2001 Saturn LS complaints

A SHORT CIRCUIT OF SOME SORT IN THE THE HEADLIGHT/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH CAUSED A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE. WHILE DRIVING, THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS SHOWED THAT THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS WERE TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, I BEGAN TO SMELL THE ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING AND SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE SMOKE SUBSIDED ONLY AFTER I PULLED THE FUSES ON THE TWO HEADLAMPS. THE FUSES DID NOT BREAK THE CIRCUIT ON THEIR OWN -- THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT GO OUT UNTIL I PULLED THE FUSES. I THEN CALLED THE SATURN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HOTLINE AND ASKED THEM HOW TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ENTIRE CAR (TO PREVENT ANYTHING ELSE FROM CATCHING FIRE) BUT THEY WERE OF LITTLE HELP. I WAS LOOKING FOR A MASTER CIRCUIT BREAKER BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE HAS ONE. THEY SUGGESTED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AT THE TERMINALS, BUT I WAS WARY OF DOING THIS FOR FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY.

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE ENGINE BLEW OUT. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

DEALER HAS REPLACED, FOUR TIMES THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING, CONSUMER WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *NM

HAD A FRONT END ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FAULTY PART WITH AN UPDATED TAILGATE ASSEMBLY. *JB

2001 SATURN LS SEDAN. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BACK COLLAPSED UPON IMPACT TO LEFT REAR. FRONT PASSENGER WAS KILLED. AUTOPSY AVAILABLE FROM CORONER. ACCIDENT REPORT AVAILABLE FROM COUNTRY SHERRIFF'S OFFICE. CAR STILL AVAILABLE AS INSURANCE HAS YET TO BE SETTLED BUT SUBJECT TO BE AUCTIONED IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. NO AIRBAGS ACTUATED ALTHOUGH SIDE AIR CURTAINS ARE INSTALLED. *AK

MY CAR IS 2001 L 200 AND I HAVE HAD NUMERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH EMER. BRAKE AND STEERING. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STRUAT MOUNT, AND BRAKE ROTERS. I HAVE ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE ALREADY BEGUN THE HIGH REPAIR BILLS. WITH NO HELP FROM SATURN AS OF YET. I STILL AM TRYING. *AK

SEAT BELT BUCKLES LOCK-UP SO THE CLIP END OF THE BELT CANNOT BE INSERTED UNLESS RELEASE BUTTON IS HELD DOWN WHILE THE CLIP IS WIGGLED IN THE SLOT. MAJOR CONCERN IS WHETHER THESE UNITS WILL RELEASE PROPERLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT USE THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE OF DIFFICULTY BUCKLING IT. *JB

CONSUMER HAD PROBLEM WITH BRAKES AND WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUED.

AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES, I GOT A STATE INSPECTION OF MY CAR. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE SEVERELY WORN, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. IN ADDITION TO BEING WORN DOWN, THE BRAKE PAD SEEMS TO HAVE NOT FIT PROPERLY AND A "LIP" REMAINED ON THE ROTORS SUCH THAT EVEN IF THE WEAR HAD NOT BEEN SO SEVERE, THE ROTORS WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED BEFORE NEW BRAKE PADS WOULD WORK WITH THEM.*AK

BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. BULBS OK. DETERMINED LEFT REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD CIRCUIT SHORT CAUSING PROBLEMS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTING, PARKING LIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS.*AK

STEERING IS IN CONTINUOUS NEED OF ALIGHTMENTS. *AK

CONSTANT VIBRATION OVER 70MPH. TIRES REPLACED. SUSPENSION BUSHINGS REPLACED. FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ON MY 2001 SATURN L200 DIM OR FLICKER. THIS IS A DISTRACTION DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING AND WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. N ONE PARTUCULAR OCCASION I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN I NORMALLY WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED TO DUE TO THE FURTHER REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY AS THE HEADLIGHTS. DIMMED. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT OTHER DRIVERS MAY THINK THAT I AM FLASHING THE HEADLIGHTS AT THEM. THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS DIMMED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. SATURN STATES THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO REPAIR. *AK

THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PEDAL WHILE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON. PRESSING THE BRAKE AND TURNING OFF CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE PEDAL FELT AS IF IT WERE PRESSED DOWN. UPON RE-START, THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND IT WAS NOT. SECOND RE-START AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES LEFT THE CAR RUNNING NORMAL. *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED STALLED THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. *AK *JB *NM

REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY OR TAIL LIGHT BULB HAS FAILED A TOTAL OF TEN TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2001. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 7/14/01 AS A NEW VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND IT WAS IN THE SHOP TWO WEEKS LATER. SO FAR I'VE GONE THROUGH 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, 2 ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES. I THINK ONLY ONE COIL, WITH A COUPLE OXYGEN SENSORS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. BOTH OF THE CYLINDERS HAVE GONE OUT ON THE CLUTCH. I'M STILL WAITING FOR SATURN TO CALL ME ON AN AIR CHECK VALVE THAT SUPPOSEDLY FAILED. AS FOR THE POWER LOCKS, THEY JUST SEEM TO LOCK OR NOT TO LOCK WHEN THEY FEEL FIT TO DO SO. I ALSO GET A SERVICE LIGHT THAT COMES ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT TO.....

GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. 'SOUNDS' LIKE IT COMES FROM TIRE AREA. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATES THAT STRUT IS LEAKING & CAR REQUIRES NEW RACK & PINION STEERING AT 41K MILES. PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT THE CATAYLIC CONVERTOR MELTED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *PH

TIMING CHAIN TENSIOR FAILED, RESULTING IN LOUD ENGINE KNOCKING SOUNDS AND DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL DIM WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL OR TURNING ON HEADLIGHTS. CHARGING SYSTEM TESTS NORMAL.*AK

2001 SATURN L200 - HEAVY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION/NOISE AND SEVERE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS THAT THIS WAS NORMAL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND MANY TIMES NOTHING WAS EVEN DONE, THERE HAVE BEEN 3 BRAND NEW SETS OF TIRES PUT ON BY THE DEALER OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AS WELL AS NEW FRONT END COMPONENTS AND 2 SETS OF ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. THE NEW TIRES ONLY LASTED APPROX. 5-6MOS BEFORE NEW ONES WERE NEEDED WITH THE TIRE BRAND BEING FIRESTONE. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE. A FOURTH SET OF TIRES WERE PUT ON WITH 1/2 PAID BY DEALER AND 1/2 PAID BY ME (PRO-RATED USE) ALONG WITH ANOTHER NEW SET OF ALIGNMENT SPECS. SO FAR IT APPEARS TO BE GOOD. HOWEVER, IT APPEARED AS SUCH EVERY OTHER TIME AND ALL THE WHILE THE WARRANTY CLOCK IS TICKING. *AK

EACH TIME DEALER ASSURED CONSUMER THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT VEHICLE WAS STILL LEAKING OIL. *AK

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SMOKING. IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS SMOKING 3 CIGARETTES. IT HAD A BLUE COLOR TO IT AND SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED THEN STAYED ON. IT WAS 8 AM AND I DID NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, THE NEAREST SATURN DEALERSHIP TOWED IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREA. (SATURN OF KINGS MALL, MASON, OH). BRIAN, THE SERVICE MAN, NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TURN SIGNAL HAD BURNED OUT. BARE WIRES WERE RUBBING. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME FOR THIS PROBLEM DO TO MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES AND I HAVE 36,900 MILES. I FELT THAT THIS IS A LIABILITY PRODUCT DEFECT AND I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED. *LA

2001 SATURN, PURCHASED JUNE 2001, HAD TO REPLACE REAR TIRES TWICE DUE TO ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. CURRENTLY I HAVE ABOUT 41000 MILES ON THE L300. THE TIRES WERE FIRESTONE AFFINITY. ALSO THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE DECK LID IS MISALIGNED AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT IS STILL NOT RIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING AT 45/50 MPH THREE FUNCTIONS FAILED TO OPERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY; ACCELERATOR/BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

ALIGNMENT IN THE SUSPENSION CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR(CUPPING) ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. *JB

CONSUMER STATES TO SOUND HORN CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FORCE AND DEPRESS IN CURRENT LOCATION. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

CONSUMER NOTICE VIBRATION COMING FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING. 2 GOOD YEAR TIRES HAD TO REPLACED DUE TO SEPARATION. DEALER SERVICE COULDN'T CORRECT PROBLEM. CONSUMER SUGGESTED RECALL. *AK. *CB

CONSUMER STATES THAT FRONT DOOR SEAL FELL OFF RESULTING IN GAS FUMES COMING INSIDE VEHICLE. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND VIBRATIONS STARTS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX. *AK *CB

MY CAR HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS IN NEED OF FRONT BRAKES. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE BRAKES & THE ROTORS WEAR DOWN TOGETHER. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ROTORS EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE OPERATES ROUGHLY AND ERATICALLY, LOSING POWER. CHECK ENGINE AND GAS GAGE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, BLINKING ON AND OFF. THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM WILL FALL TO ZERO AND COME BACK UP TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 4 CYNLINDER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE OPERATES ROUGHLY AND ERATICALLY, LOSING POWER. CHECK ENGINE AND GAS GAUGE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE DASH. *AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2001 SATURN L200 DIM AND FLICKER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER AND/OR FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER ARE ENGAGED. THIS IS A DISTRACTION AT NIGHT AND DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER THAT HAS CAUSED ME TO BRIEFLY LOOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. *JB

ON A LOG ROAD TRIP, I HAD TO HAVE MY HEADLAMPS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE SWITCH(MULTIFUNCTION LEVER) GOT VERY HOT AND STARTED SMOKING. I KNOW YOU DID A TEST ON THIS; HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AS YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS TO GET HOME, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, AS I WAS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A FIRE HAZARD. *NLM

