gripe to Saturn they are not willing to look into, I feel like there are numerous safety concerns that should be looked into in the 2000 Ls series.
I have been notified of a 2002 Saturn l-series recall NHTSA campaign id number 03v231000. I have contacted the manufacturer and dealership numerous times regarding my electrical system; O2 oxygen sensor, etc. They have refused to even check my vehicle stating my VIN was not effected by this recall. I'm not sure how I can proceed with this as I have had numerous machanics inspect my vehicle, and all have concluded my VIN should have been included in the recall.
