Six problems related to ignition module have been reported for the 2000 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 2000 Saturn Ls2. There have been 2 recalls on the "l" series vehicles. Although my model is considered the Ls series, I have experienced the exact same symptoms with my vehicle as described with the l series recall. The most recent was the replacement of all four of the oxygen sensors in my vehicle which I believe to be the same problem as described with the l series vehicle and attributed to the Saturn part known as the ignition control module. Over a period of about 2 months I noticed: 1. A deterioration in idle quality 2. A reduction in overall engine power 3. The engine was hard to start these are exactly the same problems experienced with the icm recall on the "l" series. I had to replace, at my own expense, all 4 of the oxygen sensors for this vehicle. After contacting Saturn, they insisted, based on my VIN #, that my car was not included in this recall. It seems rather coincidental that I have experienced the exact same symptoms as 2 recalls on the same model year car from the same manufacturer. It is my belief that the recalls should be extended to cover the Ls series vehicles as well.
- the contact stated that she was on NHTSA website and found that her 2000 Saturn l series had been recalled due to the ignition module. The contact stated that the recall on the website was in August 2003. She has already had this repair done, and still have the repair order. The contact stated that she did get a recall on the same vehicle for her brake light but not for this recall. The recall stated that problems with ignition module may cause problems with the catalytic converter and contact has had this repair done on vehicle also. Telesis will call the contact and give her the information in the faq. Updated 2/22/2007 -.
Currently the blower motor for the heater/defroster is not working. I have had many many problems with this car, inparticular with the brakes and steering. The rack and pinion was repaired twice. I have had brakes replaced twice, and recently the brake drums, rotators and pads. I have had the power steering pump repaired and from time to time need to have the steering wheel lubricated when it starts to make noise again. I am wondering if I am the only one with these problems or are others with this same car having the same problems. I do not feel safe when I am driving this car. I have brought it to the dealer many times to have things checked with wheels and steering.
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.
Consumer's vehicle had the same problem as stated in recall 03v231000 concerning the engine. The dealer would not repair because the vehicle identification number was not included. The engine cut off after 4 attempts and all lights lit up.
Engine check light would come on. Vehicle may or may not be able to start. Computer will not recalibrate itself. This causes motor to misfire. Mechanic would reset computer, but did not have a fixed remedy. Computer was defective.
