2002 Saturn Saturn L Series

VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING IN A HIGH TRAFFIC INTERSECTION A LOW IDLE SPEED. PRIVATE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS IGNITION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ISSUED (03V2310000)A.K.A.03-C-06, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT COVER THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS 2002 SATURN L100 WITH 23,000 MILES. THE MFG HAS TO BE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR WAS $497.00. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES IN THIS INCIDENT FORTUNATELY. I HAVE RETAINED THE DEFECTIVE PART FOR INSPECTION IF NEEDED. *TR

SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS W/THE TAIL LAMP BRACKET HOUSING ASSEMBLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED, I THOUGHT WHEN I BROUGHT BACK THE VEHICLE ON DATE OF PURCHASE, SUCH WAS NOT THE CASE, THE TAIL LAMP BRACKET HOUSING CONTINUED TO BURN OUT. I STRESSED TO THE REPAIR FACILITY AT SATURN THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. FINALLY I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN 2005 FOR THIS DEFECT (TAIL LIGHT HOUSING BRACKET). I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE VESICLE FOR 2 YEARS PRIOR TO THE RECALL, IN 2005, IT STILL BURNS OUT 3 BULBS AT A TIME USUALLY A WEEK OR MONTH AFTER REPAIR. IT IS NOW 2006 AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM WITH THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP (REPAIR DEPARTMENT), BUT THEY HAVE ONLY NOTED THE REPAIR TWICE; SO EVERY TIME THE ASSEMBLY UNIT GOES OUT THEY TRY AND CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR!...NOW THE CAR IS NEARLY PAID OFF AND I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CAN'T BE REPAIRED. MY REPAIR LOCALE IS SATURN OF MASSEPEQUA, NY. *NM

MY 2002 SATURN L200 WITH 66,000 STARTED AND RAN FINE UNTIL I TURNED A CORNER WAS GOING ABOUT 10 TO 20 MPH AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING APPOX 100 YARDS FROM A BUSY INTERSECTION. CAR WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO LOOK AT IT TILL THE NEXT DAY. THEY FOUND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND CYLINDER HEAD WOULD COST $2200 TO FIX BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE. NO INJURIES OR CRASHES OCCURRED ASK DEALER IF THIS WAS COMMON HE SAID NO THAT THIS OCCURS EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. *NM
