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. *Tr

On saturday, august 21, 2010, the check engine light came on and stayed illuminated in my 2000 saturn ls2 sedan. As expected, I took it in for a diagnosis. The diagnosis I received was quite interesting. I was told there was a left bank 02 sensor failure (2 bank system) and that the car's computer failed and needs replacement. I was informed that if I don't replace the computer, I can continue to expect major components in the vehicle to fail on a continuous basis. The repair shop replaced the 02 sensor but...

I drive a 2000 saturn ls and for the past 6 months my service light comes on periodically and the ac/hear/defrost will not work. There has been a new sensor system placed in the car and I have flushed and used the fuel injection system and changed from using regular to mid grade gasoline and I am still having the same problem. The dealership (was saturn is now road show auto) has tried everything to correct the problem but the problem still remains. *Tr

Saturn 2000 ls! Starting defect. The anti theft system in the vehicle sometimes prevents the vehicle from starting. The vehicle owner must wait ten minutes for the security light to stop flashing before the vehicle can be started. Gm won't do anything about this problem. The problem becomes a safety issue late at night when my wife is stuck in a dark parking lot waiting for the security light to reset. *Tr

For the last month or so fluid from the ac condenser line has been flowing into the passenger side of the vehicle when the ac is on. As much as a half inch of liquid has poured onto the floorboard. About a week ago, the brights on the vehicle have been coming on automatically while the car is on and while the car was turned off and the key removed, draining the battery. The battery now needs to be replaced, but the there has been a sulfur like smell coming from the engine. The engine has been stalling as well. I believe the issue for the brights is the ignition control switch. Saturn has told me that these recalls are now closed. My saturn case number is 71-777062859. *Tr

This continued to happened periodically and car eventually passed out of warranty. Recently, the problem happened again but it will not start at all. Had to tow it...

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.

Over a period of about 2 months I noticed: 1. A...
