Saturn LS Equipment problems by year

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...

4 Cylinder shot, engine shot.This 2000 ls2 v-6 had the whole 100,000 mile maintenance done, timing chain bla bla bla.Electric windows,4 ways hazards, turn signals,engine,a/c-heater,blower motor,handles broke-interior only,car ran good when it ran but when it stopped it always costs money. *Tr

I was driving on the highway when I suddenly lost all power with no warning. I am told by the dealership that the timing chain was broken. I now need to replace the engine - at a cost close to what the car is worth. I see that the 2001 cars have this same problem and were subject to recall. Why not the 2000? *Tr

Customer has several questions about his saturn including ignition and tire replacement**cc the crank sensor was replaced, the shift light indicator in the drive position went out while the headlights were on. The ac was not cooling when the vehicle was in idle. The tires had sever cupping following four cross rotations due to a bad rear wheel alignment. The ignition would not unlock. *Jb

I was driving on california highway 101 south when on an incline, my motor on my saturn 2000 l suddenly stopped working. I had it hauled to my saturn dealer, and was told several days later that the timing chain broke and the entire motor needed to be replaced.

This 2000 saturn ls1 was purchased new 1/12/00. On 3/20/01 and 23655 miles, the car was taken to the dealer due to clutch pedal low to the floor and it was difficult to shift gears. They replaced the concentric slave cylinder. On 5/28/02 and 46235 miles, the car was taken to the dealer due to ses light on and running rough in r, 1rst, and 2nd gear. They replaced the concentric slave cylinder. On 11/29/04 and 79906 miles, the car had to be towed to the dealer due to the clutch pedal not holding pressure and the gears could not be shifted. They replaced the concentric slave cylinder. The same part is failing every 20 to 30 thousand miles with no explanation from the saturn service reps.*Ak

Since car was bought problems with the electrical system. The car goes cuts off when it feels like it. Said it was a loose ground wire. They fixed it and not even two miles down the road it did it again. The if I would step on the brakes too hard the "service engine" light would go on. Usually the car computer would note a code if the service light would go on it didnt. Then a puff of smoke came from the stirring wheel and the dealership told me that it was from a piece of dust. No two months later the switch...

Both left and right front brake wear pad indicators failed.*Mr the indicators failed to perform as stated on page 326 of the vehicle owners manual. Specifically they failed to five an audible warning sound that the brake pads had worn out to a dangerously low level. *Nm