I PURCHASED A 2001 SATURN L-300 IN SEPT OF 2001, I AM NOW ON MY 3 SET OF TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT ONLY HAS 39000 MILES ON IT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REPLACED THESE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. THIS LAST TIME I MENTIONED THE TIRES GIVING ALOT OF ROAD NOISE, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT SINCE THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT OF TIRES ON MY VEHICLE SATURN HAS COME OUT WITH A "SHIM" KIT FOR THE REAR END . WHEN MENTIONING THIS TO A FRIEND WHO WORKS IN AUTO MANUFACTURING SHE STATED THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE . TO MY KNOWLEDGE SATURN IS NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES NOR IS THEIR CURRENTLY A "CAMPAIGN" ON THIS ISSUE . THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF MICHIGAN IS WORKING ON THIS CASE WITH ME UNDER THE LEMON LAW OF MICHIGAN BUT I CAN NOT LET THE SILENCE CONTINUE IF THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TIRES ARE FIRESTONE AFFINITY. *NLM

I OWN A 2001 SATURN L300. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE LIGHTING SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO FLICKER DURING DRIVING. WHILE I AM STOPPED IT GETS WORSE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASSURE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THE CAR AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX IT. I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH THIS AND AM SURE THAT THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL. *JB

THE SATURN L-200 HAS A REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT SATURN IS NEGLECTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN OR OUT OF WARRANTY. IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. *JB

BOTH FRONT WHEEL ROTORS TOTALLY SHOT BEYOND RE-SURFACING AT 27.565 MILES ON 2001 SATURN L300 AUTO. BACK BRAKES STILL AT 80%. INFERIOR ROTORS WITH TOO SOFT METAL-A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO ALL OWNERS...AT THIS MILEAGE IT IS ABSURD-ROTORS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100,000+ MILES..MFG REFUSED TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT-I HAD TO PAY... *NLM

VEHICLE HAS AN ALIGNMENT FAILURE , THAT CAUSES THE FRONT TIRE TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED AN ALIGNMENT KIT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS (AND OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVICES) DIM (LOSE POWER) FOR A MILLISECOND AT RANDOM TIMES. IN MY OPINION, THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS NOT REACTING QUICKLY ENOUGH TO RANDOM POWER SURGES (LIKE THE COOLING FAN KICKING ON) AND THEREFORE EVERYTHING DIMS FOR A MOMENT. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND UNSAFE. I NOTICE IT WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY ON COUNTRY ROADS (NO STREET LIGHTS). TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL - BULL! I KNOW A SYSTEM DESIGN PROBLEM WHEN I SEE ONE. I HAVE HAD MOTORISTS ACCUSE ME OF FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. WHAT'S UP HONESTLY SATURN??!! WHY CAN'T ANYONE ADMIT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW? *NLM

COMPLETE FAILURE OF POWER STEERING PUMP. DEALER REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2001 SATURN L300. AT 9000 MILES I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE RIDE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE DEALER TO INSPECT IT. THE DEALER SAID THE TIRES WERE CHOPPY AND HAD UNEVEN WERE. THEY ALSO STATED IT WAS A KNOW DEFECT. THEY REPLACED TWO TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. WELL I NOW HAVE 30000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I AM GOING TO REQUEST MY 5TH, YES FIFTH, SET OF TIRES TO BE REPLACED. ONLY THIS TIME AM I GOING TO REQUEST ANY TIRE AS LONG AS IT IS NOT THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY HP P205 65 R15. THIS IS MY FIRST GM CAR AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. IF GM KNOWS THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE, WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE TIRE? *JB

WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED ON, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.*JB

THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING.*JB

2001 SATURN L200 - STARTED HAVING INTERMITTEN "GROANS" OCCURRING WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS (BEFORE 50,000 MILES), AND THEN OVER TIME HAD INTERMITTEN POWER STEERING FAILURES FOR SHORT PERIODS. POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED TODAY. SYMPTOMS SOUNDED LIKE THE 1.5 MILLION RECALL GM HAD FOR THE BEARING IN THEIR POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY I READ ABOUT IN NOV.

THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT "CLANKING" NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. MR SCC

OEM WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONSISTENTLY CHATTER AND HOP ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD LEAVING STREAKS AND NUMEROUS UN-WIPED AREAS, EVEN WHEN NEW. REPLACING WITH AFTERMARKET WIPERS (BOSCH) IMMEDIATELY RECTIFIES THE CONCERN.

CONSUMER STATES THE HEAD LIGHTS SWITCH IS MELTED OBSTRUCTING BRAKE LIGHTS. AND SIGNALS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION... TS

AT 12000 MILES I TOOK MY L200 SATURN IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES (2) WERE CHOPPY. THEY REPLACED THE TIRES AND DID THE ALIGNMENT AT NO CHARGE. I INQUIRED AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL SATURN BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT WEIGHTED REAR END OF THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE THAT THIS IS OR IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM?? I NOTIFIED SATURN CO AND THEY FILED MY COMPLAINT UNDER REFERENCE # 1-4597347, AND STATED THE MAN MADE COMPONENTS MAY REQUIRE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THAT I UNDERSTAND, BUT WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS IF THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. IS ONGOING, AND THAT I MUST ASSUME THE COSTS, OR A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A RECALL TO CORRECT THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROBLEM? OR COULD THIS RESULT IN A BUY BACK ETC....? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. WILLIAM SURBROOK. ****DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769742. *AK *JB
