Six problems related to tail light switch have been reported for the 2000 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2000 Saturn Ls 1 that I had bought in June 14 2012 @ the us truck & auto on us. 31 south here in traverse city michigan 49685. The salesperson's name is[xxx]. I was on craigs list looking for a reliable car and I came upon us truck & auto and wyane would not let me test drive the car and that the car is in perfect running condition until March 14,2014 my wheel came off at a stoplight getting to go on green but didn't move far. And when I got the car the dome light wasn't working and a wire had been disconnected from the daytime head lamp and burned out tail lights. Since I purchased it at a car dealership I took they had the vehicle inspected but learned later that wayne does not always have the vehicles inspected that he puts on his lots but sells lemons. He would rather sale a lemon or a vehicle that will in danger a person then to follow the laws and make sure the vehicles are road safe before he sells them. I needed a car because I have a friend that has issues with her back and legs plus we live 7 to 8 miles out of traverse city, mi and don't have much money to do much of anything right now. My friend and I love this car the engine and transmission are fairly new. We have tried to ask for help getting the car fixed from churches and other organizations but even they barely have the money to help. The buses here refuse to work for us and taxis are way to much money to take us shopping for food or doctor's appointments. Please help us get our car fixed or maybe even a different 4 cylinder car. Thank you for your time! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I wasn't in a accident thank god but I bought this car going on a year from a auction and in about 4 months ago noticed the back tail lights kept going out and then just wouldn't come back on I tried everything. Ad of 10/6/2013. I change the fuses the brake. Lights came on for one night and then went out again. So I don't know what's going on. So noticed that it was a recall on this. And I wanted. To see if I could still get it fixed on the recall because I cant drive my car like this and it need to be fixed. And didn't have this car at the time of the recall and this is serious and any other recalls on this car that need to be fixed I need it.
The Saturn Ls needs to be reviewed when it come to tail light, reverse, and blinker lights. I have had so many safety concerns with these lights, and not to mention costly work. There is no wiring from the light to the vehicle this makes it difficult to change the bulb. My reverse lights completely stop working, and so I did what most car owners would do, but somehow replacing a bulb does not work with these vehicles. As a buyer we should be able to maintain simple labor. For instance, changing a tail light! these light components need to be reviewed, for this is a serious safety concern for any car owner.
: the contact stated a recall letter was received back in October of 2005, regarding the tail light. Letter was misplaced and the manufacturer was contacted to have copies of that letter as well as any related recalls on his vehicle. Manufacturer refused to send copies.
Complaint received via e-mail. Tail/stop light assembly failure on both sides began on 05/2003 with left side. Replaced socket/bulb. However, problem recurred on 06/2003, and replaced assembly at a cost of $84. 37. Replaced sockets on both sides 3 more times. Stopped by police twice, as recent as 12/2004 for no tail/stop lights on right side. The problem was with only with top socket/circuit. Service and parts manager at temple Saturn, 1-800-460-7688, was well aware of problems, and said this was a common problem only for 2000-2002 vehicles. Contacted Saturn customer assistance center, stated the problem, and was given case ref #1-14090108. Also, was told not enough complaints for them to replace at their cost. The parts and service managers at temple Saturn - heath green/chuck green could provide information. Basic problem was the circuit board which was placed with plastic hold downs melted and caused the metal to move and short out.
Tail light bulb disengages from contact and goes out. If consumer jiggles cord it will come back on. Consumer is concerned that anytime bulb can go out and there is no indication. Please provide any further information. Mr.
