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. *Tr

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. *Tr

The 2000 saturn l-series has an existing recall for hazard warning switch assembly replacement (saturn refers to it as #00-c-03, jan. 4, 2005); However, my vehicle is outside the vin series for that recall. Nevertheless, my vehicle exhibited the symptoms described in that recall (turn signal intermittently inoperative; hazard warning switch sometimes made a loud "buzzing" sound, especially in very cold weather); I contacted saturn; however, since vehicle was outside recall vin range, they would not address the...

Recently my infant daughter just barely avoided being seriously injured when the rear window brake light on the 2000 ls1 suddenly and unexpectedly detached and fell while driving. We had checked with the dealership, who told me that no recall had been issued because of this problem, and the technician could find no reason why it should have fallen. His solution was to have us order a new part and pay a large sum of money for the part and labor to install it. A check with the nhtsa informed us that this was a...

Dt*: 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.

Brake lights fail when you push on the brakes when the headlights are on. The plastic welds holding the rear housing to the taillight reflector melt and the rear housing shorts out the brake light..*Nm

Consumer received recall letter regarding saturn tail light bracket housing- bulb repair. When called to make an appointment consumer was told repair work was already done. *Ts ***no answer required*** *jb

Brake lights continually fail. Only one light will come on & the one that is on is brighter than it should be. Multiple light replacements do not work. Dealership has noted that the power circuit is run through the light assembly itself & that it isn't always seated resulting in failed circuit. In driving I see multiple saturns with this issue. Secondarily the high mounted brake light if 1 bulb blows it shorts out the interior dashboard lights. *Nm

Exterior lighting - brake lights and cruise control. Brake lights randomly fail to work. When the headlights are on, brake lights, tail lights and cruise control do not work. We were able to adjust the lights slighty to get them to work for a period of time, but they would go off and on. We were not aware of this problem until driving at 10:30 p.M. And being told we have no rear lights. Have changed the light bulbs a few times and also have been to the dealer 5 + times on this issue. The last time they replaced the complete light sockets. This seems to have stopped the problem for now. *Nm

My problem is with saturn not honoring recall number 05v245000. Gm recall no. 05052 My brake lights have never worked correctly on my 2000 saturn lw station wagon.

Dt: the contact owns a 2000 saturn ls1. The contact states that the electrical components on the driver's side of the vehicle do not work. The windows, the horn, and brakes lights are not working.

Dt: while driving home and giving left turn signal there was smoke coming out of the steering column. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and the switch was defective and it caught on fire on the inside.

Dt: the windshield wiper control on the steering column broke off when the consumer tried to turn the windshield wipers on. This occurred in the middle of a storm. Consumer took the vehicle to a dealer and they said there were pins missing from the steering column that caused the failure. No corrections have been made at this time. Consumer said saturn was contacted by the dealer about this problem. Also there is a problem with the rear taillights that make them go out when the consumer hits a slight bump or pothole. The consumer can tighten the taillight and it will work properly for a while then stop. Consumer feels he should not have to pay for this. *Jb

While using turn signal the brights would come on and sometimes wouldn't go off for awhile. This has happened to me twice and I have had it replaced twice at my cost seeing as how the vehicle had just gone out of warrenty the first time

Tail lights failed on saturn 2000 ls twice. 2004 Replaced entire tail light assembly. April 2005 replaced rear assembly again . I was ticketed twice for this because you don't know when these lights are out. Also, this is very unsafe in rural and suburban areas where there are a few or no street lights.*Ak
